IN MEM0RIAM Whereas it has pleased the eternal God, the ruler of the uni verse, the giver of all good gifts and graces, to remove irom us our worthy Sovereign and broth er, we bow in most humble sub mission to the will of Him that doeth all things well Therefore, Be it resolved: That in the death of Sovereign Williams our lodge has lost one of its strongest co-partners, be ing the most efficient Counci Commander, the best yersed sov ereign and so long as his haalth would permit was found at his post of duty, in his lodge, in hi church and at his work. He was an honored christain citizen hav- ing the respect and confidence of all who knew him and we believe the ctrairunity at large mourns with us the passing of this good man. Sovereign Williams was only thirty-nine years of age and might have served us longer had he not been called to greater duties on high. He is gone from our midst we shall fetl the hearty clasp of his manly hand and hear his voice as council commander teaching Woodcraft on earth no more. He has put away the beetle and wedge, he laid aside the axe and has gone, let us hope, as a delegate to the supreme lodge above to dwell with the great God and his angles. And may his widow and loved ones not mourn his gain. W. C. Williams W. H. Roberta . W.

In 1914 the President of the United States issued a proclamation proclaim ing the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day which has been observed each year since; its ob servance demanding some act of kindness, gift or tribute in re membrance of the mother. To properly observe Mother's Day you must if your mother is living wear a red carnation or rose and either viBit or write her. If your mother is dead you should wear a white carnation or rose. Bible Class Plans Extensions At a very interesting service under the auspices of the Tues day Night Men's Bible class last week, Mr. H. G. McDonald, the organizer and present teacher of the class, disclosed the fact that lie has a vision of widening use ! fulness of the class in the capac- tv ot an agency to assist in do. ing charity work in the town. This class has quite a remark able career behind it. and it is hoped that it may be successful in enlarging the held of its use fulness. Men who are not at tendants of any Sunday school often meet with the class in its regular meetings for thestuty of God s word. COMMUNITY BETTERMENT LEAGUE TO MEET MONDAY The second regular meeting of the Roanoke Rapids Community Betterment League will be held at 3:30 P. M. Monday, May 12, in the auditorium of the Central Graded School. This time a lec ture will be delivered by a mem ber of the faculty of the State Normal College. His desire that every one interested in the wel fare of the community be present, 'APPniNTrm it rirro for gaston township Mr. B. M. Pugh was appointed list taker for Gaston Township, Northampton county, last Mon day. Mr. Pugh is publishing listing places, but in view of the fact that the listing begins next Mon day he urges all property owners to endeaver to acquaint them selves with his schedule. Baptiata to Build New Houm of Worship Encouraged by a proposed do nation by the Roanoke Mills Company, Roanoke Rapids Bap tist church has decided to under take the erection of a new house of worship. A very excellent corner lot on the east side of Roanoke Avenue, half way be tween the Presbyterian and Episcopal churches, has been se cured. It was desired not to move quite so far from the site of the present church, but it was found necessary to do this in order to get a corner lot It is believed, however, that the day is not far distant when the new site will be in the midst of a thickly settled community as the town is now growing rapidly in that direction. Through the kindness and generosity of Mr. S. F. Patterson, a handsome pipe organ is to be installed in the new church. Other dona tions are also being made by people outside of the membership of the church, all of which gives great encouragement to the mem bership to put forth their best efforts to build a house commen surate with the prospects of the needs of our rapidly growing town. An Education De Luxe A great opportunity is being offered by the United States Marine Corps in the way of re ceiving a triple education. A man enlisting in this branch of the service goes to the Re cruit Depot and takes his course in Military training which fits him to do the duties of a United States Marine. While he is re ceiving this training, he has a chance to attend school at the training station and take any course he prefers in the way of a regular education. After he has completed his training, he starts on the greatest education al period of a mans life, travel. There . is nothing that will broaden a man's mind more than to travel in foreign lands and mingle with the people of the countries that he visits, and the Marine Corps gives this oppor tunity. Many men who have en listed in the Marine Corps have travelled in as many as twenty ioreign countries, and when a Marine completes his three courses in the Marine Corps, he has something to be proud of, Some of our greatest and most successful business men claim that the experience they had as "soldiers of the sea" made them what they are today. Young men who are just start ing out in the world to make their way should consider this matter before they settle down to the routine of business life The Marine Corps maintains its own recruiting service and no other branch of the service can enlist men for Marines. You can apply at any Marine recruit ing station or through your local postmaster. CHAUTAUQUA GUARANTORS TO MEET MAY 21 The attention of Chautauqua Guarantors of . the Rosemary uoanoKe Kapids unautauqua is called to the approaching visit of Miss Maxwell, a representa tive of the Chautauqua Associa tion of Pennsylvania on Monday May 21, at which time a meeting of said guarantors will be held It is very important that all guarantors be present at this meeting.
