On Tuesday evening: just as tht

to t)ie world beyond.
Mrs. Brooks was born June 3
1350, making her 72 years old. H.er?
woe a long and useful life. She lived
to see her nine chidren groWt
nnd married, except Dr.. Elberi
Brooks of Burlington,'who is a Verj
popular physician of that city connected
with the IJospital at that place
She leaves behind her to nrbuyn hei
loss four boys and five girls'and hei
devoted husband, Charles C. Bfddks
Her children are as follows: David
S. Brooks, wlJj has been connected
with the Peoples Bank of Roxborc
for some time, C. Lester Brooks, a

W. T. 'Carver, Mrs. Geo. M. Fox, Jr.
all of the foregoing are of Brooksdale,

Sh<* was a devoted wife and faith-i

She was a woman who lived a quiet

vipes from-the home Thursday, August
3rd, 1922, and laid her away
amidst a-large concourse of freinds
and relatives. The floral offering was
perhaps . the most beautiful I have
ever seen. The large o^jjc^rse of
friends who followed her tol.'?r last

popularity and the high--esteem in
which she was held by all who knew
her. .
It is perhaps the saidest hour that
ever comes to a son-or dfuigoter when
Mother leaves.. However, it comes to
all alike and almost every one has to
puss through that trying" ordeal.
There is cne comforting tlhught that

"* Remarkable Contrast.
k In contrast to'the shouts of buy.

Get Out Ycur ESrked Peach Limb
and Certification.
We remember when one .wanted to
dig a-well he^first got him a fojked
;>ea?!' limb and marched nbeut the
grounds where he wanted to dig a
'well and watched for the downward
curve of the .limb, thus locating the
spot?whexeT( he wofrM find water. The
question of water had been one of
the serious matters at tlJ> Jackson
Training * School, and, just as here,
the geological experts said there was
np, water under such formation, but
the old forkel peach limb s^ij te the
I contrary. Result: Read what brother
Jim Cook, of the Uplift says:
"In spite of diagnosis of Dr. ,
Collier Cobbf^fn outstanding geological
expert of North Carolina and
our University, \ye have struck an
abundance of water at the.institution.
The problem of a sufficient supply of
water fcr our reeds has been a perplexing
-one. _J
Rut we had faith in old mother
earth; and, knowing that*: science
sometimes slips a cog, wg_; proceeded
to drive a well at a favorably.spot on
this* ridge?a spot that : a\ forked
peacH limb gave a hearty "certification"?with
this marvelous result:
| The well is an right inch punohod
hole, one hundred and ninety-six feet
i deep. It gees through bowlder after
bowlder, the prevailing rock on this
; ridge. Til's is the test Aug. 2:-After
the pump had been running continuously
for twelve hours, the well pro- r .
duced seventy-five gallons of water
per minute and the water seemed not ;
i-tj be lowered at all in the well. Sev- .'
| enty-five gallons of water per minute
|-for a ten-hour day amounts to 45,000
J gallons?enough for all cur purposes.
jGloryi . .
K The, forked peach limb has giyei
ja black eye tc geology, so'far as lo
taring water in tne eartij. L?ame see
| this marvel. Dr. Cobb." .
