THE ROANOKE NEWS, T iims m April 20 1916. o.-. 0 j LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. j Bill to the vie i ar: ojrn, bui husDjnJs arc made. Til jc was some wind storm las: Friday. Peerless Ice Cream received daily at Cohen's. The nearer a man's life is spent the more he values it. Very few rock fish have been caught up to this time. The man who foots the bills al ways has a kick coming. Even a little miss may make a big hit when she grows up. Some men, like bricks, are al ways hard pressed fi.r cash. Kisses are the real thing only wiun bucked up by the heart. Don't borrow trouble; almost any one will gladly give it to you. It's easier for trouble to Hud your address than it is for good luck. A woman does her duty because she warns to a man because he has to. A wise man will alwujs agree vvuh his wife rather than waxte. nine arguing. Ii is late enough (his year to make ihe Ksier ouiliis run io baili ing suns. Fresh shipment of Norris and Numially's candies just received at Cohen's. "What's the score?" will soon take (he place of "what happened at Verdun?" No man ever has as much sense as the female he is engaged to thinks he has. Isn't it a shame (hat the highest praise a man ever gets comes out ai his funeral? When a man tells another that he understands women he is then classed as an easy mark. When a young man tells a leap year girl that he dreamed of her the night before it is up io her io propose or get out of the game. Will Preach Sunday. Rev. H. F. Morton will preach at the Presbyterian church here Sunday atiernoon, April 23 at 3 :30 o'clock. The public generally cordially in vited to attend.

Holy Week. With this week ends the penitential season of Lent, and is observed as Holy Week Last Sunday was known in the Church calendar as Palm Sunday, in commemoration of Christ's iri- umphantentry into Jerusalem when the multitude took branches of palm trees and went forth to meet Him, crying "Hosana: Blessed is the King of Israel that Cometh in me name of the Lord. This Holy 'Week which has iis darkest day on Good Friday, is followed next Sunday by glorious caster. Graduated nurse, good refer ences, wishes engagements in nursing. Bessie Landis, Jackson, NX, Cotton Goods Going Up.- We were told by one of our prom-' inent merchants the other day that : cotton goods were on the upward move daily. That he was retail ing cotton goods cheaper than he could buy ihe same goods from wholesale houses. He gave as a reason for (his advance in the price of cotton goods thai we had to fur nish South America, who had heretofore been buying these goods from the waring nations. He also said that he would not be at all surprised if cotton sold as high as 30 cents a pound this fall Jusi chink of ihe farmers gelling 30 cents a pound for cotton. Time will tell. Watch this prediction and make all the coiton you can, but don't neglect that hog and hominy. Gold Medal Offered. Some tune ago the Uhzabeth Monttori Ashe Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution offered a gold medal to the children of the public schools of Halifax county for the best essay on "John Paul Jones and the Grove House." Miss Ursula Daniel, Regent, re ceived fifteen essays in (his contest and these have been forwarded to Marshall DeLancey Haywood, at Raleigh, who was chosen by the Chapter chairman of ihe judges n award (he medal. The Chapter is doing splendid work along educational, charitable and social lines and Miss Daniel, oi Halifax, who is regent of ihe Eliz abeth Monttori Ashe Chapter, is most deeply interested in the work and ihe restoration of the Grove House to us lor ou r In unv. A lly came out of the old stable door Where his grandpa was born twenty minutes before, And straight to the grocery siore he Hew Ah! Well his mission in there he knew. He sampled the butter, the cheese, and a ham, Made his mark on a fresh egg, and lasted ihe jam And then, like a flash io the gutter he goes Pills up on iis filth from his head to his toes. Then quick as a wink to the butcher he went ills !e-l tilled with germs, a;i.l his heart with content, Oilier places he went to as he bu!ed about, Wouldn't look well in print, so we'll leave ihe names out. To all places of filth and disease quick he sped, And gathered the germs which as quickly he spread. Statistics can't tell us how many folks die Because of ONE hustling, industrious fly. St. Patrick once with pries-ily guile Banished the snakes from Erin's Isle Oh! That some modern sanii would rise To rid us of ihe pest of flies. There waits a niche in Fame's high hall For him, (he greatest of them all Who'll banish from Columbia's shore The flies, which vex the nation sore. Him will we greet with loud acclaim Whaie'er his nation or his name His praises will be sounded high Who rids us of ihe pesky fly. This longed-for saint may never come To cleanse the street, the store, the home And so it's up to you and I To swat the fly to swat ihe fly. Destroy ihe first one you may see With him dies his posterity Each pesky lly in springiinie slain Means that when summer comes again The flies may buv, bite and distress There'll be at least some millions less. So as the summer days draw nigh The Hoard of lleahh raises ihe cry Which we should heed well you and I It's "Swat the tlv li's swat ihe lly." -Tom Mkaciiam.

Iest Store Time to Put In Screens. Put in screen doors and window-. now is the advice of ihe Stan Board of Health against ihe com - ing of warm weather and flies Warm weather is here and accord ing to the nature of warm weather and flies, flies will be here by tlir hundred fold in about a week or ten days, and whoever would be prepared against their arrival would have their doors and win dows well screened. Doors ihat remained in place all winter are likely to be found sagging or with holes punched in ihem, or perhaps ihis was the condition in which they were put away last fall. Any way, it is high lime that old screens should be repaired and put in place, and that orders be given for new ones wherever they are needed. Weldon Baptist Church RALLY.-II A. M..

Roanoke Rapids is credited by ihe United Slates Public Health Service with the best example of scieniific saniiaiion done in the United States, according to the State Board of Health, which de clares ihat malaria has been effec tively eradicated from ihe mill vil lages of Roanoke Rapids, Rose mary and Patterson. The bulletin continues: "As a result of this work, out of a population of about 5,000, there was duriii!! the year 1915 not a new c.ise of malaria contracted and not more ilian a dozen recurrent or ''hang-over" cases, whereas previous to this ami-malar;. i work 75 per cent, of me population had ihe disease everv summer, as many as 200 being sick in bed ai one lime. Anotner result, 50 per cent, of the population was coming and going, but since 1014, the year of the anti-inalai la work, the transi ents have settled down and the population inereasd 500. "To the uniinng zeal of Dr. T. W. M. Long, health officer, and to die generous tinanciul report or (he mills' company is attributed (he marvelous success ol (he malarial prevention work. Mr. S. P. Pat terson, secretary and manager, writing to Dr. R H von Pdorl at Washington, D. tl., says: "During the. September, 1912, we averaged riti looms standing per day fur want of weavcis and during September, 1914, after the ami-malaria work had been com pleted, we had no difficulty in run ning our looms, and dining Sep tember, 1915, we had the great est abundance of help. The money spent in anti-malaria work here has paid the quickest and most enormous dividends that I have ever seen from any investment, and we would do ihe work ovei again if necessary if it cost len times as much " Stables Burnkd. The livery stables of A. G. Tillotson at Roa noke Rapids, with two mules and four horses were burned Thursday morning. The building wis ihe propeny of W. D. Tillery and we learn that there was no insurance. Loss estimated at $2,000. , Fountain business increasing, why? Good service, W. M. Cohen's. AI)VI:KTIS1;I) LI;TTI:KS.
