J T FLYTHE
Dies In Norfolk List Thursday
Clerk of the Superior Court
of Northampton Coun'y for
Thirty-two Years Leader In
Political and Religious Fields
Jesse Thomas Flyihe, Clerk of
the Northampton Superior Court,
died in a Norfolk hospital on Tliurs
day of Ijsi week, where lie had
been taken for an operation. He
was 5() years of age and had held
the portion of Clerk of the Court
of Northampton county for thirty
twj years.
Mr. Flythe was among the most
prominent men in Eastern Caroli
na in politics, in banking and in
religious work. He had on sev
eral occasions been mentioned as a
possible candidate for Congress,
though he did not seek ihe office.
He organized, and until recently
was head of the Bank of North
ampton, and he promoted and was
the principal owner of the Jackson
electric light plant. .
A member of the Methodist
church and a Sunday school super
intendent, he was for several years
the treasurer of the board of mis
sions of the North Carolina Con
ference. Besides his widow, Mr. Flyihe
is survived by five sons: J. A.
Flyihe, editor of the Northampton
Progress; Dr. Allen G. Flyihe, of
Philadelphia, and Arthur B., Julian
T., and S. S. Flyihe, of Jackson.
The funeral took place at Jack
son last Saturday afternoon, and it
is said there were over two thous
and friends in attendance, a former
pasior, Rev. J M. Wright, con
ducting the funeral services, ussis
ted by ten other ministers', inclu
ding the Presiding Elder, of. the
District. The floral designs were
beautiful an J elaborate.
The News and Observerin speak
ing of his death, says :
''For nearly a third of acentury,
Mr. J. T. Flyihe, who died a few
days ago, served as Clerk of -the
Superior Court of Northampton
county, latterly by the unanimous
vote of the p,eople of his couniy.
He was a model citizen and public
official, without guile and with
large contribution of good works.
He had served his church with
the same fidelity which marked
him as a public official, and at the
session of ihe Methodist Confer
ence was chosen as delegate to the
General Conference of his cllurch.
It is due to quiet, unobtrusive,
public spirited Christian men like
J. T. Flythe that the State rests
securely. The passing of such a
citizen is a public loss."

for water works and other city im
provements were opened for in
spection last week, but all found to

MAKli OTHliRS HAPPY.
Beat Way to Celebrate Christmas
is to Do Something in Mem ry
of Childhood Days.
It seems that when one has grown
a little old, the best and ihe happiest
way to celebrate Christmas is to
do something for remembrance-
remembrance of one's own
childhood, for Christmas is really
for the little children, after all.
It is for children more than for
others because it is a day that
commemorates the birth of a child
that wondrous Christ child that
was born in a manger of a stable
in the little town of Bethlehem
2,000 years ago.
Now, there will be scarcely a
child in all the world who will not
await the dawn of Christmas morn
ing with a wondering soul. It is
the dawn of that day when the
morning stars sang together, and
when peace on earth and good will
toward men were proclaimed from
the high heavens. But, there will
be many a child to whom Christ
mas will not bring its dearly longed
for happiness.
The children of the rich will not
be disappointed, nor will the chil
dren of the very poor be disap
pointed. It is the child who has
not rich or well-to-do folks, but
who, at the same time, is not sub
ject for charily, who will be un
happy when Christmas comes.
And it is this child that you
should seek out and make happy
for remembrances. -
You see, it is a fact that we
can make a happy Christmas for
ourselves only by making some
one else happy. Do not think that
you can make a happy Christmas
for yourself any other way, because
you cannot do so.
Try (he way here pointed out.
The child is easily found, when
you have found that one and have
made it happy, the very angels of
God will envy you .the gladness
that you will feel.

GOODS ROADS.
Halifax County Maintenance Sys
tem a auccess,
The North Carolina Highway
Bulletin for November, contains
quite an extensive article by our
townsman, Mr. C. F. Gore, on the
roads of Halifax and Northampton
counties, giving several beautiful
illustrations of the roads and bridges
in the two counties, In speaking
of the Halifax county roads and
bridges, Mr. Gore says :
"Since the organization of our
system, we have reclaimed 7b
miles of road, reconstructed 43
miles, and made passable 65 miles
of secondary roads. This work
was done by the maintenance camps
and it is in addition to 35 miles
which have received constant main
tenance. There is just one other thought
in connexion with Halifax couniy
that I would like ro mention, that
is, her bridge activities. No high
way is stronger than its bridges,
and bridge maintenance is just as
important as highway maintenance.
As slated above in August 1919
Halifax county had 157 wooden
bridges, 90 of which were in dan
gerous condition. Realizing that
with so many bridges it would be
impossible to use concrete, and'also
realizing the necessity of prompt
action, we decided to use creosoted
pile structures, driving cypress
piles and using unbled long leaf
Florida pine timber. Since this
time, we have built 28 pile bridges
have a total span of 1340 feet. We
have constructed ? concrete, and
36 wooden bent bridges, and have
repaired and refloored 117
bridges."
AN APPRECIATION.
Whereas, Our beloved sister,
and co-worker, Mrs. J. G. Blalock
has moved from us to another
field of service, we the members
of the W. M. Society of the Wel
don Baptist Church desire to ex
press our sincere appreciation of
her faithful work among us.
Therefore, be it resolved,
f. That the W. M. Society has
lost one of its most consecrated
nd efficient members.
2.. That we deeply appreciate
the constructive and faithful work
of our sister, both in the W. M. S ,
and the Ladles Aid Society.
3. That we pray that God's
choicest blessings may abide upon
her and her family.
4. That a copy of these resolu
tions be spread upon our Society's
minutes, that a copy be sent to the
Roanoke News for publication,
and that a copy be sent to Mrs, J.
G. Blalock.
Respectfully submitted,

When all of the guests had as

cards on which each one wrote
some recipe for cooking to the
bride to-be, and no doubt but what
these will be of great use io Miss
Willie Black.
A huge tray of packages were
presented to Miss Musgrove and
upon opening these, (here were
found many beautiful and useful
things.
A most delicious ice course was
served, followed by nuts and mints.

FASHION FANCIES.
Something to Please and Interest
Our Lady Readers.
Long black gloves are in greater
demand than the long white kid
glove.
Flowers and fruit are being
shown more and more on winter
hats. In many instances one or
two large (lowers appear on either
side of ihe brim, giving a wide side
effect.
Red heels are reported u the
newest thing from Paris, while vel
vet slippers in high colors are
worn for evening.
Medallions of diamonds or rhine
stones mounted on bandsof maline
matching the hair and arranged so
that the jewels have the effect of
being plastered on the forehead
since the maline fastening is prac
tically invisible, are popular for
evening wear.
The all black coat is being worn
whether it is black fur or caracul,
monkey, wolf, fox or lynx, on
black cloths.
SPEAK UP.
Since our last issue, several peo
ple have expressed a willingness
to contribute towards helping Mr.
W. H. Carroll out. It will be re
membered he lost by fire, in one
night, 8 bales of cotton, all his
corn and fodder together with his
team, which leaves him without
anything. Five dollars will neither
make you nor break you, but if
one hundred will contribute $5.00
it will mean a great deal to Mr.
Carroll. Don't put it off, the win
ter is coming on, and this brother
is left without anything with a wife
and a large family of children to
support.
"A certain man went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell
among thieves, which stripped
him of his raiment, and wounded
him. and departed, leaving him
half dead."
And then the narrative is that by
chance there came down a certain
priest that way, but he "passing
on the other side," and likewise a
Levite he, too, passed by on the
other side.
Praise God, a certain Samaritan
journeyed that way, and he had
oil and wine, and he ministered to
the stranger had compassion on
him, bound up his wounds."
Are you willing to pass by on
the other side and not contribute
towards helping this brother?
The matter is with YOU.
the riming qame.
Each player receives two slips
of paper, On one she must write
a question, on the other a noun.
All the question slips are then
dropped into one bag or basket
and all the nouns into another.
Shake the baskets so as. to mix the
slips thoroughly, then allow each
player to draw a question and i
noun without looking ai them.
The players have paper and pen
cils and in five or ten minutes must
compose a stanza or two that an
swer the quesiion and bring in the
noun in rime.
Before beginning, each player
should write ihe noun and the
question at the top of the page,
thus :
Quesiion: Why does grandma
ike surgar ?
Noun: Gunpowder.
W hen grandma was a girl, my dear,
In days now long gone by,
The civil War was raging still;
She heard the bullets flyl
Good things to eat were very scarce
And sugar, too, you see;
And so she always asks for more
In her gunpowder tea.
LITTLETON AND WELDON
On Friday afternoon Weldon
High School boys met Littleton on
the local basket ball arena. This
was the strongest team we had met
this year. From the first sound
of the referee s whistle, the teams
showed that they were equally
matched. Our boys got down
their old form and were winning
(he game when our star center,
Walter Daniel, was stooping for
the ball and broke his collar bone
by hitting his shoulder on the hip
bone of his opponent.
This accident happened with
just a minute more to play to finish
the first half of the game. John
Wyche was put in to finish the
remaining time of the first half,
when the final score stood 22 to
16 in favor of Weldon. This,
however, cannot be called a game
lor but half of the game was played.
