ABOUT ROADS.

Every man has his own opinion gen.
orally about everything; but perhaps
the matter OF roads when discussed will
disclose as many different opinions as
any other subject that concerns the
public.
When 1t is simply a question OF bet
ter roads, of course all agree that we
need them. But propose remedy for
the bad roads and you strike a saag.
If you propose to improve the roads
by taxation. the man who has heaped
together a little more stuff of this
worlds wherewith will at once say he
is opposed to any increase in taxes. II
you propose to compel every citizen
between certain ages, say twenty-one
and forty five, to do more work on the
roads, the man who pays no tax but
poll tax says that IS unfair.
But one thing is beyond dispute ::
Towns and centres of trade in North
Carolina that are dependent on road
facilities will never see much greater
prosperity until the roads leading to
them are greatly improved.

The dark shadow of death has
crossed the threshold of happy

Idelia Crick, wife of Jesse Crick.
After two weeks of suffering, pa
tiently and bravely borne, God in
his wisdom saw fit to call her away
from this sinful world to a brighter
one in his kingdom above. On last
Friday night at 10 O'Clock she passed
peacably over the dark river Of death
and joined the throng that worships
at the feet of Jesus. Mrs. Crick was
forty-five years old and leaves
husband, eight children and q host
of friends to mourn her loss. She
has been faithful member of the
Presbyterian Church for a great
many years. Her delight was In the
law of the Lord and in his word did
she mediate. She was kind and
ever ready to administer to the wants
of the sick and afflicted.
blessed are they that die In the
Lord for they rest from their labors
and their works do follow Them"
She will be missed from day to dAy,
for she was good wife, kind and
affectionate mother and a friend to
all who knew her. The mortal re-
mains were inferred at Coles Chapel
cemetery Saturday evening in the
presence of a large and sOrrOwing
crowd.
Silently death knocks at our door,
And we are called to better land,
Soon TO meet dear ones gone before,
And join the heavenly angel band.
Take courage sad heart
And cease this earthly breaking,
For soon from earth's trial we'll
part,
And join the dear ones waiting.
