Winston-Salem, March 8—The will of the late W.O. Crotts, well known citizen who passed away several days ago, was filed for probate today. It contains one very interesting provision. According to this provision, in the early 90’s the deceased became seriously ill with typhoid fever in the town of Danville and while he was convalescing a little girl cheered him and on many occasions brought him flowers. A legacy of $500 in remembrance of the kindness years ago was provided in the will for Miss L. Reedie Carter, and the will sates that she may be found in Danville, Va., Johnson City, Tenn., or Jacksonville, Fla.
