Mrs Joe ROBERTS BURT (sic), whose health has been declining for several years,
died at the home of her sister-in-law, Mrs Jennie BURT, Friday, December 28th. 
Mrs ROBERTS and her nephew, Mr Frank BURT Jr, lived here but had been staying
with Mrs BURT since her son, Mr James GRAY, has been in the army.  The funeral
was -------- SPINKS, Saturday afternoon and the remains were interred in the
cemetery here.  Mrs ROBERTS was the second wife of the lat Mr George ROBERTS of
Woodstock.  She leaves no children, but from childhood she has had with her her
devoted nephew, Mr Frank BURT Jr, who has done everything that a son could have
done.  Many beautiful flowers were placed on the grave attesting the high esteem
in which this good woman was held by her relatives and friends.  At rest, no
more pain and suffering and the afflictions of old age, affect aunt Joe now. 
The surviving relatives have the sympathy of the community.

Mr E D FITZGERALD died at his home near Mount Olive Xmas day.  The funeral and
interment was at Mars Hill Thursday.  Mr FITZGERALD had been confined to his
