"DLIND since birth?48 years?
-*-* Mrs. Betty Ann Wagoner can
now see out of her right eye. In
a few days . surgeons at Charity
hospital, New Orleans, will remove
the bandages from her left
eye. If the operation on her left
eye is as successful as that on the
right, the almost miraculous
achievement of restoring a totally
blind person to full, sight will
have been completed.
But whether success or failure
results from the operation on her
left eye, Mrs. Wagoner is happy
beyond words. She can now see

me ou us wnose songs sne loved.
She can see the beauty of landscapes
and what were to her the
unbelievable inventions that represent
the genius of man.
Wants to See Son
But above all, her first desire
was to see her son, who is now
19 years old. She thrills at the
thought of seeing him within a
few days. Her husband has been
dead many years.
"I stand now at my window in
this hospital," she said, "and see
people walking back and forth
along the sidewalks. 1 see automobiles
and street cars. I see
smoke coming from the chimneys.
Oh, how wonderful it all is!
"And when my son learns that
I can now see him he will fly to
me. What a wonderful thing it
will be to see the face of my son.
I can hardly wait!"
When first the light came into
her long-dead eyes, Mrs. Wagoner
began asking questions that only
those youngsters still in Swaddling
clothes ask. Her nurse was
her instructor that first day she
went to the window after the
sight in her right eye had been

A PLAY ON ECONOMY
(Characters the sheriff of
Warren, deputies and the board
of county commissioners.)
R. O. Snipes, deputy, enters the
commissioners room through a file
of fellows who haven't paid their
taxes.
Snipes?Gentlemen, I have captured
several stills and I want the
pay which your board has
guaranteed.
Newell?I know your claim is all
right, Mr. Snipes, but Mr. Burroughs
is our purchasing agent and
general check-up man, and he has
had the appendicitis and can't know
about the bill. Move we postpone
until we investigate. This has got
to be an economical jadministration.
Wall?Second the motion.
Chairman Powell?All in favor of
postponement say "I."
A majority of "eyes."
The beard returns to routine,
passing up for decision until the
second week in July several claims
for tax reduction.
Enter Thomas Ellington, deputy
sheriff, with a bill for the capture
of three stills, and the bill okehed
by the sheriff.

of the eyes probably had not atrophied
from the years of disuse,
So, .without holding out to her
any guarantee that they would
succeed, they told Mrs. Wagoner
that if she wished to undergo the
operation they, might be able to
restore her sight.
Mrs. Wagoner consented. The
operation was performed.

Powell?I believe I will vote with
Mr. Skinner and Mr. Burroughs for

Powell?Here's a bill for capture
of a still and two men. They say
they were convicted.
Member of the board?Well, we
got to pay it.
All?It is ordered.
The court record, not introduced,
showed that the men were convicted
of possession and not of manufacturing
and that the still was a
mile and a half from the house in
which the convicted men had a pint.
The Public?Well, the board talking
about economy when it comes
to something that counts for life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
is chasing rainbows. It might save

IN MEMORIAM
Mrs. SARAH P. TWITTY
Mrs. Sarah Palmer Twitty was
born August 16, 1840, at Palmer
Springs, Va. She died May 2,
1928.
Her father, Horace Palmer, moved
to Warren County and lived at
South Bend, a typical southern
home on the Roanoke river. She
lived through the war between the
States. She enjoyed the ease and
luxuries of slavery time, and she
knew the hard times after the
war.
She married Robert C. Twitty
one year before the war. He was
a gallant soldier, serving the first

Rifles," and afterwards in the
First N. C. Calvary and was the
last lieut-adjutant of that famous
regiment. He has gone, too, to
join the host of gallant officers and
men of that regiment, Ransom,
Gordon, Cheek and many other
officers, who made the First N. C.
Cavalary one of the best regiments
ever organized.
For four long years this young
wife had to be master and mistress,
too, in caring for slaves, nursing
them in sickness and helping
them at work. They had nine
children, one died in infancy; four
boys and four girls remaining.
Mrs. Twitty was a good woman
with a high sense of honor and
integrity. She was an unusually
modest and womanly woman. Her
children and grandchildren are
like her. They are the living examples
of her life and creed. They
rise up and call her blessed, and
their greatest pleasure for years
was to love her, respect her and
make her comfortable. She had
been blind a long time, but she was
patient ana ner peace ana contentment
were remarkable. We
know God was with her during
life, and we believe she is now at
rest with our Father.
