In the death of Mr. E. A. Callaway last week Wilkes county lost one of its most worthy and respected citizens, and all men, women and children whom he knew him, lost a loyal and understanding friend. During the time we have been editor of this newspaper there have been many occasions when we were called upon to go before the County Board of Education and present some problem that was to be considered by that body and the Washington City Schools. On every occasion we knew that, if our cause was just and fair, we would have Mr. Callaway on our side. We shall miss Mr. Callaway in the future but the inspiration of his life will be a guiding influence with those who knew him for all time to come.
