There will be a most delightful lawn party held at the Park Friday night, July 11th, tor the benefit of the parks of the town, under the auspices of the Civic League. Every citizen of Weldon is inter ested in this work and the ladies make an earnest appeal to all to attend the lawn party Friday night. There will be a most enjoyable musical program by the Weldon string band. This feature alone should help to have a large attend ance. Plenty of refreshments will be served at reasonable prices.

I regret that the east and middle west are suffering with such intense heat. We are enjoying cool and refresh ing breezes. A few days ago two car loads of snow were brought down from the mountains by the Moffatt Railroad and the sight of the people snow balling each other in June was novel to some, yet in passing over the continental divide, I am near snow every day. Mr. Parker still loves his native county and we trust that he may send us down a few of the cool breezes from the snow clad moun tains over which he passes every day. Birthday Party. Master Wil liam Alexander Pierce celebrated the sixth anniversary of his birth day at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Pierce, 1 hursday alternoon, from hve to seven o'clock.

Many of her little friends in the neighborhood were invited to enjoy the happy occasion with her and the children had a glorious time. After indulging in plays and games on the lawn they were in vited into the dining room where the most delicious refreshments were served. The little lady re ceived quite a collection of gifts and all these she prizes very high ly. Her guests extended hearty congratulations and wished for their charming little hostess many happy returns of the day. Collection Plates Present ed. There was a very pretty and interesting service at tne m. c. Church Sunday morning when the pastor on behalf of the Juve nile Society of the Woman's Home Mission Society presented to the church four handsome silver col lection plates, and one memorial silver plate in memory of little John Zollicoffer, who began the work with the Baby Roll to collect for these plates, but who was called away soon after the work was started. These plates were accepted by W. A. Pierce, chairman of the board of stewards, for the congregation. Mr. Pierce made a few appropriate remarks, in accepting these handsome plates. The children who made the handsome gifts occupied seats on the front pews, and took part in the service by singing an appro priate song. Mrs. H. C. Spiers and Mrs. J. A. Hornaday are at the head of these children's socie ties and they have been doing splen did work in encouraging the little folks in their efforts to raise the funds sufficient to purchase the plates. Fire Alarm. The alarm of fire Thursday morning was on account of fire being discovered under the roof of one of the tenement houses down on East Second street. The Are was soon put out and the dam age was slight. First Blooms The first cot ton blooms ot the season were re ceived at this office July 3rd. J. W.

The Weldon Ice and Fuel Co. has re ceived a handsome two horse de livery wagon, and we learn that the new ice plant will be ready for business by the 15th. The com pany will deal in ice, coal and wood, and with ample capital back ing the enterprise we expect to see the company succeed. The new ice plant is located in South Weldon, is a substantial brick structure and is equipped with all the latest and most improved ap pliances for the manufacture of ice. We are informed that there will be a plentiful supply of ice for everybody just as soon as this wagon goes on the streets and that the new factory has a capacity suf ficient to supply every demand made upon it. To Our Slumbering Sisters. Because we have prohibition law in North Carolina is no reason we women can sit inactive and re main secure against the whiskey liquor traffic. For the big brewery men are sending out advertise ments of their cheap liquors to en lice young men and create an ap petite that lures them on and on, only to reap the harvest of blighted manhood. But our sisters betore whom so many doors of usefulness stand open and the prohibition cause the greatest are slumbering and at ease. Inquire of them why this apathy? Everyone of them will answer 1 am a temperance woman, but the purity bow of white is never pinned on them. She slum bers on careless of the conse quences of the helpless babe rest ing upon her bosom that she would defend with her own life's blood. Sisters it may be too latejoo late when you don the "Ribbon white" that emblem of chastity speaking so audibly yet so softly good will to all mankind. Join the White Ribbon army and come "out and out" against that monster the liquor traffic. W. C. T. U. of Weldon. Adv. A County Map. The Halifax m- county officials Monday decided 10 have a map made of Halifax coun ty. The map will show every township, every church, school, creek, branch, farm owners, etc., and it will be one of the most com plete maps ever made of a coun ty. This map will cost about $2,000, of this amount one-third will be paid hy the County Board of Commissioners, one-third by the Board of Education and the other third by the Highway Com mission. A map of this kind will be very valuable, and it is believed that after the map is made that copies can be sold as low as $5 each and that in this way the county can sell maps enough to pay the cost of making the map. Individual Service Used. The congregaiion of the M. E. Church was a lit tie surprised Sun day morning when the pastor an nounced that an individual com munion service would be used. Mr. Hornaday stated that the board of stewards by a unanimous vote decided sometime ago to give the individual service a fair trial. That they also decided not to dis cuss the matter, hence the an nouncement was a comple surprise to the communicants of the church. The pastor heartily approves of the individual service and said that the public cup is a thing of the past. He spoke of the action of railroad companies in doing away with the public cup, and said that people might as well recognize the tact now as later that the day was fast approaching when there would be no such thing as a public cup; that the tendency now was tor every thing individual. The congrega tion appears well pleased with the individual service and the church will never again return to the old custom of passing the single cup to the lips of two or three hundred communicants.
