Jack Everett Dies
Here Last Evening
Jack Everett, 69-year-old colored
citizen, died at his home on Hyman
Street here last night at 11 o'clock
following a long period of declining
health.
He was born in Poplar Point and
farmed a greater part of his life, but
he gained prominence as a lodge
leader and funeral director. Con
ducting funerals and adding a bit of
pomp to the ceremony, Everett did
a valuable work among his people.
He handled gruesome tasks follow
ing murders, accidents and mis
fortunes. Sometimes he would re
ceive a small remuneration and fre
quently his services would go un
rewarded.
Jack Everett, while wishing for
the good things in life, really desir
ed only one thing above all others
and that was a complete and well
rounded out funeral. It is quite like
ly that his wishes will be recogniz
ed A member of four lodges or or
iitmnv the memhrrs will as
sist the Rev. Tillery in conducting
the last rites at the Cornerstone
Church on West Warren Street here
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. In
terment will follow in the Odd Fel
lows Cemetery.
Everett, polite and courteous and
accommodating. numbered his
friends among both the white and
colored population. He leaves his
wife ,the former Mittie Purvis, three J
children, Mary Dell Smith, Roberta
Latham and Jesse Everett, of Phila
delphia; two step-children, Frank
Bell, of Williamston, and Haywood
Everett, of Reading, Pa , and an
adopted child, Laura Manson. He al
so leaves two brothers, Warren Ev
erett. of Pennsylvania, and !Sam Ev
erett, of Norfolk, and two sisters, 1
Sarah and Mary Eliza Everett, both
of Pennsylvania.

A heavily-loaded freight car went
out of control on the A. C. L. tracks

much difficulty in getting the car

and a big steel cable snapped.
After working about two hours,
trainmen gof the car back on the

Peanut Farmers
Ask Parity Price
In an impromptu meeting held in
Windsor yesterday morning, peanut
farmers from this part of the State
passed resolutions urging the Con
gress to maintain parity prices for
farmers' stock peanuts. Representa
tives of the cleaners, appearing be
fore the meeting, solicited the sup
port of the farmers in calling for a
slight increase in the price ceiling
placed on peanut products. The
meeting, according to reports receiv
ed here, did not go on record as fav
oring an increase in the price ceil
ing.
Apparently some farmers are du
bious about the peanut price outlook
even though the government has
agreed to peg the price for the edi
ble nuts at 85 per cent of parity. The
parity price is right at $7.30 a hun
dred pounds, and the market price
will range around $6.20 a hundred
pounds to the farmer.
Tin- yrim-Hr>i :<nH -i^ plan tn

ceiling feature will be discussed.
