The following account was taken from “'The Evening Telegram" of Rocky Mount, and will be of much interest to the Concord friends of Mrs. Wagoner, Mrs. Edwards and S. Kay Patterson: “The Music Review Club as Rocky Mount's only musical organization, has contributed generously to the pleasure of music lovers here and in surrounding counties by sponsoring a number of delightful affairs and by bringing artists to the city on frequent occasions. From time to time the club with its splendid program of lo cal talent has held open meetings so thijt Ithey nrghrt be mutually enjoyed’ by the public. Sponsoring a recital given by Mrs. Janie l’atterson Wagoner, soprano and pianist-composer; and Mr. S. Kay Patterson, flautist, n large audi ence was present last evening to en joy another delightful even given by the elub. Included in a program of songs, pi ano and flue solos, were n number of Mrs. Wagoner’s own compositions, which have won for her not only fame beyond her native state but several cups offered by North Carolina organ izations. Possibly the loveliest of her compositions is Dance Asthetique, which she so artistically rendered last evening. “This selection lias been program med by the Russian Symphony or chestra creators and the United States Marine Band. Mrs. Wagoner proved herself most versatile in her program of songs and paino solos. “Mr. Patterson played a number of flute selections with artistic inter pretation. - He was accompanied by hia~'sisters, Mrs. Wagoner and Mrs. George R. Edwards, of this city. His opening number was “The legend of the Thrush” composed by Mrs. Wag oner. “Mrs. T. H. Battle, president of .the Music Review club, pleasingly in troduced Mrs. Wagoner. Mrs. Ed wards and Mr. Patterson, as gifted members of the Patterson family of Concord. Mro. Edwards and Mrs. Wagoner were presented exquisite corsages by the club.” Mr*. Oglesby Honoree. Ope of the loveliest of the season’s ■ affairs, was the bridge party given on Thursday afternoon by Mrs. C. W. i Byrd, complimenting Mrs. John M. Oglesby, a recent bride. Quantities of roses, peonies, sweet - peas and iris were attractively ar ranged throughout the living room and dining room, where six tables were arranged -for duplicate'bridge. Mrs. Oglesby was presented a da;n ty towel as a souvenir of the occas ion by the hostess.

BOST FOR HISTORY OF CONCORD I I Dr. Smoot Speaks of It 9a “a Most Vivid History of Oar City." Editor Tribune: As a citizen of Concord, I want to thank, through your columns, Mrs. D. L. Boat for her wonderful history of Concord, appearing the other day, j aa of April 23rd. ’ Mrs.' Boat has written a moet vivid | history of oar city—tracing it from its very infancy—and rendering every ' citizen a debtor to her, aa she brings before us such an expanding pano-l rama. And, it reminds me of “Willie Wil lis,” as he tells of the night that Skinny stayed with him, and how they talked till far in the night, “about how things were before the world was made, and everything, and did not decide about anything.” It is hard for the Imagination to picture the rugged hills ani waste places as depicted by Mrs. Bost. when those spaces are now so adorned with modern homes and places of business. And, I want to ask Mr. “Honest” John A. dine to give us a picture of Cabarrus County, as he ha* it laid back in bis memory, from his own ob servations and from legend. " Mr. Cline told me “one day,” how his grandmother B ? rode across the Susquehanna River on horseback, as she emigrated from northern Penn sylvania, with others composing her family, to settle and live in the en- chanting country embraced in Cabar rus county. He told of how the early settlers in locating a home, sought out first, if possible, a gurgling spring, near which they would pitch their tents, till they could fell the forest trees and build a more stately man sion. Some built of logs, while oth ers would cut and roll great logs upon high horses <Jr benches, where one man would stand above the logs, while an other woptd stand below, and, with a cross-cut saw, saw the logs into planks for building materials. Can you beat such pluck? And, later on, "one day,** as the county grew older and the merchants’ crowning glory appeared in the form of the railway engine, running on a fixed, track, he, with his mother and the people from throughout Judea and the countries round about, assembled in Concord to see the first railway train pass, en route'to Charlotte. This countless throng assembled along the 1 great cut as now sparihed by our overhead bridge near the station, and listened in awe and astonishment to the bellowings, noise of the fireman’s whistle, far in the distance—yet out of sight. Finally, ns the monster came in sight, with the heavens black as Judgment Day, lighted only by the live cinders from the fireman's dry pine wood, the watchword was quickly called out: “Stand back—stand back and hold tight,” as the suction of the | train would pull them under its grinding wheels, as it rushed on in a cloud, at the udheard-of speed of 14 miles an hour. Seized with panic, Mr. Cline said he laid hold of his mother's skirts, while his toe nails “dug in,” and an chored him to the ground! Finally, the monster stopped to catch its breath, while the soot-be grimed passengers alighted with one eye tightly shut on yet hot cindej-s and, with the other eye squinted, they sought out their acquaintances from the back side of civilization. The foregoing is just a hint, mere ly as to what Mr. “Honest” John A. Cline remembers about Concord and Cabarrus county in the “eaerly days” , and he owes it to the city, county and state, to deliver himself of these facts as only he can teil them. Aga'n, giants were then in the earth, and Mr. Cline is of direct lin eage and has always reminded me of Goliath except he has a more kindly , fare, and is really a very kindly man. Let us hear from Mr. Cline! Very truly, J. E. SMOOT. DR. WILLIAM BLACK TO CONDUCT SERVICES HERE Will Begin Evangelistic ‘Meeting at Second Presbyterian Church on Jane 6th. Rev. Wiiliam Black. D. D., the! well known evangelist of the synod of North Carolina, together with Bis| singer. Andrew Burr, will hold an evangelistic meeting at the Second Presbyterian Church, beginning on on the first Sunday in June. Dr. Black is one of the ablest ministers in North Carolina and has been instrumental in more conver sions, probably than any living preacher in this synod, having held meetings in almost every church with in its bounds in the last twenty-five years. He has many friends in Con cord. Twice before he has held meet ings in the Second Church. Mr. Burr is a sweet singer and a splendid lead er of choruses, contributing largely to the success of the meetings..

NEW R|JLES FOR BISHOPS WANTED j Report Says That These Assigned to Mission Fields Should Live There. ( M. T. Flyer, in Raleigh News Ji Ob server. Memphis, Tenn., May 13. —Trib- utes to the foilr bishops who had died during the quardrennium and efforts to rpgulate the bishops fea tured the eighth day of the General Conference. The committee on missions sent to the calendar a report which requests the bishops assigned to the mission fields to reside therein, and in the event auy one fails to do so he shall be dealt with in the same way as a preacher who fails to go to his work. This report awaits fianal action of the General Conference. A resolution also went to commit tee that would "require the bishops to devote their office.” Enough is heard in lobby, committee room, and ev.cn from some of the bishops themselves to indicate that the mind of the church is well made up that these chief pastors should live in their fields and devote themselves to the work assigned to them, though many would dissent from this thesis, but it is safe to say that no drastic legis lation on this matter will be enucted this session. Memorial Service, The memorial service was entered into most sympathetically by the vast assembly present. The memoir of Bishop J. C. Kilgo was read by Dr. W. P. Few, that of Bishop R. G. Waterhouse by Dr. J. W. Perry, that of Bishop James Atkins by Dr. T. C. Ragsdale, that of Bishop W. B. Mur rah by Dr. F. N. Parker-/ Judge Nathan Newly, formerly of North Carolina, but now of Ixw An geles. paid eloquent tribute to the two bishops who laved at their death in North Carolina, Kilgo and At kins. The bishops were instructed to ap point the seven delegates to which the Southern Methodist church is entitled at the World Conference on Faith and Order that will meet in Switzerland, August, 1927. Bishop James Cannon is ex-officio a mem ber of this body. Reorganize Mission Board. The report from the committee on mission that went to the culendar to day indicates a reorganization of the board of misspells with three depart ments —foreign, home and cultivation, i Instead of eight secretaries, four I men and four women, as hereto fore, there will be one general seere- I tary, elected by the General Con ference, and two secretaries, one man and one women, for each of the three departments. There will be elected by the board. This looks to a general correlatioin of the enure mission work and a more general cul tivation ofthe field- The work of the women in their conference and auxil iary orgauization will in no way be disturbed. Among the many views, all seem to be agreed that there should be one general secretary and ■ that the woman’s work should not be ' disturbed. More than two million persons a . day, or about two per cent, of the en tire population of the United States, ’ are unable to attend to their regu ' lar.duties because of illness. The r average time lost for each person is 1 eight working days a year.

(Continued from Page Onei cord received the eanvaseers. Secretary H. "W. Blanks was given a rising vote of thanks for bis work in the campaign and during the past year. In moving - that Mr. Blanks be so honored Mayor Barrier pointed out that the campaign would not have been so successful if a less efficient and popular man had been at the head of the association during the year. Mr. Blanks spoke feelingly in ex pressing his appreciation for the vote of confidence expressed in him, both by the rising vote and by the fact that the citizens of the city thought well enough of him to conduct suc cessfully the campaign. “It is only with co-operation such as you have given me,” he said, ‘that I have been aide to carry on the work here.” He predicted that the next year would be another record one. Words of commendation were spok en for his assistants by Mr. Blanks, who also thanked the workers, the ministers and others in the city who contributed to the success of the drive. “And I want to express spe cial appreciation.” he said, “to J. B. Sherrill, editor, and W. M. Sher rill, associate editor, of The Daily Tribune for their work in behalf of not oniy the drive but the’ Y. M. (!, A. from month to month. They have en impetus to the campaign by ’heir efforts and moral support with excellent editorials and articles writ ten by William Sherrill.” Upon his motion a rising vote of thanks was given to the father and son. Miss Peggy Simpson delighted those present with two solos witii piano accompaniment by Miss Millicent Ward. This is the first campaign of its kind ever conducted exclusively by local men and women and the work ers were loud in their praise for Dr. Spencer, who directed the drive. For several weeks he devoted the greater part of his time to campaign matters and those who served under him have been unanimous in the often ex pressed opinion that to him more than to any one else is due credit for the harmony and enthusiasm which char acterized the drive from the begin ning. The women who served in the cam paign also were highly commended by other workers who realize that many subscriptions which otherwise would have been lost were secured by the women. The campaign started Wednesday morning and was the shortest in the history of the Y'. During the first day pledges totalling more than $12,- 000 were secured and only one other day was needed to complete the work. Mr. Blanks stated this morning that it is his purpose to continue the Y aB the commnnity center of the city. “I expect this year to be the best ever,” he said, “and we enter into the work with renewed confidence and pleasure following the splendid campaign.” Opera** at No. 3 School Tonight.
