NONSENSE
By Wilborne Harrell
OUR LITTLE GIRL
To that gorgeous little goddess,
Shirley Temple, America’s youngest
sweetheart and Filmland’s littlest
star:
I have a secret for you, dear Shirley,
You with your head so curly
And your eyes so twinkly
And your nose so crinkly,
And those little tapping toes,
How they patter, goodness knows;
And those dimples, in each rosy cheek
With your sunny smile that plays
hide and seek—
A wonderful secret for your very,
very own that mustn’t be told,
So don’t you tell a single solitary
soul:
Most everybody in the whole, wide
world
Wants you to be their little girl.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
A bit of heaven is what you are.
GRAND-DAD
To my grandfather, F. W. Curran,
venerable patriarch of the soil and
staunch bulwark of the faith of his
fathers, on the occasion of his 82nd
birthday:
His face is seamed by the hand of
time
Where the wind and the rain have
taken their toll;
His eyes look forth from a soul sub
lime,
Ripe in years, yet unbowed nor old.
On his brow serene from the plow
of God
Furrows and etchings abound—
Even as he in his field turned the sod
and furrowed and etched the ground.
Fortunes aren’t won in easy chairs,
Too much rocking ne’er made mil
lionaires.
Terrible Roads In Bertie
Hindrance To Funeral
Funeral services were held Satur
. day afternoon for Mrs. Margaret
/ Miller, 58, who died Friday night at
her home in the Mars Hill section
of Bertie County. Mrs. Miller, who
was in . her usual health, died in
about 30 minutes following a heart
attack. Services were held in the
Mars Hill Baptist Church, and were
in charge of Rev. Mr. Mustin, the
pastor. Interment took place in the
family burying ground.
The deceased is survived by her
husband and one daughter, Miss
Elsie Miller, who is assistant post
mistress at the Colerain postoffice.
A regretful occurrence in connec
tion with the funeral of Mrs. Miller
is the fact that the dirt roads in
Eastern Bertie County are in such a
deplorable state that the undertaker
was obliged to use a mule and cart
to convey the body to the church,
and those who attended the funeral
were forced to use the same means
for transportation. The Edenton un
dertaker was forced to cross the
Chowan River by boat and resort to
a mule and cart upon arrival on the
Bertie side.
A TRIBUTE
On the morning of February 17th,
the anniversary of his mother’s wed
ding day, Thomas Davis Warren
passed into the confines of that spir
itual world “from whose bourne no
traveler returns.”
Mr. Warren was the son of William
Young and Frances Rouhac Warren
and he grew up at “Beechwood,”
family home about a mile from Eden
tcn. After the completion of his
course at the University of North
Carolina, and his marriage in June
1904 to Miss Mary Agnes Stevenson,
of Kinston, Mr. Warren practiced
law with his younger brother, Julien
Warren in Trenton, for a short while
and eventually moved to New Bern,
that old town rich in antiquity and
, geographic beauty, where he purchas
ed the old gray home on Pollock
Street and became actively engaged
in law and politics until the failure
of his health about two years ago.
For eight years as chairman of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee he guided the policies of his par
ty and during the World War he
was appointed United States District
Attorney by President Wilson.
......-Here lying wrapped in the majes
tic sleep of death in his flower
crowned and beautiful home, friends
and relatives gathered from far and
wide to do him honor with loving
sympathy and blossoms symbolizing
immortality. The burial service was
held in Christ Church, where his old
rector, Dr. Huske, assisted by the
present rector, Mr. Williams, offici
ated.
As we review the record of the
past our hearts will bear testimony
to the worth of hia character and
the value of his achievements.

Colerain Bottled Up
By Impassable Roads
The roads in Bertie County are in
worse condition than can be remem
bered by the older residents. Infor
mation from The Herald’s Colerain
correspondent is to the effect that
practically the only means of trans
portation the Colerain people have is
by using a flat across the Chowan
River into Chowan County.
