We regret to, announce the
the death of Mrs. B, D. Hamill,
ot Thelma, which occurred at a
hospital in Norfolk last Saturday.
She was taken to a hospital
about two weeks ago for an oper
ation, and while the operation
was thought to be successful at
first, as she improved very much
for two days, she was taken with
lockjaw and died in a short while.
The lemains were brought to
Thelma and interred in the fam
ily burying ground on Monday.
.Mrs. Hamill leaves i devoted
husband and two. children to
mourn their loss. ' She was a
sister of our townsman, Mr. H.

Cliautauquani wilt have so difficult la recalling the musloul headlines
of iniHt ye in on th Chautauqua prograroa. The light operaa, "The Mika
do," "The Chime of Nonnandy," and "Pinafore" have set a high atandanl
which some may tliljik It Will be dlfflcult for hli year's offering to equal and
lnix8ille to lurpati. And ret the Chautauqua management without the
least hesitation annaunces that Reginald DeKoven'a opera "Robin Hod" I
tlio greatest tucceaa which It has trer had the pleasure of offering for tlie
approval of the towns on Ita circuits.
Not only was "Bobln Hood" the Brat musical attempt at legitimate opera
cnmlqtie tiy American author, bat of all the light musical works horn on
this continent since Ita production twenty-eli year ago, It Is the one most
worthy of revival. At Chautauqua this beautiful and tuneful opera will he
produced by a full cast chorus and orchestra. This company will consist of
thirty-five members, each aa Individual artist In bis part and chosen be
cauHP of his ability to Interpret bis special rote. '-
The artistic effect will be greatly heightened by the special coxtumlng
and elaborate scenery which la carried to give the special setting necessary
for Oils production. ' "
One of the features of "Robin Hood" which sever falls' to delight the
audiences Is the unusual collection ot well-known songs which are contain
ed In the score. Some of the most popular hits, among which are no doubt
some of your own personal favorites, are these: - "
Sent Pram "Resin He
Then Hey I for the Merry Q
wood."
"Brown October Ala."
"Come Dream So Bright."
'Tinkers' Chorus."
"Oh, Promise Me."
"Come Away to the Woeds.'
But tuneful music, elaborate costumes and scenery and popular song
hits would not make "Robla Hood" a success If It were not for the fact
that the Chautauqua management baa secured a cast capable ot making
the most' of their cpportunltioe.
These well-known artists Will plajr the leading roles lu "Robin Hond't

RUN OVER BY WAGON
Mr. J. R. Myrick, one of our
local contractors, received very
painful injuries Monday after
noon when a wagon engaged in
hauling for him ran over his
body.
Mr. Myrick was riding on the
wagon occupying a position on
on side between th wheels. He
probably became over-heated
which caused him to fall from
the wagon in a faint, the rear
wheel passing over him before
the driver could stop.
While Mr. Myrick's injuries
were very painful they were
not serious and he is able to be
out.

You probably recall the story
of Mr. Gray, boys! How the
failed on anatomy; how he stud
ied and took examination again:
Failure again and again did not
daunt him until he had taken it
for seven times. By this time
any man with an ordinary
smount of perseverance would
have pitched medicine to him
who could catch it and gone to
plowing; but not so Gray. In
this time he had studied the sub
ject so thoroughly and had found
so much more than the book gave
that he sat down and wrote a
new anatomy. The most excel
lent of ita kind ever written.
It pays to spit on your hands
and take a fresh grip.
Thomas Edison who had set a
car on tire with experiments
while he was a newsy, was an
gered . because the Conductor
pitched him off the car. Many
boys would have "cussed" and
gone off to smoke a cigarette.
Thomas did not He tucked his

ance until be made money
enough for a better situation.
Then he just stepped off and did
not get on again.
Let not him that puttieth his
hand to the plow look backward.'
One day a country school
teacher asked the people to vote
bonds to erect a building that
her pupils might have an equal
opportunity with their friends in
town. Her best friends said she
better not stir up anything like
that; that that community would
never remember a better building
by bonds.
She stuck; bonds were bought,

Benjamin Franklin was on the

He never did. He held on.
Many times success is only ten

One of our foremost preachers
who has done more perhaps to
ward educating youug men for
theBa. ist Ministry than any
other one man in the state. He
said he worked on his father's
'arm and they seemed to get
poorer. He leit that he must go
to school. He hated to leave but
think, boys, of the vast amount
of good he has been able to do
compared with the few paltry
dollars he could have made for
his father. How much more
able was he to care for his father
when he came to need aid in old
age.
Many times this young man
scarcely able to make his way.
He just stuck, had pluck, and
trusted God.
Be sure you're right; then go
ahead. Care not what any man
shall say. It is wonderful what
faith in God and stick to - it-

be frank there is nothing that
can withstand such spirit once
it has taken hold a fellow.
There must be no dividing be

With the nearing summer the
community garden of the Rose.
mary Manufacturing company is
a scene of great activity. Starting
on a small scale the gardens have
been greatly increased to meet
the needs of the employees of
the company. The land is pre
pared for cultivation by the mill
and plotted, one or more plots
being allowed each family ac
cording to their needs.
A great stimulus was given
gardening when the company
erected, for the use of its em
ployees a large modern cannery.
Provided with the most modern
efficient and sanitary equipment
lor the canning, preserving and
drying of fruits and vegetables
a long step is taken to enable the
housewife to practice food con-
servation and economy.
The equipment consists, in
part of two steam preasure re
torts for canning, two dump
scalders for rinsing and blanch
ing vegetables, etc steam heat
ed dehydrator for drying, white
vegetable sheers, fruit parers
and similar labor saving devices
reduce the prepartory work to a
minimum.
This branch of the Rosemary
Manufacturing company's activi
ties which also includes the
children's gardening and tomato
clubs is under the capable direc
tion of Miss Anna Rowe.
Through the winter months Miss
Rowe has conducted the classea
in domestic science, sewing and
similar work in the interests of
the women. As assistant Miss
Rowe will have with her this
season, Miss Mary Powell who
has been with us as principal of
the high school department of
the Roanoke Rapids Graded
schools.
From all indications the
amount of vegetables and fruit
preaesved this year will groatly
exceed the record of last season
about 10,000 cans and one ton
of dried vegetables.
Furthering this work an annex
to the cannery is being built
which is to be used for storace
of potatoes and winter vegetables
Built after the specifications of
the U. S. agricultural department
this will afford proper storage
facilities and enable the people
to save a large quantity of vege
tabes and potatoes which la Inst
through improper storage. ,
