The Junius Daniel Chapter (lave Most Sumptuous Dinner to the Veterans ol the Civil War. PERSONALS And Other Items Told In Brief Form. Of all the I Oth oF May exercises ever held in Weldon, the dinner given by the Junius Daniel Chap ter to the Confederate veterans of the community on Wednesday of last week, at the home of the Pres ident, was decidedly the most pleasing and successful in many ways. The regular course dinner of Brunswick stew, barbecue, sal ads, sandwiches, ice tea, cream and cake was enjoyed by about sixty of the veterans, their wives, the Daughters, live ministers of the gospel, the Eva Davis Chapter and a few special guests. The din ing room was beautifully decora ted with roses, laurel and other flowers. An attractive program carried out, and the ladies of the Chapter served in a most efficient manner. Rev. L. D. Hayman, in his own attractive way, presided at the table and called for short talks from Rev. J. G. Blalock, who was visiting in Weldon, Rev. H C. Smith, who is assisting in the re vival services at the M. E. Church, Rev. C. F. Westman, rector of the Episcopal Church and Rev. S. E. Mercer, P. E. of the Weldon District. These all responded in a most happy manner. Dr. A. R. Zollicofter for the veterans spoke feelingly of the women of the South, their faithfulness and sacri fices during and since the war, and two of our new citizens were called on responded in a characteristic way. In the intervals a choir ol ladies in an adjoining room sang Dixie, the Star Spangled Banner, Tenting To-night and other songs, at the close all joining in the hymn, "God Be With Us Till We Meet Again," which brought tears to the eyes of some of the aged veterans present. To Mrs. C. R. Chittenden and Mrs. G. D. Hawks the committee of arrangements, is due the thanks for this pleasant occasion. . THE MUSIC CLUB.

The trouble with most of those who want to do something for the community is that they want to do it at somebody else's expense. The town has erected a neat lit tle house in the middle of Second street, near the park, which will be the home of the new fire engine. We have a feeling that if the world should stand at the Judg ment Bar just now it couldn't do belter than enter a plea of insanity. There's one good thing about bobbed hair. It does away with the necessity of trying to pro nounce that darned word "Coif fure."

There was a large congregation present at the M. E. Church, ihe revival meetings being in progress. Here and there all over that large con gregation could be seen white and red roses, worn by those present in remembrance of their mothers. What a beautiful, sacred custom it is to observe one Sunday in the year as Mother's Day. A happy, hallowing thought it is that on this day the kindness, the tenderness, and the many virtues of the best person on earth are brought to our minds, in the mercies and min istries of God's temple. To every true soul there is no one like mother. To make glad her heart, smooth her paths, and help bear her burdens is one of those gra cious duties that in turn sheds fra grance on the dutiful heart. On this day the white rose or carnation is worn. The white is a symbol of mother's purity. The fragrance of the rose speaks of the sweetness of her love. The wide field of the flower's usefulness, at the bridal and at the bier, in the home and in the church, every wheretells of mother's unselfish service. The ever blooming rose of her universal and gracious min istries. All these are the virtues of mother the dearest being on earth. "My angel mother," said one of earth's greatest men, Lincoln turned down the wine cups saying he promised Ins dead mother never to taste it. When Earl Brewer was inaugurated governor of Mis sissippi, his mother saiu, ine happiest day of my life was not this inaugural, but the day Earl was convened and joined the church." Of all earthly things mother is ihe holiest. Childhood is the sweetest. The Madonna is a picture of which the world never tires. D. A. K. The Elizabeth Montfort Ashe Chapter D. A. R., held their regu lar meeting on Thursday, May 12, at the home of Mrs. C. W. Greg ory, in Weldon.

Several ol the other boys and girls made good points in winning jumping and throwing, though bmpona won the cup and in the finals Wel don made only third place.

Mr. Smith appeals to reason, he presents the gospel truth in such a way as to convince right people thinking through the atone ment made by Jesus Christ can men be saved from their sins.
