CHKISTMAS SEALS.
All over the state for the past week
there has boen, and is being, waged a
campaign for the sale of Tuberculosis
Chrlstmi-jj HfitilB
This campaign was put on by the
State Beard of Health and its object
"Is to raise money to tight -tuberculosis
with, to fight it right here in pur .oja m
county too and not altogether in oth
er parts o.f the state. It is beiing op
erated unider the leadership of Dr.
L. B. McB.rayer, Superintendent of
]the State Sanitorium. Dr. McBray
er has furnished us with a supply of
the Christmas Seals and a few health
bonds which we are to sell, the seals
at one cent each and the Health
"Bonds at $5.00 and $50.00 each.
This campaign is a little different
from most others that have been held
J here for we keep seventy-five cents
out of every dollars worth we se.l
and it is used for the beraefit of the
'tubercular patient3 here in our own
j county. We have now one patient at
the State Sanitorium,' who- is well on
the way to recovery and he owes this
recovery to the kindness of a few of
the Franklin county people who so
kindly contributed to a fund to send
.him to asanitorium for treatment the
! latter part of the past summer. He
j is at the State Sanitorum through thu
kindness of the Red Cross chapter of
'Louisburg who are paying his ex
penses while there, sufficient funds
not being raised to keep him at the
sanitorium where he was first sent.
| The campaign in Franklin county
I will begin Saturday morning and will
j last Just a few days for we hope to !
dispose of our allotment of the seals
M.cJ Hea.tn Bonds at once for they
are for a cause that so directly inter
ests the peoplo here we feel that we
w'll have no trouble in selling them.
When one t:f our sales fores meets
you and asks you to buy some seals
cft bonds please do not refuse her for
ly^fi ,money is needed badly right here
| and we ask for only a very small am
ount from each and it may mean the
[saving of another life. We hope each
bond and every one
seals.

Mr. W. T. Person informs us that

IN MEXORIAM.
Doctor Freeman Byrum was born
in Granville county, North Carolina
on the fifth day of January, 1879. Hie
parents moved to Pranklinton the
same year, and he grew to manhood
and attended the public schools there
He entered the service Of the Sea
board Air Line Railway, ' Company
when still in his teens ?nd by hard
work and honest service rose rapidly j
; in the esteem of^hose in authority.
fiHe vras promoted time -and again andi
finally was made a conductor and gi
lifitnn. S ? C.. where he gave the com
pany universal satisfaction. On the
:21st of August, 1920, he met with a
[fatal accident, and died in a hospital
jin Portsmouth, Va., the next '4*9^
His remains were brought to Frank
;lintoi> and laid to rest, a large num
; ber of his fellow railroad men and
| several officials attending the servi
ices in a body. The funeral services
I were in charge of Rev. T. A. Sikes

land Mrs. W. H. Byrum.
I f'apt. Byrum joined- the Methodist
1 Church in boyhood and had lived an
j exemplary Christian life since that
! limy. ? He was faithful tu the vows
.he assumed and always was ready to
j apeak for the Master. He attended'
lupous the 'preaching of the word? with i
jr. regularity that is not always found
.among men. During his last hours
{he assured thos? near him that there
j were no fears in going out to meet
;the realities of the other world.
There was something beautiful in j
t his devotion to his step-mother, who j
jwas really a mother to him. He often
i spoke of her as being as good to him |
.as his own mother could have possi- I
bly been.
In 1910 he was married to Miss]
I Augusta Squires, daughter of Mr. t
land Mrs. J. A. Squires, of Northam
I ptor* County, from which union a hap
py home life resulted. Besides his
| wife and father Mr. W. H. Byrum,
of Franklinton, he leaves a sister,
Mrs. W. P. Clements to aurvi^e him,
and to whom the deepest sympathy
of the entire community goes out in
abundance in their sad bereavement.
The deceased was an honor member
of a number of the railroad brother
hoods and as in all other afTairs of
life wag true and faithful. His go
ing away caused a shadow to come
over the home of his boyhood and
that of the entire railroad division
where he was known by every one.

power to add cabinet portfolios rests
entirely with Congress and does not
require any constitutional amendment
In all probability, Mrs. Harriet Tay
lor Upton, of Ohio, will be asked to
head the new department, though it
cannot be said that a final selection
has been made as a number of names
are under consideration.
Some of the members of the party
which accompanied Mr. Harding to
Point Isabel, Texas, have returned
and just now the President-elect has
several intimate friends making in
