DEATH OF HENRY LOCKLEY
Formerly of Pembroke, Died i
Portsmouth, Va.

Formerly of Pembroke, Died in
| Portsmouth, Va.
To the Editor of The Robesonian.
PNasallow me space in your paper
to give a brief account of the death
and funeral of a Robson county boy
who was formerly of Pembroke, but
was living in Portsmouth, Va, when
| death came.
This boy, or young man, was Mr..
| Henry Lockley. He was reared to
young manhood in that section Of our
county known generally as Saddle
tree. He was the youngest child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Riley Lockley, now of
Pembroke. He moved with his par
ents from this section to Pembroke
some three years ago, and spent part
of his time at home and part away
working at his trade.
, Mr.. Lockley was very widely known
as he had travelled over very much Of
his native State as we'll as other
! States, in practicing his trade, which
was that of barber.
! His death was very shocking indeed
to his family and friends. He had
been away from home for several
months, and last week his folks re-
|
| He was apparently well one day and
the next morning he was found in his
sleeping apartment dead. The doc
| tor alleged the cahse to be heart fail
! ure.
His father and only brother, Mr..
Purcell Lockley of Lumber Bridge,
went at once to Portsmouth to look
after the remains of the deceased
| which were brought to Pembroke Sat
urday, Sept. 20.
The funeral was conducted in the
grove near the family burying
grounds yesterday, the Rev. F. A. Pre-
watt officiating. The theme of the
funeral sermon was preparation te
meet God. Brother Prevatt brought
out very forcibly the Importance Of
making this preparation and the ne
cessity of being ready when called
from this to an unknown world. A
the close of the sermon an Invitation
was given to those who desired pray
er that they might make this prep
aration to meet God in peace, ant
quite a number Of young folks wen
forward and gave their hands, in
\ dicating that they desired the peac
! of God in their lives. The father O
the deceased also asked the preache

young people, warning them not t
stray away from home and friend
and have to be hunted up, after deaf
| by their parents.
II The deceased is survived by hi
| father and mother, one brother an
two sisters, all Of whom live in Rot
eson county except one sister, VIII
lives in Scotland county.
Our heartfelt sympathy is extend
ed to the bereaved family
May we take this as one of God
plans to show to us that though W
! are in the bloom of youth, as tn
young man was who had just abol
= reached his 31st birthday that Il
calls US as He sees wise in His ow
u good way, whether we are prepare
n or unprepared.
May God help US all to make tt
preparation and consecrate our liv,
anew to His cause.

PREPAREDNESS,

The man or woman in the United
States who is not aroused to the ne.
cessity of preparedness for what the
men must bear and do for the coun.
try and civilization in this war does
not realize the seriousness of the sit.
uatiOn.
We should, we must think. We
must act. Take in the situation and
then as true North Carolinians, true
Americans, measure up to the occas

We must give, we must invest in
bonds of our country. We must raise
foodstuffs and all that is necessary to
feed and clothe ourselves and our sol
diers, our allies and their soldiers.
Make it, save it, protect it from

LISTING SKILLED WoRKMEN
 FOR PUBLIC SERVICE
Agencies to Reach Into Every Corner
 of the United States.

Washington, March 22.-The civil service commission, whose agsncies reach into every corner of the United States, has enlisted to aid the federal government in lining up the country's skilled workmen for public service in the International emergency. In addi- ton to instructing it's 5000 local boards of examiners to secure as many men as possible for work in navy yards, arSenalS and other government plants, the commission has opened a waiting list Of eligibles who might be called on should more urgent need arise.
 Posters are to be displayed by the commissions officials in postofices and other public buildings throughout the country, calling attention to the fact that the army and navy need ship wrightS, boiler makers, machinists, blacksmiths and worknen of many other classes. It is to be pointed out that the wages paid correspond to and that while an examination is re- qtIired of applicants, it is not a civil service examination, but is based largely on physical ability and experi- ence.
 In announcing tonight the score of the campaign, the commission urged persons who cannot immediately enter headquarters here giving their names, addresses, and the class of work they could do for the country. As nearly as it's means will permit, the commission hopes to stimulate the national labor mobilization schemes which have played such an important part in sus- taining the European belligerents.

SUIT OVER HENS.
Max Sehulman of PiainfieId Claims Ivar Havunen of Brooklyn Failed to Keep Contract.

Tn the superior court here Thursday Judge Gardiner Greene heard the field vs. War Havunen of the town of Brooklyn. The plaintiff claimed a breach of contract. which the de- fent1ant denied.
 schulman climed that he had bar gained with Huvenen for the purchase of flock of hens; that he paid $10 on deposit and that he was to pay the balance when he came to get the hens: that when he did call there was a dis pute with the defendant. who claimed that Sohulman was day late in com ing for the hens and that the agree ment was off. So Schu1man started suit to recover damages of $32, which sum would include the profit to be for.
 Schulman also claimed that Hav- unen had failed to return his s10 left as a deposit.
 On the other hand. Havunen said that after the dispute with Schulrnan as to completing the bargain for the delivery of the hens he had given back to the plaintiff his $10 deposit money. evidence the statement that the s1U bill he gave back to Schulman was an issue of the Windham County Ma tional band at Dsnielson. Havunen said he had never seen bill of this bank before and he was so interested in 1t he made note of the number.
 After Schulman first made the claim that Havunen had refused to return his $10, Hayunan learned that Schul- man had just purchased COW of George F. Bartholomew of Brooklyn and paid for the animal Shrewdly es- timating that the $1o bill of the Dan- ielson bank that he claims he re- turned to Schulznan might have been given by the latter to Bartholomew in part payment for the cow. he went to Bartholomew and asked him about it. MT. Bartholomew looked through the roll of bills Schulman had given him. Havunen testified, and found bill of the Danielson bank.
 Bartholomew testified as a witness and corroborated what Havenen had said about coming to him and asking about such bill and of the finding of it in the roll.
 Deputy Sheriff Edwin Bennett. of Brooklyn. as witness for the plain tiff, testified as to going to Havunen's place with Schulman at the time they were in disagreement oyer the hens.
