Death of Mr.. ]. c. Wllliford.

Mr.. J. G. Wiliiford died at his home
at the south end of Church street at
five O'Clock p. M, Friday, January IL,
1907, aged 40 years.
In July, 1905, while at work at his
trade, that OF a carpenter, in Norfolk,
Va, he was stricken with paralysis
from which 1t seemed he would not
recover. In few weeks, however, he
was able to be moved to Scotland Neck
where he has lived ever since.
For all these months he has been
cheerful and hopeful and really seemed
to be improving, being able sometimes
to go on the street little.
Friday while out on the street near
his home, he felt pain in the head
and called to his wife for aid. Persons
near by went to his assistance and
helped him into the house. A physi-
clan Was sent for, but when he arrived
Mr.. Williford was speechless, and soon
he became unconscious and gradually
sank until the end came.
Mr.. Williford was a native OF Nash
county, having been born in Rocky
Mount, but moved to Halifax county
while yet young and spent most OF his
life in this county.
For several years just before going
to Norfolk IN the early part OF 1908,
Mr.. Wllliford lived in Scotland Neck,
and had many friends IN this commu-
nifty. He leaves wife and two daugh-
tiers, Mrs. B. Mason, of Norfolk, and
Miss Monte Williford, besides two
brothers, one in Norfolk and one in
Wilson.
- The remains we're laid to rest In the
Baptist cemetery Saturday afternoon
at four O'Clock, Rev. G. T. Lumpkin,
assisted by Rev. J. E. Holden, conduct
ing the burial services.
The floral offerings were quite pref
ty, evidence of the high esteem in
which be and his bereaved family gre
held.
Deceased was a consistent member
the Baptist church, a good husband
and fond father, and those who are sc
sorely tried by this cad affection LOOK
away in hope and confidence to the
resurrection morn when they shall al
be reunited on that peaceful shore
"where the surges cease to ROLL"
Keen and loving sympathy is felt fol
the bereaved family by host of friends
and relatives here and in other parts o
the county.

cath of Mrs Ware.

After an illness OF about six months
Mrs. Anna Shields Ware, the wife OF
Mr. BENZ mil Ware. and the daughter
! OF Mr. Allen plttman, in the twenty
sixth year of her age, passed into rest
Saturday evening, January 18th, 1907,
In Scotland Neck between ten and
eleven o'clock.
Mrs. Ware was a sincere follower OF
her Lord and Master, into whose SER
vice she entered by confirmation in
the Episcopal church in Scotland Neck !,
conferred by Bishop Joseph Blount
Cheshire D. d., November Goth, 1901,
and to her Christian vows she was
ever loyal.
She was married to Mr.. Benjamin
Ware in Scotland Neck October 29th,
1902. She leaves two sweet little
motberless girls, Emily Plttman and
Anna Elizabeth.
Through all Mrs. Wares illness she
hsd the unceasing care and loving at
tention of her most affectionate sister,
Miss Elizib Pittman, who did all
that affection could do to ameliorate
her sufferings. But in the wise provi-
dence of God Mrs. Ware has been taken
away from the pains and perils of thie
uncertain life that she may find rest
and peace and home Gin the house
not made with hands eternal in the
heavens"
The burial service, which was &C.
cording to the ritual OF the Episcopal
church, was between four and five
o'clock Sunday afternoon January
18th, 1907. There was present large
gathering OF people. There we're also
many children. A solemn silence per-
vaded the scene, and when the hymn
was sung and the flowers laid upon the
gra"e ard the blessing pronounced, the
solemn stiffness was such as to mani
fe5t the reverence our people feel in
Il presence of the dead and lovec
ones who have passed into the mystic
ries OF the spirit world.

Schnapps Tobacco is Made ENTIRELY from Flue Cured
Tobacco Crown in the Piedmont Country.
The Imitation Brands Have Schnapps
Quality Only On the Outside
Of the Plug .- w.
Hundreds of imitation brands are

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps to-
bacco. The outside of the imitation
plugs of tobacco is fue cured the same
as Schnapps, but the inside is filled
with cheap, flimsy, heavily sweetened
air cured tobacco. One chew of
Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger
longer than two chews of such to-
bacco. The color, size and shape
of the tags, plugs and packages of
certain imitation brands of tobacco
have been made so much like
Schnapps that they have often been
accepted by buyers under the belief
that they were getting Schnapps.
Sufficient proof has been secured
to establish the fact that certain
brands are infringements and in vio-
lation of the trade mark laws, yet the
trade will continue to be imposed
upon by these infringers until the suit
already entered and now pending to
protect Schnapps is decided. A
great many of these limitations are

claimed to be "just as good" as
Schnapps, but there is only one gen
uine Schnapps. Be sure the letters
on the tag, and stamped on the plug
under the tag spell S-C-H-N-A-P-P-S
and then you have 1.-THE most
wholesome tobacco produced, with
just enough sweetening to preserve
the mild, juicy, stimulating quality Of
the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove
that this fue cured tobacco, grown
in the famous Piedmont region, re-
quires and takes less sweetening than
any other and has a wholesome
stimulating, satisfying effect On
cheWers.
If the tobacco you are chewing
don't satisfy you more than thcmere
habit Of expectorating, stop iooiing
yourself and chew SchnappS tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chewers
formerly bought costing from 75c.
to $I.oo per pound; Schnapps is
sold at soc. per pound, il SC. cuts,
strictly Ioc. and r5c. plugs.

SHORTENS COURT WORK
Judge Michael +. Girten, New South
Chicago Magistrate, Uses knowledge
of Foreign Languages to Good Adj
vantage.

The police docket of the South Chi
cago branch of the municipal court has
been more rapidly disposed of since
Judge T. Girten succeeded Judge Good
now on the local bench. Judge Girten
speaks Polish and German as we'll as
English, besides having a smattering
of several other languages. large
proportion of the defendants appearing
in police cases are Poles, and the neces-
sity for employing All interpreter dur
ing Judge Goodnow's incumbancy crea
ted frequent delays. Judge Girten
goes into the cases in whatever
language is best suited to them
whether English, Polish, German or
Slavish. His linguistic accomplish
ments have enabled him to clear the
docket in much shorter time than If an
interpreter were employed in cases
where defendants or witnesses were I'M
able to speak English. The Judge also
acts as interpreter where the police
officers are prosecuting or where at
torneys speaking only English are ex-
aiming witnesses.
This morning in a case where all
the parties were Polish, Judge Girten
administered the oath in Polish and in
terpreted for the attorneys on both
sides of the case.
