PITTSBORO, N. C, CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, JULY Y 1926 INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATED HERE IN FJNE STYLE V Monday a Big Day in Pittsbor#—A Throng Enjoys Features of Cele bration of 150th Anniver sary of Nation’s Birth !( v Rarely has Pittsboro had a day with more interesting features .tlan Monday, when under the auspice? of the American Legion Post and Aux iliary, the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Inde pendence was celebrated with speech es, songs, patriotic ‘music, games and races, and an almost unrivaled per formance of Magician Wallace. The 12-piece Durham band arrived early and from arrival till the eve ning shadows began to fall dispensed * occasional music, patriotic and senti mental. The day started off with a series of foot races on Main street. James Melvin was the winner of the race for boys of six and seven; little Margaret Beard won in a race for girls of like age. Bdt we find that we 5 eanot lay our hand at present on full list of winners and must repqgY them in another article, if at allv At eleven a goodly crowd met in the court room for the formal celebration • of the anniversary, the sesquLeenten hial of Independence Day. Hon. Dan iel Bell, commander of the.jlocal Le gion post, was master of ceremonies. Rev. R. R. Cordon led in prayer. Mayor Ray appropriately welcomed the visitors in the name' of the town and took occasion to glorify the e tent of 150 years ago. Mr. J. L. Griffin responded humorously to a request to welcome the visitors in the ! name of the business men of Pitts boro. Incidentally he cited the fact that jNorth Carolina had more reason than any other state in joyfully cele brating the anniversary of that not able Fourth of 1776, since apart from the Mecklenburg declaration, the State was the first to declare in its continental assembly, or congress, for independence, nearly three months before the declaration at Philadelphia. Rev. R. G. Shannonhouse recited the story of the events leading up to the famous Declaration. Mr. Bell read effectively the Declaration it self, while the speaking of the hour was climaxed by a brief address?, by Senator W. P. Horton. The exercises were interspersed with patriotic selections by the band, and a quartet was beautifully rendered by -Mesdames Shannonhouse, Bynum. R. M Farrell, representing the Music Department of the Woman’s Club. The noon hour having arrived, din ner was served in cafeteria style to the veterans of the War Between the States, of the Spanish-American War, of the World War, and the wives of the veterans. As usual the good | women of the .town had supplied’ an j ! abundance of wholesome food for the occasion. It was notable that tne | humuer 01 (Joniederate veterans present was quite small. The group is gradually answering the call to ihe final rendezvous beyond the river. Even the seventeen-year old boy who came home from the armies in 1885 is now 78 years of age, and not one of them now living had reached the age of 30, we judge. At two o’clock the court room was packed with a sweltering throng to see the magical performance of Mr. Wallace, who delighted old and young with his fine bagful of marvelous tricks. After this was over the baseball game and other races were pulled off on the school grounds, but the sun was so scorching hot that many de clined to view the events. In a close game Saxapahaw won by a small mar gin. A welcome shower in the late af ternoon tempered the last hours of the exceedingly warm but successful day. HONORING RECENT BRIDES OF BONLEE Mrs. C. C. Brewer and Mrs. D. C. Philiips jointly entertained at the home of Mrs. C. C. Brewer on Tues | day afternoon June 29th from 3 to 5 ; o’clock honoring the recent brides, Mrs. Alex R. Pugh, Mrs. Geo. H. An drews and Mrs. Henry H. Dunlap. The guests were met at the door by Mrs. D. C. Phillips and ushered into the living room where they were served punch by Miss Annie Lambe. Three cards were then given to each one present on which they wrote a recipe for each of the brides. Af ter which the guests were invited to the spacious porch which was very beautifully decorated with sweet peas and Queen Ann’s lace where each one enjoyed a wideawake game to hear complaints of excessive tax high score was presented to Miss Myr tle Phillips by Mrs. D. C. Phillips who at the same time presented in a very tactful manner each of the brides with an attractive piece of silver. After this a most delicious salad course was served.

Horton, Older Brother of Sena tor W. P., Wins Senatorial Nom ination in Caswell nil l»—l—ll. ■■ It is rather unusual for two broth ers to serve m the North Carolina senate at the same time; yet that is what will happen in the case of the Horton Brothers. | W. P. Horton won his nomination in the first primary in this county. ' His older brother, W. 8., was in a 1 triangular race in Caswell county and, * though leading by 72 in the first pri- ‘ mary, had to make a second race a- ; gainst his closest opponent, T. S. Neal, winning last Saturday by a margin of about 200. The editor of the Record had as- i sumed that W. P. Horton, hailing J from Williams township, this county, was of the east Chatham Horton ’ stock, but in inquiring about the ca reer of his brother WYB., it is dig- ; that Thomas Horton, the fa tner, was quite a wanderer and that the new senatorial nominee in Cas well has had quite a unique career. Thomas Horton brought his wife iind children to Chatham from Kan sas City, when W. P. was a tot. Both the father and mother of the sena tors-eiect are Virginians. But the wanderlust carried the. father to Tex as and later to Kansas City, where he was a merchant, till one Christmas he happened to visit his sister in this county, Mrs. Pete Carter, and found the climate so much to his liking as compared with that of Kansas City, where the snow was then half-leg deep, that he straightway moved his family to Chatham and became a farmer, being located seven or eight miles from Chapel Hill. Here the boys grew up. But when W. B. was a youth of seventeen or eighteen the-wanderlust seized him and he ran away and o ned the navy, in which he served 24 years. While Josephus Daniels was secretary of the navy in the first Wilson administra tion, it will be recalled, he opened ex aminations for midshipmen to the en listed men, thus giving them an op portunity to secure rank along with the graduates of Annapolis. W. B. Horton, then having served for near ly a score of years, was fortunate hough to rise from the ranks and thus 1 served as an officer during th» WPzld War. war over he resigned, studied iaw at the University and at Wake Forest, and began to practice at Yan ceyviile. He has already served a errn in the house of representatives md now goes to the senate, thus rapidly rising in civil affairs after giving 24 years to the navy. W. P. can barely remember living j in Kansas City and consequently feels himself a native ChatKamite. He has already once ably represented his county in the senate. The father and'mother have both been dead a number of years. miss louise Henderson CELEBRATES 15TH BIRTHDAY On Wednesday evening, June 30th, Miss Louise Henderson of Pittsboro, celebrated her fifteenth borthday at her home. The house was made at tractive by numerous vases and bas kets of summer flowers. Three tables of bridge was played, the highest score being made by Miss Virginia Beans and Nyal Womble, and the lowest by “Wee” Annie By num and Fred London. Music was rendered at intervals throughout the evening by Miss Annie Bynum. After the game, the fourteen young friends and classmates were invited into the dining room where a color scheme of yellow and green prevailed. Streamers of yellow crepe paper were attached to the chandelier and gracefully caught to the four corners of the table which was spread with a while damask cloth, festooned with a trace of delicate green. On this was a large lace center piece, on which sat the birthday cake frosted in white with fifteen lighted candles. On either side of the cen ter piece were placed two bowls of yellow daisies \vith green foliage. A delightful ice course was served with cake. The occasion Vas a happy one and greatly enjoyed by those pres ent, they being Misses “Wee” Annie Bynum, Virginia Beans, Elizabeth Blair, Elizabeth Womble, Charlie Poe, Billy Chapin, Fred London, John Lee Burns, Nyal Womble, James Wom ble, Clytis Womble and Rudolph Hen derson.
