OBITUARY OF JAMES w. KILBY

James w. Kilby, the son of Abra-
ham and Susie Kilby, was born in
Ashe county, North Carolina, Dec. 10,
1874. He departed this life April Fl,
1885, making his stay here on earth
so years, months, and II days.
He was married to Connie Martin
April 5, 1909. To this union were
born children, all of whom are
living. There are four sons and one
daughter: Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Kilby,
of Conowingo, Nd, Mr.. and Mrs.
Troy Kilby, of Conowingo; Mr.. and
Mrs. Earl Fraim, of Philadelphia;
Wilson and Edward Kilby, of Como
wingo.
About five years ago the Blessed
Saviour revealed himself to Brother
Kilby, causing him to rejoice in
Saviour's love and we have seen by
evidence he manifested since we have
known him that he loved the church.
The Inspired teacher that we have
passed from death unto life because
we love the Brethren.
To know Brother Kilby was
pleasure because of his winning per-
sonality. The public at large, as well
as his immediate family will miss his
wise and excellent counsel. The whole
country was severity shocked at his
passing so suddenly. He was sick just
a few days and was taken to the hos
pital at Baltimore where he was OPP
Grated on. All was done that could be
done, yet all proved a failure for the
Good Lord whispered: Dear child,
come home.
We much learn to say, ooh, Lord,
they will be done, not ours"
He leaves to mourn his passing
his children already named, his wife,
two brothers, and host of friends.
He was a good husband and kind
father, fine neighbor, and affection
ate brother. It is with a breaking
heart we know that we will never
hear his sweet voice in this world
again.
Sleep on, dear Brother, and take
your rest until your loving Saviour
comes and awakens your mortal body
and fashions it like unto His own.
Written by Elder Thompson.

FARM NOTES
(By w. B. Collins)


Mr.. Alex Tugman, who lives nine
miles out of Boone on the Jefferson
Road, has a very fine demonstration
where he applied $50 lbs. of Chilean
Nitrate of Soda per acre on half of
his wheat land. His wheat now looks
as though there would be a consider
able increases in yield where the Nj
trate was used.
The farmers of the county are in
vited to meet at this farm on Thurs
day, June 9th, at 2 p. m. to observe
this demonstration. At this meeting
five dollars in prizes will be given to
farmers or farm boys who guess
nearest to the difference in yield of
wheat where the nitrate was applied.
Mr.. Tugman has one of the IVA
demonstration farms of the county,
and some results are beginning to
show from the use of the IVA phos-
phate. 1t will be time we'll spent for
any farmer to attend the meeting at
the Tugman farm in June 9th.

UNION VETERAN RECALLS
AIDING DYING LINCOLN
Jacob Soles Helped Carry MOrtally
Wounded President from
FOrd's Theater

At 90, there isn't much left in life
for Jacob Soles but memories. The
memories, though, are rich, especially
his vivid recollection of the night he
helped carry Abraham Lincoln, mort
ally wounded, from Ford's theater.
War department records verify the
act. Soles, with other gunners of
Thompson's Battery c, independent
Pennsylvania light artillery, strolled
into the theater while the show was
progressing.
They took seats, he recalls, in the
balcony adjoining the presidential
box. The shot dazed his party mo-
mentarily, but hearing woman's
scream the troopers leaped to Lin
coins side.
eve four fellows carried him to
the stairway then two others fell in
and helped u.s." Soles recalls. eve
had the president on the street about
five minutes before somebody found
e place to put him. Down long, dark
corridor in brick house we carried
him to a bedroom. We had scarcely
stretched him on the bed when a mill
tary guard was set up around him
and we were ordered out
Soles had been stationed near the
White House and knew the comman-
der-in-chief as a friend.

BUMPER YIELD OF OATS
EXPECTED IN DAVIDSON

REORGANIZATION county grain
growers apparently are agreed that
this county is probably producing
the bumper oats crop in it's history
this year.
Several fields are reported to have
prospects of yielding near 100 BUSH
els per acre, while other larger boun-
daries are expected to average around
rs bushels per acre.
Some unusual barley yields also are
expected, but wheat is not expected to
produce more than two-thirds of a
crop, considering the large amount of
straw. Rains that hindered proper
maturity of the wheat seemed to have
aided the oats.

GOVERNOR APPROVES
WINE-MAKING RULES
Regulations Drafted by Commissioner
Graham Follow Federal
Law Closely

Governor Ehringhaus last week ap-
proved regulations drawn up by Com
missioner of Agriculture w. A..
Graham to, govern the manufacture
of wine in North Carolina as "test"
case to clarity some provisions of the
wine act passed by the 1885 legisla-
Tture was postponed in Greensboro
municipal court on June Is.
The definitions, rules and regula-
tions for the industry as approved
closely follow those of the United
States department of agriculture and
the United States bureau of internal
revenue, in so far as they are consist
ent with the provisions of the state
act.
Natural wine is defined as a"pro-
duct made from the normal alcoholic
fermentation of the juice of sound,
ripe grapes without addition or alb
straction, except such as may occur
in the usual cellar treatment of clari-
fication and aging, provided that SUI
gar may be added to correct natural
deficiencies"
"Fermented beverages made from
fruits other than grapes may not be
designated as wine or natural wine,"
the regulations state, but must be
designated artificial or imitation
wine, or may be designated by the
name of the fruit from which it is
made, such as "orange wine" "black-
berry wine," strawberry wine," etc.
Wines manufactured under pro-
visions of the act shall be made from
crops grown in North Carolina, and
such wines and elders must be only
of alcoholic strength as produced by
natural fermentation with no wine,
spirits, brandy or other form Of dis
titled spirits added.
The regulations permit the use of
certain additions to offset seasonal
or climatic conditions such as occur
in wines.
Places where wine is to be manu-
featured must be kept clean and sani-
tary, and the regulations and meth
ODDS of control applying to foods I'M
der the food ond drugs act will apply
to wines and elders since they are
defined as foods.
Graham reminded that a permit to
manufacture wine for sale must be
procured from the United States bu-
reau of internal revenue and the
maker must comply with federal re-
quirements.

SOPRANO RECITAL.

Aurelia Neville Beck gave a recital
last evening in Barker Hall of the
Y. w. c. A, for which Edith Virden-
Smith issued invitations. The hall
was comfortably filled and the audi
ence enthusiastic in its applause. Miss
Beck Is endowed with a voice of un-
usual richness and wide range, her
high tones having very definite So
prano quality and the medium and
low tones richness not often found
even in mezzo-soprano voices. She
gives promise Of a brilliant future,
though her medium and low tones
lack volume and resonance, both of
which are markedly developed in her
high tones.
The program last evening was a
trying one for even an advanced stu
dent and included the aria Amour!
Viens Alder" from Saint-Saens' Sam
son and Delilah"; Donaudy's 20 Del
Mic Amato Ben" a group of songs in
French, q group in German and a
group in English. At the close of the
program Miss Beck gave as an encore
the Brahms 'Weigenleid," which she
sang in English with delicacy and
exquisite pianissimo tones.

paniments and Miss Beck brought hel

Old-fashioned makeup has hit
Hollywood. This is a strange sight in
a city for several years dedicated to
the natural countenance. Ladies of
the silver screen outdid one another
to appear as God made them in pub
lie. Their smooth, clear, tanned skins
were anointed with fragrant oil, for
shine was chic a Summer ago.
Now, these Self-Same devotees of
things natural have gone in for good
old-fashioned white powder, gobs of
raspberry rouge, milder mOuths-for
after all you can't emphasize the
mouth quite SO much when the cheeks
look like a pair Of cheap linen roses.
The eyes, of course, come in for the
usual amount of shadow and mascara.
Joan Crawford uses no cheek rouge.
Her chalk-white face Is becoming her
trademark. Her wide scarlet mouth
and great shadowed eyes contribute
to certain pallid charm which is
approved by many.
Virginia Bruce goes in for q makeup
reminiscent of the good old days
cheeks rouged to q fare-you-well,
kohl-rimmed eyes, well-penciled brows
and lots Of white powder on her cute
little nose.
And Mrs. Gary Cooper has taken
up the renaissance of cheek rouge
heartily, too. A fioury nose goes with
the picture. Hard to prophesy how
long such things will last perhaps
as long as any fad which hits a bored
people.

ESAR FRANCK'S Quintet In
FMinor" was used as a climax
to the program given last eve
~ ming by the National String
Quintet at the Phillips GAL
lery under the auspices Of the WASH
ington Composers Club. The major
part Of the scheduled works comprised
John Alden Finckels Suite for String
Quartet" Henry Gregors two pieces
for violin and piano. Prelude in
Dorian Mode" and "Orientale," and
two songs for soprano with string quar-
tet accompaniment, "Cossack Cradle
Song" and Mistress Mine" The

with George Wargo substituting last
evening for Samuel Feldman, viola:
John Alden Flnckel. cello. and Alice
Finckel, piano, was assisted by Helen
Howinson, soprano.
In spite Of the limitations imposed
by the Dorian mode, Mr.. Gregor has
succeeded in writing an impressive
prelude with an emotional content
evolved through as many variations as
the theme will permit. To the playing
of Henri Sokolov and Alice Finckel
was due complete appreciation Of its
rare quality, for the two artists gave it
an Interpretation Of deep insight and
with an artistic approach which only
fine musical experience could give. In
"Orientale" Mr.. Gregor has also in
corporated a mood with adroitness
which the artists again caught with
fine skill.
The two songs by Mary Howe
formed a contrast, one to the other
and to the rest of the program. Miss
Howinson used her easy lyric voice
with fine effect, in both numbers
reaching q high note with q particu-
larly pleasing pianissimo. The string
quartet provided satisfactory back
ground which blended with the tonal
color Miss Howinson used in her in
depreciation.
After the performance Of Franck's
quintet the artists were given an
ovation for a reading Of true tntui-
tion, warmth of feeling and musical
import. The surge of Franck's music
were reproduced by the players in q
splendidly uniform ensemble and an
elastic tone of deep sentiment.
The opening number. Finckels
"Suite for String Quartet" is written
in four movements which bear the
title, Tender" Dubious" "Sombre"
and Content" The Interpretation
OF the members of the quartet was
greeted with genuine enthusiasm. Mr..

Orr, diveSted of his bishops robes OF

WHILE the presence OF Miss Barry
w more in the cast gave some OF
the players a sort of timid look and a
kind of laudable suppression which
never permitted them even to glance
at center stage. they went along for
the most part with the speed and good
humor that Author Vaughan must
have wanted for his play and one
which makes it particularly bright
and appealing evening in the theater.
After some of this seasons So-called
comedies it seemed even brighter than
that-even after the eight years OF its
heyday had elapsed. A brittle, sophis-
ticated bit of entertainment, in which
the fluttering of handkerchief, the
fiicking of an eyelash and the warm,
forgiving nature of its leading charac-
ter play the most important parts, it
revived memories of better days in the
theater and seemed to indicate that If
Miss Barrymore chooses to bloom
once again its its midst why then let
her get another Constant Wife and
bloom.
