Mr. F. (). Carver was
,:l!r i iipon for a speech, and he
,v.,.,.i;ded to the call in his usual
imp; iy manner. His speech was
uvi! ivreived, ;ind was an effort
uviihy of his splendid reputation
:ts a speaker. At the close of his
.poee ii he placed in nomination
Mr. T. A. Xoell as a candidate for
the House.
At this juncture it" looked as if
there might be some fun brewing,
as one of the delegates asked Mr.
Xoell how he stood on the bond
question. But Mr. Noell was equal
to the occasion, and while he did
not answer directly, his answer
was very adroit and well express
ed, letting himself out of what
looked mighu be an ugly hole. He
stated that, as indicated by the
name, he was for progress, and if
elected he would cast his vote at
all times for what was for. the best
interest of the masses of the peo

factory and there was no further
interruption. . .' ..J?.-.?-. . . .
The convention adjourned with

saying this matter would be left
open for the present.

found dead at 2 o'clock Monday
afternoon. During the morning
he had returned from a Durham
hospital where he had gone three
weeks previously to seek relief
from the inroads of the disease,
pellagra. Despondency over his
futile efforts to secure restoration
to health is assigned as the reason
for his self-destruction. Dr. P.
R. Hardee, of Stem, who had
diagnosed his case, said he had
been suffering witf pellagra three
years.
A rifle shot in" the direction of
his home heard by Roy Walter,
who was on his way to the well
in the yard of Mr. ,Cash, furnish
ed the key leading to the discov
ery of the deed. He reached the
home of Mr. Cash within a few
moments after the fatal shot and
gave the report to the citizens of
the village. Soon a large crowd
congregated, and Coroner W. D.
Bryan, of Oxford was called to
the scene.

Woody, one of Bethei's foremost
workers. He attained a mature
age, leaving behind a record of
long years of faithful, service.
God knows all about his work and
labor of love, his name is written
in the book of His remembrance.
He accepted Christ when quite
young and joined Bethel Baptist
Church, was oneof the original-
members and was one ot the faith
ful until called to another sphere
of action. He had a strong: intel-
ligent faith in Christ and a clear
grasp of its aims and purposes. In
his-church he was a pillar of
strength. To his friends he was
always an inspiration listening
with the sympathy of one who
had come to help and assist. He
was wise and diligent in personal
talks with the young. He pos
sessed one of the gentlest spirits i
ever knew and his thoughtful
kindly nature never left him, ev
en when his steps were passing
into the valfey of the shadow of
death. He was a modest servant
of God and served him faith-
fully.
The impress of this noble life
will not be known until we view

Accident on The Loch Lily Road.
On Last Sunday evening as Mr.
Robert Hambrick, with a party
of young people were going to the
Lake they met Mr. Thomas Buch
anan driving a spiriteu horse to a
buggy, when the horse became
frightened and in some way got
mixed up with" Mr. Hambrick's
car, breaking the leg of the horse.
After examining the horse it was
found that nothing could, be done!bv thP Wesley Class of Roxboro
the Rev. Solomon Lea, from which
school she finished in 1858. In 1869
she was happily married to Lewis
C. Hester of Person County, and
to them were born eight children,
seven of whom are still living. A
few years ago her husband was
taken from her. She bore this
great sorrow bravely.
Mrs. Hester was a quiet woman,
but while of few words, she was
positive and true in her life and
character, and wherever she touch
ed the life of others it was always
her desire to bless it.
In the early spring it was found
necessary to take her to a hospital
for a serious operation. Under this
trying ordeal she was patient, and
when it was known that she could
not recover, she expressed herself
repeatedly as being ready and
willing to go if it was the Load's
will. On the above date God called
her home.
To her children and her home
her going is the greatest loss, but
the community has also lostfrgood
true woman. May the Heavenly
Father comfort those left behind,
and help them so to live that they.,
may get to the home of the good
at last. N. C. Yearby.
