At the annual meeting of the Peoples
Building and Loan Association, Thurs
day evening, amendments TO the consti-
tuition were adopted, providing for the
crediting of accrued profits to the respect
i've shares semi-annually, instead of an
nuallv. as heretofore. The new plan is
designed to be more just and liberal to
Withdrawing shareholders. The annual
statement reflects the financial stringeucy
only in the increased number of shares
withdrawn. The association has had no
foreclosures, owns no real estate, and has
only about the usual amount of dues in
arrears. The first series, which is now
eleven years old, will mature in six
months, and will yield six per cent per
annum, clear of tax, twice as much
interest as savings banks pay, while
the Younger series have been equally
profitable.

James T. Worrell, the father OF County
Clerk Worrell, has been pensioned the
balance of his life by the heirs of General
Trick. Mr.. Worrell worked for the Gen
eral for more than fifty years continuous
ly,and only quit his service about one year
ago. He is sixty-eIght years old, and
feeling that he could not do justice any
longer to his employer, he moved off OF
the farm where he had lived for so many
wears into Vincentown, where he has
since resided. After the Generals will
was read, the heirs, learning that no pro-
vision had been made for the old gentle
man, at once consulted together and
agreed to pay to him $50 per month,
and find him house to live in, free OF
charge, the remainder of his days. They
are now fitting up a cosy little house IN
Vincentown, which will soon be ready
for him and his wife to occupy.

Mrs. Ann S. Bennett, commonly called
in this community "Aunty Bennett, died
suddenly, at six o'clock, Sunday evening
of last week. Aunty Bennett was born
August II, 1908, and lived nearly her
whole life IN this neighborhood. In 1920
when twelve years old, she was converted
to God, and joined the Methodist Epis-
copal church here, so that she had lived
Christian life for seventy-four years.
After spending most of her last Sabbath
on earth, she was taken to that haven
where Sabbath never ends, dying on her
eighty sixth birthday anniversary. Dur
| ing her long service in the church she has
filed acceptably at different times the
Offices of class leader, Sunday school
superintendent, and chorister.
She was always interested and useful
helper in both the temporal and spiritual
undertakings of the church, enjoying es-
pecially the social services and the revival
efforts. A widow and in failing health,
/ or helpless invalid for much OF the last
six years of her life she has been cared
for by her niece, Miss Emma Idell. whose
noble self-sacrifce, devotion, patience and
tenderness displayed especially during
the past eight months are worthy Of men
ton. With increasing weakness, blind,
ness suffering, and helplessness, Aunty
Bennett never murmured, but continued
patient, submissive and trustful.
The funeral services, which were held
in the church on Wednesday, were at
tended by the relatives, her many friends
and the leading citizens. The Rev. J. A
Cakes, at the request of the deceased
preached the sermon, taking for his text
