On Tuesday evening: just as tht sun was sinking behind . the westerr Ulls the spirit of Mrs. EmnTa-Patter ton Brcoks took its eternal flight 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 farmeip; Irvin Brooks, a farmer, Mrs W. T. 'Carver, Mrs. Geo. M. Fox, Jr. all of the foregoing are of Brooksdale, N. C. Mrs. Ruth Gates of FJoxboro, Mrs. Eugene Long of Burlington, N. C., and Mrs. Oscar Dixon oi Mullins, S. C.

She also leaVes t\V3 sisters and one brother, Mrs. Jbhnie Brooks and Mrs. O'Brian of this County and Cicero Tapp of .Raeford. Sh<* was a devoted wife and faith-i ful mother, nlway looking well after the welfare of lJir children, they can rise up and say Blessed. . She was a woman who lived a quiet life, very unassuming in her manner, always ready to aid and assist those who were in trouble. * The writer, assisted by Elder Herndon of the Primitive Baptist Church. Durham, an! Rev. J. B: Hulcy, pastor of Edgar Long Memorial CUarch, Roxboro, conducted the funeral ser? 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 Testing placer- was evidence of her 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 as the family decreases here it is increasing In the ether world. . It i^ hard to stand by and look into the face .of Mother . when death comes. But when that is ever and we all get H>me then we will not have to see our loved "ones suffer any more. . May her children and devoted husband have the sustaining grace that ccmes from the grea.t fountain head of the universe be showered upon them in this lJjur of sadness. Goodbye Mother and wife until that morning when Christ- comes in _Hij glory with the Holy angels with Him. where the famiiy ties that Have been broken here will again be reunited and the*family will again enjoy that sweet peace and joy and love and ffienrjship which will never ag-a:n be bi'Ok^ll US Hiu Angels make music around the throne of Qod tl?. ughout the ages of all eternity Christ who is the life and.resurrec tion of those \jdio fall asleep in Him comfort. an?^n>ftss the bereaved loved ones^ethis sad hoar, UFA".

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.
