Death OF Rev. j. Il. Howell.

Rev. j. X. Howell who recently
died at his home in Rocky Mount
was we'll known in this community,
having served the Tillery Baptist
church in the capacity Of pastor for
several years. The following account
of his death taken from the Rocky
Mount Record of last week will be of
interest to many readers of this pa
per:
Our community was grieved Tues
day morning at the announcement
of the death of Rev. J. K. Howell
one of our most esteemed citizens
which, occurred at the home of his
Son-in-law, Mr.. P. B. Kyser on Sun
set Avenue Mr.. Howell was in his
IA year and had been an invalid sew
eral months, but it was not generally
known that an acute attack of indi-
gestion had FRUSTRATED him on Mon
day afternoon.
Mr.. Howell had been a resident of
this city for 16 years, several years
occupying the position of pastor for
the first Baptist church. To God
like life which impressed every one
who came in personal contact with
him, was added a character of such
integrity in business life that it has
been said of him THAT no man a.
mong us on business relations was so
spotless.'
He had large bushes interests and
was a successful financier, believing
that the ability to succeed in finances
is God given talent. He was ever
mindful to use it for His glory.
He died as he had lived, in the quiet
possession Of an abiding faith in the
eternal Father. Peacefully as child
lies down to slumber he said good
night to earth and awoke to an ever
lasting daY.

About Roanoke RaDidS,

Some days ago Mr.. J. K. Dickens,
of Roanoke Rapids, said that it is
lively there all the time.
That town has made fine improve
ments and Mr.. Dickens thinks its
future is bright.
The Carolina Fibre Company, with
headquarters at Huntsville, S. c., has
been operating a pulp mill in Roa-
noke Rapids for eighteen months.
The Roanoke Rapids Paper Com
pany, with $500, 900 capital is pre-
pairing to put in a finishing plant
which will turn out paper in it's fin
ished form.
The Roanoke Mill Company is
erecting forty or fifty new buildings
for the use Of operatives in the new
enterprises to be opened.
The new steel bridge across Roa-
noke river was completed a few
weeks ago, and tolls have been col
lected for about three weeks. Mer-
chants see Improvement in their bust
ness as result of the convenience to
the people on the other side of the
river to cross over to the town. Pre-
parations are being made a short
distance up the river to increase the
water power considerably, and Mr..
Dickens thinks that the prospects
for much larger business there are
very hattering.
