She was the daughter of Henderson and Lucy Cheek and the grand-daughter of Morgan Bryant, and was thus descended from pioneer families in Alleghany County. She is sur vived by two brothers, H. C. Cheek and F. W. Cheek, and by two sisters, Lucinda Edwards and Sarah Ann Williams. She was married to John C. Edwards, and to this union were born two children, both of whom survive their mother, Rufus C. Edwards, of Sparta and Mrs. Mae Spicer, of Bel Air, Maryland. She is also survived by seven grand children and eighteen great grandchildren. After the death of i her husband in 1890, in the prime of manhood, she continued to re-1 side with her two children in the old home and was later married] to Hiram Edwards, who preceded her to the grave many years ago. In her early youth she was con verted under the ministry of Eld er B. E. Caudill and united with Union Primitive Baptist Church, later transferring her member ship to Antioch Primitive Baptist Church, in which faith she lived a consistent Christian life. She! was a loyal supporter of all the interests of her church; she at tended its services and ordinan- J ces; she rejoiced in its growth! and progress; she gained spiritual I strength from its ministry and doctrines. In old age last year she attended for the last time! its annual Association at Antioch,! where she had also attended the j Association twenty years before.' In her death the church loses aj devoted and loyal friend. Aunt Ellen represents the type | of women who have contributed i much to the welfare of our land and people. She was a woman who looked well to the ways of her household, and she believed that all people should be thrifty and independent. She lived a use ful life and contributed to the good of her church, family and community. No life such as hers is lived in vain. In memory of1 her we gratefully pay this tribute j of respect, and pray God’s bles-' sings upon the bereaved. The words of Henry Ward I Beecher, the great American > preacher, are fitting to close this j memorial: “Brethren, we are all sailing I home; and by and by when we are not thinking about it, some shadowy thing (men call death) at midnight will pass by and call us by name and will say, ‘I have a message for you; God is call ing; and heaven waits for you’.” Let us not doubt that God has a father’s pity for us, and that in removing those near and dear to us, He is still loving, kind and merciful.

Legal Notice NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION NORTH CAROLINA ALLEGHANY COUNTY. Having qualified as administra trix of the estate of W. B. Estep, late of Alleghany County, this is to notify all persons having claims against said estate to pre sent them to the undersigned on or before April 1, 1942, or this notice will be plead in bar of their recovery. All persons in debted to the estate will please make immediate settlement. This April 1, 1941. BESSIE ESTEP, Administratrix. 4tc-24s Legal Notice TO ALLEGHANY HOME OWNERS The State of North Carolina has drawn up a code of regula tions and requirements to govern the wiring of homes for electri city. This code is for the pro tection of life and property from the dangers of electricity. Alleghany County has appoint ed me to inspect every job of house wiring. My aim is to hold up the standard of good work manship, and thus increase the security of every home. To avoid taxing home owners or the electrical contractors with the expense of double inspection trips, I recommend that homes be wired by those who are well ac quainted with State requirements. We have in the county three licensed and registered electri cians who understand all State requirements. We are able to rec ommend them as capable work men. Also, their charges for ma terial and workmanship will be found reasonable. They are, Ralph Parker and Ernest Hoppers of Sparta, and Everette Hoppers of Whitehead. Too often people succeed in getting a poor job of wiring be cause they try too hard to save themselves some money. Any workman who knows how, and does the job correctly, is worthy of his wages. And there is noth ing to be saved in buying inferior electrical equipment. Terminals at the weather head must always be at least 18 inches long, and meter bases should nev er be placed above 5 feet 8 inches to the center. There has been some criticism recently by officials about terminals being left too short and meter bases placed too high. (Signed) H.
