Johnson, formerly of Scotland Neck. Mrs. Fannie Hoffman. Mrs. Fannie Hoffman, widow of the late Max Hoffman, who for many years was one of the first business men of Scotland Neck, died at her home in Roanoke, Virginia, on the fif h of April. The body was taken to Petersburg, Va., where it was interred in the Rodef Sholom cemetery. Petersburg was the for mer home of Mrs. Hoffman, Messrs. Max and Gerson Hoffman coming to Scotland Neck from there. The de ceased before her marriage was Miss Fannie Oppenheimer, daughter of the late G. Oppenheimer, of Peters burg, and sister of Moses Oppen heimer, formerly of Scotland Neck, now of Rocky Mount. The deceased was well known here and had many friends who bitterly regret her death. Her husband, the late Max Hoffman, was one of the biggest retail merchants in this county. He was a member of the original firm of M. Hoffman & Bro., Scotland Neck, N. C. Beginning business over thirty years ago with scant capital and meager store space, Messrs. Max and Gerson Hoffman built up one of the largest mercan tile firms in this section of the State. The deceased is survived by the following seven children: Messrs. David, Gus, Claude Hoffman and Mrs. Carl Davidson, all of Roanoke; Messrs. Samuel and Emanuel Hoff man, of Scotland Neck, and Mrs. Samuel Weiser, of Norfolk. She is also survived by one brother and one sister. Mrs. Moses Oppenheimer of Rocky Mount, and Mrs. A. Gross, of Philadelphia, Pa. Mrs J. Den Burgess. On last Tuesday morning, April 20th, about 9:30 o'clock, Mrs. Ben Burgess died. She was 53 years of age. For many years Mrs. Burgess hid been in feeble health though she had been able to be up and about the home. Her condition was not considered serious until 10 o'clock Monday night when she be came very ill. Every effort was made to relieve her but to no avail. Her death was peaceful and serene. Mrs Burgess and her husband had been married about a third of a century and she is survived by her husband and six children Lester Burgess, John Burgess, Miss Kate Burgess, Mrs Jim Allsbrook, Miss Nora Burgess, and Master Joe Bur gess. In 1800 Mrs Burgess along with her husband united with the Scot land Neck Baptist church in a meet ing conducted by Dr. Hufham at Mullens scnool house, one ever tried to live a christain life and for years was an attendant upon church services, but in recent years she was kept from service by impaired health. She was a devoted wife and a loving mother and her going leaves a long gap in the life of her family. The funeral services were con ducted at the residence on Wednes day afternoon by Rev. R. A. McFar land and her remains followed by a multitude of friends were taken to the Baptist cemetery and then en tered to await the resurrection morn. The many friends of Mr. Burgess sympathize with him and Iris family in their sad loss. For their sympathy and ior the many kindness and courteous share them by their many friends, Mr. Burgess and his family beg to ex nress their sincere thanks. Death cf Miss Sally Hale. Halifax, N.

Paul Holland. Death is always sad but it i peculiarly so when it is a young per son that has to give up life In the death of Paul Holland, the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Holland, we have a striking instance of this. He died last Friday afternoon, April 23rd, at the age of twenty-five. It had been known for several months that his health was fai ing, and it was feared that his trouble might become serious, but no one. not even his nearest relation, thought death was so near at hand. On the day prior to his death he was in town, and, though feeble was able to be looking after of his business. Paul Holland was an honest, straight-forward, business-like and kind hearted young man. He was a favorite in his circle of friends, and was loved by the members of his family for his genuine worth and true nobility. The 'shock of his death brought painful sorrow to many hearts and especially to his parents, brothers and sisters who have the sympathy of a host of friends. The funeral services were con ducted on Saturday afternoon by Elder It. A. MeFarland, pastor of the Scotland Neck Baptist Church, and his body was interred in the Kehukce Cemetery. The many and varied floral offerings gave evidence of his popularity. The members of the bereaved family wish to thank most heartily their friends and neighbors for the flowers and their many other thoughtful couitesies shown in this the hour of their sad bereavement.

HERRING Telephone i -2-4 Balance Wheel Ran a Muck. - The Balance wheel on the Chandler & Price job press in the Common- 1 weallh,ffice ran off Frday morn ing and S. A. Robertson, who a few days ago completed moving the machinery in the printing office, came in at a side door just in time to meet the big wheel, which after running into a gaily rack and pie ing about a bushel of type fell upon Mr. Roberson's foot, breaking his toe. Mr. Roberson will be incap acitated for several days. The damage done by the runaway balance wheel, other than the in jury to Mr. Roberson, will be con siderable, as the type pied is worth less than it will cost to get it in shape for the printers, and will therefore have to be shipped to the foundry and disposed of as old metal. Death of Leslie Kale. Enfield, April 27. Fiiday nisiht, April 23, 1915, the death angel visit ed the home of Mr. J. R. Halo and took away his fifteen year old son Leslie Hale. Leslie was taken to his bed on April 14th, with typhoid fever t;nd he was sick such a short time that his death was tpaite a shock to his many friends and relatives. He was loved by all who knew him. He was always kind and obe dient to his parents. He was given all the attention that loving hands could give, but the Lord knew best, and so he called him to dwe 11 above with him, where there is no tickness, pain nor death, but sweet peace. Leslie was a sweet Chiistian, though not yet a member of any church. He wpnt to church and Sunday school whenever he could. Leslie leaves a mother, father and six brothers to mourn his departure. He was buried in the Nahalah cem etery. We loved him yes we loved him, But Jesus loved him more ; And so he sweetly called li.m, Unto the thining shore. We had a little trensure once, He was our joy and pride; We loved him ah! perhaps too well. For soon he slept and died. AH is dark within our dwelling, Lonely are our hearts today ; For the one we loved so dearly, Has for ever passed away. Our hearts are sad and eh ! how much. No tongues can never tell ; For a place is vat-ant in our home, Which never can be filled. Jusus called him, yes, he called him, To join the angel band ; And bent down over his bed, And clasped our darling's hand. A Loving Friend, I'attie Lewis.
