Scotland Neck
m i
Miss Lucy Clair Ivey, popular teach
er in the local schools, died at 1 o'-
clock this morning at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. A. Anderson of pneumonia,
following an illness of seven days
Suffering a cold several days before
she was taken seriously ill, Miss Ivey
continued her work in the school
room and in the preparation of a pri
mary operetta. Monday of last week
the became suddenly worse, and on
account of a weak heart her condition
was considered serious from the be
ginning. The crisis of the illness was
passed Sunday, but her heart failed
her, and the end came gradually.
Coming here in the fall of 1925, Miss
Ivey, as she was favorably known by
the hundreds of little folks who have
received instruction at her hands, en
deared herself to the school snd com
munity. and each year since that time
an opening in the local faculty was
available to her. An unusual initiative
marked her activities in the school
room, and in the community she was
regarded as a valuable citizen. The
community, as well as the school, will
miss her.
Mia* Ivcy attended the Halifax
County school* and received her high
school education in tlx Tarboro High
School, later going to Greenville for
her work in the East Carolina Teach
ers' College.
Her mother and father preceded her
to the grave several years ago, and
several brothers and sisters survive.
Funeral services will be held in
Scotland Neck tomorrow afternoon at
3:00 o'clock, and interment will follow
in the cemetery there.
The local school* will be closed to
morrow as a last tribute to her, and
many of her former pupils and towns
people are planning to attend the last
rites there.

port that ditches on their farms are

BIG INCREASE IN
SALES SATURDAY
ON CURB MARKET
Receipts Are Used To Pay
Old Debts and Purchase
Goods, Agent States
By LORA E. SLEEPER
The second week pf the curb market
was realized last There
were fifteen women selling on the
market, representing five home dem
onstration clubs. The women took in
$40.11 Saturday, more than doubling
the sales of the opening day. There
were flowers in the early hours of the
market, lending i»erfunie and color to
the market, also proving good sellers.
The produce on the market Saturday
was more in abundance than the pre
vious week, but in spte of the abund
ance the seller' learned that the Wil
liamston folks were lovers of young
dressed chickens. Those selling arc
still very anxious to supply the demand
made for young dressed chickens, an
gel food cakes, layer cakes, and chicken
salad requested by patrons of the mar
ket last week. Suggestions from our
patrons will be very, welcome at any
time.
No doubt for the fir»t time sellers
on the market have been able to go
shopping after the market paying cash
for whatever they buy, in a few cases
paying up back bills which have been
running some time. This is a help to
both merchant and country person. It
is the sincere desire to make the mar
ket in Williamston a help to all peo
ple.

Williamston, Martin County, North Carolina, Tuesday, April 7, 1931
Depression has made itself felt
in all walks of life, no doubt, but it
is believed that the charitable in
stitutions of the .State and country
are facing the most critical times
since their organisation. William
ston and community accorded the
little folks a loyal support last
year, and it is hoped that the peo
ple will again remember the un
fortunate ones. No admiasion fee
will be charged, the financial suc
cesa of the concert depending upon
the generoaity of the people.
Masons of the county are par
ticularly urged to attend.

The cry of the unfortunate again
resounded yesterday, when the Mar
tin County Board of Commissioners,
in regular session, added several names
to the indigent list, and the number
added was only a small percentage of
those applying for limited aid.
Business, as a whole, before the
commissioner* here yesterday, was of
little importance, there being no ma
jor issues to discuss. The members
learned from a study of the auditor's
report that the county treasury will
be able to meet the payroll of all em
ployees this month without any trou
ble, thus relieving the officials of a
worry that has caused much concern
in past weeks. ' , r

leigh. In other words, acreage and
other land facts will be recorded, but
no final valuation will be determined
at this time. Personal property values
are subject to variation and final val

FAIL TO CONFIRM LARGE CROWD AT
NEW MEMBERS OF FIRST SERVICE
COUNTY BOARD BY DR. TURNER
♦ ! —.—
Old Board Will Continue
In Power During Next
Several Days
Nominees for places on the Martin
County Board of Education failed to
take the oath of office here yesterday
when the House failed to concur in cer-
tain amendments advanced by the Sen
ate in Raleigh last week. As a re-ult
the old board continues in power, but
it is believed that appointments will
be made and certified to the local au
thorities within the next few days.
The omnibus bill providing the
appointment of the education board
nominees, was passed by the House
last Tuesday, the Senate later passing
the bill with certain amendments in
which the House did not concur. That
phase of the bill affecting this coun
ty provides for the appointment of Mr.
VV. O. Griffin for a six-year term,
Messrs. J. A. Getsingcr and J. Eason
I.illey for four years, and MeSSrsr J.
T. Barnhill and Javan Rogers for two
years, it is understood.
Meeting in session yesterday to han
dle their regular routine duties and
turn the office over to the new hoard,
the old members handled the business
of the day, and agreed to continue as
a hody until the new board members
are officially seated. The board yester
day .discussed the grand jury report
and various changes proposed in local
county committees, but in the latter
no action was taken.
It i> nut known whether the new
board will go into office before May
4, but it will hardly be later than that

Services Will Be Held Each
Evening Throughout
The Week Days
Speaking to a well-filled house, Dbc
' tor Clyde Turner, of Greensboro,
preached the first of his sermons in the
1 Baptist church here last night. He
i had for his text, "For Me To Live Is
j Christ," and charmed his hearers with
the earnestness and sincerity of his
I treatment of the theme.
, __
| A representative congregation of
1 Williamston's people was present—in
cluding members of the other con
gregations in town. Seeing in the News
and Observer that Doctor Turner was
preaching here, a party motored up all
the way from Plymouth to be pres
ent for the first service. And it is ex
pected that groups from the near-by
towns ami villages will be coining in
regularly.
A feature of the first service was the
presence of a gr> up of young people
who came in a bus from the cniutty
sifle. And there were so, many of
these that the bus had to male a >.c
ond trip to. get them all home.
Friday night is to be school night.
This is at the suggestion of Professor
Watson, who felt that it would be an
excellent tljiiu; to have the preacher
address hiinsrlf directly t > these young
I people of the comnni lity. Reserved
| scats will be held for the young folk
j oil that night And it is expected tint
I the house will he lacked.
Doctor Turner will preach each eve
ning through the week days. But
'Oll Sund;i\ he i-- scheduled to address
j varying groups lour ditTer-ent times.
: Since there re 110 other week-day
j services 111 jJj; community at this time,
an op|)ortunitv is given all those who
'care to tale adv.. t'.gc of it.'
| It would seem that tlic community
is ripe lor a series of religious serv
ices that will leave a powerful iin
pre . u;'i it the people. And every
thing that is licing planned and dt>n -
m these services is in behalf of the
entire rommunity.
At the first ineet iig |>ra\eis, we ,
offered to God for the bereaved hunes
in our community, where death has
taken away two of our most ti cfiil
|citizens, that we could ill afford to
lose.
