The game was played yesterday with Oak Ridge. -—-o A subscriber to Tha Heralu, receiving a recent notice that his sub scription had expired, sent us the following appreciative appeal: APPRECIATED HIS PAPER Don’t stop my paper, printer; Don’t strike my name off yet; You know the times are stringent And dollars are hard to get; But tug a little harder Is what I mean to do, And scrape the dimes together—Enough for me and you. 1 can’t afford to drop it, And find it doesn’t pay To do without a paper, However others may; I hate to ask my neighbors To give me theirs on loan; They don’t just say, but mean it, “Why don’t you have your own?” You can tell how we miss it, If it, by any fate, Should happen not to reach us, Or come a little late; Then all is in a hubbub And things go all awry; And, printer, if you’re married, You’ll know the reason why. The children want those stories, And wife is anxidus, too, At first to glance it over And then to read it through; And I read the editorials And scan the local items, And read the correspondence And every bit of news. -o MEATMARKET and grocery store will move in on the Avenue at the location formerly occupied by the Harrison Drug Co. The new store will be operated by George Pappendick, well known grocer and meat expert. The building is now* being renovated and shelves are being built for the new enterprise. Other details of the opening will be made later in this newspaper. (Continued on Page Four) ROSEMARY SPINNERS CITY CHAMPS First Row (sitting): C.

Boone, pastor of the Rosemary Methodist Church, was robbed of $143 in cash when that amount was taken from a drawer in his desk at his home on the corner of 8th and Jackson Street last night or early this morning. The money belonged to the church and was in coin and cur rency under a batch of papers. Nothing else in the desk was dis turbed nor was there any evidence of any attempt made to go into any other part ot the house than the small study on the West side of the house. The money had been there for several weeks but Mr. Boone told officers this morn ing nobody knew of it being in the house. He says he went to bed about 10 last night and the study win dow was shut and supposedly locked. This morning he noticed the window open and the screen swinging from the top. A hole had been cut in the screen near the latch with a blunt instrument like a screw driver. Police examined the window and the ground outside. The window is several feet from the ground and there was no evidence outside on the ground of footprints or of a box or ladder which might have been used to effect entrance. Nor were there any footprints on the side of the house or fingerprints or smudges on the window sill, ordinarily expected where en trance is effected by climbing thru a high window and under a top-swinging screen. Police were mystified at the lack of the ordinary clues. They do not attribute it to the intruder who broke in several houses here some time ago as it was aupther type of job. INFANT TWINS DIE Infant twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. Jessie Merritt, 907 Vance St. died Sunday after living three days. A few hours separated the deaths. Funeral services were held Tuesday with interment in Roanoke Rapids Cemetery.
