JIIss Jones' LecturN.
Miss I)or:i Duty Jones will give illus
trated art lectures in the Village Hall,
Friday and Saturday evenings, March
24th and 2oth. Miss Jones has received
llattering notices from the press wher
ever she has appeared and she will no
doubt have large audiences in our vil
lage. Following are some of the notices.
"Miss Jones' lectures are superbly il
lustrated and intensely interesting.''
The Washington Post.
"Among the most delightful features
of the Lenten season have been the course
of illustrated art lectures given by Miss
Dora Duty Jones at the residences and
under the patronage of some of the most
prominent society women interested in
literature and art. The Washington
Evening Star.
Dr. Hale Educational Fund.
The collection amounting to 30.00,
which was taken up at the Christian
union services in the Village Hall, March
12th, when the sermon was delivered by
l'ev. Dr. Hale, has been taken as the
nucleus of a fund to be known as the
"Dr. Haie Educational Fund," to boused
for educating worthy children in this
vicinity. Two boys, who but for this
money would be unable to obtain an
education, are now at school, and little
Etta J. Willard, the 11-year-old daughter
of John Willard who resides in the
"Texas" district, has been sent to the
Kaeford school for the remainder of the
term.
Any one interested in this work and
desiring to assist with money, clothing,
books, maps, etc., can do so by sending
to the Dr. Hale Educational Fund, care
of Supt. C. D. Benbow, Pinehurst.
Meeting of Capitalist.
A committee of the citizens of Southern
Pines have sent out invitations to a large
number of prominent Northern bankers
and investors asking them to meet the
Southern people at Southern Pines on the
18th of next month to discuss Southern
investments. Letters have also been
sent to the town and county officials in
this section, and to well-known men
throughout the South. Many prominent
Southern men have already signified their
intention to lie present and adddress the
meeting. It is hoped that when out
Northern friends are brought face to
face with the boundless resources of the
South and see the safe and staple invest
ments that can be had at a much higher
rate of interest than in the North, they
will be glad to aid in developing this sec
tion of the country.
Arrangements are being made for re
duced rates on all the railroads and an
enjoyable as well as profitable outcome
is assured.
"It has come to my ears that you are
calling me 'the governor,'" said the old
man, sternly. "Are you'?" "I might as
well admit it," said the young man, con
tritely. "You ought," continued the old
gentleman, "you ought to have more
respect for your mother." Cincinnati
Enquirer.
