COPE LAND SUCCUMBS TO TUBERCULOSIS FUNERAL HELD TUESDAY Deceased Was Native of Mary land and Had Been Married Seven Years?Had Suffered With Tuberculosis?Faithful Church Worker \ One of the saddest deaths to occur in Ahoslde for some time was that of Mrs. Hob Roy Copeland, who died at the State Sanatorium last Satur day night, at nine o'clock. The hus band, a local druggist, was notified by telegram on Saturday that his wife was nearing the end He left on the next train for her bedside, but reached there after she had passed away. She had been at the Sanatorium for the past several weeks, suffering with the final stages of tuberculosis, probably contracted by a severe case of influenaa and pneumonia whfch the deceased suffered about two years ago. She had been confined to her bed at her home here for several we eks before her removal to the sana torium. I The body was brought to her homo bare Monday morning, and was ac companied by her husband and tev eral relatives who had been notified of her death. On Tuesday afternoon at one o'clock,* the funeral was eon ducted at the Baptist church by her pastor, Rev. Fred T. Collins, assited by Rev. A. P. Mustian, of Winton. The funeral was the most impressive conducted by Rev. Mr. Collins, who paid the deceased woman the highest tribute of respect in reciting her fai thfulness to her home and to ber church. A large gathering of relatives and fHends of the family were at the church; and later formed the funeral procession which drove to the city ce metery where the body was laid to mat. A very large array of floral tri butes were offered, the remembrances coming from far and near.

Mr. E. W. Gaither, District Ag ent Visits This County in In terest of the Organization? Farmers Throughout State Are Taking Advantage of This Golden Opportunity ? Mr. E. W. Gaither, district demon stration agent, spent a few days last week in Hertford County, the object of his visit being to create a greater interest among Hertford Codnty far mers in the co-operative marketing associations, for tobacco and cotton. Mr. Gather was in conference with H. L. Miller, Hertford County demon stration agent, and together they have planned to make a thorough can vass of the farmers of this county, withh the end in view of securing the ir signatures to the cotton and tobac co contracts. Mr. Gather stated that already several farmers ill this coun ty had taken stock in the agreement, even though the organized campaign had hardly gotten under way. The meeting which was held in Winton a few weeks ago helped to create some4 interest in the county; but, as yet, the farmers of this county have not shown Gie interest necessary to make the proposition a success in the coun v:r f**., Other counties of the state, and far mers of South Carolina and Virginia, | have shown a keen interest in the pj jan by which the two products?tobac ko and cotton?comprising the prin cipal crops of these three states may be put on a safe and sane marketing basis. Throughout North Carolina, hundreds of farmers have taken ad vantage of this one opportunity, whi ch is now being presented, to build up a permanent marketing associa Ition which will ensure them a fair and '.equitable return for the commodities .upon which they depend mainly. The I marketing association for cotton and 'tobacco growers is drawn on the iden tical- plan as the Peanut Exchange, Which has almost been completed, with headquarters at Suffolk, Va. Mr. ' Aaron Sapiro, of the Wen was the 'principal writer of all three agree ments, and M. Sapiro came from that section of the West, where co-opera tive marketing associations have long since proven their worth to the fruit 'growers. Here is a little extract taken from the Monday News and Observer relat ive to the campaign now under way: { "That North Carolina is aroused to the necessity of co-operative market ing of cotton is shown by the reports from all over the state conking into campaign headquarters at Raleigh, Virginia, South Carolina, and all oth er Southern states that are now en gaged in a fight for fair prices need 'not worry about North Carolina go ing through with her part of the pro gram because merchants and bankers are lining up with the farmers to make co-operative marketing a real jity this year. quainted.

Fol lowing the lecture by Chancellor Geqrge Bradford, on last Friday night J} meeting was held to diacuss the pos sibility oif securing signers for the 1922 contract. Several "faithfuls" remained to hear Dr. Bradford in an informal talk, following which a round table discussion of the 1922 contract was engaged In. The men and women at the meeting decided from the outset that it would be use less to attempt to sign up for the 11922 contract with only 30 guaran tors, owing to the heavy loss devolv ing upon such a small number. Con sequently, it was decided to work for ,100 signers, each to be responsible for $10 worth of tickets. Five nam es were secured that night, and a committee appointed to do some can- ? vassing Saturday. j With Rev. L. E. Satryer, and Messrs. BobTaylor, ?. J. Gerock and ,W. B. Johnson in Charge of the can vass for guarantors, about fifty sign ers were secured during the day and at the tent Saturday night. On MOn ^y another canvass was made, and when Monday night came, there were only about 15 lading. Spurred on by the cheers of the Juniors, and talks by Mrs. Smith, E. J. Gerock and Rev. Mr. Sawyer, the remaining number was secured. And, when the news was announced, the young chil dren in the tent sent up one mighty yell?and thus. Ahoskie did what 99 per cent of its population said it would not and vcottld not do. As CHancellor Bradford would say "the desire for Chputauqua was .to gain Chautauqua." | The six days of chautauqua here this year were crammed full of good, wholesome, clean entertainment for the o]d folks?and the Juniors had "one big time". By far the most impressing and distinctive part of the week's program was the lecture by Chancellor Bradford; for he stir red every person who sat raptly to hear him, and many were there who agreed that his lecture alone was well worth the price of a season ticket. Among the most popular musical J numbers were: The Mendellsohn Or- \ chestra Club of the first afternoon j and night, (the Irish Minstrels, and the Dunbar Quartette and Bell Ringers. N ."Nothing but the Truth" on Saturday , night drew the largest crowd, and / was equally as entertaining and am using as "It Pays to Advertise", given here last year. The final after noon was the biggest for the Juniors, who gave their Pageant, and were then thoroly entertained, 'tickled', and amused at Havelock, the Jug gler. The final evening, with the Dunbar bunch giving a full program, was perhaps the most throughly en joyed of the musical numbers, both , instrumental and vopal. ^ The net loss to each guarantor this season was $12.42, but so well com pensated have they been that over 75 per cent of them have helped to br ing it back here in 1922.
