The Chatham Record ESTABLISHED SEPTEMBER 19,1878. death of estimable lady. Mrs Benett Nooe Passed Away on M Thursday, June 5, 1924. Entered into life everlasting at 9 m .. Thursday, June sth, 1924, at Jer home in Pittsboro, Mrs. Fannie p.it h rock Nooe, beloved and faithful •if? of Mr. Bennett Nooe. Mrs Nooe was the daughter of the i L Mr" J. B. and Charlotte Letson Rothrock, of Chester, South Carolina. Rmn June 2, 1860. The death of this beloved woman brings heavy sorrow to a large circle “.Lfde of her immediate family and ! °SL especially to th* writer of remembering so well the day Mr. j’u-s Nooe came from Lexington, veto live among us (m 1886.) 1 S b e ’ was ever a special friend to ,he voung people, never happier than when surrounded by them, and doing for their happiness. Her loss will be severely felt by all who enjoyed the privilege of her friendship and were acquainted with the beauty of her character and her life of love. The whole tenure of her existence on earth was love. She loved h er family, her relatives and her friends with supreme devotion, un broken faithfulness and self-forget ting unselfishness. It was inevitable that she should have commanded the admiration of af fection of those who knew her inti mately* Mrs. Nooe was a devout member of the Methodist church here, and in that fold she faithfully worshipped and served the God of her fathers. Heir, as all of us are, to trials of this life, yet she was never embit tered by suffering nor appalled by trouble or distress, but her devout and trusting heart ever held fast to the faith delivered to her. The tender bloom of her heart nev er faded nor did the bright smile which she carried with her always. The grief we feel at the passing of this beloved friend loses its sting in ► the assurance that she is now one of 1 the ransomed saints who, “throng up the steeps of light.” Besides her husband, Mrs. Nooe is survived by five sons, Bennett Nooe, Jr., Henrv Rothrock. Louie A.. Da^id B. and Thomas Letson, and two daughters, Miss Fannie Nooe, and Mrs. R. E. Aiken, also six grand children and o"e brother, Mr. Henry C. Rothrock, of Washington, D. C.

This week we are beginning our puzzles again. Below we offer a prob lem to be solved by the young folks between the ages of 12 and 21 years of age. The requiremeits are few and we want you to observe them closely, because failure to comply with either one will disqualify the one answering the puzzle. Following is the problem: |Hs n w The diagram above represents a word familiar to thousands of people in the world. The letters may be ar ranged anyway desired; turned over, reversed or juggled together in any manner to gefgjthat word, but no let ter must be used more than one time. To the one guessing correctly, send ing in the neatest, best answer and meeting all requirements, will be given a six mohths’ free subscription to The Chatham Record. Here are the only conditions: Write the word on a sheet of paper as your guess; give your name in full, your age and complete mail address, state whether a member of your family is a subscriber to The Record or not, , and certify on your honor that you , have not received help or suggestion from anyone older than yourself. ■ Address all letters to Joe Snyder, care The Chatham Rcord, Pittsboro, N.

TO CHATHAM COUNTY VOTERS. To the democratic voters of Chat ham county and more especially the voters who cast their ballots for me, I wish to thank you for your vote and influence, and I trust you may never have cause to regret the stand you took, even though you lost your choice. To the voters who saw fit to sup port some other rather than myself, I wish to say I am your brother dem ocrat and will hold you in the same high esteem as I have l ‘fore, and to both democratic and republican vot ers as well, will say it is very im portant that we have two parties, but we must or should come together in the way of fairness, frankness aid above all honesty. As for myself I wish to say I have never affiliated with and other party and am proud of my democracy, and as I have only been in the grand old county of Chat ham five years on August 28th, 1924, and polled the winning vote over my opponent in Bear Creek, Gulf and Oakland townships—a section in which my opponent’s life has been spent, is very gratifying to me. Now my hat is off to the winners in the primary and I shall support each and every one on the democratic ticket. With all that has been said and done against Mr. Wade Barber, I wish to say while he was not sup porting me, he did give me a square deal, and I am frank to say I am ad ding Mr. Barber to my list of friends. I have one request to make of you. Please be kind enough to come out openly and state to the voters of Chatham in due time before you are voted on in November, will you deliv er us out of bondage and return to us our rights, for we are all of" age now and do not need to be under the guidance of a guardian any longer. I mean by this, will you, if elected, use your very best influence to have the bond law repealed, allowing the coun ty commissioners to issue bonds with out the voters having a voice in the matter. Please deliver us if it comes in your power. This campaign has been a great pleasure to me and has been the means of my meeting many people, and has been the means of forming new acquaintances and new friend ships. May this friendship formed keep building until it bursts into a flame of love, in the way of true friendship, never to die down until we have completed our task here on earth and called to stand the trial which we certainly must stand. Yours very truly, L. B. HESTER. Goldston, N. C., June 9, 1924. DEATH OF MRS JOHN WHITE. Siler City, June 9.—After an illness of several months, Mrs. John A.
