The Tennessee Legislature is
tangling itself np over the suffrage
. act. The anti-suffragists are try
ing to rescind the action of that
£ body in favor of the amendment.
I* But the passage ofj the aniend-
I ment has already been certified
: to the Secretary of State at Wash
[' ington and it looks like the antis
will have great difficulty in re
versing the action of the Legisla-
I tore at this stage of the game.
Senator Harding proposes to
construct a fabric to take the
place of the Peace Covenant and
League of Nations from the Hague
Peace Council and some other
material, forgetting that the Hun
almost ran over the Peace Palace
in his rush toward Paris in 1914.
Graham Public Schools Will Open
Monday, Sept. 13th.
The Public Schools of Graham

expect to enter are urged to be at
school promptly, so that the work of
classifying them may be completed
as quickly as possible. Itjs import
ant that all should be present tbe
first day. Because of the delay in
getting necessary repairs made it was
necessary to postpone the opening
from the 6th to 13th.

1920 graduates of Trinity College;
Miss Julia Rowe, Stonewall, 1920
graduate of East Carolina Teacher
Training School; Miss Bessie Thomp
son, Graham, a teacher of several
year's experience in the schools of
Alamance county; Miss Jessie Phil
lips, Graham, graduate of Asheviile
Normal, two year's experience; Miss
Mary Walker, graduate of N. C. Col
lege for Women, two year's ex
/ perience.
There is still one vacancy to be
filled.
Circus Day oa the Way.
Years may come and to, times
and customs change, but a circus
is always a joy to young and old.
So all will be delighted to know
that Sparks Circus is on its way
and will exhibit in Burlington on
Friday, Sept. 10th.
Certainly this is one of the
greatest shows that has ever come
to Alamance county. It ineladee
almost everything in the way of
entertainment from the champion
high jumping horse of the world,
to Madge Evans, a dainty little
Miss who puts a herd of monster
elephants through their paces
twice daily. Then there are feats
of strength and balancing that
seem to defy every law of gravi
tation. There is the daring Ke
nova "Upside down man" who
aeeends an entire flight of twelve
steps while balanced on his head
and the great Matoka in his thrill
ing slides for life on a slender
wire extending nearly the entire
length of the "dig top." There
axe truly wonjlerfnl exhibitions of
bareback riding, dancing horses,
the Flying Earls, the Conners in
light wire evolutions, Miss Irma,
a living replioa of Mary Pick
ford —acclaimed to bo "The Mary
Pickford of the.high wire."
The Sparks Circus has the repu
tation of Riving more for the
money than any other circus in
the tented field and all the fea
tures will be seen in the glitter
ing .bewildering street parade at
10:30 o'clock on circus day.

An Unusual Anniversary.
The one hundred and fiftieth an
niversary of the founding of Orange
Presbytery of the Presbyterian
church will becelebratod out at Haw
fields church Sunday, Sept. sth.
The |church at Hawfields antedates
the founding of the Psesbytery some
what over 10 years. It marks an
unusual fact in North Carolina his
tory, and is among the comparatively
few churches in the State that date
back that far. An attractive pro
gram has been prepared.
A matter of interest to this com
munity is tbe fact that the Presby
terian church of Graham is the oldest
daughter of Hawßelds, being organ
ized in 1856 As a mark of respect
lor the mother church, the congre
gation of the' Graham church will
worship, weather permitting, with
the Hawfields congregation and
Orange Presbytery there at
this time, Suuday morning at 11
o'clock.
