C., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1921 PRICE FIVE CENTS The Call to The Pageant Hark Ye! The Call to the Pageant! Summer, Queen of the Universe, reigns supreme upon her throne of Flowers—^thoiigh faint is her power now that Autumn draws nigh—she views her domain through misty eye, veiled both with pride that her ruling has been well done throughout the season and with longing for the com ing Autumn, her Scarlet Fnight. Zephyr and the Queen’s attendants gather about the throne, while the gorgeous Butterflies flutter around with Summer’s own Sunbeams—all be seeching their Queen not to desert her own Kingdom. When hark ye, yet again! The sound of trumpets, and Pages enter, bearing a supplication from their Master, the Scarlet Knight. This they present to Summer as they kneel before her and once more the trumpets—see ye. Autumn’s en trance ! Before him his Heralds and Pages, behind him, his Banner Bearers and more Pages, comprising a train of grandeur due the Scarlet Knight’s own Court. On bended knee he begs Summer to leave her dying Kingdom and flee with him into his own. He has his flowers, his leaves and Autumn Wind to dance before her loveliness. With pride he points out these posessions. Finally the Queen consents and graciously gives him her hand. At these glad tidings, Her Courts and His break into a dance of ecstasy, then form a royal train to bear the Knight and his bride along to the lovely new Kingdom of Autumn. Thus Summer’s Butterflies flutter just the same in the autumn breeze, while Summer’s sunbeams smile on and Summer’s attendants cling still to their Queen and Zephyr flits among them all; while Autumn’s flowers bloom on and the leaves don their gorgeous tints. Hark ye!—’midst all this—Queen Summer and her Scarlet Knight live happily ever after. At the Sandhill Fair, Friday Nov. 18th, at 1:30 P. M. BIG ARMISTICE DAY CELEBRAnON AT SOD.

Fair Notes The races this year at the Sandhill air promise to surpass any we have ever had both in the number of horses and in the quality. For the first time, we have been able to secure a large field of horses htat have raced on the Grand Circuit this summer and this has been a year of remarka*ble races. Among the well known racers is that wonderful horse, Grace Direct, who has never been beaten on a half mile track. She has a record of 2.00%, and she broke the State record on a half mile track, only last Wednes day. She will start Friday afternoon, A bunch of fast runners are already jere with more to follow, and some very exciting races are assured. The Seaboard Railroad is offering excursion rates to the Sandhill Fair on all points between Raleigh, Mul- ins, S. C., Charlotte and Pinehurst, and the Norfolk Southern offers special rates from Ashboro to Pine- lurst. A full program of the three days of the Fair will be published next week. Since our last mention of th^ Berk shire Show at the Fair, entries have been coming in from all directions until it is now the largest Berkshire Show in the United States and, in all probability, of the world. This is the last week to vote for the Fairy Queen. All votes must be in the hands of the Secretary not later than Tuesday morning, Nov. 8. LAKEVIEW Mr. W. A. Blue, of Aberdeen, was a business visitor in town Tuesday. Mr. Martin, of Pennsylvania, a friend of Mr. Warden’s, spent two days at the Seward Inn last week. Miss Margaret McQueen is spend ing this week with her brother here. Mrs. S. J. Gardner is visiting rela tives in Hamlet this week. Misses Maude and Hazel Blue spent the week-end with their people in the Eureka neighborhood. Those who attended the moving pic ture show given at the school house by Miss Flora McQueen Saturday evening report it an excellent and beneficial thing for the schools. Rev. A. R. McQueen, of Dunn, was in town Monday night, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. McQueen. The recent rains have gladdened the hearts of many and especially of dry- well owners in Lakeview.- Recently Mr. A. C. Cox discovered two boll weevils on the porch of his store. Evidently these are getting very near to the sandhill cotton farms. The stream of tourists, etc., enroute to Florida seems to be increasing as the winter draws nearer and we are wondering where they will all find tenting ground. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. McQueen enter tained Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Newcomb and their friend, Mrs. Nearing, at dinner one evening last week.
