Than Dollars. Pennies are
more in demand than dollars in

one-cent pieces and these coins
have been shipped to the banks by
the bushels.
A Great Catch of Rock
Fish There has been more rock
fish on the market in Weldon this
season than has been seen here in
many years. Rumor say the cause
of this is that one of the large
seines in the lower Roanoke was
some way broken, and so let
the swarm of fish pass by and reach
eir old time haunts. Some of
the fishermen said the river was
so thick with them a boat could
hardly pass.
A Six Month's Term The
people of this State have deter
mined that every boy and girl born
within our borders shall have a
fair chance in life to become a use
ful man or woman. To this end
they have prepared for a six
months school term, with compul
sory attendance, a juvenile court
with a probation officer in every
county, and a county board of
charities and public welfare to look
after social conditions and find
remedies for social evil.
County Board of Charities.
The State Board of Charities
and Public Welfare are required
to appoint three persons in each
county who shall serve without
pay and act as a county board of
charities and public welfare. It is
probable that two men and one
woman will be appointed in each
county. 1 he county board meets
with the county superintendent of
public welfare and advises with
him as to his work of general wel
fare in the county.
Judge S. M. Gary. Mr. S.M
Gary, the clerk of the court of this

teen years of age. The juvenile
court is not a criminal court, but a
corrective and disciplinary and
protective agency for children who
are in need of such care.
Located In Weldon. We are
greatly pleased to announce that
our friend, Dr. W. A. Carter who
has been practicing his profession
at Emporia, Va., has located in
Weldon. Those in need of his
service will do well to call on him.
The loss of a horse, mule or cow
means something these days and

be had.
Compulsory. After July 1st
of this year, when the law goes
into effect, every child between
ight and fourteen years of age
must attend school for the full term
of the public school, which is to be
six months hereafter. If a child is
unable to attend on account of pov

ness of ihe school authorities and
the chief attendance officer of the
county to see that the law is com
plied with.

Distressing Accident. Wel
don has been shocked and grieved
in many ways recently by the suc
cessive distressing events which
have followed one another in rapid
succession but by none more than
the painful accident which occur
red on Saturday night and resulted
in the deaih of little Dallas Augus
tus the five-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. John B. Zollicoffer. This
was caused by burns from a bath
tub of very hot waier into which
the little boy fell while playing
with a ball. Mrs. Zollicoffer had
set the tub down and turned away
for a minute when the accident oc
curred. The little fellow suffered
intensely for a short while but died
about 1 1 ;30 P.M. The parents are
crushed with grief and the large
family connnection and other
friends unite with them in sorrow
and deepest sympathy.
The funeral services were con
ducted from the home by Rev. F.
M. Shamburger, all the ministers
of the town taking part as well as
Rev. N. C. Duncan, a former rec
tor of the Episcopal Church. The
burial was in the family square in
Cedarwood cemetery. The pall
bearers were the little boy's grand
father and great uncle for whom
he was named, Drs. A. R. and D.
B. Zollicoffer and two own uncles
Messrs. A. S. and H. D. Allen.
The floral offerings came from far
and near, were many and beautiful.
Our hearts go out to the bereaved
family to whom we would offer
some word of comfort did we not
feel thai nothing we can say can
assuage their grief and only time
and the consolation of knowing
thai the little boy is safe with Him,
who took little children in His
arms and blessed them and said of
such is the Kingdom of Heaven,
can help them in this hour of
heavy trial.

these days. And the New
hetroil Vapor Stove makes it certain ihat the mother-made pie or cake he longs for will be perfect.
Perfect, thorough and rapid baking and c-mking make this stove appreciated by every household. Al
though it burns oil, it is comparable only lo a gas range in its powerful, instantaneously efficient burners
with their sturdy construction and their ease of control.
Detroit Vapor Oil Stoves
No Wicks Light Instantly Work Like Gas
A Detroit Vapor Oil Stove gives the same service and convenience as the modern city gas range and at a
much lower cost. It is more econninicil than i-ither gas, coil ( r wood. Burns 19 hours to a gallon.
There are no wicks, asbestos rings or wick substitutes of any kind in the Detroit Vapor Oil Siove.
Heavy durable iron burners vapone the oil giving an intensely hot blue fiaine right under the cooking
utensil.
Call anytime and see our demonstration of this oil stove without a wick.
You will be interested to see how it works like gas,
