Triancular Debate. On last
Friday night our school contesied
in a double-header debate with the
Roanoke Rapids school. Our de
baters handled themselves remark
able well; but their opponents
showed that they had been on the
debating; arena before.
Three of our opponents had pre
viously been in a State wuie than
gular debate, and been to Chapel
Hill. Only one ol ours had been
to the Sim University, as a result
of winning in a debating contest.
With such odds against us, we did
remarkably well. Our debators
produced equally as good argu
mem as their opponents, but were
not quite so well posted on previ
ously written rejoinders.
Although we lost the decision of
the iudees. Rev. M. Y. Self, of
Scotland Neck, Prof. Henry G
Ellis, and Lieutenant E. L. Potter,
of Emporia, Va we gained a whole
lot, first a knowledge of our weak
points, second a determination to
try again.
Another featuieuf the evening
was the splendid music furnished
by Mr. Hardison and his company
of musicians. The audience great
ly enjoyed this. We are very
grateful to our orchestra for us
part of the program so efficiently
carried out.
At the close of the program re
freshments consisting of candy,
salted peanuts, sandwiches and
pickles, were served to the deba
ters, judges, president and secre
tary of debate and members of the
orchestra.
Fill your soul with richness, then
when sorrow comes to you, her
black shadows will be parted into
golden rifts by your gathered tun-
Miss Shoulars Hostess
rriaay evening, Marcn :ain, in
ihe home of Mr. and Mrs. C. P.
Rodwell, the Senior B. Y. P. U.
had iis first quarterly social.
The reception hall, parlor and
dining room were tasteful !y deco
rated in peach blossoms and ferns.
A contest of "Abbreviations of
the Stales" was one of the attrac
tions. Mr. W. B. Edwards and Mrs.
Hunier winning the first prize
while Mr. Strotherand Miss Rosa
Rodwell won the booby.
One of the most enjoyable feat
ures of the entertainment was the
making of an apron by the young
men. The young ladies then sew
ed the letters "B. Y. P. U." on
the apron which was presented lo
Miss Orie Shoulars as hostess of
honor.
Miss Shoulars wore the apron
in serving refreshments, consisting
of cream and cake.
Those present were : Mr. and
Mrs. C. P. Rodwell, Mr. and Mrs.
Newton Shepherd, Mr. and Mrs.
C F. Gore, Mrs. J. G. Blalock,
Mrs. Sidney Allen, Mrs. Ruth
Hunier, and Misses Garner, Pearle

Mr. Strothers.
Good Roads. A good country
road is always to be desired and is
a source of comfort and conveni
ence to every traveler. Good roads
attract population, as well as good
schools and churches. Good roads
improve the value of the property,
so that it is said a farm lying five
miles from market, connected by a
bad road, is of less value than an
equally good farm lying ten miles
away from market connected by
a good road. A larger load can
be drawn by one horse over a
good road than by two over a bad
one. Good roads encourage the
greater exchange of products and
commodities between one section
and anoiher.
OBITUARY.
Berry Wesley Cullom, son of
Joel and Nancv Cullom was born
January 28, 1844, and departed
his life ihe evening of March 28,
1919, at the age of 75 years and
two monihs. He was an old sol
dier, serving through the Civil war
and while there received some se
vere wounds from which he re
covered and lived to the ripe old
ae mentioned above. He profess
ed faith in Christ in early life and
ived a faithful Christian until hts
death The sudden going of Uncle
berry, as most everybody called
him, has cast a gloom over the en
tire community not thai we have
any fears of his eternal welfare or
that we doubt God s will in doing
right for if we are to judge a tree
by ihe fruit it hears we are confi
dent that he is not dead but only
transferred from a life of service,
pain anil sorrow to a life of eternal
l'iy with the angels around the
none of dod. Hit always looked
on the bright side oThfe and tried
to see some good in everybody.
He loved lire but ai the same time
he was not afraid oi death.
It was the writers pleasure to
visit his home only a few weeks
before his death and I have never
visited a home where there was any
more love and sunshine in my
life. He always seemed to be
happy and loved to hear good old
lime songs, his favorite song being
When ihe Koll is Called Up Yon
der I II Lie mere. Ana such a
loving and devoted wife. But
dear wife, you have nothing to
grieve for that you have left un
done for I believe you have done
all that was in your power for him
while on eu in so don t grieve just
humbly bow and say the Lord gave
and the Lord takeih uway blessed
be the name of the Lord. The
beautiful flowers that covered the
grave bore a silent tribute to the
esteem felt for him by his friends
and neighbors and the tears shed
were tears of love for one whose
many kindnesses were sacred in
our minds. We are very sad to
know that on earth we will see
him no more but over on the other
side w e hope to meet with other
loved ones where parting will be
no more. Uncle Berry leaves a
widow, several brothers, and many
oiher near relatives. The funeral
services were conducted at the
home by his pastor, Rev. Mr
Towe. and the remains were laid
to rest in the family burial grounds
to await the resurrection morn
May the Lord sustain the broken
hearted widow and loved ones in
this sad hour. Loved ones it is
sad to think Uncle Berry will be
among us no more in this world
but it is comforting to think some
sweet day when hie is over we shall
meet again. We shall greet those
loved ones gone before in that hap
py Iiuiiic of luVC.
Trials here below we meet
Sorrow, pain and care
In that happy home so sweet
Joy and peace will share.
Bright the dawning of that morn
Night returned 10 day.
Parted friends no farewell know
All tears be wiped away.
A Cousin.
