JACKSON SPRINGS Three of the 136 young men to graduate from N. C. State College this week formerly lived in this com munity. They are Charles Wilson, of J Hemp, who graduates in civil engi neering, and John McLeod, of McBee, S. C., and Colon Pegram, of Lincoln- ton, who graduate in agriculture. We hope to see some of this year's high school class of nine boys graduate from college, and are glad to state that some are planning to go to State College for agricultural and engineer ing^ courses. A very interesting meeting was carried out at the school auditorium by the commlinity club, on Tuesday evening. County Agent, Parrot, and Plome Demonsti'ation Agent, Brad ford, were here for their first meet ing with us and made interesting talks. Mrs. Margaret Stutts died at the home of her son at Hoffman on Mon day, and interment was made in the new cemetery here on Wednesday. Mrs. Stutts was reared in this com munity and spent a great part of her life here where she had a large circle of friends. She leaves two sons and one daughter to mourn her loss. Strange to say, Ben Stutts, her husband with whom she had not lived for a number of years died the same week at his home near Norman. He was seen in Norman the early part of the week and had been accustomed to leaving home and spending a few days visiting friends, and was found dead on Friday. Interment was near his home. Mr. Stutts was a native of the Mt. Carmel community in this county and served a few months in the confederate army during the con flict between the states. Friends here were shocked upon receiving the news of the death of Grace, the 13 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Currie, on Satur day. She was carried to the Char lotte Sanatorium for an operation for appendicitis on Friday, and died the following morning at 4 o’clock. She had been sick several days and was carried to the Sanatorium in hopes that her heart might gro^^ stronger, so an operation could be performed. Besides her mother, her cousins. Misses Nola and Monnie Currie, of Candor, who are trained nurses lo cated in Charlotte were with her at the time of her death. Mr. Currie and son, D .F. Currie, of Pinehurst, left immediately, and the latter re turned with Mrs. Currie in the after noon, and Mr. Currie came with the hearse later in the evening. Grace was a very bright child, and her black hair with blue eyes and fair complexion, with a pleasing smile made her very beautiful. Rev. R. G. Matheson, her pastor, conducted a short service at the home on Sun day morning for the benefit of Miss Sarah Currie, her devoted aunt, who was unable to attend the funeral which was conducted by her pastor at the Presbyterian church at noon. About twenty of her class mates from the Derby Memorial school and the Presbyterian Sunday School here carried the flowers that banked the fresh mound made in the family burying plot in the burying ground back of the church. She leaves, to mourn her loss, besides her mother and father, three little sisters and three brothers, and a large number of other relatives and friends who ex tend the deepest sympathy to the family. Among the college boys to come ^ome last week were, Shelton Poole and Eugene McAskill from State Col lege. Others will arrive with the girls in the next few days. Archie McDuffie, of Eagle Springs, who was a student at Atlanta Dental College the past year, called on friends here Sunday. J. E. Jordan, of Bertie county, is spending a few days with his family here. A large number of visitors are ex pected here for the week-end for the opening dance on Saturday night. Mysic will be furbished by) the original Virginia Serenaders. Some of the cottages are already occupied, and the prospects are looking good for the Jackson Springs Hotel, John son and Markham Houses. A copper still was captured and a negro escaped on Thursday on the late M. M. Thomas place west of here, near Drowning Creek. Some criti cism is made by officers letting the men escape from the stills captured, but some appreciate the many visits of Marlettle and others into their section southwest and west of here. Yet the capture of stills is expensive to the taxpayers, and there are al ways another one to take its place. Why not get the ring leaders away from here? Dress Cretonne Voile and Batiste LACES and HANDSOIVIE BLiACK: HATS Bring us your job work. MISS FLORENCE LESLIE THE VASS MILLINERY Servd it to CHEARS SEND US YOUR Watch and Jewelry Repairing by mail; we have a skilled watchmaker who does nothing else, and we are in a position to turn out first class work promptly. Remember us when in need of Watches, Jewelry, Silverware, etc. W. F. CHEARS, Sanford, N. C. The Turn of the Tide The Best Authorities say the business situation has turned the corner; some go so far as to say that a lively gait is over taking the nation and that the greatest real prosperity the country has ever seen is already starting up. You might as well join in with the Hopefuls. Make your noise with the cheerful side of your mouth. Tell the folks the Siandhills is all right, and getting more so. It is what we think that leads to what we do. Nothing in the world the matter with this part of the state now, IS THERE? EDGENOORE HEIGHTS Is going to be a Great Opportunity. ISN’T IT? If you are not ready to get in on that chance, tell your neighbors about it. FRANK BUCHAN, Southern Pines, S. B.
