ALFRED JOTNXR PASSES AWAY Last Sunday afternoon between S and 4 o'clock at his home on the StfBtonsbvxg road, about three miles ??at of Farmville, surrounded by Mends and faithful wife, the Lamp ef life slowly and dimly flickered, with an occasional brighter spark, breaking through the mystery veil of gloom until the sad and peaceful end, when the heart and pulse stood still, and Alfred M. Joyner was no more. Be was born 1856, Sept 28, mak ing his earthly existence 51 years, 5 months and 18 days. He was hap pily married to Miss Margaret E. Phrker, daughter of Mr. Washington Parker, on December 26, 1886, both of Farmville township. He was a son of the late Howell Joyner, and is survived by his wife, three sisters, Mrs. Pattie E. Joyner, .of Greenville, Mrs. John L. Wilkerscn and Miss Mary Joyner^of Farmville, and many . nephews and neices, residing in Wil son, Green, Pitt and Craven counties, te mourn and miss him and his con genial . qualifications and friendly handshakes. He was never associat ed directly with any church but was always inclined to reverence the Primitive Baptists, and took special interest in preparing for and enter taining of the members and attend ants and many will be recalled the good dinners, etc., enjoyed with him and his most hospitable wife during the last few years, having resided ever since his marriage in less than one mile of the old Baptist (Tyson's) church, and with the exception of a short stay in the state of Georgia be fore his marriage. Mr. Joyner was held in the high est esteem by all his neighbors . as wall as others whom he dealt with and knew him to be true te his word, irfilin il te reap. s .. On Saturday night about 10:30 the news came to Farmville that Mr. Joyner was found 'tome two or three hundred yards from home by his wife and sister; Miss Mary Jojmer, having fallen by {he path in which he was walking with his lantern in his hand, and was almost helpless and speech leas, and in fact, new. r spoke many words after telling them not to hurt themselves in trying to lift him that * the "Lord would take care of us all," and asked them te ste^ over to Mr. Norvflie's for some one to come and assist fa moving him to his house, which they did, and as soon as pos sible earns for his physician who went at once and remained with him until aboqt 3 o'clock Sunday morning and lPtamhd about 7 o'clock and again about 1 p. a., rendering every avail able service, being assisted by his jrfflfng wife and friends. But the Tteeper was there, calling the oternal nil to which our human voices can not respond only through, the echoes of the immortal soul. Ea was laid to rest in his sodded tomb amidst a throng of serious friends ami loved ones oh a lovely lit tle haoB in the burial ground of his wife's family near ParmviUe. Fu uatal services were conducted by the Xev. Mr. Slaughter of Farmville. W. P. . pUfy - p^P||yOrr /c >fl .' I K fll^B A'H;- ? >. X J ?;?'? J^T j ' >/-. y\^ ? #|| . SJK 4 .

I J Local Merchant is Confident that 1324 will be Greatest year for Sport?Some Facts That 1 Interest j/ ? f Spring is the time when thoughts of the man ai^r supposed to turn to Love. Mayije that is right, possibly the fine spring evenings and the moonlight nightsjao have their effect, but we have a/nunch that some of the thoughts/of every red-blooded I young man are for baseball " Baseball is the sport of the mass- ' es, the national pastime," said J. F. ? Carr, of the T. L. and W. J. Turn age ! Co., the local Winchester^tore, today. '< "There are 12(7,000 young man ^ playing baseball on reguhrrly organ- ? ised league teams," continued Mr. .? Carr, and each year the number in-* ; creases by thousands*'' During the 1 last generation baseljalJ has dfevelop- 1 ed and has outgrown <ul oth?r sports 1 from the fcdfodpoini & interest "In the n^ghborhood of 60,000 per- 1 J Mutt /}oi, Inct 1 ! SOIIS ytu.u yiiina??v? i vie<???? j fall to witness theAvorld's series con- 1 tests and ps many more would have 1 attended If they could have been as- ( sured^of admission. , ? ' "The major league clubs have been 1 in the south or extreme west for sev- 1 eral weeks and in another few weeks the National and American league seasons will be under way. Within a month most of the important leagues will be playing and the crack of the bat as it meets the ball will be heard on every vacant lot. Nine teen hundred and twenty-three was the greatest year baseball ever had, but I am confident that 1924 will far surpass anything heretofore accom plished. "From the standpoint of business , baseball is a big thing. In the Nat- ' ional league in 1923 the number of baseballs used totalled 42,756. There were nearly the same number used in the. American league, possibly more than that used in the Pacific Coast league because of its longer season. ' There are abotit 1000 leagues of various kinds and sizes in the United States and the more leagues we have the more baseball will grow and prosper. Leagues are the salvation of sports, especially basehall. The greaVdnterest devel oped in baseball has come, through leagues. League/ competitions al ways create interest and Secure pubr licity such as/independent teams can not hope tq/get. / "This year ba.sebaj/will be brought to the attention <g the sport loving people more fore^fully than ever be Fore by reason of two ' 'base ball weeks," sponsored by Winchester Stores all over the United States and the Athletic Goods Manufacturers' association. The Winchester week is from March/27 to April 2 While National Baseball 'Week' is from April 4 to 14. Several thousand dol lars are beiiig offered as prizes for the best wihdow/ displays featuring aaseball goqlds. /it would not be sur prising if it,000 merchants made dis plays of baseball goods during ihe two week? mentioned above. While baseball goods are being displayed there will be much talk of organiza tion. My suggestion would be fhat dubs and individuals who are inter ested in baseball and wish to select heir equipment and form, leagues hat they do so at once.*'?Adv.
