MEMORIAL DAY.
The Old Vets Enjoy Another
Day with the Daughters.
On Monday memorial exercises
were held here. Dr. D. ' H. Hill;
President of A. & College, de
livered the address, and we do not
hesitate to say it was easily, , one of
the very fLest ever1 heard here.
There were songs by the choir
which, of course, were much en
joyed. . . i
- After the address the Old Vets
with their wives and. a few invitj
ed friends gathered at the Plantl
ers Warehouse and enjoyed a din
ner prepared for them by the
Daughters of the Confederacy. It
was a feast in deed and truth, and
after all had been cared for more
than half of the good things were
left.
, Each year there is some face
which is conspicuous by its ab
sence, and this occasion was no
exception. Every year a number
of these noble old men are called
to their reward, and the number
of Camp Jones grow smaller. The
attendance on this occasion was
smaller than for several years,
there being only about sixty five
present.
It is beautiful to see the considr
eration shown these Old Vets by
the Daughters. Also by others.
Mr..M. R. Long, one of . the pro
prietors of the Princess Theatre
announced to them that a Confed
erate badge would admit them at
any and all times, and asked that
they visit the Princess of ten where
they would receive a cordial - wel
come.
T. C. M alone Moves.
Ir. T. Malone, who has
made his home here for the past
two years representing the Me
tropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany, has been promoted to
Deputy Superintendent of a
district, left Saturday morning
for Henderson, N. C, where he
will make his home in the fu
ture. His family will move
the latter part of the week. Mr.
Malone has made quite a show
for the Metropolitan in Roxboro
and Person County. His many
friends here hope for. Jiim much
success in his new home.
The Metropolitan- will place
another agent here to fill the!
vacancy of Mr. Malone.

Good Seasons
This section was blessed with
splendid rains last Friday. It
was a fine season and probably
more tobacco has been planted
than on a single season in many )
years. The farmers have not for
gotten the past season, when it
remained , so dry in May that
many of them were unable to get
out their crop.
