The Patterson Mills . ; ; Company Closed Two Days AND MONDAY LOOKED LIKE CHRISTMAS ROANOKE RAPIDS PERSONAL AND LOCAL ITEMS Cotton Today 29 3-4 ' The community did not stop to "reason why", but patriotically obeyed the orders of the National Fuel Administration, all plants using fuel for power purposes closing down from Friday until .Wednesday morning. The Rose mary Manufacturing Company, the Halifax Paper Corporation, and the Roanoke Fibre Board Company- ekwed for the entire five day period. The Patterson Hills Company operated Friday and Saturday under the con struction placed upon the Fuel "ruling by State Administrator MeAIister. but closed down Uonday on account of receiving contrary construction of the ruling from the National Fuel Administration at Washington. The Roanoke Mills Company operated straight through, under the ruling of the State Admini stration. .The last two plants used coal only for heating purposes, being operated by direct water and hydfo-electrlc power. On Thursday the State Admin titration practically reversed its former ruling and it is probable, although not definitely known at this writing, that all plants regardles .or how they are ooerated. will be required to close fWhe nine remaining Mon days. The Local Fuel Administra torhas taken thequestion up with the State Administration and a 'definite decision; from him will be received on Friday morning. ' The Monday closing order, affecting not only manufactur ing plants, but all businesses excepting food and drug stores, banks and trust companies, was . literally observed here. Nobody maintained heat and the majority elosed their places of business entirely, although a few hardy touls braved the rigors of the weather man and tried to tough 1 it out without fires.

I thank you for space and privilege to publish in your valu able paper a full account of the sickness and death of my good wife. Mrs. J. D. Shearin. In September, after the birth of our baby on July 2nd. she visited the revival at New Hope. She looked the picture of health only she complained of what we thought to be some form of in digestion. Doctors" Pierce and Morehead treated her. The latter part of November she began having vomiting spells and be fore December 12th she could not retain any nourishment Dr. I Morehead told me that he thought it was G astro-Carcinoma (Can cer), I asked him what was the best thing to do and he suggest ed taking her to Johns Hopkin's Hospital in Ba timora. We went toNorfolk, were she was examin ed by Dr. Ruffin. He said that there were ninety-nine chances against her if it was G astro-Carcinoma and wouldn't advise an operation, stating that it was useless. I asked Dr. Ruffin if he didn't think there might be ten chances in her favor, he said there might be, he wished he could think so. Placing hope in the one chanct-, I hurried on to Johns Hopkin's. Arriving there the doctors began examination, they decided it was Carcinoma and that an operation could only make her last days more com fortable and insisted that the operation should take place at once. In consultation with my wife, she wanted to see her children before she was operated on I brought her home and after three days she bade her children good bye and went back for the operation. After the operation she retained her nourishment and for a few days got along nicely and said she felt able to sit up. After three or four days Blood Clots in the veins set in. Doctors Leavenworth, Bloomfield, Bachelor, Kelly, Holmes, and Dan by seemed to be alarmed but stated that they were doing all they could. She asked me to take her home, while wondering how and what to do (Oh Marlburg Room No. 411, 1 never will for get!) Dr. Morehead unexpectedly entered, and after discussing her condition Dr. Morehead told her he had come to assist her home. He helped me arrange a comfort able way and we reached home Friday morning, January 4th. It was so gratifying to see her so glad to reach home and recogniz ing all of her children. She passed away Monday at 5 P. M. January 7th as peacefully and easily as a child going to sleep. She said she didn't mind death as much as she did leaving her children. All that loving hands and skilled physicians could do was done. The nurses were very kind and attentive to her. I never saw a Hospital be fore, but surely one of this type is the place for sick people. She was of the kindest disposi tnn andwnue ner affliction wa3 painful, she bore it with patience. She loved her Church and would dress up her children with pleas ure for Sunday School and Ser vices. She leaves her mother, Mrs. W. II. Harrison, one brother, Mr. W. F. Harrison, two sisters, Mrs. T. C. Shaw and Mrs. Hannibal Shearin and ten chil dren. We miss her homely smiles and untiring efforts to pleaseand stand with heads bowed in grief beneath the chastening)rod as the poet has said. In this hour of grief and p"in, may we lean upon our God. I wish to thank here Dr. Morehead for his kind at tention and also state my ap preciation of the letters of friend ship and sympathy received from my friends.

For the information of the public the Local Exemption Board for Halifax county desires to state it is making heroic effort toproperly classify all registrants. We are instructed that in order to save the married men we should scrutinize with great care i those cases claiming deferred classification on account of de pendent relatives. In these we have a mess of ridiculous claims and because of this we may over look some with meritorious claim. The Board classifies on Ques tionaire and the public is invited to furnish thp Hoard additional information when it appears the classification is in error. Either for or against the registrant In this State, under strict in terpretation of the regulations, we will have very few in the second and third class. On Jan uary 12, at a meeting of all Chair men of the State, it was decided to place married men, without children, in the second class, in order that there might be some men between those of the first class and those of the fourth class, and if married have to be taken those with dependent families may be deferred.
