I . i U. ..J ,
, Id Memory Ot Our Sister.
I In the morning of Thursday,
i August 26th, 1915, after an illnesa
of many weeka, the lovely spirit of
our sister, Nettle, yrasgentlyborne
by the angels, to its Heavenly
- ytover from pain
and cart.
A happy waking there must
have keen, transformed from
earth's sorrows to heavenly bliss.
Around the great white throne she
sits with her little spotless angel.
She was a thoughtful, loving,
worthy mother and wife, a dutiful
daughter and devoted sister.
Her sufferings were great, pain
at times was intense, yet she never
murmured - or complained, and
never failed to say, "Thank You"
for the smallest favor rendered
her during her illness. Every art
and skill of physicians, and the
faithful nursing of a devoted hus
band, sisters and friends mode her
last days so easy that when God's
finger touched her she slept.
Nettie's was a beautiful life, so
gentle, so kind and sympathetic!
In early childhood she united her
self with the Union Baptist Church.
Here, as long as ber health per
mitted, she was an active and suc
cessful leader, being at the time of
ber death vice president of the W.
M. Society, and leader of The
Sunbeam Band. So often during
her illness she would say, "I wish
I could go to church."
On December 30, 1904. Blie was
married to Mr. T. N. Charles.
wLo, with one little girl, Anto
ipette Matthews, is left to mourn
the death of a wife and mother,
who tried by her love and care to
make ber home ideal
Besides a husband and a little
girl, she leaves a father and a
mother, one brother and four
sisters, slmost heart-broken.
In the absence (kf her pastor,
Rev. S. N. Watson, the funeral
services were conducted by Rev.
C. L. Dowell of Ahoskip, N. C.,
Friday the 27th from the Union
Baptist Church. Then amid a
cloud of sorrow her body was laid
to rest, beside her little boy, Jesse
Stanley, in the cemetery in the
church yard. Her grave ? was
covered with many beautiful floral
offerings.
Time cannot heal our woun-ed hearts.
Or All the vacant chair,
We miss your dear, kind, smiling face.
We miss you sister, everywhere.
We often sit and think of you
When we are all alone.
For memory is the only thing
That grief can call its own;
'Twas hard to part with one so good.
But God, thy will be done.
With Jesus she has gone to dwell
In that bright and happy home.
Her Devoted Sisters.
The Ahoskie Market.
Has Ahoskie a tobacco market!
Is the Ahoskie market satisfying
its customers! Well, yes. rather.
The broad grin and the happy
smile are the testimonials which
we are using. Did you follow
any of the sales last week! If
you did how many planters did
you see who were not satisfied
with the prices they reieived! Did
you see the man who expected to
get 15} cent and received 2fi>
Well, you should have. His was
one of these unusual, long, and
catching smiles. And there are
others just like him. But that is
not unusual, the planters do get
and should get better prices here
than at other markets. Why!
Because the buyers here buy on
commission and they go to the
very limit in order to make their
weeks purchases the larger. In
most other markets the buyers are
on a salary, and so do not care
whether they buy or not. Don't
forget that our buyers buy on
commission. Moral! Ahoskie mar
ket is the place to sell your tobacco.
And likewise your hogs, cotton,
peanuts, chickens, cattle etc.
There is a market for anything
and everything i>'ere, but just now
Ahoskie is specialising on tobacco,
and gi ving the highest prices pos
sible.
Tbe Ahoskie High School Rally
On Sunday night September
12tli, tbe people of the Ahoskie
school district met in the Ahoskie
Baptist Church for the purpose of
arousing tbe spirit of pu operation
soma* .11: ,
About eight o'clock, chairman,
J. A. Williams opened the meeting
and Kev. C. L. Dowell gave a
scripture lesson ~ and prayer. A*
Lawyer Johnson very aptly ex
pressed it, be was on tbe skirmish
line and the heavy artillery would
come afterwards. His remarks (
were not only an introduction to >
the evenings entertainment; but >
were based on the moonlight ;
schools. He showed by statistics
and argument that the moonlight j
school was a practical and helpful j
innovation in the educational cur- |
riculum of North Carolina. j
Lawyer Johnson was followed ]
by eur ex-principal - Prof. L. C. j
Williams. Prof. Williams msde a J
very interesting talk, showing the I
successive steps of the educational ,
spirit in North Carolina. He men
tioned the work of our own, belov
ed Oovernoi Aycock and the dis
couragements and trials which
were thrown in his path when he
began tbe campaign for an educat
ed or enlightened slate. Prof.
Williams also stated that his work
had continued and was continuing.
Just here several small girls
arose and ssug an interesting and
appropriate song.
County Supt. N. W. Britton
then introduce! the teachers to
Hertford County. His local
statistics were as interesting to the
county people as to the new
teachers. He showed our standing
among the counties of the state
educationally and although inter
esting, they were not a credit to
our people. However, our pro
gress ib the last few years is some
thing for us to boast of.
As an introductory address,
Hon. E. T. Snipes' was interesting
as well as uplifting. He spoke of
the advantages of an educated man ,
over an illiterate one, and of the
beauties of nature which he was !
able to grasp when the other !
would let them pass unnoticed. I
Lawyer Snipes very flatteringly
introduced Hon. O. E. Midyette, !
as one who bad spent his life in
the educational world.
And the '*Big Gun" was not !
a disappointment. Hon. G. E. I
Midyette dwelt upon the hob)
which co-operation gives to a '
school. He also was very en
thuiastic over the public school
system in North Carolina as
it is being worked out. The only
thing which we can say about his
address, and the only thing neces
sary, is that it was a resume of the I
school work in North Carolina.
Prof F. Q. Barbee statod that,
since it was growing late, he would
pospono his talk until Monday A. I
M., at the opening of the school.
This closed an entertaining and '
helpful programme. (
UNION 4. COLERAIN 1. *
? ?
Union closed a vgry successful
season Wednesday at Colerain, by *
defeating the hard hitting Colerain <
team 4 to 1, making it two out of
three. "Buck" Darden was on
the mound for Union and pitched ?
gilt-edge ball; allowing two hits
and issuing oue pass. While
Manning was hit at will.
The game was featured by the
all round work of the Union team
and the outfield of the Colerain
teanf. ?
