AX APPRECIATION OF MRS. A. J. CO^KE When on the ninth of January, the sad tidings reached Louisburg |hat Mrs. A. J. Cooke had passed into, the Ail eat Beyond, there was sadness ever the whole town and deep sorrost to her loved ones and iriends. Coming suddenly, her death was a greatshoek "Just a sigh and then good-bye", as she fell in the arms of her daughter. Her body was brought from Beau fort. to the home of tier husbands sis ter, Mrs. E. S. Foster in, Louisburg. The following day, after an impres sive service, at the home, her body jtas. laid to- rest -at Oak Lawn -Ceme tery bv the side of her litt.U sou, who left her long ago. Both mounds were | covered with fairest flowers from ft .ends, far and near. Loving hands piaced thenj there thinking sadly of the touch of the "vanished hand, and the sduifd oT the voice lEatTTs "still." - - Stella - -Branch Cooke was the daughter of Col. John Branch, of Branch Hill, Cincinnati. One sister Mrs. Carrie Law of Cincinnati, and a brbmor Charies or Indiana are air of aprominent family. She was married to Mr. A. J. Cooke, and came to Raleigh, a bride. Mr. Cooke was a native of Louisburg. but at that time was manager of the Yar bcrough Hotel in Raleigh. Mrs. Cooke soon learned to love this beau tiful southland, and his people be came her people at once. Cultured and refined, possessing a rare loveliness and cfiarm, attracted all who knew her, and made for her many devoted friends. Her keen sense of humor often, for others, changed "gray skies to blue." The joyousness of her spirit, the ready smile, the cheerful outlook on life were the qualities which made the loving wife, the tender and devoted mother, the sincere friend. If one beautiful trait was more outstanding than another, that trait was loyalty. True to her God, true to her family true to her friends. But Mrs. Cooke's days were not all glad days; there came Into her life sad days, days so dark that but for her faith In the Masters touch, and the tender love of her husband, who shared her grief, she might never have found the silver lining to the black, cloud that engulfed her, as she watctL cd by the bedside of her first born and saw him die. But Ood is good and in the younger son Buell, she found all that a son might mean. The home she loved with her husband, her son and hie wife, (cherished as an own daughter,) the little grand daughter, Virginia will miss ber most, but they with others whom she loved will have only tender memories all down the years. As one looked on the face of Stella Cooke, so peaceful, so beautiful In death come the thought expressed by Jerome K. Belle; "What Is this mystery that men call | Predicts World Peace i Mr?.

I gaze on her and say: She Is not dead, But sleeps, and soon she will arise and take Me by the hand. I know she will awake And smile on me as she did yester day; And she will have some gentle word to say, Some kindly deed to do; (or loving thought Was warp and woof of which her life was wrought. She Is not dead. Such souls for ever live In boundless measure of the love they give." Con. young democrats y " OF FRANKLIN COUNTY We are Informed by Raymond O.

VOCATIONAL AGRICLLTCBE AND ITS RELATION TO THE CONMCNITV (This is the second of a series of articles being published in The Frank lin Times in which the various phases of vocational Agriculture are discuss ed.) The Agricultural Advisory Committee In order for the department of Vo cational Agriculture to-work proper ly, there must be a direct contact formed between the department and the community. This is-done very largely through the Advisory Commit tee. This committee varies in numb er in different localities, but each member of the committee is careful ly selected because of his qualities in leadership and general ability. The Advisory Committee helps the teacher of Agriculture plan his pro gram of work for the year and then, if the most good is to be accomplished, helps him carry out the program of work. Especially in Evening Class work the Advisory Committee can be of untold value to the department by talking to their neighbors and caus ing them to become interested in Bve ning Class work and then by enroll ing them In the classes. It is a phy sical impossibility for a teacher of Agriculture to attend to his daily du tjes at the school building and also, to vfsft ali the "farmers in bis commun ity and talk to them about Evening Class work. When the advisory com mittee fails in this respect, then the department of Vocational Agriculture fells to be of the most value to the community. The final teqL-of Agri culture in the high schools is the in- ? come.it adds to the people of the community. If such a department dees not increase the earnings of a community there can be buft two rea sons. One is the teacher and the oth er is the community. If the teachef Is at fault, he should be recoved and another secured. If the community Is fault, the department should be moved to a community which will take advantage of it No community r/hich makes its living from farming :an expect to do its best work wtth >ut a carefully made community pro tram in farming. This program is made out by the Agricultural Advis ory Committee and the teacher of Ag riculture working together. After the nogram has been made, unless the Ugh school pupils enrolled In voca ional Agriculture, thetr parents, members of the Evening Classes, and he Advisory Committee all work to cether, the program can be of Bttls lervice to any community. The Agricultural Advisory Commlt ee, then la on# of the vital parts ol he department of Vocational Agrl nlture in high schools, and without i lira commltteo the work to any ommunlty will eventually tall.
