On the morning of the first Sunday in December, 1915, we met immediately after the close of the Sunday School, and organ ized an Epworth League, with en rollment of thirty members. The foliowi ug officers were elected: Mr. C. L. Blount, Pres; Mr. E. J. Gerock, Vice-Pres.; Miss Agues Johnson, 2nd. Vice Pres.; Mrs. S. J. Boyette, 3rd. Vice President; Miss Margaret Spar ger, 4th, Vice President; Mr. D. P. Boyette, Recording Secretary; Mrs. L. 8. Savage, Treasurer: Miss Nelie Baker, Corresponding Secretary; Mr*. D. *P. Boyette, Eoworth Era Agent; Mrs S. J. Boyette, Organist.. Owing to the cicknees and absence of our pas tor, we were delayed in the instal lation of officers until the fourth Sunday night in January. 1916, which was impressively perform ed. We feel that we are well organ ized, and are now ready to go forward with' tins noble work, which we are so much interested in, and will gladly d<* all in our power, with the Holy Spirit and Thy Guiding Hand to-make it one of the moat successful and bene ficial Leagues of our Conference. We have held two very Devo tional Services, which the whole congregation seemed to - tho roughly enjoy. Our League meets the firat Sunday night io eackmonth, and we extend a cor dial invitation to the public to at tend. Miss Nelie Baker, Cor. Sec. - IH IEIOKIAV. j ! Mr8- Lucy Briitun, wife Of Mr. John C. Britton died at her home j? Pnwellaville. Feb. 2nd follow ; ing a brief illness of pneumonia, ** 5' veers. Her death w*s a Kreat ?hock to her large circle of freiuds, aa few people even knew ?he was sick. Oh! how it was to |*,ve u" Ihis good woman, indeed we would kept her longer if we I Hhe rf'jT ''will, and "he did her duty while she lived, and when she could oo longer livel >he folded her hands acioss her reast and with a sweet smile on he' face, quietly fell fa, sleep. Mrs. Br it ton was a devoted and faithful member of the Powells-' vWht M. E. Church and was in ?Iced a model church member in every way, being an enthusiastic I worker in both church and Sun day school, where she will be greatly missed and not only by the i church and the community at large hut most of all in the home ithich ?he loved so dearly. One'did not have to stay Iong m her home to lean, that Imppineas abode there and one will ever feel the influence of ibis sweet christian character. Mrs. Britton's home life was idea I, the tender aflection existing between her aud her husband was '"?deed beautiful. She was a de voted wife, mother, and step mother, but she not only practiced the good things of religion in her home, but carried the spark of di vine love in Iter heart every where "lie went. She had a loving heart a strong mind, and a clear c?n' caption of duty, and her efforts to bless and make happy did not end ?n her own family, but she tried to upbuild the community. But the most valuable of this busy life outside ber own borne,' was probably in the church wherAhe was such a valuable worker, as she could always be depended on to-d? her part to advance the work of the Kingdom of God. therefore e wisdom and ability, which she exercised in the aid of the chnrch and Sunday school, by service contributions and high counsel! will always be held in grateful re> mem bra nee, and while we mourn Iter departure and faithful attend auce at all meetings, we rejoice to know her sufferings are over and she has gone to be with her Saviour she loved so dearly and to reap her reward. A good woman ia gone, one who was loved by all. Our hearts' sympathy giies out to the aged husband, daughter, step childreu, relatives and friends, and may He who has taken away give them His fatherly care and nroteclion, administering to the1> in a|l things. On Friday afternoon her funer al was preached by Rev. L- D. Hay man, of Windsor, among a large concourse of sorrowing rela tives and friends, and her body laid to rest in the family cemetery to await the resurrection tnorn. Since you have gone and left us all aloui, Bowed beneath a sense of loss and i?ain., How can we live on and see you no more, Only for the hope that we shall meet again. Your sweet voice we miss from day to day; Will we not hear it sometime, somewhere! / That voice that spoke so tenderly. Yes, we'll, hear ft over there. Yes, we'll hear it In $J?\t dear home of love. After life's trials and troubles are o'er. How sweet the thought of that welcome home. Where we'll meet our loved ones as before. E. M. B. Harrellsville Mail Schedule.

' (tritUl kj ta>l< IIUMI, ferretli fcfesD In reg*rd to the country schools I will give some of W t<i?9e?.? coj> corning the subject. i First ofsll, the school building haven't the equipment that thev should have. It iv "'ten tb? case when the buildings are too small, old and faded, a i*rt of the win dow lights out. and lame crack*, it often make* it very uucomfort able for the uupil* and teacher. When the building* are an small and faded I believe mime children are often discouraged while in their school day*. And owing t<> these fact.. I ?ee no reaeon why the peoule of <>Ur couuty should not wake ut> to the importance of Jjetter school buildings. I do not see why the country school buildings should not be as comfortable a* tho-e of towijs and cities. And another thing. the yards should be cleaned up,, aud made aa attractive as possible In some communities the school buildings are so far spurt, and there are no rural schools, it makes it much to the disadvantage of some children to get U> school. These thinifs should he looked af ter also, and esoeciall.v where there lis compulsory educaHuu. How ever, with these disadvantages, there some very important things that sre learned at the country schools, and many hle**ant recess es spent with our school mates, which will linger in our memory for quite a while. If it were not for the country schools there would be so many more children than there are that wouldJautroW ing up without an education. I guess there are some children who were lucky enough to have al ways been school to some altrac tive building, while passing some of the school buildings in our | countrrwrraM I?""* ^fT.-Ttierr I heads toward them, owing w> their desolation, not even thinking of the child who hat not been quite so fortunate as he. The country boy and girl should be educated as well as those of the city, for I'm sure they need it just as bad. Sir, let's us country girls and boy* put forth every effort possible to make the country what it should be. If there are apt comfortable desks, they should be provided, and a good library should be of ?interest, too. I Wlieve in having individual drinking W* at school, for it is of much importance con cerning our health. And the school building should be proper ly ventilated. i But. if we are not fortunate enough to have the school we ought, we should uotget discour aged; but take courage. and be lieve what we learn to be of much use to us in our future days. Meeting ol Si. Johns Township Teachers. The teachers of St. Johns Town shio held their monthly meeting in the St. Johns* school building on Saturday. February 96, at 10 o'clock. The meeting proved to be of much interest, Afterariund table discussion of the methods used in teaching geography, the different methods of teaching spelling pere discuss ed to some extent. We were very glad to have witb.us at this meet ing Supt. N. W. Britton; for after the discussions were i.vfcr, some time was spent in asking him tjues tions in regard to the County Commencement, in which each teacher seemed deeply interested. It was decided that all contestants in the St. Johns Township should meet at the St. Johns school build ing on Saturday afternoon, April I, at 2 o'clock, for the purpose of deciding who should ~ represent St. Johns Township in the decla mation and recitation 'Contest at the County Commencement. The next Township- teaehers meeting will be held IKarch 25 at the regular hour. Aad 'the work for this meeting will be a round table discussion of "How to Tell Stories to Children.?Contributed. ?r NKWS AND PERSONALS FROM AULANDER.

These two journeyed to ConaritM Friday afternoon and both were victor ioua in the township conteat held at that place. This latter victory entitles them to the privelege of representing this township in the county contest to be held in Wind sor. Mr. Julian Wood, of Kelford , was a visitor in our town last ] week, | Mrs. M. E. Kice has returned ! from Turkey .V. C. where she has 1 been visiting her parents. Little Melba Kice the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.E. L. Rice of ^his town suffered a suained wrist briday afternoon in Ahoskie while enroute to Windsor. Mr. (.<? W. Mitchell was in Ral eigh last week on business. The concert given bv the music class in the school auditorium last * Thursday evening was u most creditable entertainment and was thoroughly enjoyed by the few who were present. This small at tendance was certainly a dis appointment'to the boys and girls who had studied and rehearsed their parts faithfully for two weeks, to the iiarenls of these children who nad bellied them and worked with them in making cos tumes, snd to the teacher% who bad spent both time and energy in rendering tliair skilled assistance during the rehearsals. It was a lieautifui night and the tempera ture was only slightly below 50; there were no rival attractions, and only a small admission fee was charged. Rut where were the people of Aulanderf Prof. L. G. Bullard was taken ill suddenly last Friday afternoon and remains confined to his room. A quick recovery is hoped for by his many friends. A large crowd attended the de bate held in the school auditorium last Friday evening. Messrs. Dwight Castellow, Gordon Tayloe, Vernon Lassiter and Ferris Hog gard won the right to represent Aulander in'the triangular debate to be held later. The pa-nmount issue of Preparedness was the question discussed by these de baters. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases -put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. Par a great many years doctors pro. nouncad it a local\ disease and pre scribed local remedies, and gy con stantly failing to care with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufatured by F. J.
