IN LOVING MEMORY OF
MRS. CLAUDE GREENE
The Woman'* Missionary Society
of Ahoskie Baptist Church mot in
regular session, Friday afternoon,
December 8, 1922. While the mem
bers stood in sorrowful silence the
secretary erased from her roll the
name of our co-warker and friend,
Omo Harrell Greene.
Mr*. Greene was faithful in the
duties of life. As the oldest child
in a large family she early learned to
be a dependable companion to her
father and mother, a gentle counselor
for her brothers and sisters, a teacher
and friend in the community where
she was reared, and when at a later'
date the marriage vows were 4|>oken
she became a loyal and devoted wife,
giving freely all the warmth and
. strength of her nature into the mak
ing of a home for him whom she loved
best
We believe our sister and friend
was ready when the Master called. We
believe that when the angel of life
joyously gave to earth the tiny babe,
the angel of death triumphantly bore
away the spirit of the mother to a
place prepared for those who love and
serve God.
To the bereaved ones this message,
wafted on the wings of song as the
casket rested in the flowered ehurch,
comes with ever growing power and
comfort:
"We'll catch the broken thread again,
And finish what we here began.
Heaven will the mysteries explain,
And then, ah, then, well under
stand." *

dor after Christmas. She couldn't
very well bo married before then as
her fiauce was so especially, unusual
ly busy at Christmas time, and It
would hare been cruel, too, not to have
waited.
For Bill, her beloved, took the part j
of a Santa Clans every Christmas for |
one of the big city stores. Be was an
Ideal Santa Claus. He wasn't too tall,
he was not too short; be wgs rather
Inclined to a stocklness of build, and
extra clothes made him look an Ideal
round Santa. He had a ruddy face
and snapping blue eybe?and dressed
In a Santa Claus costume he vtas per
fect.
How the children did adore him!
And how he loved them I They whis
pered their secrets to him and their
eyes danced with rare happiness when
he wavM a good-bye to them and
called them: J
"Sweethearts," and "My dears," and
"Ohlldtfen dears," and other affection
ate terms.
Rosalind had been thrilled when
she had heard him first, in his deep
beautiful voice uttering such beautiful
words 1 For Rosalind had met *blm
first when he had bean a Santa Ctaus
and she had been an extra sales girl
taken on for (be Christmas rush.
It had been her first meeting with
him. But she had been kept at the
store after the Christmas rush was
ever, and Bill had worked for the
store for seven <years now. Every De
cember he was Santa Glaus. The oth
er eleven months he spent In selling
kitchen utensils In the basement
They had fallen In love with each oth
I er, though, at this time when he had
been Santa OUus. And, many a time
when he had said: "Oood-by dearie,"
to a child, he had been thinking of the
pretty girl who was at that very mo
ment selling dolls and giving - her
smiles, her beautiful smiles to a moth
er or to children.
And now a second Christmas was
coming around, and once more Bill
was Santa Claus, and as soon as be
was through being Santa Claus they
would be married.
Tve always had lots of romance m
my mature," she said to him one eve
ning. Tve always thought It would
be awful to he like some folks?some
I know and some I've heard talk. One
lady who came to the store with a
friend was telling how she and her
husband got along perfectly. They
each had other friends, And sometimes
they met and embarrassed others when
they told that they were married. For
one time the husband had been having
dinner with a friend, and the friend
had been looking flirtatiously at his
wife who was also In the restaurant.
"The friend had been much embar
rassed when be discovered he had been

Took tho Part of Santa Claus.
flirting with the husband'* wife. And
?he was telling this a* ? good Joke.
'1 wouldn't went that kind where
one' goes one way and the other the
other way. And I wouldn't want to
be know# a* a wife because I waa
quarreling with my husband.
"You know how you hear folks say
'Well, you could tell they were mar
ried, ail right' I don't want that
kind."
"And you won't have It, little girt,"
Bill said. "I'm for your kind of ro
mance every tlm& I'm for the kind of
a married life where folks won't think
we're married?well be so happy I I
had a friend once like that Why, a cop
called him down because he was mak
ing love to his wife and wouldn't be
lieve they were married 'cause she
called him 'darling.' They found It
awkward, but they had the right
idea." /
And as Rosalind listened to her
Santa Clans, as she counted the days
before the wedding, she said to her
self:
"It will be ki annual romance to see
BUI as SantrV Claus, for It was as
Santa Claus that I, too, fey In love
with htm as well as the children, and
every year oqr happy, merry memories
wUl be revived for ua. We believe In
romance and romance believes in ua
for It. too, Is going to play Its-part"
And someone who knew them both
said:
"ft wouldn't be a bad Idea If every
man could be as he was during his
courtship days for a whole month of
every year!"

Start the day right by having the
breakfast room aired and tidy, even
though a more thorough sweeping and

?_ Trenton, November 30^-C. *
* M. Foy, who Uvea four miles *
* from Trenton in Jones Count, *
* has found that it pays to use a *
* a legume in building up his crop *
* yields, In a demonstration eon- *
*, ducted in cooperation with *
* County Agent E. F- Fletcher *
* this past season, an acre of land *
* was planted to com gave some *
* interesting results. This entire *
* acre was fertilised with 126 ?
* pounds of an 8-3-3 fertiliser be- ?
* fore the com was planted on ?
* May 16. All of the land in the *
* acre was the same type. On ?
* one-fourth of the acre, crimson *
* clover was plowed under before *
* the com was planted; one-fourth *
* had the clover graxed and the *
* stubble plowed under, one-fourth *
* was given a top dresser of 200 *
* pounds of an 0-9-2 And one ?
* fourth was used as a check plot '*
*? with nothing added except the *
* regular fertiliser used over the *
* whole acre when the com was *
* planted. ?
* Here are the yields: ?
* Plot with clover ,<..41.5 ?
* bushels per acre. *
* Kot with clover stabble 87.7 *
* ?bushels per acre. *
* Plot^ with top-dresser 84-6 *
* bushels per acre. ?
* Plot used as check 26.4 ?
* bushels per acre. *
* TVs demonstration proves that *
* clover will help to increase the *
* average yield because the plot *"
* which was fertilized with an *
* 8-3-8 mixture gave only 26.4 *
* bushels, while the plot on trhieh *
* the clover was plowed under *
* before the same fertiliser was *
* added gave a yield of 41.6, an *
* increase of over 16 bushels per *

TURN HAIR DARK I
WITH SAGE TEA
I If Mixed with Sulphur It Darkens
So Naturally Nobody
Can Tell
The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth
er's recipe, and folks are again using it
to keep their hair a good, evpn color,
which is quite sensible, as we are liv
ing in an age when a youthful appear
ance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct, improved by the addition of other
ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound." It is very popu- ,
lar because nobody can discover it has '
been applied. Simply moisten your
comb or a soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a feW applica
tions, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which is
so attractive.
