She was the daughter of Stephen W. and Elizabeth Prances Glenn. She was laid to rest in the family cemetery amid a con course of relatives and friends. Her flowers were beautiful and numberous. Her life was a life of beauty, always bearing her afflictions with patience, always looking on the bright side of everything. Her life was an exemplary one and to know her was to love her. Oh, how we will miss her. I feel that I have lost a very dear friend. As I think of her I think of those dear smiles she would always greet you with. Always so kind and af fectionate to every one. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the bereaved ones, but He knew best. He wants the sweatest and best for himself. Oh, Father, make us submissive to thy will. May we be drawn in a clos er relationship with Thee. May we DR. R. J. PEARCE Optometrist Eyes Examined ? ? Glasses Fitted Thomas & Carver Bailding Roxboro, N. C. MONDAYS ONLY 10 A. M. to 5 P. M.

The mounting toll of fatal accidents with automobiles have caused many to express a fear of travelling in such vehicles. But progress comes not as a result of fear but of a boldness temp ered with a serious and thoughtful consideration. Had there never been any one bold and courageous enough to give the "horseless carriage" a trial, we would never have had automobiles. But since there is an ever present streak of daring in the most of us, we now speed down the highways in luxurious carriages that far exceed anything that two generations ago ever dremed of. But that doesn't deny the fact that there are too many, entirely too many, lives being wiped out in automobile wrecks now. Do wo want to retrogress to the day when there were no au tomobiles and go back to horse-pulled method of travel? It is the opinion of the majrity that such is not the in clination of the age. But ovbiously the highways of America must be made safer to travel on or a few years might see few people left to travel them. As road coditions improved automo bile manufacturers improved their product to meet the demands of the times. As hard-surfaced highways came into general use the demand for greater speed increased, until now a car must be able to do 60. 70 or 80 miles an hour before it will even be Into Royal Family m im P.AAH LONDON ... A new photograph of Lady Alice Scott who on November Bth, is to become the bride of H. R. H. The Duke of Glouchester, son of King George and Queen Mary. It is to be a Westminster Abbey wedding.. considered by the buying public. It must have speed, pep, stamina, and easy-riding comfort to create a de sire for it. Why not cut down on the speed somewhat and see if that doesn't help the accident situation? Fear isrt't go ing to get us very far for the auto mobile is here and more and more be comes a vital necessity in the life of the American people. We used to have speed limits and folks used to pay much attention to them, but now they skedaddle over the highways with very little regard to speed limit laws, a statute that has almost become a dead letter on the satute books. Should the manufacturer begin to make his cars to run at a little less high rate of speed and pay some more attention to its peppiness and Its lasting qualities, we might be get ting somewhere in solving one of the major accident problems in our coun try. It is generally admitted that fifty miles an hour, five miles above the present speed limit in North Caro lina, will get you there quick enough, so why not manufacture cans that won't run but at about that speed and put the excess speediness into more lasting qualities that will make the life of an automobile much longer than at present? n In Memory Of My Dear Mother On October 20, 1935 at 5:00 A. M. God called mother, Mrs. Pattle Vaug han, to complete his holy band. We all loved mother but God loved her best. We will miss you mother, for you were all the world to us. We will miss your smiles and your voice, mother, we hope on that peaceful shore we will meet again never more to part. The funeral services were conduc ted by Rev. J. Hartz Monday even ing at 4:00 P. M. She was laid to rest at Providence Church. She leaves to mourn two daughters, Mrs. Ida Mil 13 and Miss Ollie Vaughan, and three sons, Willie, Walter and Jessie all of J along. She is sleeping, sweetly sleeping in a new made grave today. While we are weeping, sadly weeping, for their loved one who was taken away. Her gentle voice and tender smile will be missed in our home. But the Lord giiveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Written by one who loved her best, her son, Walter Vaughan. o "NEW DEAL" GENIUS Visitor to Art Gallery ? Well, that painting seems to be intended to be a a picture of a cow. But it don't look any more like a cow than I do. Artist Friend ? Yes ? but that's the way they are painting cows now.
