FOUR IN ONE FAMILY GRADUATE, TWO FROM SAME INSTITUTION Mr. And Mrs. S. G. Winstead Have Doubtless Made A School Record Last fall at the opening of the University Mrs. 8. G. Winstead and family moved to Chapel Hill where Mrs. Winstead might be with her children, two entering the Univer sity and one the high school in Chapel Hill; the fourth, a son, was a student in Duke University, where he was taking a post graduate course. We doubt if there is another case record where four children in ^H^same family graduated the same ^(Kr, but such was the case of Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Winstead. Mr. Sam uel Byrd Winstead and Miss Kath erine Winstead graduated from the j University of North Carolina; Miss j Ida Winstead graduated from the Chapel Hill high school, while an , older brother, Mr. S. G. Winstead, j Jr., graduated at the Duke Univer- j sity law school. He was awarded a fellowship to Columbia Univer sity in New York City. This is a literary family, Mr. Winstead having been a school teacher, a lawyer and at present superintendent of Person Oounty schools; while Mrs. Winstead taught school for some time and is recog nized as a writer of rare ability. - ? ? ? . ** Miss Gentry Honored At Baptist Hospital Miss Gentry has been enrolled in the training school for nurses at the Baptist Hospital .three years.

Mr. Curtis had been Suffering from heart disease for some time and his condition had been serious for the past week. The veteran publisher, a native of Portland, Maine, started his ca reer as a youth of 19 as a salesman for $10 a week in a Boston store, turning later to advertising and finally to publishing.

Following the adjournment of Congress It is understood the administration will move promptly to put Democrats in many federal positions now held by Republicans. Now that Guy T. Helve ring has been confirmed by the senate as commissioner of in ternal revenue a number of collec tors of internal revenue will be named. C. H. Robertson will be appointed collector in the North Carolina division. C. L. Shuplng has the refusal, it is understood, of the position here of assiistant commissioner of inter nal revenue. Chairman Farley would doubtless be very glad to give the Greensboro man his sup port. It is also true, no doubt, that Senator Bailey would be pleased to indorse Mr. Shuplng for this posi tion, or for district attorney in the middle dstrict; but Mr. Shuplng apparently, does not aspire to a federal position. It is expected that Ford S. Wor thy will have the support of Sena tor Bailey for the position of mar shal of the eastern district. Mr. Wor thy is a druggist, of Washington, N. C. o Co. Commissioners In Session Monday The board of County commission ers met in regular session Monday, and when we enquired of the clerk, Mr. W. T. Kirby, if other than rou tine business was transacted, he re plied that "they did not even at tend to routine btatnenw, as they had no money with which to pay bills." All members of the board were present. o Hie largest state east of the Mis sippi is Georgia . HOTEL MS UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT Mr. E. G. Long, Popular Bank er, Will Become Manager ? J Tomorrow Mr. Moe Goodman, who has been in charge of Hotel Shirley for the past ten months, will vacate tomor row and Mr. E. Q. Long will move in. When Mr. Goodman took charge he changed the name of the hotel to Hotel Shirley, but Mr. Long will run it under the old name, Hotel ! Jones. The people of the town and County will appreciate this change, for it was built by Mr. Moses Jones, when the town was badly in need of a new hotel building, and it is becoming that his name should be at the masthead. Nothing means as much to a town as a good hotel, and this is assured with Mr. Long as proprietor; he is a native of Roxboro, born and rear' i ed here, known by every man, wo man and child and is very popular with all. The citizens will get be- j hind him in this move and we ex pect to see Hotel Jones take its ' stand among the best hotels in the State. i ?

LONG RETIRES FROM PEOPLES BANK I Resigns After Almost Thirty; Years' Service To This Institution TO OPERATE HOTEL HERE To the Citizens of Roxboro and Person County: I am today retiring from serving the Peoples Bank and its patrons af ter almost thirty years of continu ous service with and to this bank and its customers in order to enter into a business which I hope to make profitable to myself and bene ficial to the town and County. My work with the bank has brought me in contact with Person County citi zens from all walks of life and these contacts have taught me the fundamental integrity, mertt and loyalty of our people. Naturally retirement from the service of an institution after so many years de nted to it brings much sadness, j Let me bespeak for it the continued loyalty of you people in the reor- ! ganization days that are necessarily before the bank. Let me bespeak for it even your sacrifice, for I feel that on the reorganization of this institution which has so long served all the people of the County depends to a great measure our recovery from the economic distress which has come upon us and a return to the prosperity to which we formerly ' were accustomed. Faithfully yours, E. Q. Long. " A 7,557 PRISONERS IN NORTH STATE Two-Thirds Of Convicts Are In County Highway Camps Raleigh, June 6. ?
