The following letter, received a few davs ago, explains itself: I Constantinople, March 26, 1023. The Chatham Record. Pittsboro, N. C. Dear Sir:—Mr. Frank R. Pierce, of the U. S. Steamship Denebola, now stationed in Constantinople, after hav } ing- served an 8-vear hitch in the U. S. Navy, decided that the service couldn’t get along without his valuable services so, being the man that he is Mr. Pierce shipped over for 4 more years. After having shipped over he decided he was reaching the age of I bachelorhood and he entered the game of matrimony, having become engaged j to* a Grecian lady of remarkabilitv. I Needless to say, Mr. Pierce is in the height of his glory, which he should ; he. Here’s hoping Mr. Pierce finds | a wife like rftine. Wishing to see this in your Chat ham society news in the near future, I remain, SHIPMATE OF MR. PIERCE.__ Found in a Serious Condition. Will Tilman, of Bynum, a white man of rather peculiar habits, was found in the woods *a mile or two of Bynum Wednesday of last week in an unconscious condition. Ke has been living on canned goods practical ly, for a number of years. Near by u-qc; found a can of meats of some kind which had been partly eaten and the supposition is that he ate part of the contents, leaving the remainder in the opened can, later eating more of it, wheih resulted in ptomaine pois oning. Death of Mr. Bynum. W. H. Bynum, of Franklinton, N. C., after a lingering illness, passed peacefully away at his residence on May 5, 1923, and was buried in the town cemetery at that place, on the 6th. He left a widow also one child by a first marriage. His last wife was Miss Endora Marks, of Chatham county, (now Lee). Mr. Bynum was devout member of the M. E. church and a very useful and much loved citi zen. Hrs# grave was covered with flowers by the children of the town. d. a: l. THE NEW JAILER. Mr. John Bums has been appoint ed by sheriff Blair as jailer for the county, succeeding the late Harlowe Taylor. The position was sought by several men and the decision for appointment was not reached until Tuesday. The work of the jailer is very im portant and there is a great deal more to the place than is imagined hv the average person. To keep the jail free from germs and vermin, contagious disease, and look well to self preser vation as well as to the safety of in mates to follow, and to withstand the annoyance of visitors, re'at.ves and other trials incident to the work, is no easy task. Tt is said that Mr. Taylor was one of the best jailers in the state and Ms successor has Chat obstacle at least to c »mbat. An Exciting Time. Mrs. E. A. Farrell, delegate to the Woman’s Federation of Clubs, which met in Winston-Salem last week, re turned home Friday afternoon. Mrs., Farrell, while in the Forsyth capital, stopped at the Robert E. Lee hotel as did many of the other delegates. Sometime during Friday night fire broke out in the hotel, and although very little damage was done, there were some scared delegates and for a time it was exciting, as some of the ladies came out of the building dress ed only in their nighties and some wrapped in first one thing and anoth er. Mrs. Farrell states that she would have been as excited as the rest of thorn had she remained over until Sat urday. ANNUAL MEMORIAL SATURDAY. Intesesting Items From Our Neigh bors ci.i New Hill Two.
