C, Feb. 26. 1915 i C, Feb Editor Creedmoor Times-News. Dear Brother Hart: I was pleased to find a copy of The Times News on my desk this morning. I have missed it so much, it is like an c Id friend come back. Hope it will continue to come. Glad you resumed publication and hope you may continue la make a good paper. Now to the people of Granville County, (and they arc good people), pitch in now and help the editor to make a good county paper. The editor is .-11 right, but he can't do it all, give hime news items and also dollars. That's what makes a good paper. If my broth er Hester the clever but " ugly" carrier on Route 1, and the 'tother fellow on Route 2 were not so lazy thev would give some route news. Nothing helps a county paper mure than news from ihe rura'l routes. Brother Hart knows this from his former experience, so brother car riers get busy and help out the ed itor, also he'p your routes. The Postomce Department is after .the weak routes anyway. Every patron of a rural route ought to lake a county paper. Everybody enjoys .reading-pews from the routes. 1 have been giv ing a few items to our couVity. pa pers for 10 years or more, and I en joy reading, even my own stuff. With best wishes for you, your paper and the good people of Creed moor, and Granville County. I am yours truly, J. M. HAYES.

The deed was evidently done last night, as Mr. 'Bowers had removed his shoes and coat and turned down the bed, but had not used it and one shoe was found quite a distanqe away, indicating that something dis placed it. No cause can be given 'for the deed, as there was.no sign of rob- bery and several dollars were found in his pockets. If robbery were the motive," the robbers became fright- ,cncu aiiu ncu, leaving uicuuoi upcu behind them. Mr. Bowers was a peaceable old man arid was not known to have iKtd a singie enemy.

FAT HOG FOR EDITOR IF HE FINDS MAN A WIFE Mountain Home, Ark , Ft. b. 27 (leorge Bodenhamer, widower, and one of the largest hog buyers, ra'sersaud shippers in Baxter coun ty, made an advertising contract with a local newspaper, in which he agreed to give the editor a prime fat, 200 pound hog next fall, if, through the advertising columns of the paper the editor secured lor him a wife by lhal li.ue. The editor, believing in the pulling power of his advertising columns, accepted the offer on the spot. Mr. "Bodenhamer's specifications are very liberal. The requirements are that the wife must be under 40, healthy, a good cook and house keeper, with a sentimental ami lov able disposition. He will not object to a little temper, but does noi want and will not have a spitfire, or any ont who has a nagging disposition. What he wants is a good woman who will make a plesant and con genial home- If she has a little mpney to put into the hog business it will be acceptable, but it (s not necessary. Mr. Bodenhamer owns a good 160-acre farm near that place that is well stocked with hogs. He also has cows, horses, etc. He lias seven children, the oldest 17 years and the yotingest six years. On his side he agrees to keep plenty of rump steak aud other pro visions in the pantry and to main tain the home. Hp is not prejudic ed against widows. He is not bad looking, is 40 years old, healthy, .sober and a man of good morals and reputation. He gives as his reason for advertising for a wife that he is too busy,, to run around the, country looking one up arid go ing through a prolonged courtship. H;is,Msiug advertisin'g space as a S.

Aycock and Injured1 Senator Rivers D Jahnson. The wreck that resulted in the most tragic circumstances of all legislatures of recent years occurred Thursday morning, February, iS, two miles from Raleigh as Mr Wooten, Mr. Aycock and Mi. John son were returning from the Country club in an automobile. Mr Aycock was killed instantly and Mr. Woot en suffered fractured ribs and a rup ture of the right kidney. This lat ter injury was not known until the natural development exposed- the .1 1 condition ot tne patient and an operation followed. He s'ood that well and every day showed improve menf enough to give hope. Thurs day he suffered a chill not known until yesierday when physicians an nounced great danger of pneumonia l'his morning at 2 o'clock definite diagnosis removed all doubt of his strength to last long. Thoughout the day his feeble powers continued to fail him and at noon it became apparent that he could not live through the day. He died painlessly, perhaps the only hour since his injury that has not been one of suffering, though he betraye i itbutseldgm. His mother and wife were with him, as were other relatives. Request was made that the body be placed in state here, but the wish of the family was that the dead speaker be sent to his home. in LaGrange, where the funeral will take place tomomiw. Senatorial and house committees will attend the burial. Mr. Wooten was born in Craven county November a, 1878, and was therefore 36 years old.

At Wake Forest he was prominent in college athletics and was a membet of the baseball team.
