Cases not heard on the day set, will have precedence on the fol lowing day. J. A. Hobbs, c. s. c In Memoriam After years of suffering, death came to Mrs. Sallie Bet Upton on the sth. day of September, 1913. In early girlhood, she had suf fered with tuberculosis of the foot and later other complications set in, and so more than two years ago, she realized that the cord which held her to earth was gradiftfiis growing less day by day. A few months stay at a sanitarium failed to check the malady, and preferreng, as she bravely said, to die among her own people, she was brought home. During all the months of suffering, no word of distrust or complaint was heard to fall from her lips. With her faith relying upon the goodness of the Father, she smiled through the hours of pain, which obring the last two weeks of her life, was intense. To her, life was a heavy burden which she patiently waited to cast off, and enter through faith the Courts of everlasting peace and joy. She was born in Williamston, September 17th. 1874, being the oldest daughter of William H. Robertson and wife, Mary A. Robertson. On July 16th. 189(5, she married Frederick Samuels Upton with whom she lived hap pily until his death on December 23rd. 1904. To them were born four children- Louise, Sylvia. Nina and James, who survive her, and who have been the ob jects of her tenderestcare through the years. She also leaves a father, two brothers and a sister, James R., L. C., and Miss Mary Robertson, and her cousin, Miss Penina Robertson, who minister ed unto heKas a mother would have done. For a number of years she had been a communi cant of the Episcopal Church and in the work of the parish was one of the most earnest and interest ed workers, aiding wherever she could the advancement of the cause. Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock, funeral services were held at her home by Rev. M. E. Bethea, and her body was borne to Oakdale Cemetery and laid beside the husband who had gone before. After the close of the committal service, Rev. J. T. Standford. pastor of the M. E. Church, ut tered the benediction. Embroidery Club The first meeting of the fall months was held with Mrs. A. R. Dunning at her home on the cor ner of Main and Haughton streets Tuesday afternoon. Every mem der save one was present, and the meeting was very enjoyable and productive of arrangements for future pleasure of the Club. Mrs. Dunning provided most hos pitable entertainment for her guests. Refreshments were ser ved before the hour for departure. The next meeting will be held with Miss Deborah Fleming on September 23rd. Fall Term Opens With an enrollment of 210 pu pils, the Williamston Graded School opened Monday morning at 8:45. Friday previous, the pupils had assembled at the school building and been assign ed rooms, desks and lessons, so on Monday the work of the term really began. The enrollment was larger than ever before on the first day, and some pupils have not yet matriculated. Thff number of papils in the different grades were as follows: Ist. Grade, Mrs. J.T. Jerome, teacher, thirty-nine; 2nd. and 3rd. Grades, Miss Nannie Biggs,teacher,fifty-eight; 4th. and sth. Grades, Mrs. W. H. Harrell, teacher, forty-two; 6th. and 7th. Grades, Miss Annie Mizell, teacher, thirty; Bth; and 9th. Grades, J. D. Howell, teacher, twenty-six; 10th. and 11th. Grades, J. T. Jerome, teacher, fifteen. The opening exercises held in the auditorium into which the pupils marched from their respective rooms. After the opening hymn. Prof. Jeromeread a part of the Ist. Chap, of the Gospel of St. John, and the entire school repeated the Lord's Pray er. Prof. R. J. Peel, Supt. of Public Instruction for Martin County, spoke a few timely words, asking the co-operation, especially of the larger pupils, in making the term one of great benefit to every pupil and in helping the teachers in their work. A song was then render ed with unusual spirit, and to the strains of music, the pupils marched out in an orderly manner to their rooms, and so the term of 1913-1914 begins with bright prospects for a successful year.
