CLIPPINGS
DEATH OF MRS. KIMBALL OC
CURS FRIDAY MORNING
Mrs. Rebecca Kimball died Friday
at 11 a. m. at the home of her daugh
ter, Mrs. Ed. T. Stone in Sanford.
Mrs. Kimball had been ill for
several months with dropsy. She re
sided in Vass, but had been at the
home of her daughter for some time.
The interment took place Saturday
afternoon at 3 o’clock, the funeral be
ing conducted by Rev. Walter M. Gil
more, and the remains laid to rest in
the Jonesboro cemetery.
There is left to mourn her loss four
daughters: Mrs. Jennie Ann Hussy,
Mrs. Nannie Phipps, Mrs. E. T. Stone,
all of Sanford, and Mrs. Silla Cavi-
ness, of Georgia; four sons: Willie
Kimball, of Sanford; Elisha and JoKn
Kimball, of Vass; and James Kimball
of Rockingham; two sisters: Mrs. J.
A. Warner, of Sanford, and Mrs. Jin-
cey Godfrey, of Snow Camp, N. C.;
and two brothers: Hinson Love, of
Vass, and Pickett Love, of near Car
thage.
She was a member of* the Vass
Methodist Church' and was 63 years
of age.
TKe owner of Sweetheart Lake
writes a spirited retort to the Vass
Pilot about the piece beginning “Two
carloads of nearly naked women
drove into town Monday morning,’'
which was copied in the Daily News.
In part the lake’s owner desposes
and says: “As to whether lady
bathers should or should not wear
bathing suits that display their
limbs, I being a mere man would not
preseume to express an expert opinion
in^this matter but I will say that the
morels of the mothers & the daughters
who have visited Sweetheart Lake
are above reproach and I resent any
insinuation to the contrary.” Admira
bly. put and, we have no doubt, doing
no less than justice to the matrons
and maids aforesaid. — Greensboro
News.
LET. THE WOMEN DO THE WORK
The Vass Pilot’s correspondent at
Cameron (she must be a real wom
an!) spared not in voicing her right-
eo^us indignation when, without invi
tation and without welcome, the quiet
little town was treated to an exhibi
tion of near-nudeness by some stray
women. (Read the story for a more
lucid getting of it.)
Now, then, it seems to us Cameron
ought to know what to do. It should
forthwith hold a town convention
unanimously declare that correspon
dent mayor, clothed with power to
appoint all other town officials includ
ing policewomen. If she so desires,
let her designate instead of the cus
tomary “billies,” thick rubber pad
dles with, suitable holes to insure
blisters; let her specifically instruct
her subordinates as to how they may
administer treatments. In a word, let
her mayorship have complete control
of the peaceful village. Then let
some shameless sea-cow roam in and
learn just what the town will not
stand for, and what she will not for
quite a spell be able to sit upon.
Let the women do the work!—Har
nett County News.
THE SANDHILL FAIR OF 1922
* .
SCENE ON THE FARM OF B. B. JOHNSON NEAR VASS, I^ HOKE COUNTY
The Sandhill Fair is “entirely difl"-
erent.” It makes it’s boast that it is
a “Fair without a Midway and doesn’t
need one.”
In other words it is a Fair with
educational value and entertainment
value without the hawkers, the bally-
hoos, the fortune tellers, the hoochy-
kootchy, the fakers and the freaks
that will be found at other fairs.
It is a fair that the whole family
can attend with perfect safety, profit
by the splendid array of exhibits, be
entertained every minute with clean,
wholesome features, enjoy the best of
music, mingle with their neighbors
and go home really benefitted by a
day spent at the Sandhill Fair.
The Exhibits
Because of the abundance and the
general excellence of this year’s crops,
it is a foregone conclusion that Ex
hibit Hall will overflow with the good
things which are grown and produced
in this district.
Keen competition between the
eight or ten communities who are
holding fairs this year, assures a
wonderful showing at the Community
Booths and the unusual activities of
our Home Demonstration Agent will
result in the greatest exhibit of can
ned goods that has ever been seen
here.
Live Stock
Whether your favorite swine is
Berkshires, Poland, Chinas, Duroc
Jerseys.or any other breed, you will
see the greatest Hog Show that has
ever been seen in the South.
