Unlike most of such g-atherings the whole affair took place out of doors and this fact imparted a unique charm to the oc casion. On the arrival of the several guests tea and wafers were served in the porch by Mrs. R. F. Coleman, Mrs. E. W. Hall and Miss Rebe Shields. After the guests were all seated upon the lawn the president, Mrs. C. C. Bradley, called the meeting to order. During a short business session two important matters were settled. First of all Mrs. Bradley, in view of her nnnrnjiehinnr departure for L I ' ' Wadesboro, tendered her resigna tion and Miss Mary II. Smith was elected to fill the unexpired term. This being done, the chair appointed Mrs. Clark, Mrs. White and Mrs. J. V, 'Rowers to select and present for approval at the next meeting f course of study for the coming year Mrs. Hoffman's essay "A Coali tion which Produced the Spanish Nation" showed much research and tVmno-lit md some features of the paper were very impressive. Miss Rebe Shields led, with great naivete, in the discussion of Current Events. At close of this discussion Mrs. Claude Kitchin, Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Coleman assisted Mrs. Smith in serving delicious cake and blocked cream. The following members wort present: Mesdames Bradley, Clark, White, Purriagton, Stuart Smith, W. H.Joseyand Hoffman and Misses Rebe Shields and Eleanor Smith, while Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Claude Kitch in, Mrs. Coleman, Mrs. J. N. Smith.. Mrs. W. E. Smith and Miss Clark were present as guest. A.

Also at Salem school house Sunday afternoon. The weather be- ins' fine he had a larp.e crowd to hear him. Taking his text from the 16th chapter of St. John, he deliver ed a noble sermon. The weather has been very warn for the past few days and the crops are looking prosperous around here. On yesterday afternoon Mr. J. L. Green's buggy horse again got out of the stable and has gone in the direction of Louisburg. Mr. Green received a telephone message this morning that his horse had passed Castalia, we hope she will soon be safe in her stall again. The school closed at Powells School house last Tuesday, May the 9th. They had a large crowd and in the afternoon Salem and Battleboro had a match game of ball on the Powell school grounds. The score was 8 to 5 in favor of Salem. We are very sorry to say that Mrs. J. L. Price is on the sick list this week. Her condition is very bad as she i3 suffering with consumption, she is not expected to be with is much longer. Messrs. Thad Hales and Jack Vivi rette passed through here on Mr. Hales automobile enroute to Hilliard ston. Mr. A. L. Dozier past here last Wednesday on his way to Rocky Mt. On account of childrcns day there will be an all day service at Hickory Chapel the second Sunday in June. We are expecting a very nice time. Mrs. C. W. Bennett accompained by Mr. W. S. Minshew and his son, Ollie, will leave for Washington, M. C, Friday, May 27th, to visit ! er people. Some time last Thursday night the death angel visited the heme of Mr. and Mrs. W. II. Wadfcrd and took from them their little two year old child. It seemed very hard to give up the little one, but knowing that Gods will must be done, we feel sure that he will send a comfort er to the bereaved parents . We loved it, yes we loved it But the angels loved it more And they have gently called it To a bright and shining shore. The parents and friends have our deepest sympathy. Is Cleaner Than Carpet.
