JACKSON SPRINGS NEWS
A large crowd from here attended
the State Fair last week, and report
the best ever held in Raleigh. The
Fair was a great source of adver
tisement to the State, especially to
the sections exhibiting. This sec
tion had some advertisements. It
came through our schools, and it was
our boys that did it. Clarence Pat
terson, a Moore county boy of route
2, who is attending Ellerbe High
school several miles south of here in
Richmond county and who is making
good in football, won second individu
al honors in judging field crops, and
with his team mates’ help the Eller
be high school won 1st place. The
Sandhill Farm Life School won 2nd
place while the Troy high school in
Montgomery county won 4th place.
The boys had never had much ex
perience with livestock, and their
training was short, but Marion Lu
ther, a Montgomery county club boy,
who received his training at home
under the direction of county agent
Morrow, brought his county up to
sixth place in stock judging by win
ning 1st individual honors.
There were schools from 42 coun
ties represented at the Fair, and this
speaks well for the youths from the
vocational schools of Moore, Rich
mond and Montgomery counties.
Miss Patty Marks returned to her
home at Albemarle Friday after
teaching a few days in the local high
school. Her health is the best It has
been in several years, but the medi
cal authorities in the New York Hos
pital w'here she underwent an opera
tion last summer, learning of her re
turn to school duties, advised against
it. Miss Marks will rest this winter,
and every one is wishing her continu
ed improvement. She was very pop
ular with the faculty, students and
the community, as she was a very
tireless worker in the interest of the
school or anything for the betterment
of the community.
Miss Ruth Patterson, who accepted
a position with the Bank of Jackson
Springs sometime ago, has assumed
her duties. Miss Patterson is very
popular and was assistant postmaster
here for sometime, and remained in
the office here for sometime after
Miss Lola Thomas received her ap
pointment. Mrs. McKenzie, who was
postmaster here for several years
prior to Miss Thomas’ appointment,
was very efficient but made no effort
to keep her position under a repub
lican administration and along with
Miss Patterson is to be commended
for the excellent spirit in offering
their services to Miss Thomas at any
time.
Miss Birdie Thomas is in the post-
office now, and every one seemed to
be well pleased when Miss Thomas,
the postmaster, announced her cousin
would be her assistant. Both young
ladies receives the endorsement of
the democrats.
Misses Maude Poole and Janie
Clark attended the marriage of the
former’s sister. Miss Ella Mae Poole,
to Mr. Archie Currie at the home of
the bride in Raeford on Wednesday of
last week. The bride is a very popu
lar young lady and is well known here
where she visits often. The groom is
a prominent young business man of
Hoke county.
Herbert Currie, superintendent of
R. A. Derby’s farm is confined to his
bed with a light attack .of pneumonia
and tonsilitis.
D. L. Henderson is having material
laid for a gasoline filling station in
the main part of town. A. D. Whit
ley is having an addition made to the
rear of his store. Prof. W. C. Mc-
Coll has recently had his house, on
the Troy road, remodeled and a fresh
coat of paint added. A. W. E. Capel,
of Troy, is having his summer home
here remodeled. Our village grows
slow, but with the back country that
is rich in agriculture and the future
development of some more water
power in this section the growth of
our village is looked forward to.
Mrs. Chas. Meacham who has been
very sick is slightly imnroving.
November 3rd, on Friday before
the great Sandhill Fair at Pinehurst,
our Community Fair will be held at
the high school auditorium. People
are taking a great interest in the
Fair this year, and we are looking
forward to much improvement over
last year. To better the one held at
West End on last Friday means hard
work.
Her many friends in Moore county
will learn with interest that Miss
Bertha Proffit, former home demon
stration agent of this county but now
with Mecklenburg county, had a nice
display of jellies and pickles on ex
hibit at the State Fair, and won 1st
prize. We want to see Moore county
win some of those prizes next year.
Rev. J. A. Calligan, of McColl, S.
C., who conducted meetings at Pine
hurst and Culdee during the summer,
will begin a revival here on Sunday
night, November 12th.
N. B. Jones, Jr., of Fayetteville,
spent Sunday with his parents here.
Since the strike took effect on the
Norfolk-Southern railroad we have
been receiving very poor service.
People have been patient. We can
now get a daily paper, but the train
is usually late getting here. People
along the Norfolk Southern railroad
through this section are entitled to
better passenger, mail and express
service and should demand it of the
railroad authorities.
On next Tuesday night there will
be a mock wedding given at the
graded school auditorium. There will
be other attractions and everyone is
assured of an evening of pleasure.
The proceeds will go to the communi
ty club to help defray the expensees
of the Community Fair.
A large crowd was out at the graded
school auditorium on Thursday night
for the community moving pictures.
The pictures are always welcomed
here.
