DEATHS
"CrawP Webb Dead.
Mr. Henry Crawford Webb
died here at Rockingham, in his
rooms over the Dockery-McNair
store, on last Saturday afternoon
at 5 o'clock. He had been in
poor health for many months,
and bad to give up his position
with the W. E. McNair furniture
store about two months ago. He
more recently had been taking
treatment at a Chalrlotte hospital,
returning here two weeks ago.
The funeral was held from the
residence of nis brother, Dr. W.
P. Webb, Sunday afternoon, the
Odd Fellows fraternity marching
in a body and having charge of
the service. Interment was at
OldEastside.
Mr. Webb was born Sept. 10,
1871. On Sept. 19, 1894, he mar
ried Miss Gertie Alden, who died
Dec. 27, 1915. There were five
children born to the union, three
of whom are dead, and two living
Arnmie, aged 15, a student the
past, year at Christ School, and
Cecilia, aged 7.
Rufus H. Bennett.
The sudden death on last Sunday morn
ing of Rufus H. Bei'nett, of Ellerbe, came
as a shock to his many friends. Mr.
Bennett had been in his average health
until on Monday, May 16th, he was found
lying unconcious near the residence of
James R. Bennett, his son, in Ellerbe
with whom he lived. The doctors quick,
ly discovered that high blood pressure
was his trouble, but they could not locate
the cause of this high blood pressure.
He had another attack on Thursday
night, the 19th, and the next night he
was made unconscious for a few minutes
by a third attack. It was deemed best to
carry him to' Charlotte for examination
and treatment, so Saturday afternoon he
and his son, James R., Dr.-Maness and a
trained nurse left Ellerbe in an automo
bile for Charlotte, reaching that city late
in the afternoon. He stood the trip re
markably well, showed little signs of fat
igue and remarked that if he had gone a
few miles more in the car he believed he
would have felt entirely well. He was
placed in the Presbyterian hospital on
arriving in Charlotte, and two specialists
at once went into his case. They too,
agreed that high blood pressure was his
trouble. Soon after midnight he dropped
off to sleep, but about two hours later
woke up, sat up in bed and it was seen
that he was suffering from another at
tack. His nurse used her every effort to
relieve him but he passed away in a few
minutes, expiring at 4:20 Sunday morn
ing. The remains were brought in Rocking
ham Sunday night and carried to Mr. Ben
nett's home at Ellerbe. The funeral was
held Monday afternoon from the resi
dence by Rev. Mr. Bridges, and inter
ment was in the Chappel graveyard, near
Ellerbe.
Mr. Bennett was born April 9. 1854,
and so was 68 years, 1 month and 13 days
old. He was a son of John J. and Sarah
Jones Bennett. His hrst wife died a num
ber of years ago, and four children sur
i vive from urioa, these being Janu-:
! R. Bennett, Mrs. J. A McRae, Mrs. H. D.
I Godfrey and Mrs. Colon Covington. To
! his second union there suvives three
children: Paul, Earnest and Wilson. He
I was a minuter of Shiron Baptist church,
I was president of the Bennett Bank &
j Trust Co., and was a stockholder in other
banks and in Rockingham mills.
Jack Kaithcock. (
Mr. Jack Haithcock, aged about 71,
! died at the County Home Wednesday
' night at 11:30 of heart dropsy. He was
admitted to the Home the first part of
' April. The interment was held at the
Home cemetery this afternoon.
Baby Boy Dead.
Harry, the two-year old son of
Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Thomas, of
Pee Dee No. 2 village, died Sat
urday night, and the little body
was buried Sunday afternoon at
Northam by Rev. A. E. Dallas.
The little fellow succumbed to
that dread May malady colitis.
A Sulky Rake That Gives
Extra Service
There's real economy in buying a John Deere
Sulky Rake. Because of its better construction, better
material used, and the adjustments provided to keep
it in good working order, it will give you more years
of satisfactory service than any other rake we have
ever seen.

Roberdel School.
The Post-Dispatch is only too
glad to have reports from the
various schools, and especially is
it desirous of having full reports
of every Commencement. We
had hoped to have a long account
of the recent Commencement at
Roberdel. The principal, Mr.
Scott, assured the editor that he
would give the full details in an
article, with the names of the
winners of the medals and other
awards. But the article was
never written. However, a lady
friend of the school this week
sent the paper the following short
outline of the Commencement,
and we are publishing it; but at
the same time we wish some one
connected with the school had
sent in earlier a more adequate
article, and giving in detail the
entire program as carried out.
"On Monday night, April 25th, the in
termediate grades gave a play, some
recitations and songs that gave great
credit to pupils and trainers.
On Tuesday night was the declamation
contest by three girls and two boys of
which any school might' be proud. The
prizes were two medals given by Miss
Bessie Terry, of Rockingham; thewinners
were Kathleen Thomas and Cecil McRae.
Wednesday night was the graduating
exercises during which the diplomas and
certificates were awarded. The com
msncement address was given by 'Prof.
R. L. Flowers, of Trinity College, which
was very interesting and educational.
The graduates were Clara Stogner,
William Nicholson, John Bailey and J.
Reid Key.
Its heavy angle steel
frame never sags the ad
justable tie rod keeps the
frame true, always.
' The heavy steel wheels
with an extra number of
staggered spokes, pro
tected by the channel steel
tire, are Interchangeable,
giving double wear on the
ratchets.
t The arched steel axles
give the proper pitch to
the wheels the wheels
never pull in at the top
and out at the bottom.
The dump rods are re
versible, giving double
wear at this important
.point. Tooth holder ac
commodates almost any
desired number of teeth.
You can maintain the
good working qualities of
the John Deere Rake for
years.
And from the operating
standpoint, it is simple
and easy to handle.
We want you to com m and m this better hay rake.

Eyes That Squint
People having a tendency
to squint may be relieved of
the awkward, unbecoming
habit by wearing proper
glasses.
Squint is caused by nerv
ous twitching of the evelids,
and is positive proof of de
fective eyes.
Children should have
their eyes examined before
being taxed by study. Defects
may be remedied then that,
if left alone, may cause much
distress in after years.
