LaSalle Quartett will be at the court house tonight, (Wednesday) at 8 o’clock. Admission 25 and 50 cents. This will be a good, clean entertain ment and you will miss a treat if you fail to be prese&|| This entertainment is a series of programs that is to be presented during the winter. DEATH OF A GOOD WOMAN. Just as we go to press on Tuesday night, w r e learn that Mrs. W. E. Brooks died at her home in Pittsboro about six o’clock. She has suffered many months from an incurable mal ady and her true Christian spirit has been fully demonstrated in her faith ful, patient suffering. Realizing that her end was near, she smiled and gave every evidence of the great faith she had in the God she loved. Mr. Brooks was 45 years old last September and she was generally j known and universally loved. During her days of health and physical endur ance,-'she was ever ready to assist in any capacity where her presence, help or influence would benefit. Her great friendship for The Record and its ed j itor shall ever be cherished as the ! years come and go. She was alike to I all, regarding everyone for their true i worth and she always fully demon -1 strata Christian character. She was a loyal and devoted mem ber of St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal church in Pittsboro, and her burial will take place in the historic old cem etery, the time to be decided on alter. Besides her faithful and devoted husband, Mr. Will E. Brooks, she is survived by two brothers, Robert Sut phin, of Virginia, and James Sutphin, who is located in California. Four sisters, Mrs. John Thames, Washing ton, D. C., Miss Irene Sutphin, of Oteen, Mrs. Cooper Harris, of Pitts boro and a sister in California. We deeply sympathize with her loved ones, her multitude of friends and the scores of sorrowing acquain tenances, in the loss of so good a wo man. M. P. CONFERENCE CLOSES. The 9Sth annual session of the Metlv odist Protestant Conference, in ses sion in Thomasville at the new Com munity church, since Wednesday of last week, came to a close last Mon day. Appointments of interest to the peo ple of Chatham county are as follows: Siler City—A. D. Shelton; Saxa pahaw—H. L. Iseley; Spring Church —H. S. B. Thompson; Stanley—Atlas Ridqre. The Conference was large’y attend ed and one of the most successful in many years. NEWS NOTES FROM MT. ZION. Moncure, Rt. 2, Nov. s.—Miss Janie Clegg began teaching in the Chatham school on the _9th of October. The people in the Mt. Zion com munity regretted that it w:-' so m i last Sunday afternoon, which pre vented the preaching service. As it was not convenient for the pastor to be with us, he had sent Prof. W. R. Thompson to make a talk. Mr. Thompson came during the progress of Sunday school. The doors and windows were all closed, and there were no ears in the grove, and no doubt, he thought that he was the only person present. Therefore, he turned his car and went back to Pitts boro. , . Rev. J. J. Boone, the pastor, will preach at Mt. Zion next Sundav af ternoon at the regular time. We hope the weather will be pretty so that we shall have a good congregation. Mt. Zion is usually one. °f the first churches on the circuit to pay the pastor and we want to be the first one this year. We want Mr. Boone back with us another year and we expect to have him back. We are anxious for him to go to Conference paid in full and that this will be the most enjoyable i Conference he has attended.

By Rambler. “This is going to be a hard winter,” remarked our weather man, “because the chimney rweeps left us sc soon.” “I guess lY.t-J • re will not get a circus this year,” spoke an old citi zen yesterday. ‘Well, it don't make any difference. I c.cn’t go circuses on ly to look at the n onkeys.” “I understand that some of Pitts boro’s fine artists are to give a play at the auditorium when the doors are thrown open to the public,” said a lady, “and we are going to make some money. The play has not been an nounced yet, but it’s going to be a gofod one, and I want the ciitzens to hold in their laughs until they see what Pittsboro folks can do.” “That was a narrow escape those young people had a few nights ago,” remarked a citizen. “That telephone pole that stands on the corner below the Methodist church should be re moved. Not only that, the deep ditch on the opposite side of the street should be filled up. A car coming from the south has to turn too quick on this particular corner for safety. The lives of those young people were certainly saved by the mercy of God.’ “Pittsboro is not behind other towns and is ahead of some of the smaller ones,” said a citizen, talking about camp grounds for tourists. “Mr. Ar thur London owns a vacant lou in rear of his store and by his consent many tourists stoo there. It helps ad vertise Pittsboro. 'recause these peo ple find such good accomodations there they tell others. It’s a mighty Kod act j'i Tl.. T v ndon ami the town appreciates it ” GENERAL NEWS BRIEFS.

He died a short time later. Mrs. Bat son is expected to die. Alexandria, Va. —With solemn rit ual, in the presence of the nation’s highest officials and one of the larg- ; est gatherings of Blue Lodge Masons in history, the cornerstone of the lof ty national memorial which will be er ected by the Free Masons of Amer* ica to their revered craftsman, Geo. Washington, was laid. Danville, Va.—A. C. Conway lia<-- retumed from Deep river coal field in Chatham county, North Carolina, and reports that mining operations were expected to be in full swing by November 15th.
