The Sid Fryer home place is
beautifully located in a amall val-
ley surrounded by low friendly
hills. Many varieties of trees and
mish that line the creek banks
tnd climb the undulating hills
nake each coming of spring a
vertification of eternal life and
the advent of autumn a woodland
rainbow of hope. There the dlean
country air laden with the blend-
ed fragrance of wild flowers and
aromatic shrubs enchant the ob-
server and fascinate the lovers of
nature’s sweet mysteries.
Into this idyllic setting John
Fryer was born when it was
April seventy years ago. It was
in those days when life interests
were more concerned about the
homestead and the neighbors just
beyond the turn of the road or
over the rise. Then the echoes
from the hills were’ sounds of the
lowing of cattle, the bay of the
stock dogs, and the call of the
hunter’s horn. Planting and culti-
vation and harvest came in sea-
son, but there was plenty of time
and plenty of unfenced space for
the chase, the fishing excursions,
camp meetings and watermelon
cuttings.
John Fryer was a young man
and I a small boy when first he
won my confidence by letting me
hold the family collection of squir-
rel rifles and deer guns. And
this was at a time when the cool
east porch of the house was .blank-
eted with a mosaic of sweet, red-
meated watermelons. My next
clear memory of him was when he
and Miss Ella returned from their
honeymoon in Nfcw Orleans to take
up temporary residence in an up-
stairs apartment in what is now
the Jess Anderson house. With
youth, a fair bride, a good business
in town, and the bewitching years
before him, John, felt and exhibit-
ed all the confidence of health and
happiness and success. But town-
life didn’t fit him and he return-
ed to the old home, the land, and
the cattle.
The coming of the children, the
facing of good times and bad,
family problems and civic services
were his as they are the lot of re-
sponsible citizens everywhere,
^id during all this complex busi-
ness of living, the years slipped by
as the man grew older and more
mellow with the wisdom of exper-
ience. He had his portion of per-
plexities, but much to make life
full and pleasant.
John had his own ideas, many
of them stable and workable, some
of them irrational and worrisome
—but they were his own ideas. He
stood strongly for fair play and
individuality; he thought through
situations, despised underhanded
dealings, and persistently refused
to wear the brand of any man or
group of men.
By the measure of a man’s life
in years he lived his three score
and ten, lived to see five sons
grown and his grandchildren about
him. He enjoyed the remarkable
loyalty of a good wife, the confi-
dence of his neighbors, and the
visits of his kinsfolk and friends.
At the eventide of his fife he took
a swift departure and his family
and friends in sorrow and gentle-
ness bore his earthly tabernacle
to the silent city of departed loved
ones.
The homestead that received
him decades ago, cheering his
heart through the years, remains
serene as it has been for nearly a
hundred years. Autumn will soon
nme again and the spring time in
its season. Riotous color will
blanket the wooded slope ere long,
and winter breezes will waft wood
smoke across the valley, and that
chill will give place in time to the
return of life in meadows and
fields. God’s good goes on, and
rich is that man who enjoyed so
much of it so long.

Sanitation is the number one
item in any successful fly control
program. Insecticidal treatment
is no substitute for cleanliness.
To prevent frayed ends on rugs,
I stitch across each end on the sew-

A light over the sink and another
