eral days following. Lake Michigan was said to be wilder than it has been for seventeen years, and shipping was extremely dangerous. One old seasoned captain failed to weather the storm and is now along with his crew of 20 or more, resting in Davy Jones' locker?that immortal grave of all those who are doomed at sea. This old captain, who for 20 years had sailed the lakes and earned the name of "Rough Weather Tom," sailed once too many. Death often takes the bravest of men. Well folks, I am now "A Knight riyin " nnlu T Hnn'f, carrv a ^ U1 HiV/ V_4 X 1|>, W1HJ A v?v? . ? ? grip, but a Eureka Vacuum cleaner ( instead. I am a salesman for the * Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Co. and 1 believe me we have the very best 1 cleaner on the market. (In case I some of you good house wives in ? clear old Warren would like to have c a real cleaner, please let me know.) Believe me I have certainly run across some strange things and stranger people in my short two weeks as a salesman. I only wish I j knew German, Polish and Woopish ( for then I would be sitting pretty, and I could combat with the "Speeka no English" wives, but as it is I have to be pretty gocd at sign 1 making, and, I might add, it takes 0 an A-l contortionist to imitate a r vacuum cleaner. One learns to laugh when a door 1 is slammed in one's face in this C house-to-house canvassing. But on the other hand one finds lots of t civil people and all in all it is a I very pleasant work. I sincerely hope it will turn out to be profitable as(j well. J t The other day I stepped to the door of a rather comfortable looking s house, pushed the bell and was met j in a few seconds by a young married lady, and after a tew minutes talk, in which I won, she allowed ^ me to come in with my cleaner. During my demonstration of the c cleaner, which called for lots of talk, and at her first chance to get in a word, she said, "What nation- ' ality are you Mr. Jones?" "American," I replied, "but you see, madam, I am from the South." * "I didn't know," she said, "but J you are the funniest talking man I have ever heard." I left the cleaner with her. how- ' ever, so she must like that Southern brogue. s Pete and I have had the pleasure ( of seeing a couple of good shows of ! late and they were certainly en- joyed. We saw Walter Hiers, the great screen comedian. You know that fat guy. He was very interesting and drew a large crowd. At another theatre we saw one or tne greatest pictures, if not the greatest, it has been my pleasure to see? "Rio Rita," featuring Bebe Daniels and John Bowles. To all music lovers, and other lovers as well, I would say, hear John Bowles sing "Rio Rita" to Bebe Daniels, and her reply to him. It is something you will never forget. It is a Vitaphone musical comedy worthy of any ones time and money. The other night when we arrived at school we found awaiting us announcements of the marriage of our president, Andrew L. Schaidler, to Miss Sybilla Brouneis, his former secretary. It seems that the mycrobe of love has started to work in the Aero Corporation of America. All of us hope it doesn't spread. That's one disease that Pete and I aren't worrying about. Here's luck tt> the enough. I might say in reply that Andrew L. Schaidler. One of my friends writes this week that he is very glad that Pete got one on me in last week's Record for I had been riding him enough. I might say i nreply that I may not know the difference between the lowing of a cow and a fog horn, but you don't catch me flirting with WAX figures.

Rev. Walter Patton, presiding elder Df the New Bern district, and Rev. E. C. Few, pastor of the Queen Street Methodist church will serve is the official hosts. Much interest is expected to be manifested in the coming session iue to the quadrennial general conference meeting in Dallas, Texas, May 1930, and to which the North Carolina conference elects >ix clerioul and six lay delegates. As the general conference is the legislative body of the entire church. the election of delegates 'or the conference representation is of prime importance. Next in interest to the delegates to the quadrennial general confer;nce is the old question, "where do ,ve go from here?" The old Methpdist law of four-year tenure that formerly governed the changes in pastorates is now only applicable .0 bishops and presiding elders and his fact leaves the preachers in iuspense and doubt as to their tharges for the ensuing year.

Boyc L m, North Carolina Many Thousands Women Poorer But . Wiser After Fling NEW YORK, Oct. 30.?Thousands j of women, erstwhile speculators, j returned to their bridge tables today, poorer but wiser in the ways of Wall Street. Attracted by the profits to be made during the past year, women of all classes have been in the market. The slump which began a week age and culminated in yesterday's record-breaking crash gave the majority of them their first baptism of fire and wiped many of them out. During gruelling days that have tried veteran operators they have crowded about the tickers and sat before the boards in the offices of their brokers watching the drop of prices that meant to many the loss of vears of saving. ! Brokers said their experience with women customers during the slump has been varied. The suddeness of the onslaught last Thursday when margins vanished in minutes and many women found themselves sold out, caused hysteria. Some even fainted. Most of those who survived the two previous blows however, appeared yesterday to have become accustomed to the ordeal. Some even smiled as they watched their fortunes fade. Many declared they were through playing the market. Four richly dressed women toured uptown brokerage offices in a party. One of them announced she had lost $15,000 and led her companions out remarking, "this place is depressing." ?jroKers saia me women were more voluble than men in discussing their losses, confiding to casual strangers what their fling in the market had cost them. Mrs. Nowell Hostess Maid And Matrons By AGNES REEKS, Secretary MACON, Oct. 24?The Maid's and Matron's Literary circle of the Woman's club met on Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Mrs. J. S. Nowell, chairman, presided over the meeting. Minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary, Agnes Reeks. The club this year is studying a course in Modem Drama, being registered with the Extension Division of the University of North Carolina. Mrs. H. L. Bass was leader of the first lesson. The general topic of the lesson was Henrik Ibsen: "TVio T casino- TTvnnrtpnf' nf t.h.? Mod- I JLXAU UVUUiiig s-t* w - ern Theatre of Ideas." The program opened with "An Appreciation of Ibsen," aji article taken from the Independent Magazine of 1906, given by Miss Thorne. The subject, "Ibsen's Place in Modern Drama," was interestingly given by Mrs. J. M. Coleman. A paper, "Ibsen As the Exponent of the fYnn^ t X W VI l light Noi is or your pleasures j or a cold drink, a presc up of coffee, know ye ,n Boyce's. nen, first, and careful to see that the doc are imeu wiui mm s no room for mistakes t are the best. ent, there is a hearty v 3, smokes, foods. hiabit of "dropping by' :e Dru| Warrenton, N.

Mrs. Bass read some interesting facts in the life of Ibsen and followed this with a resume of Ibsen's play, "Ghosts." This ended the program of the afternoon. An enjoyable social hour was spent at which time the hostess served a delicious salad course and hot coffee. Members present were Mesdames Nowell, Coleman, Russell, Bass, Person, Braswell, Riggan, R. L. Bell, and Misses Elizabeth Thorne and Agnes Reeks. Guests of the club for the afternoon were Mesdames J. E. Shaw, Kate Shaw, Fletcher Bobbitt and E. N. Moore.

This verdict could be truthfully pronounced upon Lucy Drake, for many years a servant in J the family of the late Joseph E. Drake of this county. "Aunt Lucy," as she was known by scores of both white and colored, was born in Alabama in 1847, but returned to Warren county with Mr. Drake's family. In 1873 she entered the employment of the late Henry B. Hunter Jr. and served faithfully until Mrs. Hunter's I death in 1915, and then continued to give help when she could to the family. For three years of Mrs. Hunter's illness she was a faithful J -3 niirea ana ununng ana ucvuicu uiu?. "Aunt Lucy" was devoted to her own parents in their old age.
