PRAYER FOR VICTORY.
The first week following; the action of the Cler
gy in calling the nation to ' Prayer for Victo.
ry" at noon every day, resulted in the great
Italian victory over Austria, in which over 200,000
of those savages were killed, wounded or captured.
The Supreme Architect of the Universe will help us
to victory, if we all ask it daily. The hand of
Providence was clearly visible in this great victory,
the greatest ever won by the Allies, in swelling
the river Piave which cut off the escape of the re
treating Huns.

Make the Home Attractive.
Our citizens should take pride
n their homes The word "home"
next to that of "moiher" is the
greaiest ever uttered by human
tongue. What a refuge the home
is when darkness gathers. How
glad one is to get a glimpse of
home when lime and space have
separated him from it only for a
period. There seems to be a rival
ry here in an effort to make "our
home" look a little neater and
thus be-ihe more inviting to the
occupants than all others. Such
rivalry is certainly pardonable.
When to Stop. When the
grasshopper ceases to hop and the
old cow quits her bawling; when
the fishes no longer hop and the
baby stops its squalling; when the
dunners no longer dun and the
hoot owl quits hooting; when the
riders ever cease to run and the
burglar stops his looting; when the
vine no longer runs and the sky
lark stops it, larking; when the
sun no longer shines and the
young man quits his sparking;
when the heavens begin to drop
and the old maids slop advising,
then it is time to shut up shop and
quit your advertising.
The Glorious Fourth. The
glorious Fourth" was observed
in a very sane manner in. Wel
don as there were no fire works
and but little display of any kind.
We are pleased to note, however,
one patriotic feature which while
very impromptu and unexpected,
was beautiful and original in idea,
This was a gathering of the young
ladies who compose the "eight
weeks" or "vacation club," at the
Confederate monument at six
thirty A. M., and alter singing
several patriotic selections then
made a tour of the principal streets
of th; town carrying a large U. S
flag and singing "America," "The
Star Spangled Banner," "Mar
seillaise," "Keep the Home Fires
Burning" and oiher popular war
songs, one of the young ladies was
especially striking in her represen
tation of "America,'' and the voices
blended well and sounded sweetly
on the early morning air. We
have heard in passing, that many
eyes were tear-dimmed and that
early visitors in Weldon were vis
ably impressed by this simple pa
triotic service on this historic day,
After the averaee man strikes it
rich it keeps him busy trying to
tor get oiu acquaintances.

An Automohile Accident.
Mr. G. S. Kennard, manager of
the Home Telephone Company at
this place, met with an accident
last Tuesday, breaking his right
arm. lie attempted to turn out of
the road for a buggy to pass and
ran too close to a ditch, the ma
chine turning over. Our young
friend has the sympathy of his
many friends, and all hope for his
speedy recovory.
Resigns as Chief of Police.
Mr. C. L. Evereli, who has been
chief of police of Weldon for the past
three years or more has tendered
his resignation, and the same has
been accepted by the Board of
Commissioners. He left for his
old home in Scotland Neck yester
day. He has made a most excel
lent officer and was a terror to evil
doers, was always brave and cour
ageous, and in the language of the
late (ius Williams, was "One of
the Finest." Should serious trou
ble ever arise, he will be much
missed. He had his faults, we all
have our faults. There is no one
perfect, but we can truthfully say,
he made a good officer.
Eight Weeks Club On last
Friday evening there was a call
meciingof the "Eight Weeks Club"
held at the home of Miss Londa
Shamburger. The purpose of the
meeting was to meet Miss Keihlyn
Monroe, of Pensacola, Florida,
Miss Monroe being the National
Inspector from the Y. W. C. A.
board of Eight Weeks Clubs for
Virginia, Nonh Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
There were twenty-five mem
bers and five visitors present.
There was no program prepared,
the entire evening being given to
Miss Monroe's inspiring talk and
to the outlining of the work. At
the close of the meeting Miss
Shamburger served a delicious
salad course.
Miss Monroe was the guest of
Miss Bessie Owen while it town.
War of 1812. The Washing
ton Post of Sunday bore a large
sheet picture of nine ladies whose
fathers fought in the war of 1812,
with a picture of the flag at that
mie with fifteen stripes and thir
teen stars. I hese ladies are all
iviug in Washington and are ac
tive in present war work. Weldon
can boast of one lady who belongs
this class Mrs. Anna Morecock
Russell. Mrs. Russell was born
and raised in Halifax county, near
Weldon and has lived in Weldon
for quite a number of years. Her
father, Captain Edward Morecock,
was in command of a company of
regulars during this war and died
at his home in Halifax county in
I KM5. His widow, Mrs. Russell's
mother, lived to be ninety-nine
years old and drew a pension up
until the lime of her death as a re
sult of her husband's services in
the United Siates Army.
God Made the Country and
Man Made the Town. It is
pleasant to go into the country at
this season of the year. There are
cattle on a thousand hills. There
are many herds of swine by the
roadside into which the evil, spirit
has not yet entered. There is a
cordial greeting when you meet
the farmer, the merchant or me
chanic. There is a welcome if you
enter the farm house and there is
always a hospitality, which is a de
light to share. Truly, God made
e country and man made the
town. hen you go into the
country you view uod s handi
work; you behold his bounty. You
see the beauty with which He has
adorned man's habitation. You
have more reverence for him be
cause of his manifold goodness to
the children of men. if you want
to feel young again; if you want to
forget care and let your thoughts
gambol; if you want to learn anew
the lesson of the Fatherland of
God; if you would commune with
nature and learn her message, get
yourself out into the country.
Seek the solitude of the everlast
ing hills, and a day so spent will
be to you a real Thanksgiving day.
Many a fluent talker never says
the right thing at the right time,
Women would soon tire of men
if men were as good as they think
they should be.

5th Field Artillery,
A. E. F.,
May 30th, 1918.
Dear Mama :
Well, we've been thru our first
attack, and I've never been thru
so much excitement in my life be
fore. Il was pulled off day before
yesterday and was a complete suc
cess, but we've had to do some
awfully hard Rghiing to hold what
we have taken, as the Boche to
date has tried no less than eight
strong counter-attacks. I'll begin
at the beginning and tell the whole
thing, tho' I believe I told you thai
I was (just then they brought in a
Boche Captain captured during
their Htb counter-attack, 3. A, M.,
holding them? Well, I reckon Don
Regimental Staff in charge of com
munications in Regt.; and Brigade
and Division Headquarters are
here in the same building, so we
knew all the time just what
was going on. We began our ar
tillery preparation about 5:30 A.
M., and an hour or so later the
first wave of our Infantry went
over the top. We were getting
information from our observation
posts as well as the Division from
theirs. The Infantry reached all
their objectives following in the
wake of our rolling barrage and
cleaned up absolutely the Boche.
The second wave went over pretty
soon after and then they consoli
dated their new positions. You
know, we took a village, rather
strongly fortified and some little
ground beyond, thereby winning
some high ground as well as wiping
out a rather awkward salient in
our line. The whole attack went
off just like a maneuver, without
a hitch from start to finish. Our
artillery preparation, which was
short but extremely intense, ena
bled the Infantry to do what they
wanted, and they in turn put up
an excellent fight. The French
observer in our observation balloon
said it was wonderfully well done.
Pretty soon after, they brought the
prisoners in, or began bringing
them in, for the bringing in lasted
all day and night. The Infantry
turned them over to the military
police, who would bring them in
in groups of 20, 30 and as high
as 60. A barbed wire pen had
been constructed to put them in
and they all had to pass by here.
Whenever a batch of them were
brought in, we'd all rush madly
out to look them over there really
wasn't much left of them in the
way of helmets, buttons or gas
masks for they were pretty well
stripped by the Infantry before
they got back this far. Most of
them were as pale and sallow look
ing lot as I ever saw and a large
percentage of them were quite
young. Gee I but they are well
disciplined. As they came in ihey
were lined up in double ranks and
were taken 2 at a lime by our in
terpreter, questioned and searched.
The ones standing in line stood
at attention, never blinking an eye
nor moving a muscle. The thing
that impressed me most with the
whole lot was how pale they all
were. In the afternoon, a slightly
wounded one was brought in
didn't look to be over 15 years
old. Never felt so sorry for any
one in my life, for as he sat on the
steps he was whimpering and rub-
bing his wounded leg. He looked
exactly like Woodrow Clark! 1
can't say I felt sorry for the rest of
them tho' they are all perfectly
square-headed and looked like
they never had a thought in their
heads. We captured 240 inclu
ding two officers the first day and
they've brought in several since
then. Well, it's not such a hard
task to take a position, you know
the hard part comes in holding
it. Well things were pretty quiet
for a couple of hours after we had
taken this village and then reports
began coming in that the Germans
were massing for a csuuter-altack
You oughi to have seen the way
we hopped on them with our big
guns. That afternoon they at
tempted 4 counter-attacks. Two
of them never got by our barrage
In the other two, their first wave
came across, but Wire wiped oul
with our Infantry rifle and machine
gun Hie, and 2nd wave got caught
in our barrage, which finished
them all right. Yesterday they
tried 3 more counter-attacks and
aitemptcd to use tanks. We hop.
ped on iheir old tanks so hard that
when last seen they were going
eastward. In the woods where
they were seen we put 60 six inch
shells a minute, besides all the 75s
that were shooting. This morn
ing at 3:30 they attempted another
counter-attack the first wave got
thru our barrage but were finished
up by our Infantry nlle and ma
chine guns. And the second wave
couldn't get by our barrage again.
We captured this captain in this
morning's mixup. Exciting! Well
I've never been thru anything that
could compare with it. 1 talked
with one of our Infantry who had
gone over the lop was slighily
wounded in three places soon after
the first fight of the first day. Gee!
he was plucky, was a machine
gunner. Said he saw a Boche
machine gunner up a tree and told
an Infantryman next to him to get
him which he proceeded to do the
first shot. Said his gun jammed
on him and about that time a Ger
man bullet got him in the arm.
I'm enclosing a couple of extra eye
pieces that came out of one of the
German gas masks. It's the only
souvenir I got. Also an account
of the anack given in one of the
English papers here in France.
A heart full of love for you and
little sister. From
Edward.
