UP AND DOWN Ghe Avenue WITH THE EDIVOR (Continued from page one) dogs must be taken up and kept up. Starting Monday morning, offi cers will have instructions to pick up all dogs running at liberty on the streets and it will be necessary to pay a fee before they will be released. This ruling applies to all dags regardless of whether a license has been bought for them, and even tho they have been innoculated. About 20 women folks here have each bought a book. They read their choice and pass it on so in the next 20 weeks, each will have read 20 books. Then the books will be placed in the Woman’s Club Library. We are reading all we can get our hands on and wishing we had the nerve to write our opinion to put in the envelope pasted inside each cover*—but we dassent, because maybe we are not supposed to read them. AT DARLINGTON There wlil be an oyster and chicken supper at the Darlington School House on Friday night, December 1st, for the benefit of the Darlington Woman’s Club. There will also be a music pro gram, stunts, games, etc., free. Everybody is invited to attend. Juniors Meet Here (Continued from page one) and there were about 65 in attend ance at this meeting. The supper was held in the show rooms of the Nash Motor Co., and was attended by over 200 Jun iors, friends and boosters of the local organization. Barbecue and Brunswick Stew were served, and music was furnished by a local string band. Other program fea tures had been planned, but were not carried out, because of delay. After the supper, the Juniors met at their hall for a class initi ation. Julian R. Allsbrook, local attorney, gave the address of wel come at the evening session, and there were various other speeches on the program. Members of the Henderson degree team officiated at the initiation by special invi tation. Marvin Anderton, financial sec retary of the local order gave the address of welcome at the after noon session. Slayer Hearing (Continued from page one) Kelly Jenkins. It is alleged that Gurganus at tacked Jones with a razor, inflict :ng wounds that caused his death 3-hours later in a local hospital, growing out of a quarrel in which Jones refused Gurganus, who was a boarded in the Jones home, the loan of twenty-five cents. Gurganus also suffered wounds inflicted about the wrist with a razor during the altercation, and he was removed from Roanoke Rapids Hospital to the county jail Monday to await his hearing. It is not known at this time what plea the boy, who is a native of Green ville, N. C., will make. Jones, mortally wounded, bled profusely and died at the Hospital last Thursday night shortly after being taken there. Funeral ser vices were held the first of the week. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. J. R. Jones, two daughters and a 13-year-old son, all of Roa noke Rapids. The case has aroused unusual interest, because of the apparent brutalness of the slaying. Fear Foul Play (Continued from page one) fort to drive home, but perhaps through excruciating pain or blindness resulting from the in jury of his eye, had given up the struggle. Lapsing into consciousness ior i a few moments Thursday, his cous in asked him what happened, to which the injured man replied: “Everything’ alright. I brought the truck home, didn’t I?” Nothing else has occurred that would shed any light on the mystery. The road on which he was found is little-travelled, and it is pos sible that Jones, who found him, was the first car along for sev eral hours. The wounds about his head and face were evidently in flicted with a blunt instrument. There was no evidence of an auto mobile wreck. Fayed has lived in Roanoke Rap ids for ten-years. He has a wife and family here. He first leaped into newspaper prominence here when he was the driver of the death car that accidentaly ran over and killed little Billy Elting, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Elting, on the afternoon of Saturday, Sept. 9th. Fayed is a Syrian. Charged with participation in the robbery of a bank in Parsons, Kans., Thomas Bradshaw was ac quitted by a jury which heard his wife testify he was in Stillwell, Okla., proposing marriage to her the day the bank was held up.

The bride is the charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Thompson of this city, and Mr. Todd is well known here. MRS. COBURN HOSTESS Mrs. F. M. Coburn was hostess at her home on Roanoke Ave., Thursday evening, November 16, honoring her mother, Mrs. Powell, with a surprise birthday party. The whole lower flcor of the spa cious home was decorated in aut umn flowers. Several piano selec tions were rendered by Mrs. Webb of Richmond, Va., followed by con tests and bridge.

A petition in his behalf was signed by representa tive citizens from all parts of the county. The unexpired term runs until January, 1935. Mr. Gregory took charge of the office at once, re taining the same office force. He immediately resigned from the office of deputy revenue col lector for Halifax County. His successor to that office has not yet been named. Matthews Back (Continued from page one) arrived with his prisoner Satur day, after an uneventful trip a cross the continent. Gray and Matthews left Los Angeles Monday night, November 13th at 6:20, making the first lap of the trip to New Orleans, where Gray rested Thursday. The first lap of the journey consumed all of two days and three nights, and Gray did not go to sleep during this time. After resting in the Louisiana city Thursday, Gray re sumed the trip home with his prisoner, resting again at Atlanta, and arriving in Halifax County Saturday morning. Matthews had little comment to make on the return trip, ac cording to the guard. Although Grey knew him well at the time he lived here, he seemed to be little interested in what had intervened during his absence, and was not interested in the trip home. Reports that his second wife is in Weldon awaiting outcome of her husband’s trial are unverified. He has had many visitors from Roanoke Rapids this week. Finish Sewer System (Continued from page one) eussion regarding the $1.00 charge made for re-connecting water ser vice where the bill had not been paid by the 15th of the month. This charge is made to save the citizens and taxpayers the expense of having to employ a collector and of having to borrow money to car ry on the business of furnishing service when bills are not paid promptly.

Firkan of Buffalo in his divorce suit described his wife as “mutton dressed up as lamb.” Miss Ellen Watson of Chicago screamed for two days in her cell without cessation when convicted of shoplifting.
