Mr. B. F. Bulla, a prominent and

died at the High Point hospital last
Thursday morning at one o'clock, after
an illness of several days from blood
poisoning caused by a slight cut on the

Dr. C. L. Whitaker, of Asheboro, fol
lowed by interment in the cemetery at
that place.
Mr. Bulla was b years oi age. ne

wife, who was a daughter of the late
Thomas J. Redding, of Back Creek

The deceased lived in eacK cree
township before moving to Asheboro
three or four vears ago. He had been
a member of Charlotte Methodist
Protestant church for more than forty
years, having joined that church at the
age of 19 years. He always took an
active part in the affairs of his church
and had the highest respect for relig
ion and morality. A more consecrat
ed christian gentleman than Ben Bul
la, as he was called by friends, would
be hard to find. Mr. Bulla was an en
ergetic, industrious man, a success
ful fanner. He had supreme contempt
for the idler and the person wno wast
ed time, which be considered valuable.
For two years, from iw to xviv,
Mr. Bulla served as a memoer oi me
board of County Commissioners of
Randolph county. He was always in
terested in any movement that was for
the upbuilding of his town, county,
tat or nation.
The sympathy of hundreds of friends
throughout the state goes out to the
bereaved family, in the loss of their
husband and father.

ordinance or who is truant, unruly,
wayward, or misdirected or who is
disobedient to parents or beyond their
control, or who is in danger of becom

exhibition or is found m any place
where a child is forbidden by law to
be and for permitting which an adult
may be punished by law, or who is in
such condition or surroundings or is
under such improper or insufficient
guardianship or control as to endan

fare of such child; or
(c) Who is dependent upon publie
support or who is destitute, homeless
or abandoned, or whose custody is
subject to controversy.
The board of county commissioners
