The semi annual convention of the
Sjuuilay Sellout workers of Brinkleyville
township was held at Ringwood the

It is comforting and encouraging to

and doing their best at all times to gloii
fy Him. I will say that Warreu and
Nash counties were represented in the
convention, members of the medical pro
fession, lawyers, merchants, farmers,
preachers, and Sunday school superin
tendents, men, women and children were
there. Seven out of the eight churches
iu tho Sunday school convention of the
township were represented, all sending
contributions. Four preachers of differ
ent denominations were present and gave
help and encouragement. Dinner in
abundance was served in a large and
beautiful oak grove. The next conven
tion goes to Central Cross M. K. church,
Knlield township tho largest in the
county is to hold its convention nt
Uawsons X Roads' Baptist church the
lib Sunday in June. Littleton township
is getting ready for its convention at
Littleton and I do sincerely trust that
each towuehip president in Halifax coun
ty will hold a convention before the mid
dle of July, as the convention comes off
at Halifax a little later on. I give here

writes Mr. Ed Chambers Smith as fol
lows: "If there is any straddle by our party
ou the silvei question, in cither Slate or
national convention, it would he the
surprcmcst folly to make a campaign in
this State. Our people by us havo been
tauiiht that free coiuaue is riht and
they believe it. It is needless for tin

listic to advocate freo coiuage. The

A Forfeited Game Harrison's
aggregation crossed bats with the Insti
tute fur the third gamu of the series at

sides claim the game, we think it
best that they play it again.
The facts are about as follows: The
lirst inning resulted in ought for each
lub. The next showed a score of 2 to
1 iu favor of the Towu. The third re
sulted iu placing the Institute boys ahead
by a score of G to 5. After this the In
stitute pulled further ahead by making
the figures read 13 to 9. In tho next
inuiug the t own walked away with the
boys and piled up runs. When the Iu
stitutes took up the stick in the final in
ning the Town was ahead, the score be-
lug 0 toll. 1 ho hrst two ot the In

mit that it was blocked, or at least there

The old maids of the United States
(principally from Halifax) met in con
vention here Monday night.
The free coinage of silver II! to 1,
fusion, nor the single standard were the
issues discussed. The one, all overshad
owing question was "llow shall we secure
husbands?"
Prior to the meeting of the conven
tion the famous Peak sisters, of Alaska,
appeared upon the rostrum and delighted
the large audience present with their lit
tle song of iuquiry about a certain
"Muffin Man," and other selections.
The convention was then called to
order, after one of the ladies had been
"rocked to sleep," the president, Angelina
Elcctriifina Hypnostria Clark, (Miss
Annie Travis) presiding. The secretary
July Polly Flipps, (Miss Jessie Gregory)
then read the minutes of the last meeting
and called the roll. The following dele
gates answeied to their names:
Elvira Skiddle iue-faddle (Miss Kate
Prescott); Jemima Buuip (Miss Elbe
Sater); Sami'utha Whoop em-up, (Mrs.
Calhoun); Glory Ann July Nebby Ciu
derelly Annabclla Green (Miss Elizabeth
Gregory); Edith May Pinkie Peachie
Rosy Lissy Brown (Miss MeNauiura);
Hannah Susanna Sugarham (Miss Mb
Malum); Belinda Bluegrass (Miss Fannie
Sater; Tryphcnia Tryphonia Fling (Miss
Hill); Sallie Skecters (Miss Cooper);
Tilda Smoots, (Miss Susie Hill); Marian
Francis Rose Beauty Spot Temptation
Touch me not, (.Miss Helen Daniel);
Celeslia Paulina Carolina Louisa Miffkins
(Miss Nelson.)
Each of the delegates gave their ex
perience in the cllorls they bad made to
capture husbands. The audience was fa
Tored with a "duct" by Miss Elvira Skid-dle-nie
fuddle' and a quartet! by "three"
old maids.
The business of the conventiou being
over, the rejuvenating machine, which
was warranted by the inveutor to giind
up old maids and turn out young "iris iu
their stead, was introduced by the inven
tor and to prove its merits she exhibited
two lovely specimens, who had foimerly
been old maids of no uncertain age. The
old maids then entered the machine one
by one and pretty soon bright, happy
little girls began to roll out, to the aston
ishment of all, and this wound up the
convention. The Halifax people have
great talent for unique eutertainments
and the Old Maids' Convention will be
remembered as one of their most pleas
ing performances. Refreshments wcie
served the visitors in the hall by the
ladies of Weldon after the convention
was over.
The cntertaiument was for the benefit
of the Episcopal church here and the
ladies and gentlemen of Halifax have the
thanks of this town for the delightful
entertainment afforded, as well as for the
pecuniary benefits received.
