Pittsboro Man Dies in City _ of Los Angeles ]Vlr- Samuel Spencer Jackson, Brother of late Mrs. London and Miss Carrie Jackson, Died Friday Evening — Body on Way to Pittsboro. In far away Los Angeles, Cali fornia. on last Friday evening, Sam uel Spencer Jackson, the only bro ther of the late Mrs. Henry A. Lon ,i n and Miss Carrie Jackson surv in.ir to that date, passed away. This scion of several of the old ■e-; and most distinguished North Carolina families, including the Worths, Spencers, and Jacksons, left his native town quite a number f years ago and has not been back Cnee the burial of his elder brother Jonathan Worth Daniels. He was a graduate of the University and taught school here and later prac ticed law. When he left here to settle in Chicago he was sfrill un varied. and it was only ten years ago that he became the husband of Miss Bertha Mae Cheek of Los Angeles, Cal. In 1920 he moved from Chicago to the booming Cali f nia metropolis, where he seems to have prospered in business. He and Mrs. Jackson had re cently built a handsome new home and had urgently insisted that his sisters visit him; while he himself and wife planned a visit to the old home town of the husband* Since -the death of Mrs. London, sympathizing with the loneliness of his sister Miss Carrie, he had been particularly insistent that she should visit them. But plans on either side for a reunion were disrupted by Mr. Jackson’s rather sudden death last Friday evening, the announce ment of which reached his sister the next morning by telegraph. A later wire - informed the be reaved relatives here that funeral service? would be held in Los An geles Tuesday afternoon and that immediately afterwards Mrs. Jack son would start with the body for Pittsboro. I: is not yet known when the body will arrive, but the burial can hardly be before the first of next week. As the Pittsboro relatives have never met Mrs. Jackson, the meet ing wil take place under most dis tressing circumstances. The London family, including Miss Carrie Jackson, has been most woe fully bereaved in the past year. This will be the third time that the people of Pittsboro have been called upon to pay last respects to esteemed members of the family. Mr. Jackson was sixty-five years of age. His parents were John Jack son and Lucy Worth Jackson, the j 'otter a daughter" of the former C tvernor Jonathan Worth. Chatham Farmer Splurges A Bit —<s> Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Harris, ac c ’mpanied by Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hughes of Raleigh, returned last week from a ten-day trip into Kentucky. When Mr. Harris was asked why he didn’t let a fellow know he was going, he replied that be didn't want it generally known, is it might not have been safe for those two hundred fine turkeys he has at his New Hope home. Mr. and Mrs. Winston Upchurch, of Durham, came and spent the time at the Harris home and took care of the turkeys. Mr. Harris reported a pitiable condition prevailing in Kentucky because of the drought. He wanted some of the sheep that were being forced upon the market, but the red tape required to have them 'hipped here, plus the freight, prevented his buying a hundred. The party spent two nights at the Grove Park Hotel, Asheville, on the reMrn trip, and Mr. Harris had the experience of paying eight dollars a n:ght for a place to s.eep. The vac.fig in Asheville was done at a chea; er place. However, as he got sSpc for turkeys last fall and is - ng in money almost any old day, 1 could afford to splurge a little. «> Address Upon Cancer Control Dr. H. H.
