Oregon Letter

[Portions lost at edge of paper]

—

Myrtle Creek, Oregon

January 16, 1931

To the Grayson-Carroll Gazette and its many readers: Greeting from our little summer haven of the Northwest.

I wish I could write a personal letter to the many old friends whose names I see in the Gazette, but I am busy if I am a village parson. My Pastorate takes in many thousands of acres of hill and valley surrounded by mountains of prominence. A little West of the Cascades and East of the Coast Range, with their lofty peaks in view.

I wrote before about our warm winter. We are still in the valley of flowers, roses are still blooming, and many other varieties of flowers blooming beautifully in our gardens, but I have told you often enough about our climate. I know some of you think I am lying but if you do come and see for yourself.

Well, times are pretty close here financially. Our people depend upon sheep, wool and prunes, and none of these are paying propositions. Wool is down to nothing, sheep the same, and some of the farmers did not sell their prunes for enough to pay for the harvesting. The farmers are hard hit, and when he is hit we all suffer, for it is by the sweat of his brow that we all eat our bread.

But I am wondering how many people are talking with God about htese times? How many of us were thankful when we had the abundance of everything, when wheat waqs selling for three dollars fa bushel, pork twenty cents per pound, three dollars for a sack of flour, and three dollars for a pail of lard? Did we thank God for prosperity, or have we forgotten God, and decidd we can run our own business? Can we run it without him?

I remember a Scripture verse that has greatly impressed me in the laqttr years. John 15:7, “If ye abide in me and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you.” I am persuaded that any people that forget God, must pay the penalty. It may be we are paying it.

Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances and have not kept them.

Return unto me and I will return unto you saith the Lord. …But ye said, wherein… …eturn? Will a man … Will a man … Yet ye have robbed … But ye say, wherein have … robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. . Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be enough room to receive it.”

Listen again: “I will rebuke to devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruits before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.”

I might go on with these scriptures to show that our God does have power over our temperal [sic] affairs, and obedience to His commands, is our only safeguard. How many of us, I repeat, are talking with God about these times and conditions?

When I started to write I did not mean to take this angle of thought, but it happened, my friend, whoever he or she may be, touched my heart in their last week’s news, when they referred to my statement of the flowers and the beans from our garden—and if he will come out I can give him all the lettuce he wants from our garden, but I must dig it out for a new garden. He asked me about the sweet perfume from the locust tree in bloom and referred to the old locust grove, it makes me homesick to think of it. How I would love to roam as in the days of long ago, over the hill and along the streams, and through the woods,and I think of my boyhood companions in the roamings. There were the Sayers boys, Lee Peak, Gordon Perkins, and my very dear crippled friend, Alex Perkins, and James Mullins has gone on to the future abode, and I know not about the others named and I am following close, I know not how close in the way, but I am trying to keep my books balanced, so I shall not have to worry when i reach Jordan ’s banks, but may hear with joy, the boatman say, “All aboard for the city of Life, and of many mansions.”

I wish your correspondents would sign their names to their news. Some do, some do not, I wish they might for I have a warm place in my heart for them, and for the Gazette. It is a great joy to get the paper. We read it all even the adds [sic] and the court doings.

Well I must close.

May 1931 be a great year for the paper and all of its friends, and its staff of workers be richly rewarded.

J.A. HALL

OBITUARY

—

Nancy Caroline, daughter of Isaac and Charlotte Barton, was born January 17, 1854, died January 3, 1931, age seventy-six years, eleven months and seventeen days.

She was married to Zachariah S. Daniel May 18, 1876. To this union was born nine children: Mrs. J.W. Boyer, Cedar Springs, Va.; Opie Daniel and Mrs. Wiley Taylor, Independence, Va.; Mrs. A.N. Moore, Fries, Va.; Claude, Vergie and Clyde at the old home, Fries, Va., still live to mourn the loss of a dear mother.

Two of her children and her husband preceded her to the Great Beyond. A son, Otto, died at Camo Humphrey, October 13, 1918; a daughter, Mrs. Ila Funk, died May 12, 1924; her husband September 16, 1923.

Three sisters and one brother survive: Mrs. Emma Smith, Roaring Gap, N.C.; Mrs. Mollie Ward, Mrs. Etta Bedwell, Independence, Va.; and Mr. Billy Barton, Fries, Va.

At the death of her daughter, Ila, she took in her two children, an infant and the next oldest child, and helped to care for them until her death. Her interest in these children is evidenced in the fact that just before her death she asked those at home to look after them and have them say their prayers.

Mrs. Daniel realized that according to nature she could not be here many more years. On her last visit to her daughter, Maude, while discussing death, she calmly said, “I am not worrying about death.” And when the illness came which took her away. she said to her son, Claude, as he stood by her bedside, “I have thought all the time I would get well, but if it is the Lord’s will to take me I am ready to go.” When nearing the end of the way she said to her daughter, “Vergie, I am going away for a while. Don’t work too hard.” Later on taking her son by the hand she said, “Look at the flowers! I see my home! I see my home!” And looking out over the river of death she folded her hands and, “went away for a while.”

She was converted in early life and joined the Methodist church at Independence. After her marriage she moved her membership to Summerfield, where she remained a faithful member until she joined the church triumphant. She was a quiet, unassuming character, beloved by her husband, children and all who knew her. She lived her life among us. We all knew her and it is useless to extoll her goodness. Her funeral was conducted by her pastor, Rev. J.C. Spurlin, and her remains were tenderly laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery near the church of which she was a member.

Dead? No, she is not dead!

“There is no death! Although we grieve

What beautiful familiar forms,

That we gave learned to love are torn

From our embracing arms.

Although with bowed and breaking hearts,

With sable garb and silent tread;

We bear their senseless dust to rest,

And say that they are are “dead.”

They have but dropped their robe of clay,

To put their shining raiment on,

They have not wandered far away,

They are not lost, nor gone.”

LEEANDER CARTER

—

Leeander Carter died at St. Lukes hospital, Boise, Idaho, on Sunday, January 11, 1931, after an illness of several days, with tuberculosis of the kidneys. He was taken to the hospital the 29th of December 1930. Here he suffered for two weeks until the death angel came and took him to that home on high. Sad indeed was the news to his dear father, mother, sisters and brother when the news was received of his illness, so far out in the West that they were unable to reach him. Two sisters, Mrs. H.M. Adams, of Newman Grove, Nebr., and Mrs. C.C. Martin, of Roseville, California, reached him on the 5th. They stayed by his bedside until the last.

All was done for him that loving hands could do, but his time had come, our dearly beloved one had to go, just as the sun kissed the Eastern hills with its crimson glow.

He was the son of Cortley and Eliza Carter, of Grant, Va. He was 37 years of age Married nine years ago to a Western woman. To this union was born one little boy, Kenneth Claude. His wife preceded him to the Great Beyond leaving him and the infant baby which he has struggled to raise these sad and lonely years of her absence.

He wrote a letter to his sister, Mrs. H.M. Adams, a few days before he died, making the request for her to keep the little boy and that he be buried there.

He leaves to mourn his loss one son, Kenneth Claude, father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. W.C. Carter, one brother, Cicero Carter, of Conowingo, Md., five sisters, Mrs. Eddie Parks, of Flatridge, Va.; Mrs. H.M. Adams, of Newman Grove, Nebr.; Mrs. C.C. Martin, of Roseville, Calif.; Mrs. J.O. Rhodes, of Conowingo, Md.; Miss Ruth Carter, of Grant, Va.; and Miss Lugene Carter, of Conowingo, Md., and a host of relatives and friends.

He was loved by all who knew him, was an honest and upright man and will be greatly missed but our loss is his gain. He has paid the debt we all have to pay. It is hard to give them up when we love them so well but God does all things for the best. Dear father and mother may God heal your wounded, groken hearts and some dayt guide you to that home of peace and love where there will be no tear dimmed eyes may this be the guiding star to the entire family, may we all meet in peace and love.

Baby Sister, Lugene Carter.

Conowingo, Md.

The Old Man And His Sons

An old man had several sons who were always quarreling with one another. The father had often talked to them about the evils of quarreling but it did them no good. One day he called them together and held out a bundle of sticks tied tightly together, and ask each one in turn to break it. Each one put forth all his strength, but no one could break the bundle. Then, cutting the cord that held the sticks together, the father first broke one of the sticks himself and then asked his sons to break them separately. They did so with the greatest of ease.

“See my sons,” he exclaimed, “the power of union! Bound together by brotherly love you are strong enough to stand against any earthly ill; but divided, you will easily be overcome by your enemies.” In union there is strength.

Bible verses: “Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.”

“Stand not in an evil thing.”

“Your agreement with hell shall not stand.”

“Thus saith the Lord, it shall not stand.”

“The word of God shall stand forever.”

WINTER TIME DOWN ON THE FARM

—

By Ella Kinzer Williams

That winter time is good for some,

It’s very plain to see;

While for others not so well fixed up,

It may not so pleasant be.

When the snow is on the hillside,

And the wind is from the West;

Well, says I, now boys,

It’s time to take a rest.

You two can just take turns,

To carry in the wood;

And keep the fires agoin,

This will only do you good.

And the, I must do something,

Some energy to arouse,

So I’ll just do the feeding,

And the milking of the cows.

There’s ma, she has just plenty,

To give her exercise;

She all the time keeps busy.

This shows shes good and wise.

When the barns are filled with plenty,

And the store rooms are running o’er;

And the young ones, looking happy,

Playing round upon the floor.

And the housewife in the kitchen,

Humming a cheerful tune;

I’d just as soon it was winter

As the hottest day in June.

And the old hens in the barnyard,

Are cackling in the hay;

Well, I’m not for certain,

But that they;ll soon begin to lay.

Well, the eggs’ll come in handy,

Tho eggnog’s out of style;

We’ll find a better use for them,

We need them all the while.

When the cake is in the oven,

And the pot is boiling fast;

Well, winter’s just so pleasant,

I wouldn’t care how long it would last.

But right around the corner,

The blessed spring time stands;

Just waiting for “King Winter,”

To loose his icy hands.

And then we must get busy,

If the winter we’d enjoy;

Like the busy little ant,

Each golden hour employ.

LETTER FROM SAILOR

Jan 14, 1931

Receiving Ship

Grayson County Gazette,

Dear Editor:

You know that it has been some time since I was in Grayson, but not so long at that. I believe it was in November. Anyhow over eight thousand miles have gone by. Yes and over eight thousand to go.

You would have enjoyed the trip that I have just finished. Departed from New London, Con., hit ports of New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Norfolk, Charleston, S.C., St. Thomas, V.I., then on to Guantanomo, the Cross Roads of the world, Panama City, C.Z., then on down to Corinto, Nicarauga, (eight U.S. Marines were killed there the day we got in Corinto), leaving Nic behind we next hit San Diego, Calif., then San Pedro, on up to Maries Island on down to San Francisco, Calif. Now I’m at Goat Island, Calif., waiting for the U.S.S. Nitro to go to China and will leave here the 19th of January and arrive in Honolulu, T.H., about the 8th of February, and then on to Manila, P.I. I can’t say when we get to Manila. Then the last of my trip on to Hong Kong, China.

My dear Editor, you may know that I could tell you many things of this trip and will do so when I reach my new home over in China. As you already know I am a Submarine Sailor and go aboard the S-Boats over there.

Here’s a souvenir for you, Editor, old top, and watch out or the revenue officers will put you in the JUG. Anyhow it will tell you I’ve been where the “Good Stuff” is.

Here’s to the Gazette, may it always prosper.

Yours truly,

The Iron Mountain Sailor

Why

Durham-Duplex Blades

are Suspended from Tabs

DURHAM-DUPLEX Blades must be perfect before they leave the factory. And we spare no effort to keep ‘em that way.

Because rubbing against paper dulls a keen edge, we hang these exquisite edges out of harm’s way on patented tabs. They don’t come into contact, even with the wrapper, until the blade is actually used.

That’s why the long, keen Durham-Duplex tell their whole story right on the face!

Interchangeable Blades 50¢ for package of 5.
