ORPHAN SINGERS TO BE HERE 25TH Oxford Orphanage Singing Class Now Making Its Annual Tour The Singing Class of the Oxford Orphanage, from Oxford, North Car olina, is paying this community a vis- j it as a part of its tour for 1933. The class this year is composed of 14 boys and girls under the direction of Mrs. Sadie Hutchinson. A most delightful program of songs, recitations and drills with colorful costumes and splendid music will feature the program. The singing class of the Oxford Orphan age has for more than 50 years made annual tours all over the state, each year bringing a new' class with a new program and the influence of the ap pearance of these children in this com munity on the cultivation of interest for the cause of the orphan can not be measured. There is scarcely a community that in the 60 years of the life of the Oxford Orphanage has not sent some boy or girl to that splen did home for care and training. The class is under the traveling I management of Mr. L. W. Alderman, who for many years has been leading this class over the state. He has trav eled thousands of mile< and his thous ands of friends as well as others look forward to his coming with the sing ing class. On account of transpor tation difficulties the class is again using its own bus and its appearance on our streets is an ubjtel of interest. The members of the class are enter tained in the homes of Masons and £ther friends Jand the pre^en^te of these orphans in the home of people here always gives an opportunity to see and hear something of the splen did work being done by the Masons and the State of North Carolina in taking care of children who are de pendent. -• Miss Patterson Expresses Thanks for Cooperation By EUGENIA PATTERSON Home Agent I wish to thank E.

NEW FARM ACT MAY RELIEVE DEBT ON FARMS —•— Relief Bill Will Aid 400,000 Farmers Owing More Than Billion Dollars -» Title eleven of the new farm relief bill contains provisions that will aid the nearly 400,000 farmers who have j loans aggregating more than one bil-1 lion dollars with the twelve Federal^ land banks of the United States. According to information supplied the Extension Service of State Col-' lege by the chairman of the Federal Farm Board, Henry Morgenthau, Jr., in 60 days after the approval of the Act by President Roosevelt, the in terest rate on all these mortgages; will be reduced to 4 1-2 per cent. Bor rowers are now paying between 5 and 6 percent. The new rate of interest must remain in force for five years. Then too, the act provides that payments on the principal of the loans shall not be required for a period of five years if the mortgage is otherwise kept in good standing. Heretofore, the Iandbank mortgages have required paj'ments annually or semi-annually on the principal in ad-: dition on the unpaid balance. The banks are given authority to post pone payments on the principal for the next five years and also to post pone payments on the interest if the farmer is unable to meet such pay ments. Then, these farmers who do not have their loans with the land banks ; but have secured them from private ] parties and organizations, may have their mortgages taken over by the j land banks and share in the same . benefits as those men who have bor rowed from the land banks originally. This will apply where the place is in danger of being lost through fore closure. In this case the person i holding the mortgage must help. A farmer may also apply for a first ( mortgage from the land bank if his loan is due and payable and he can not meet the payment. He may also redeem land that has been sold and secure funds for putting the place on a sound basis again. County farm agents are instructed to aid farmers in learning the details of these new plans.

Ange, 32 year- of age, whose lifeless body was found ir. his automobile near Mackeys with a revolver lying be tween his knees on the seat. At his feet was a pool of blood that came from a wound in his head. The Rev. W. B. Clifton, Primitive Baptist minister of Plymouth, officiat ed The last rites wore held at the home of the victim’s mother, Mrs. Joe H. Ange, and burial t -ok place in the family plot on the mother’s farm. A large crowd attended. Many beauti ful flowers covered the grave. The body of Mr. Ange was found slumped over in the seat of his auto mobile Thursday night on the old Mackey's Road b> a son of Luther Swain who was passing the scene and saw the lights of the parked car. Thrugh curiosity he walked over to the automobile and called the oc cupant but no answer came. Others passing thought it was a drunk asleep in the car. Just as soon as the Swain boy saw the sight he knew that it was murder or either suicide. It was near the home of W. \V. Phelps and the boy informed him of the ghastly deed. The two with others went to the au tomobile and found the 32-calibre pistol lying on the seat between the knees of the dead man. The bullet entered the right temple of the victim and came out on the left side of his head. A powder burn on the right temple revealed that the gun had been fired at close range. The right hand that grasped the gun was formed as if still clutching the weapon. Blood, trickling all over the body and the automobile rendered the ghastly scene more horrible. The auto was found on the left side of the M a’keys Road headed to ward Plymouth with the lights burn ing. Tracks led the investigators believe that Mr. Ange had been down to Rea's Beach on the Albe marle Sound. A coroner’s jury re turned a verdict of suicide. Miss Edna Earl Nurney was in charge of the in vestigation as coroner. The jury was composed of E. F. Still, W. W. Phelps, R. YV. Johnston, S. A. Ward, J W. Brown, B. W. Coburn. Sheriff Reid was summoned to the scene at about 12 o’clock. It appeared that the tragedy occurred around 10 o’clock. From appearances the victim died almost instantly. No note or any clue as to the cause was found. It was thought that domestic trou bles brought on the despondency that resulted in the rash act. Mr. Ange was seen Thursday in Plymouth, hut lit: showed effects of deep worry as far as friends could determine at that time. His wife had been estranged from him for ten daj> or more. He married a daughter of Mrs. George W . Phelps, who with five small chil dren, survives. Mrs. Groves Entertains -- A charming courtesy was extended the house guest of Mrs. T. L.
