$4,000 FOR ORPHANS

The Barbecue and Brunswick
Stew given Saturday by 0. E. S.
for the benifit of the Orphanage
at Oxford was a decided success.
Through the untiring efforts of
Mrs. Fred Peck, Chairman of
the Orphanage Committee and
Mrs. w. P. Taylor the sum OF
$5OO.O0 was sent to the Orghan-
age as Christmas present. The
store formerly occupied BY Wells
D. Tillery was beautifully deco
rated and attractively arranged
as a dining hall. A profit of
$4,000 was realized from this
supper. The rest of the amount
was made up from private dona-
tions. Besides the money raised
these ladies have secured about
SIS. 90 worth of canned goods to
be shipped and they are still re-
ceiving donations.
The spirit Of Christmas and of
Him who said Suffer little chill
dren to come unto me and forbid
them not" seemed to pervade
everybody's heart and Roanoke
Rapids measured up as she al
ways does to every worthy cause.
Many large contributions from
the big hearted men of the COM
munity were received and for
these the Order of Eastern Star
is truly thankful and the heart
of the Orphans will be made
glad. Especial credit is due to
Mrs. Fred Peck for her faithful
and unceasing efforts in this
cause. The Worthy Matron,
Worthy Patron, Officers and
Committee of the O. E. S. desire
to express their thanks to the
community for it's help and CO.
operation.

If YOU HAVEN'T
GUN, TAKE A FORD
But the Main thing in Hunting
Deer or Dear is to keep your
nerve

A Ford car played a new role
on Christmas night on the road
near Shaw's store, South Rose
mary, when in addition to its
many known uses, served as a
huntsman's weapon, when sud-
denly confronted by real deer

charge of Mr.. Exum Matthews,
who in the excitment of the oc-
casion charge full power ahead
out running the animal and al
most precipitating bis car into
the ditch at what time it is said
that the experience was so rare
and exciting that Mr.. Matthews
lost his equilibrium and lit a
rag" leaving the car behind and
gave the broken legged deer a
chance to escape.
The above experience of Mr..
Matthews soon became current
gossip in Rosemary and soon
several scouting parties or quasi
spOrtsmen were out after this
strange challenger of Ford.
1t seems that the only one of
these NimroGs who met any de.
gree of success were Mr.. Mack
Johnson and Dutch" Dickens
who on Saturday Afternoon
went out and taking the trai
where the Ford left off and soor
came in personal contact with
the said animal. 1t is rumoreC

A NEW STUNT
In PENALTIES

Notwithstanding new in
penalties has just been inflicted
by State Food Administrator
Henry A. Page upon 10 grocers
of Rocky Mount who were found
by Inspector E. L. Harris to be
exceeding the margins of profits
allowed on flour and other food
products, Contributions to the
Red Cross are a thingof the past
and the offenses were not serious
enough to warrant the black list
which effectively and quickly put
a merchant out business. This
being the case Mr.. Page advised
the merchants in question that if
they would publish a statement
in their local papers explaining to
their partons and the public that
they exceeded the allowed mar
gins that nb futher action would
taken as a result of past offenes.
The merchants involved were T..
l.. Worsley, F. Y. Arlington, H.
C. Joyner, E. T. Joyner, j. w.
Davenport, Powers and Miller,
R. T. Bartholomew. G. G. Levy
& Brother, Jenkins & Jeffries,
and G. C. Robbins.
As an evidence of the fact the
Food Administration is still doing
business at the old stand, Food
Administrator Page is consider
ing and will probably announce
within a few days the revocation
of license or the blacklisting OF
one wholesaler, one ginner, one
roller mill and two retailers, all OF
whome have been found guilty
of violating Food Administration
rules and regulations affecting
their business.
