REBECCA BLUE OF CANERON DEAD Was Widow of Lieut. John A. Blue, of the Confederate Army (J. McK. H.) Mrs. Rebecca Blue of Cameron, passed away at the C. C. Hospital on Friday, May the 8th, in her seventy- eight year. She was the older daughter of Major Dougald, and Betsy Jean McNeill McDougald, and was born and reared in what is now a part of the town of Cameron. The site of location being the present home of Mr. J. E. Phillips. Her father was a large land holder, and owned many slaves. At that time the town of Cameron—that now is—was under cultivation, and owned by Maj. Mc- Dugald. Mrs. Blue was the widow of Lieu tenant John A. Blue, who was killed in the battle of “The Wilderness,” in the war between the States. At the age of seventeen, she was left a widow with a baby daughter, and lived for some time with her father in-law, Archibald Blue, at the place liow known as the Blue old home stead near Southern Pines. She was living there at the time Sherman’s (Continued on page 8) SPRAY YOUR DEWBERRIES Dr. Leiby Says Now is the Time —Bordeaux Mixture is Farmer’s Friend NOORE COUNH SUNDAY SCHOOLS At Methodist Church at Vass Saturday and Sunday May 16th and 17th From officers of Moore County Sun day School Association comes the in formation that all indications point to a record breaking attendance at the annual County Sunday School Con vention, which meets at the Methodist Church, Vass, on Saturday and Sun day, May 16th and 17th. Among the prominent speakers on the program will be Mr. D. W. Sims, General Superintendent North Caro- (Continued on page 8) Dewberries that have not been sprayed with the Bordeaux mixture thus far this season should be so treated at once, advises Dr. R. W. Leiby of the Peach Insect Laboratory at Aberdeen. The Bordeaux mixture controls the anthracnose disease of the berry which is responsible for their failure to color uniformily at ripening and causes the berries to rot while in transit. A^icultural authorities have demonstrated that the anthracnose disease is readily con trolled by the Bordeaux mixture, the spray preventing the development of the disease rather than curing the leaves and fruit of the disease once they become infected with the or ganism causing the injuries. Spraying with Bordeaux mixture has been found profitable by a number of dewberry growers in the past two seasons, and according to Dr. Leiby, it will not be long before all dewberry grower*? will spray their vines regu larly with the Bordeaux mixture just as the peach growers now spray regularly for the curculio and brovm rot. In addition to controlling di seases, the Bordeaux mixtures has been found to stimulate the growth of tomatoes, eggplants, and irish po tatoes; and the same will very likely he found true when it is applied to dewberries. The Bordeaux mixture should be made according to the 3-4-50 formula. Three pounds of blues tone are dis solved in 25 gallons of water by sus pending it over night in a sack just under he surface of the water. The 4 pounds of stone lime is slacked sep arately in a small quantity of water and ^hen strained to remove the coarser particles. Water is then added tx) the lime water to make 25 gallons. The lime water and bluestone water are then poured together in a third barrel and their combination results (Continued on page 8) Friday and Saturday will be the closing night of the Carolina Theatre at Pinehurst and at Southern Pines respectively and the sequel to “The Riders of the Purple Sage” has been selected for the closing show. The sequel of “The Riders of the Purple Sage” is brought out in “The Rainbow Trail,” and with Tom Mix and Tony in there doing their stuff it is easy to see there will be no dispute over the colorful qualities of the picture. In the earlier film the star is imprisoned in a valley which has been hemmed in on all sides by an avalanche. In the succeeding picture Mix plays the nephew of the imprisoned Lian— and his task is to reach and rescue him if possible. Mix doesn’t waste any time. Right at the start he gets down to business of exploiting thrills—and by the time the film has run its course a full quota of exciting scenes has been caught by the camera. To give you an idea of how Mix puts it over we will tell you that he is dragged for miles by a wild horse over cactus covered country, plunges through deep snow without the aid of snowshoes, and hauls himself hand-over-hand up a high cliff. “The Rainbow Trail” is Zane Grey at his best, and for real honest-to- goodnes, wild and wooly melo-drama this author scarcely has a peer. With the virile Tom Mix prominently impli cated in the action, it seems almost unnecessary to remark that the sequel to “The Riders of the Purple Sage” is melo-drama with a punch, and consequently an excellent vehicle for Mix. It seems also superfluous to call attention to the fact that Tony, the most famed mustang in screenland, is also present in the horse-flesh, so to speak. In the supporting cast is Anne Cornwell, who will be remembered so favorably in “Introduce Me” with Douglas McLean, and Lucien Little field who was responsible for so many laughs in Tom Mix’s earlier pictures, “The Deadwood Coach.” In “The Rainbow Trail” Mr. Littlefield plays the role of a pack train driver and will hand you a lot of laughs. Both theatres will probably be full on these closing nights and the early birds get their choice of roosts. GEORGE W. BAKER DEAD AT CARTHAGE George W. Baker, one of the best known printers in Central North Caro lina died Tuesday morning at the home of Joseph Phillips, near Car thage. Mr. Baker was 73 years old, being a native of Tilton, New Hampshire. He came to Jonesboro in 1888, where he published the Jonesboro Leader.

H) Sorrow and gloom prevailed in our town and community, for the Death Angel has again spread his wings and breathed in our midst. In our town, a small one, all are friends and neighbors; some closely related by ties of blood. Therefore we grieve for our beloved dead, and miss their presence, that is with us no more. Mrs. Charles C. Jones, one of our greatly beloved and highly esteemed women, one of many Christian virtues, passed away at her home, Edgewood, on the morn of May the 8th, in her forty-sixth year. A faithful and de voted wife, a tender, loving mother. We deeply sympathize with the stricken husband, who has lost a world of comfort. “My wife! how strongly shall they memory be, shined within the chamber of my heart, they virtuous worth was only known to me; and I can feel how hard it is to part. Farewell sweet spirit! Thou shalt ever be a star to guide me up to Heaven, and thee.” (Continued on page 8) PINEHURST IS ON ACCREDITED LIST Dr. Highsmith Congratulates the School and Community for its Success Superintendent W.
