Whit Bell in Norfolk last week where he had been some time sick in the hospital. Bro. Bell was one of the oldest. citizens of, Scotland -fcr i i T i a . Neck, born Nov. 14. 1840. When the civil war came along Bro. Bell was one of the first to volunteer, joining Co. B. First N. C. Cal. under Stuart. He was'a brave soldier and was wounded at Brandy Station He was a member of Buck Kitchin Camp Confederate Veterans. Nov i4th lcb(i he was married to Mks Annie Elizabeth Whitmore who wa a faithful and loving companion to him to the day of his death. To this union were born six children, three of which died in infancy, and three with his wife survive him Bro. Bell was converted in 1876 in the meeting which C. Durham held here when many of the most prom nent people were converted and united with 4:he Baptist Church. He was a faithful and consistent mem ber of the church until the day ot his death. He was a auiet and modest man, belonging to the Old Guard of the Church and he will be greatly missed by his friends and brethren. In his last days he was a great sufferer and our hearts are comforted with the thought that all of this is over. Our hearts cro out to the loved ones in their bereave ment lie is survived by his widow and three children, G. Lloyd Bell, of Suffolk, Va., J. Leonard Bell and Mrs. Hattie Branch, of Norfolk. He was buried at the Episcopal Ceme tery Wednesday evening August 28, Scotland Neck. The pall bearers were G. K. Moore, J. M. Tillery, Julian Pendle ton, Chas. Speed, E. T. Whitehead, G. W. Bryan, J. A. Pittman, and W. T T His Pastor. Rosemary Items. Rosemary, August 2S. At the Methodist parsonage, Roanoke Ra pids; last Sunday evening at 3 o'clock August 25 by Rev. Wm. Towe, John N. Harris and Mies Myrtle Edwards were united in the bonds of holy wedlock when the preacher pro nounced them man and wife. Their relative? and friends wish them a long and happy life together. The new Patterson Mill has not run more than half the time for some time, as the power is very much limited on account of the long spell of dry weather. There have been a few cases of scarlet and typhoid fever as well as other diseases in this village for the past few weeks. We earnestly hope and pray for the refreshing showers of blescings sent from the Saviour above; and that everything may move on pros perously and smoothly very soon. In the Patterson Mill Village August 27th 1912 at 9:25 p. m. Mr. Thomas Gray fall asleep to awake in the presence of,, his maker. We trust that he is asleep in Jesus, for his testimony in his last hours en courages us to believe that he is saved, though he had not made any previous professien of religion. Those who have kno vvn him for many yrars speak well of him as a good moral 3Toung man. He was about nineteen years old and a youth of much ability, yet it pleased Almighty God to send the great scalping angel of d.-ath and cut him down. He leaves a mother and sevpral broth ers and sisters to mourn hrs loss. May the great healing hand of our Father in Heauen lift and remove every burden from the hearts of these sorrowing ones is our prayer. Farmers Union NctSee. We are requested to announce that the next county meeting will be held at rlalifax Tuesday, Septem ber 17th, in commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the organiza tion of the first Farmers Union. There will be a number of speeches, among which wiil be Dr. II. A. Alexander, ot iuattnews, in. .m Hon. W. C. Crosby, of Charlotte, Messrs. H. S. Harrison, A. E. Car ter, Geo. m. Bennett, J. R. Liles. and others. Every Union man in the county is expected to be present. Paint-Wise is to paint when your property needs it. Paint foolish to wait for the price to go down. But so many are foolish, they'll wait a good while. The whole rise in the cost of a job is 10 per cent. The first year's drop won't be more than half that, more likely a quarteo. Waiting for 5 per cent, more like ly 2. The average job (with Devoe) is $50; per cent, $2.50. Flit it off for $2.50? Guess not. You think of that job as $100. So it is with inferior paint. Paint Devoe; do it now, if your property needs it. Devoe. E. T. Whitehead Co. sell it. CGULO NOHLEEP M6HTS SUFFERER FROM SKIN TROUBLE TELLS HOW HE FOUND RELIEF IN SAXO SALVE.
