The. death of Miss Sudie, the
daughter of Mr.. and : Mrs. Louis
Goodwin, the surveyor, occurred
Sunday morning about 1 o'clock at
the home of her parents in this city,
of pneumonia. The funeral was held
Sunday afternoon and the inter-
ment was made in Willow Dale
cemetery.
Now that the mail carriers are
making a delivery twice a day in the
resident portion of the city and three
times a day in the business portions,
it would be a great convenience to
the carriers if private boxes were put
up at each residence within reach
from the street. The postal regula-
lions recommend that such be done.
The ladies of the First Baptist
the Sunday schoolrOOm of the church
on Friday night of this week, to
which the public as well as the con-

The ladies wish to realize funds with
which to have some much needed re-
pairs made to the church and it is
hoped that they will not be disap-
pointed.
The mail carriers will not deliver
mail on Sundays, but they will be at
the post Office for one half hour after
; will also be at the office from $3.50
o'clock in the afternoon until 4
O'Clock. The carriers will be provid-

those to whom they carry mail dur

| "Uncle" Jimmie Heath left here
Tuesday for the Soldiers Home in
Raleigh. Since he was injured some
time ago he has been at the Emerg-
ency Hospital. He now has to walk
/. with clutches. The Soldiers Home
is the proper place for him. He was
one of the boys of the sixties,-one
the bravest of the brave and the
names of Jackson, Lee and Davis
are always pronounced by him with
much reverence.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. c.. Switzerland

Just as the Chief of Police was be-
ginning TO think that he had possibly
arrested an innocent man, and just as
the tide of sympathy was beginning
to turn in favor of the stranger, a tel

! Pearce be held for further investiga-
ton, and in a short while after the re-
ceipt of the first telegram a second
message was received from Jackson
/ vile, N. G.. making a similar re-
, quest.
