in North Carolina, to visualiae the
contrast between good and bad prac

as living quarters for the staff of
the train. This private car is "The
Virginian" and it once was the pro

Indians Down Central
In Close Battle On
Local Court
Coach Dave Fuller's Indians came
to life last Thursday night and
downed the highly-touted Central
High quintet in what the writer 'be
lieves was as good a basketball ex
hibition given on the local court for
the past several years.
The entire Perquimans team played"
as a unit throughout the game and
displayed a fine zone defense that
upset the visitors' offense no little.
Hertford took the opening tip-off
and proceded down to its basket and
whisked the ball through the nets for
a two-pointer that placed them in
the lead which the Indians held until
the final three minutes of the game
when Central scored a bucket totfcke
the lead 22-21. The Indians came
back immediately and hit for another
long one that restored the lead and
gave the Indians the victory.
Nixon, Byrum, Stokes, Wood, Can
non and Dillard all had several
points to their credit at the final
whistle, while Owens, Jackson and
Sawyer were the high point getters
for Central.
Squaws Lose
In the preliminary game the Per
quimans Squaws lost a hard-fought
o'ame to the girts from Central. Finai
score was 27-19, but it does not in
licate the close play which was evi
lent throughout the first three
luarters.
Weakness in defense was the main
trouble with the Squaws' game and
the Central girls came through dur
ing the final period to increase their
lead from four points to eight.
Wally Mayes was high point scor
er for Hertford with 11, while Helen
Mae White and Mildred Gault tallied
for four points each.
Brite, Sample and Sivills did. the
scoring for the Central team.

IN MEAIORIAM
In loving remembrance of my
grandmother, Mrs. John R. Chappell,
who departed this life on January
16, 1940.
Grandmother dear, you have left us
In this world to weep and mourn
But we know you are in that city
Just beyond the silvery foam.
You were a great worker for Jesus
On this broad ocean of life,
Now. your ship has sailed and
anchored
Over on the other side.
You are over there with the angels
Singing praises around His throne
Patiently beckoning to your loved
ones
To come to this Celestial home.
It made us all so sad and lonely
When you left this world below
But, by God's help, we will meet you
When the pearly gates unfoQd.
Her Granddaughter, Mrs. Louis
Winslow.
