sickness of three weeks, Mrs.
S. c. Vann died at her home
here early this morning.
She was born, in Franklinton,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J.

one knows how to begin to
me lsure its extent.
This is the first break in the
family circle and she leaves her
husband, Mr.. S. C. Vann, a son,
Mr., A. H. 'Vann, and two daugh-
ters, MIS-. j. A. Moore, of Rose

Mrs. Vann was a member of
the Methodist Episcopal Church
devoted to it and to all Christian
work.

Roanoke Rapids 6; Emporia 0

The same strain of adverse
luck seemed to follow the Roa.
noke Rapids high school football
eleven in the game with EN-
poria high last Friday afternoon
on the local gridiron and after a
hard fight they managed to nose
out a six to nothing victory. The
lone score was the result of a
touchdown from a kick by EN-
poria from behind their own
goal line, which struck the
ground in the field of play, then
bounded out size the side line ex-
tended before being touched.
The Emporia team showed their
usual strength in defensive work
and presented generally we'll
balanced team. The locals lost
opportunities to score a touch
down three different times as
results of fumbles near their
own goal line. Barnes and King
put up the strongest fight for
the visiting team while Bernard
Edmondson in the backfeld and
Harrison in the line played
featured game for the home
eleven.
The two teams will meet again
this afternoon in Emporia and
close game is expected.
