PATTIE AVENT I often sit and think of you, When I am all alone; For memory is the only friend That grief can call its own. More and more each day I miss you Friends may think the wound is healed, But little they know of the sorrow That within my heart’s concealed I Beneath my eyes you fade slowly, Growing day by day more frail, Bearing sweetly all suffering Without murmur, moan or wail. | You are sleeping, dearest mother, Where the golden waters flow; And I know thait you are happy In your everlasting home in Heaven. 1 Sadly missed by your devoted daughter, Mrs. Van Carter. THE AMERICA* CUP At Gosport, England, was re cently launched a new racing yacht, the Velsheda, which is ex pected to compete for the famous America’s Cup, won first on Aug ust 22, 1851, when the America defeated the English Aurora, and kept on this side of the Atlantic ever since. This original contest for the coveter trophy was a single rac«, as was the second in 1870 when the American Magic defeated the English Cambria. Since then the contests have been decided by the best two out of three races, or the best three out of five. To date 13 British challengers have tried unsuccessfully to wrest the cup from American yatchmen, of which the last five were owned by the late Sir Thomas Lipton, who made his last attempt in 1930, when his Shamrock V was defeated by the American yacht Enterprise. He had promised to try a sixth time, but death intervened. Sir Thomas was greatly admired by the American people, and short ly after his last defeat he was in vited to return to New York to receive a “consolation cup” as a token of appreciation of his fine sportsmanship. He was affection ately known as “the world’s best loser.” IN MEMORIAM GEORGE IRA ROBINSON In loving memory of my dear husband, Mr. George Ira Robin son, who departed this life one month ago, April 5, 1933. God called him home. It was His will. But in my heart, I love him still. This memory is as dear today, as in the hour he passed away. Mrs. Lillian Robinson.

Co AT CHICAGO WORLD’S FAIR The carillon tower of the Hall of Science rises 176 feet above the spacious courtyard, making for one of the most impressive structures of The Century of Progress World’s Fair at Chicago. Keg Of Draught Beer “Blows Up” At Restaurant! All was quiet on the South ward front Saturday afternoon. Most everyone was at the ball game (or whatever other kind of game might have interested them) when all at once an explosion sounded in the Rosemary Cafe, bringing forth a mass of people from out of thin air. Perhaps the interest ed ones thought it was the Japs descending on the Carolina coast and concentrating their air corps attack on the uptown business section, or maybe the peace treaty abroad had turned out to be a “free-for all.” It couldn’t have been Shearin I returning from his capture of Richmond, or the Soldiers on par ade . . . maybe it was an echo of the super film, “Hell Below” play ing at the Imperial. Someone mentioned an auto crash while others were inclined to believe that J. Wellington Wim py had consumed too many ham burgers, or that someone had dis covered chicken in chicken salad. At any rate, the noise had dis covered the calm and serene air of a mid-summer Saturday afternoon in Roanoke Rapids . . . whatever the disaster, it had unmistakably happened in the restaurant, and investigators discovered that a keg of 3.2 beer had exploded with disastrous results to the keg, to the ceiling, a stack of dishes on top of the cabinet in which the brew is kept, and to the peace of mind of George and Gus, Greek proprietors. Draught beer was still in its experimental stages at the res taurant, the first keg having been put on tap only a few days before. Saturday afternoon’s cat astrophe was due to a defective valve in the plumbing arrangement, and the compressed air was too much for the weak valve. Taking their loss good naturedly, and hur riedly repairing the damage done by the explosion, George and Gus were soon ready for business a gain. It was the first “explosion” of the new beverage on record in Roanoke Rapids. After being given a 3-year sen tence for kidnaping his wife, Geo. G. Brown of Leeds, Eng., kidnaped her again. Arrested for intoxication, Rich ard Phillips of Chicago, admitted that he had stolen communion wine from a church. ; NOTICE 1 —TO— 1 PROPERTY OWNERS 1 I —OF— I HALIFAX COUNTY For the purpose of hearing complaints as to the tax valuations of property, the Board of County Com missioners will meet as a Board of Equalization and Review in Halifax, at the Court House, on the third Monday in June (June 19th) at 10 o’clock A.

This notice is published in compliance with sec tion 523, Public Laws 1929. i This 6th day of June, 1933. C. S. VINSON, Tax Supervisor Efforts To Raise Prices Is Of Great Benefit To Farmers The Government’s effort to raise commodity prices and to improve the farmer’s position with respect to the cost of things he has to buy is apparently yielding far reaching results throughout the South. Careful review of reports appearing in newspapers from the entire cotton belt indicate a more optimistic feeling and a correspond ingly larger volume of business than has been noted in several years. An outstanding example of the improvement in farm purchasing power is revealed in the action taken by the Chilean nitrate pro ducers last fall, reducing the price of the natural nitrate to corres pond with the level of cotton prices at that time. Current prices quot ed by local dealers show that soda is selling about 33 1-3 per cent under last season’s prices, while cotton has advanced nearly 80 per cent. Measured in terms of these two commodities, therefore, farm buying power is fully double that of last year; one pound of cotton now will buy more than twice as much Chilean soda as it bought last year. Looking ahead to next year, with its bright prospects for still high er cotton prices, fanners generally seem to be alert to the unprece dented opportunity open to them in this advantageous exchange of soda for cotton, and dealers re port a real old time side-dressing demand for cotton and com. -— "”*} Marco Mougno of Los Angeles, claims to have eaten 138 miles of spaghetti in one day.
