Better Facilities Needed. * . 1st. At our teachers' meeting on Friday, ttie 11th iost.'. very gratifying report* were made by the teachers. Them report* showed that the children of the county are largely in school; and if not, the teachers for the most part, have pot themselves to the trouble to ascertain their wber abouts, finding that many of them are in school elsewhere. The average ?(tendance has not been as good as desired on accouti'. of an epidemic of grippe through out the country. This is passing off and attendance is improving. The reports showed that the I teachers are having very little trouble jo keeping the children of compute ry age in school, which to say the least is quite en couraging. We have not had to anforce fhe law in a single cose yet, and it is to be hoped that we shall not. The teachers, with few excep tions, have done their work well in the Township Meetings. These meetings are for the im provement of teachers from a professions! point of view, and the teacher who neglects this part of his or her work will be soon down sod out, and ought to be. 1 It is indeed a source of gratih calion to know that the teachers, almost without an exception, are much interested in preparing their fcbuols for the exercises of the Ciuity Commencement, which is to take place on Friday, the 14tf- of April. Therefore, judging from the re ports of the teachers and from what I could learn on my visits, the schools of the county are do ing quite well, considering the difficulties under which many of tliem have to work. 2nd. In some of m.v statements heretofore, I hare, called attention to the need of better equipment in many of the districts. May I re peat here that many of the child ren of the county are sadly suffer ing both in body and mind from being crowded tato ooorly lighted and ventilated houses. Under aoch conditions, it is impossible for pupils or teachers to do their beat work, to aay nothing of the dangers to which tbey are exposed with respect to health. I want to urge as strongly a* I may that the people visit their re spective schools. If tliev hod good house properly lighted, and ventilated, and bested, and a well of good water near the building, aud other absolutely necessary tilings, they have great cause to congratulate themselves and to feel proud of what they have and what tbey have done for their own and neighbors children. I am glad and the people of Hertford County are glad that we have several [schools fulfilling, the coudttions. But when they visit their schools if they should not find these con tions, they should never rest un [til tbey secure them. 3rd. I have been talking with the people of several communi ties about voting a special tax and establishing graded schools in these communities. Such schools are much needed in a number of places, and tbey should be arrang ed for this winter and spring so that tbey may be ready for use nekt session. I find many people not only interested, but enthusias tic fpr such schools; and I urge those who are not now interested, from oils cause or another, to con sider the matter seriously, and I feel sure, if they do, they wf(l not hesitate to 'all in line with the more progressive communities of the county. ^ The people of Mapleton fihve caught a vision and' have already voted a tax and aft preparing to enter the ranks of those who are determined to bate schools suit able for the children of the pres ent day. All who are contemplating es PUBLIC DISCUSSION At Wilton Crtrt Next Monday by Mr. Jno. H. Small. 1. Editor, Hertford Gounty Herald: I beg to announce through the Herald that 1 will make an ad dress in the Court Houae at Win ton on Monday, February 88th, at U'o'oloek A. M.

C., Februaiy I7th: Miss Annie Barnes delight fuli.v entertained a few friends Thursday afternoon, carrying out the Valentine idea moitattractive ly in decorations and favors. After a lively game of Rook a red heart shaped Grab Bag was passed to the guests with the request that nobody look at her "grab" until the bag had been around. Each guest held in her hand a tiny card bearing,the surprising news "E. C. G.?B. B. S. March 1916." It was sometime before the truth dawned that the cards were an* nouncing the approaching mar riage of Miss Elma Grimes and Rev- Baxter B. Slaughter. While Miss Grimes was receiving the con gratulations and best wishes of all present. Miss Barnes served dain ty ices decorated wjth Cupids. Small red satin heart-shaped candy boxes made most appropriate favors, while the bride to be was presented with a beautiful heart shaped box of candy. Both Miss Grimes and Mr. Slaughter are vary pooular here, and they have the good wishes of a host of friends.?Reported. Uiblisiiin'g graded schools should begin now; tor, if they wait until late in the spring, they cannot get ready by the opening of schools next fall. What will be the first to start in this progressive move ment? N. W. Britton. IN MEMORIAL ? Mrs. Lizzie Cottm Lowe, wife of Kichsrd K Lowe, departed tliiM life st her home at Hariells ville, N. C. Feb. 3rd. after a ?in? gering. illness of several months, aired 25 years, 6 months, and 2 days. She suffered great pain, but visitors would never know it, as she seldom spoke of ber suffering, but boped to get well, until a few days before site died, she told her loved ones, it would soon be over, that she would fore to stay with them, but it was not Qod's will. Mhe was a faithful member of HaTellsville Baptist Church and Sunday school, always being pres ent at all services until health failed, she was q'jiet, gentle, and unassuming and to know ner was to love her. In her home was the place where she left the best and most lasting impressions of her sweet life, and it is so hard to un derstand why one so young be taken from our midst and the end of this beautiful life is so veiled in mystery to us all, but by and by "we shall.understand". "What I do tliou knowest not now but thou shall know here alter," and may these proverbs comfort the loved ones, snd her sad death, be the means nf bring ing sil her loved ones to Christ. She leaves to mourn her de parture, a. husband, aged father, 4 brothers and a host of relatives and friends, to which we extend our heartfelt symalhy in this grenl sorrow, and commeud them to our Heavenly Father who doeth all things for the best.' We know they will miss her and especially the devoted husband who will be so lonely, but he has the sweet memories of the three happy years tliey walked together here, and what are a few years of loneliness, to the eternity of joy ahead, where hearts are never wrung in i>art ing. The floral tributes were very pretty, est>ecially>the one from the Eastern Star Chapter, of which ahe was such it devoted and faith ful member. * Tlie touching funeral 9evice? were conducted from the Baptist church o?, Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock by Rev. Lineberry, among a crowd of sorrowing rel atives and friends, after which the remains were taken to the family cemetery near Bethlehem and the body laid to rest beside ber mother who preceded her to the better land a few years ago. "Safely, safely gathered in. Free from sorrow, free from sin. Passed beyond all grief and pain, Death for thee is truest gain. For our loss we may not ween. Nor our loved ones long to keep; From the hour of rest and peace, When all sin and sorrow cease. Safely, safely gathered in, Free from sorrow, free from sin, God has saved from wear.v strife. In it's dawn this young life. Now she waits for us above. Resting in the Saviors love; Jesus grant that we may meet There adoring at thy feet." , E. M. B. ANNOUNCEMENT.
