I CASH PRIZES OF >405 MAILED TO MILL EMPLOYEES . ____ Awards Made By F. C. Williams In Annual Improvement Contest Announcement is made this week of the winners in the annual Gar den Contest sponsored by F. C. Williams, Vice-president and gen eral manager of the Roanoke and Patterson Mills Companies, and recipients of the various awards will receive their checks today. Interest in the contest runs high every year as residents of the three mill villages exert themselves to improve the general appearance of their yards, flower and vegetable gardens.

IN MEMORIAM In sad and loving memory of our dear daddy, W. G. Gibson, who died fivj months ago. Sad and sudden was the call Of one so dearly loved by all. Your memory is as sweet today As in the hour you passed away. We often sit and think of you, And think of how you died; To think you could not say good bye, Before you closed your eyes. The blow was hard, the chock severe We never thought death was so near But only those who have lost can tell The pain of parting without fare well. ■--' God knew your load was heavy Though you never did complain So He took you home to Heaven Where there is no grief or pain. We little thought when he left home That he never would return And that he so soon in death would sleep And leave us here to mourn. Mrs. W. G. Gibson and Children Little Gerald Tudor is spending some time with his aunt, Mrs. Ma mie Strickland, in Erwin. Alice and Gracie Beale are spend ing the week in Richmond, Va., with their uncle, Charlie Beale and daughters, Elizabeth and Elsie.
