Reported for The Commonwealth. On Friday evening, August 16th, quite a large company of friends and visitors from various and sun dry places assembled to witness and enjoy the banquet tendered them by the young men surrounding the country of Bell's school house. While we are all aware that the prospects looked very bright for rain, the young people rushed on and into the dancing hall until it was filled tots utmost. Seats were arranged both on the inside and the outside of the building until every one was accommodated. The banquet and the lacteal com bination was presided over and man aged in such an order as to regulate the sustenance for the inner man between each individual present. After every one was supplied with all that hunger or thirst could de- mciiiu, bume one announced mere was a cake to be contested for, and the best looking girl, present was to receive it. There were several nom inees of beauty, running with all the speed their friends saw fit to give them, Misses Lelia House, Inez Gray and Delia Roebuck, of Wil liamstor, were in the lead, Miss Housewinning the cake on the first ballot, The managers decided to extend the time and cast a second ballot, which resulted in Miss Roe buck's favor by a very small margin. Mr. Chas. L. Staton, of Scotland j Neck, in presenting the cake, con gratulated Miss Roebuck on her successtul run over such strong competition. While Mr. Staton spoke very complimentary of the Halifax girls and emphasized the fact that they held a place in the very first ranks in the battle of beauty, and while lie was a litt'e partial to the Halifax girls, he stated Reported. Friday the splendid country home of Mr. John B. Gray, just out -f town, was the scene of peril? ps one of the most delightful social cver.tr, of the season, when a reunion of a i house party, composed mainly of ; Scotland Neck young people, recent- j ly held at Va. Beach. The party gathering for the picnic, ab rjt iifcv in number, drove out to .the home of Mr. Gray in automobiles and by midday a happy company was ready to do full justice to the elegant j S spread of barbecue, brunswick stew, j chicken, ham, and, as one put it, almost everything in the "eatmg line." Besides the local members or the house parry there were pre:.- j ent Miss Lucia Privett, of doluxboro. W. A. Wyatt, of Raleigh, !kn 0. A. Moore and J. C. Kelly, of Roanoke Rapids.

Tuesday night, August 20th, in the auditorium of the graded school the Episcopal Sunday school and a few others, under the tutelage of Miss Kate Cheshire and Miss Anna Clark, presented the mystery play. "The Little Pilgrims and the Book ' Reloved." ! The "Little Pilgrims" were "Miss ; Ellen Speed and Master Luther Pur ! rington, who had come from the ! land of China seeking "Mother Church," who was personified by Miss Anna B. Clark. These little folks had the chief dramatic action of the play and did their parts admirably, while Miss Clark rendered her part in her usual effective style.

There were over fifty in the cast, and the play was very quickly got ten up. In spite of these two facts the results obtained did great credit to the abilities of the managers of the performance. The spectacular feature of the play should not- go unmentioned. The scenic effect was pleasing in the extreme to the artistic eye, while a well trained choir, which sang be tween the entrances of the various characters added much to dc.ght the ear.
