Alls brook, on June 11, 1912, and took from them their precious daughter, Mrs. Etta O. Purvis, whom they all loved so dearly. Mrs. Purvis was born September 2, 1869, making her stay here forty-two years, nine months and nine days. On' June 26, 1896, she was married to Mr. John A. Purvis, living together lovingly and happily until he received death's summons. She leaves a mother, father, three sisters, Mrs. C. H. Bell, Portsmouth, Va., Mrs. Wiley Cherry, Mrs. Walter Cherry, of Leggetts, and four broth ers, Solicitor R.. G. Allsbrook, of Tarboro, Messrs. B. I. Allsbrook, Jr., David N. Allsbrook, Norfolk, Va., Sherwood Allsbrook, Scotland Neck, and scores of friends and rel atives to mourn her loss. The funeral services were conduct ed by Elder W. B. Strickland. Mr Strickland had nothing but praise and thanksgiving to offer God for the beautiful life she had lived here with us. The choir sang at the burial "Abide With Me" and "How Firm a Foundation." Mrs. rurvis was a nne and very sweet woman. She was loved by ail who knew her. She was always willing to help any one. She believ ed in doing things. She was a splen did teacher, a fine instructor. Her many friends will never forget her While we hated to give her up, we feel that our loss is her eternal gain. We feel like we have done our part All was done for her that loving pa rents, kind friends and physicians could do, but none could stay the hand of death. God must have loved her better than we; but we must bow in submission to our heavenly Father's will, when He in His om niscience calls us to come up higher. We are told in the great Book of books that "All things work togeth er for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to the purpose of God." Rom. 8:28. Mrs. Purvis was a woman with a mission. This mission was backed by an ambition to uplift all with whom she came in contact. She lived a beautiful life, a life that would be a credit to any man or woman. She never joined any church, but she was faithful in attending when her health permitted. She wa3 faithful in all duties that came before her. She was faithful to the end. She always showed her faith by her good works. Works without faith availeth noth ing, but we are so thanKtul that she was possessed of both. We feel con fident that she has gone where sick ness, sorrow, pain and death are felt no more. While we hated to give her up, we felt That the will of God is sublime; He is forever good and very kind. He never is before time, And He is never behind. A Friend. ROSENEATH SCHOOL CLOSES. Wind Storm. Our section was visited by a se vere wind storm Tuesday afternoon about six o'clock. Considerable damage was done to the telephones, putting about sixty in town out of commission, besides cutting off all outside communication. The Scot land Neck Cotton Mill suffered some damage for a part of the roof was torn up and it took a force of hands part of the night to clean th ma chines and repair the damage. We understand a very heavy rain fell between here and Spring Hill and on down the river. Some hail fell but not enough to do very much harm. The rain in Scotland Neck very light- was A Pleasant Party. There was a delightful party given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. N. R .losev Monday evening, June 17th, in honor of Miss Elizabeth Brewer, of Danville, Va. That popular game, rjroeressive rook , was engaged in, and Mr. S. A. Dunn was the win ner of the prize, which was present ed by Miss Sallie May Josey. After the games were over de licious refreshments were served, and then Miss Brewer charmed the crnpsts bv olaying several selections on the violin with piano accompani ment by Miss Louise utrell and Mr. Josey. The guests departed at about 11:30 clock declaring the occasion the most pleasant of the season. Thnsp nresent were: Misses Jose phine Tillery, Louise Futrell, Olivia Lawrence, Estelle House, Elizabeth Brewer, Sallie May, Annie, Lydia and Mrs. Josey, Messrs. b. A.uunn, David Bryant.

Never in our modern history have we witnessed or experienced a more delightful time than we did on Fri day, June 14, 1912, at Miss Kate Joyner's school. We were invited to attend the closing exercises of her school, and in spite of the rain had the best time that an entertain ing teacher could give. Miss Joy ner has the cultured ability to make everything just as pleasant and en tertaining as possible. We think that she made every friend proud of his or her attendance at the pic-nic. We will never forget the kind en tertainment she gave us. There was a fine attendance, Hali fax, Edgecombe and Martin coun ties being well represented, especial ly Halifax. Nothing but pleasure was on the minds of any. Just about 12 o'clock Mr. Bob Joyner, a former teacher of some of the attendants, made a fine speech as an introductory of Mr. Ashby Dunn, the speaker of the hour. Mr. Dunn rose to his feet with as much grace and dignity as the great im mortal Vance, and gave thanks to Mr. Joyner for the kind words he had spoken in his behalf. Mr. Dunn spoke on the great theme of Educa tion with much force and effect. He held the closest attention of his audience for about fifty minutes. We are bound to give Mr. Dunn the praise as one of the best, speakers we have ever had at our pic-nics. After we were through with the hearty congratulations to the speak er, we began to realize that some of the fairer sex had seen fit to bring along with them some of the dainties and luxuries of life, which we were proud to take an active part in their consumption. While there were scores of people there that were so hungry at the irregular hour for dinner, it was almost impossible for them to govern their manly training until we could have a blessing from our friend, Mr. Bob Joyner. After dinner we called together the members of the Deep Creek band, who rendered many beautiful selections. Songs and playing were the pleasures of the afternoon. Misses Lizzie Pittman and Kate Bovette, Messrs. Julian A. Pittman. R. L. Joyner, Ashby Dunn and Chas. L. Staton were the attendants from Scotland Neck. Everybody reported a fine time indeed. Chas. L.
