rD about. TowN During the past week, two of the j oldest and best known men In .the County have passed away, these he-j lng Mr. J. W. Younger "and Mr. X?wls H. Daniel. These men were) representatives of two of the most | outstanding families In the County, j and their places will be hard to fill. They were nofc politicians in any] sense, but they were men. who al-1 ways had the interest of their neigh bor at heart, and somehow, we kinderjfeel that when old St. Peter heard their knock at the door that he opened It wide for their ad mittance. Our postmaster, Dr. Tucker, and by the way, he Is making a most acceptable postmaster, "says he is going .to keep the post office open for business all day on next Satur day, so that you .will have no In convenience in ma 11 in g your Christmas packages. However, he advises all to mall theif packages Just as early as possible and thus secure their safe arrlyal' before Christmas-morning. You know,' a Christmas present received the' day after Christmas never (strikes you Just exactly right, kinder have the feeling that It was a seoond thought. That old saying "Efery day will be Sunday by and by," does not haft way appeal to the merchant like It would if every week was Christmas week?or the week before. Every store here has put on extra force-to take care of your wants this week, and still, sometimes you have to wait some, little bjt before you can be, waited on. But come on, they have Just the things you are Vraht " lng, tod they declare, and we be- j b%y lieve It, that you can not bfer the same goods anywhere for less. Any way, try them before running off and spending your money and helping to pay.the tax of some neighboring city. ? o Semora Newsi ?- ?e Miss Olivia Gate Wood of Purley, N.

Jr. CHRISTMAS PACKAGES FEDERAL BUILDINGS SCHOOL FLOOR COLLAPSES Hie spirit of Christmas is in the air. Everybody is' hustling around trying to do a week's work in one or two days; but everybody is smil ing. because next Tuesday is the day of days, it is The Holiday Sea son of the year. There has Been quite a myth built up around a stout old fellow With ajnlly-srfifleT who-goes?around?tfi? world on Christmas-Eve night distributing gifts and good cheer to all the folks. The same, sort of myth has been built [around the administration; the. government, say a lot of people, can cure any of our national ills; march with Roosevelt to prosperity. We might re-name him "The Santa ?Claus of America," but he'can suc ceed in doing his Job only if he has cooperation from us. .Santa Claus, we know, cannot possibly get till oyer the world in ope night, even in this day of spede, nor can the presi dent lead the march back to com plete and sound recovery unless we fall in and do our share. , The North Carolina legislators and the School Commisison are: to be congratulated on their foresighted ness when they insisted that the auditoriums in school buildings be op the first floor. This was em phasized last week when we read in the dailies a news story of the col lapse of. a school auditorium that was located on the second floor. This happened in a northern state and at the time the room was crowded with spectators and students there to witness the graduation exercises of the school. Many were injured in Arriving Daily New Style "1935 Models" We are buying direct from some of the largest factories manufacturing furniture ? j i' and getting the newest styles at ? the low est prices we have ever bought, fprniture!

W. Pass &Son ? ? ' Rofcboj-o, North Carolina ?? ? the collapse, It has been the pleasure of the writer to be stopped tin the street and have people tell him that they enjoy reading these weekly discus sions Thanks folks* it is appre ciated. We have tried to make this an Intelligent discussion on affairs that are of interest to all of us. whether, they be st&te or national. - But sometimes 't frfhiyyvs ut to t^rn to things that are waiting to be done here In our own commun ity. Congress meets now soon. Veni sections cf the country ar^ getting new federal ball dings to house such things as the po6t-offlce. why cant Roxboro get what she has never had. a Federal building? As. long as we can remember the post office here has been moved from place to place, so much so that one generation does not know whether to train the next generation to go to the same place for the mall or not. Ip most communities the post officeAs the center of the town f the gathering place,-but'not so Roxboro. Th^ location is not bad, nor is the building to be complained of, but it is beyond our powers of reasoning to 'see through'the indifference with which we are passing up this oppor j tunlty to have a nice. Federal build ing erected here in Roxboro. We i do not mean to be greedy, but it Is cn such public works projects as these that the administration bases Its hopes to point the-way to recov ery, and it would be our duty to chll Frank Hancbck's attention to this most obvious of needs right here In his own district, or If necessary we can appeal direct to the admin istration. Let's see what can be done. - LEWIS HEATH DANIEL Born Feb. 9, 1850. Died Per 14 193A, grn ^rf-rrpofge Heath Daniel and Mary A. Lunsford Daniel. Married Sallle A. Barnett, "who preceded him 18 years ago. Children: Bessie Heath Daniel; 'Mrs. E. L. Cloyd, of State College .Station, Raleigh. Two grandchildren, E. L. Cloyd, Jr., and Anne Daniel Cloyd. His oldest sister, Mrs Paschall Lunsford, of Durham, died many years ago. Another sister, Mrs. Hugh Barnett, of Roxboro, died three 'years ago. Ancestors among the vefy earliest settlers of Person Conmm. They came to Jamestown, V&g in 1632, and migrated to Person County fol lowing the Jamestown rebellion. I They first settled on Flat River, near ithe place where Barton's Mill ?ow stands. In 1834 Leyis. Heath Dan iel, grandfather of Mr. Daniel, Bought an old home between Flat River Church and Payne's Tavern. It was there that Mr. Daniel was born nearly eighty-five years ago; and it was there that he passed away^ in the same room in which J he was bom. ? In 1926 he suffered a stroke of paralysis, but rallied from that at tack. Nearly six years ago, he was stricken again, and had been an in valid ever since. Mr. Daniel had a very keen sense of humor and a wonderful memory. jHis greatest delight was to tell of ' "old times" to an Interested au dience. He and Mr. A. R. Foushee were always great friends, and they perhaps knew more of the unwrit ten history of Person.'County than any other men whoever lived here. Mr. Foushee published* his "Remin iscences" and Mr. Daniel contribut ed a number of articles to The Courier and The progressive Farm er under the title "i Remember." The following lines are expressive of his quiet, peaceful philosophy: "I do not know Where falls the seed that I haye tried to sow With greatest care; ; But I shall know The meaning of each waiting hour below, Sometime, somewhere! I do not look I Upon the present, nor In nature's .books To read my fate; But I do look For promised blessings in God's holy book; And I can wait."?Contributed.
