The Woman’s Club is beginning the new year with renewed energy and all the circles have set out with resolutions to keep busy until each one has turned in another $100 to apply to the purchase of the Club Home.
Mrs. J.G. Fearing, who had been away from the club for some time on account of illness, presided at the meeting Thursday and appealed to the members to make this the best year in the history of the club.
Mrs. F.S. Love, now of the city but formerly of Wilson, told of how the Wilson women built their club home, and her talk was full of inspiration and practical help.
Mrs. C.D. Bell, who took over the tea room, and saved its life during the interim when it was about to be without a manager, made a good report and her services were deeply appreciated by the club. Mrs. Bell said that she could not keep the work longer.
Mrs. R.J. Cohoon has taken over the management of the tea room, and prospects are bright for its continued success.
The Music Department reported a $160 deficit for the lyceum course and asked the members of the club to rally to the aid of the chairman, Mrs. M.S. Bulla, and the secretary, Mrs. W.P. Duff.
If every club member will buy one ticket for the next concert, which is to be the last, the deficit will be paid. Otherwise, the club will have to pay the debt out of the Club House fund, which would be little short of a calamity.

Rozier, Jan. 2—The death of Mr. W.B. Baxley was indeed sad. Friends had expected his death for several weeks. Death occurred at Pittman hospital, Fayetteville.
The remains were brought home and laid to rest in the family burying ground at Great Marsh. The funeral was conducted by his pastor, Rev. J.L. Humphrey of Rozier church. Mr. Humphrey paid high tribute to Mr. Basley, having been raised up with him, said he had never seen a wrong act of his in his life. He died singing “amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound.” The floral offerings were indeed beautiful. One wreath was given by the 7th grade of the St. Paul School, of which his son Almond is a member. He leaves a wife and three children. We extend to the family our deepest sympathy.

Bordighera, Jan. 4—Dowager Queen, Margherita, mother of King Victor Emmanuel, died today in her 75th year. She had been ill of pulmonary pleurisy for several weeks. Her son, King Emanuel, and other members of the royal family came at 11 o’clock this morning, having been summoned hurriedly yesterday when a sudden turn for the worse was noted.
The patient late last night sank into a coma from which, despite heroic efforts by her doctors, she never emerged. Actual cause of her death was cerebral blood clots which developed last night.
Margherita was the best beloved queen Italy ever had, not only because of her personal sweetness but because she herself was Italian, being born a Princess of Savoy.
Extreme unction was administered to the dying queen by Father Sismondini, who entered the death chamber at 8 o’clock this morning and remained for nearly an hour. The first message of condolence to arrive at the castle was from Premier Mussolini.
