Mrs. Cora Gilyard died at her home on North Caldwell Street Mondy morning at 4 o’clock after an illness of a few days. Mrs. Gilyard was a loyal member of Grace A.M.E. Zion church and the death of this good woman is widely felt in the community in which she lived and the church of her choice. Deep sympathy goes out for the members of this bereaved family. The funeral services were conducted at the church Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock by Rev. Mitchell, Dr. S.D. Watkins and others.
The umbrella social given under the direction of Mrs. Morris Walker in the basement of Grace church on last Monday evening was a decided success. Mrs. Walker is an excellent church worker and every effort she attempts is crowned with success.

Sunday night was our sixth monthly pleasant Sunday. The musical program was in charge of the senior choir and of a high order. Prof. Bell, Supt. of the Public Schools of Richmond County, made the principal address. After paying a glorious tribute to the Rev. W.H. Taylor for the work he is doing in the church and community, he made a splendid address, which was timely and helpful to the citizens of Rockingham, commending their good works and urging improvements where needed. It was a high day in Zion. Visitors were Dr. Robinson of Hamlet, Prof. H.H. Falkner of Greensboro of the graded school, and Prof. Everett.
