Editor Roanoke Rapids Herald,
Roanoke Rapids, N. C.,
Dear Editor:
Please publish the following:
This is to inform my many friends
from whom I have received letters
stating that they would support me
for the office of Sheriff of Halifax
County, that, realizing the time it
lakes to get around and see the good
people of our county and since I
will not have time because my work
keeps me away from home, I will not
be a candidate. I appreciate the sup
port of these good people more than
words can express.
I earnestly urge the good people of
Halifax County to vote the straight
Democratic ticket from Township
Constable t<> President.

IN M KM OKI AM
Dedicated to a willing worker, Rev.
B. J. Beale, who departed this life
April 8, 10-12, by A. M. Riddick.
When we think of our last week’s
service
And of those who with us met
^e can meditate over lots was said
And will never, no, never forget.
A dear willing worker who on Tues
day last
Our fellowship did share
W ho often visited in our homes
And so often offered prayer.
A few words of consolation
For our wounded hearts conceal
Many, many memories
Of our beloved brother Beale.
There were many hours of toiling
And with very little rest
He would go and work for others
And always do his best.
To carry forth the gospel
W or king daily at his trade
Bearing many, many burdens
i rusted God—was not afraid.
And let us all as willing workers
Fnite in one strong and loving band
Consecrate to God our service
That we may meet him in a better
land.
Lloyd Allen of Graham was a visit*
oi here over the week-end.
