Tarboro Southerner. Just last week* a very old colored woman died in No. 13 township. Her dying request was to bury her in a white coffin, but her friends went con trary to her wishes and put her in a black coffin. On that night her many friends went to pay their last respects and during the late hours of the night her “spirit came back and showered hail on top of the house. The people in side became frightened and ran out, after seeing the stars shining bright ly, they decided to go back. There was nothing to be frightened over, so the deacon said “let’s sing number 120.” About that time there was a great commotion in one comer of the house, and the mantel fell, and right then and there it became time for somebody to move. One good sister fell out the door while the balance passed over her— she got out alive but somewhat dis figured. One brother ran over the ta ble and turned the lamp over, but took good care not to let the light go out. Fie was somewhat delayed in getting out ajid being behind, he joined the aviation corps at the door. Another man had a sprained knee, but when last see he was running on an advanc er spark. It was said that his speed would make a Ford turn green with envy. I guess people will comply with dy ing requests in these parts hereaf ter. Hope for a Star Mail Route. Durham Herald. Hopes for the establishment of the star mail route from Durham to Sil er City through Chapel Hill, Pitts boro and other points, have been re vived. Letters have been written to the Senators of this State and to Con gressman Steadman asking that they use their influence towards having the route established. A representative from the post of fice department recently went over the proposed route and although he did not make a definite statement as to his opinion regarding the route he left the impression with those who accom panied him on the route that was thought to be extremely favorable for the route. i Through inaugurating the mail route and with the automobiles run ning on a regular schedule it is claim -1 ed that the mail service to the people I along the route proposed will be im ' proved, thereby permitting people to get mail from points along the route ' quicker than at present.

Breathes there the man with soul so dead, # > Who never to himself hath said; This is my own, my native land! Whose heart hath ne’er within him burned, As home his footsteps he hath turn ed, . From wandering on a foreign strand! If such there breathe, go mark him well; For him no minstrel raptures swell; High though his titles, pround his name, • Boundless his wealth as wish can claim, Despite those titles, power and pelf, The wretch, concentered all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And doubly dying, shall go down To vile the dust from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonored, and unsung. <3l, also at a matinee Saturday as- . temoon.

A new inspiration has come to some of the people around Blue Rode who 1 live four miles from Providence. They < have about concluded that a Ford truck can haul something besides cross ties, corn and meat. And why should it not haul 15 boys and girls to Sunday school every Sunday?
