Merry Hill Resident
Pays Tribute To John
. T. Keeter, Deceased
By S. A. ADAMS
Once again death has made its in
roads in our community and taken
from our ranks a good citizen and
one of the most loyal and consecrated
members of our church. In the pass
ing of John T. Keeter on Saturday
night, November 14, 1942, a valiant
; never tiring sold er of the cross lay
down his weapons of warfare. He
had successfully engaged and fought
1 the enemy of the souls of men t>.i
l 68 years.
j He was born February 19, 1857, at
Merry Hill, at or near which he*made
I his home all of his life. At the age
' j of 17 he was converted and was bap
'' tized by the Rev. Joe White and
1 joined Capehart’s Baptist Church. He
later moved his membership to Law
rence Church. At the time of the or
ganization of the Merry Hill Church
he un'ted with that body, which he
served loyally until the time of his
death.
On March 19, 1878, he was married
to Annie Hughes, of Windsor. She
passed away November 24, 1909.
Eleven children born to this union
I survive him, forty-three grandchil- j
! dren and eighteen great-grandchil- ;
• dren.
He was devoted to his county, be- 1
lieved in its princip.es of government
and championed its cause at opportune
times. He served his county and
state as a justice of the peace thirty
consecutive yesrs. He was highly
respected and ioved as a neighbor,
•being kind and considerate of his
fellow man. As regards his devo
tion and loyalty to his church it may
truthfully be said that its program
, and its cause occupied first place in
his life. He was the oldest member
in his church. It may be well sa : -l
to his honor that across the years
of his sojourn, he was fervent in j
. I spirit always abounding in .the work
’ j-of the Lord. He was endowed with
a wonderful memory, a gift which is
worthy to be counted. His memory
was clear and his mind alert until a
I j short time before the end came.
The writer doubts if he has known
I I a layman or perhaps but few minis- \
ters who were able to quote the j
Scriptures more readily and more ac
i curately than he. He read the Bible
1 j much and meditated upc »> its teach- !
ing, having sought a conect inter
pretation and application to life and
conduct.
As a Sunday School teacher he
was a prince. By reason of his
knowledge of the Scripture, seeking
as he did the guidance and leader
ship of the Spirit, he was a master
teacher, to read, study and teach and
expound the Scripture seemed to be
the joy of his life. He was a man of
, prayer, which doubtless accounted in
a great measure for his ability and
; power as a layman and teacher.
For more than a third of a cen-
I tury the writer has been associated
j with him in the work of the King
dom. It has been pleasant and pro
j fitable to share his fr'endship, his
i wholesome influence and inspiring ex-J
ample through the years. He keenly!
J feels his loss, and so does the great j
! host of people who knew him. While ;
we grieve for the friend we have lost, I
we also rejoice for the friend who be
lieved that the Christian way of love!
can give value to the activities of his j
life.
May the bereaved family have the!
joy and consolation of knowing that |
they have the love and prayerful
■ sympathy of his and their friends, and
: hope that his mantle of righteousness
j may fall upon each of them, enriching
their lives with the richest of all be-;
quests.

Recruiting Cruisers, which was parked in the business section Fri
day afternoon and Saturday. The purpose of the visit was to secure
enlistments of 17-year-old boys and men over 38 years of age who
desired to enlist in the Navy. The Cruiser took on all the aspects

OPA dRDERS iNVKTIGATION ILLEGAL
CHARGE BEING MADE FOR PAPER CUPS
j Charge of Penny Illegal
I Unless In Force Be
fore March, 1942
The Office of Price Administration
has ordered an immediate investiga
tion of the practice of making an ex
tra charge for paper cups in which
j soft drinks and refreshments are
I served, it was disclosed in a letter
from Donald H. Wallace, Director of
Industrial Manufacturers’ Price Divi
sion, by Dr. Ca.<: V. Reynolds, North
'Carolina State Health Officer.
| In the meantime, Dr. Reynolds was
i requested to bring further complaints
j against this practice to the attention
, of Norman C. Shepherd, State At
! torney in North Carolina for the
( OPA, whose home address is 227 East
Edenton Street, Raleigh. Already,
j the names of many alleged violators
, have been forwarded to the OPA, to
. gether w : th the names of informants
sent to Dr. Reynolds during the past
several months.
On August 2, Dr. Reynolds was in
formed by Mr. Wallace, the OPA
warned sellers of beverages in paper
cups to discontinue this practice,
which has been ruled illegal, unless
it can he shown that the charges were
in force as early as March, 1942.
j “We are not interested in the en
| forcement of ceiling regulations,” Dr.
j Reynolds pointed out, “but we are
I tremendously, interested in preventing
I the spread of contagious diseases by
) means of the ‘common cup’ and we
j realize that when an extra charge is j
! made for refreshments served in
I paper containers, this has a tendency:
jto discourage their use. Thus, a I
penalty is placed on sanitation, and |
this practice ought to be stopped. I
“Pursuant to the request made by j
the OPA, com plaints will be forward-!
ed to Mr. e bepherd. Better still,
those who know of v olations mav
(mail the information to him direct.]
Where it is known that these extra j
charges were levied after March this
information should be furnished.”

Backache
May Warn of Disordered
Kidney Action
Modern life with its hurry and worry,
j irregular habits, improper eating and
drinking—its risk of exposure and infec
tion—throws heavy strain on the work
of the kidneys. They are apt to become
V over-taxed and fail to filter excess acid
and other impurities from the life-giving
blood.
You may suffer nagging backach**,
headache, dizziness, getting up nights,
leg pains, swelling—feel constantly
tired, nervous, *ll worn out. Other signs
of kidney or bladder disorder are some
times burning, scanty or too frequent
urination.
Try Doan's Pills. Doan’s help the
kidneys to pass off harmful excess body
waste. They have had more than half a
century of public approval. Are recom
mended by grateful users everywhere.
