Mrs. F. W. Justice
Passes Away
On lute Saturday evening Mm. P.
IV. Justice, wife or Frank W. Justice,
Stierlff of this County died at thair
liome about fire miles southwest of
Loulsburg, after having been 111 for
some time and her health having been
In the decline for several years. The
passing of Mrs. Justice brings sor
f/w to all of her many friends. Al
though they realize her gain, their
loss looms great in their hearta.
Mrs. Justice was fifty-six years of
uge. Hfcr life has been one of cheer
and tenderness and love for her loved
. nes and friends. Even in the dark
est hours of sickness and suffering
her love and tenderness shewn
through. Much has been taken from
l his husband and relatives and
[rleuds; sweet ties have been severed,
but much Is left. The christian's
hope and fadeless memories are still
theirs. Since this life has passed in
to the Joy of her Lord, the memory
must prove a perpetual Inspiration.
To her the struggle and burden of
KrUr are ended, and we confidently
trust that like one who awakes from
a troubled dream she has awakened
to see Ufe's endless morning break
and knows herself at home with all
the vast throng of loved ones, missed
fiom earth, safe about bet'.
Mrs. Justice is survived only by her
husband and a brother and sister, who
are Mf. J. P. Tlmberlake, of near
loulsburg, and Mrs. T. B. Wheeler of
Scotland Neck. She was a member of
Flat Rock Baptist church to which (be
was faithful and loyal always.
Rev. Mr. Morris, pastor of Flat Rock
Church, conducted the funeral ser
vices from the home on Sunday eve
t ing at four o'clock. The service was
very impressive and the interment
made at Oaklawit cemetery at
I.ouisburg. The pall bearers were
Messrs. W. N. Fuller, J. J. Young, B.
M. Meadows, 8. C. Holden, G. L?
Cooke, c. E. Pace, M. S. Clifton, and
L L. Joyner.
The floral tribute was profuse and
l.-eantiful.
Quite an exceedingly large number
of relatives and friends attended the
services, many from surrounding
towns and sections among whom
were: Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Wheeler,
Mrs. Joe Cotten, Mr. and Mrs. D. K
Joaey, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. McDowell,
Mr. and Mrs. C- F. Burroughs, Mr.
rnff Mrs. L & Cherry, Mr. and Mrs.
C. J. Shields, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Har
den. Mrs. R. P. Blackwell, Mrs. Hugh
Johnson, Mrs. J. A. Ptttman, Misses
Myrtle Wheeler and LJIIian Harden,
o.' Scotland Neck; Rev. T. L. Justice
of Washington City.
Some one has said, "When death
strikes down the innocent, for every
fri gile form from which he lets the
panting spirit free, a hundred virtues
rise, in shapes of mercy, charity and
love, to walk the world and bless it.
Of every tear that sorrowing mortals
bhed on such green graves, some good
is born, some gentler nature comes."
And so tt (teems with this life of pa
tience and love and tenderness that
fcas Just entered into eternal peace
and rest the many virtues of her soul
lise and bless the earth.

PRICES HIGHER
AT LOUISBURG
SA LES INCREASING OVER UAST
YEAR
Many Growers From it Distance
Sell In LoulaburK ? General Satis
faction Prevails at Daily Hales.
Sales on the Loulsburg tobacco
market the past week have been very
satisfactory to both growers and
warehousemen.
Sales have been reasonably light
due to the tact that the growers are
busy saving other crops during this
xplendid spell of weather, but each
day has brought sales that showed In
crease in pounds over corresponding
trayg of last year and u even but
positive advance in price. Many
growers from a distance are patronis
ing the Loulsburg market this year,
t-mong which are many who have nev
er patronized the market before.
It is a noticeable fact that while
Feme types or grades of tobacco are
not selling well, others are as high .
or higher than they were at any time
the past several years. The market
Wednesday made an actual average of
?11.29 and the indications yesterday
r/orning were that Thursdays average
would be a great deal higher.
? Mttnr ?f -the fanners are expressing
themselves as receiving move than
they expected and acme of the visitors
say "we are going tn keep coming
here as long as you make such good
fales for us."
: 'rr \i!y sold more" than twice as much
lis at the same time last year and
with averages ranging a good deal
Mgber. Loulsburg is proud of the
lect that its daily averages are high

ti keep it in that position.
