“If a poor, measley, forsaken,

me”—do you call it ‘propriatin’ if I
tucks dat poor little wanderer under
my coat and takes it home to a nice
hot fire? No, sah, dat ain’t ‘pro
priatin’—dat’s chiarity!” Even if
>^ou don’t agree with Mose in all of

Wandering Tom? Hear his history at

eral years.
Mrs. W. D. Matthews Hostess to
Circle Two.
Mrs. W. D. Matthews was hostess
to Circle 2 of the Methodist Auxil
iary at her home on the Jefferson
Davis Highway on Tuesday evening,
and the meeting proved most delight
ful. The attendance was good, not
withstanding the unfavorable weath
er. A short program consisting of
Scripture reading by Mrs. W. J.
Cameron, prayer by Mrs. W. C. Les
lie, and readings by several other
members was given. This was fol
lowed by a business session. During
the social hour, three contests were
enjoyed. Mrs. S. R. Smith was the
winner in a “Jumbled Pie’^ and a
“Man” contest, and Mrs. W. J. Cam
eron and Mrs. C. J. Temple made

fruit salad and delicious home made
cake. The October meeting will be
with Mrs. S. R. Smith.
Towel Shower Given for School.
On Thursday evening of last week
the Christian Endeavor Society gave
a towel shower at the Presbyterian
church for the benefit of the Blue
Ridge Academy, in Virginia. Rev.
Mr. Monroe in a very interesting talk
made the needs of the school known
to those present and awakaned a
new interest in the school. Thirty-
seven towels were given. Games
were then played on the church lawn,
and refreshments served.
On Sunday evening an offering was
taken at the Christian Endeavor
meeting for this school, and the re
sult was a goodly sum of money to
add to the gift already made.
Miss McMillan Appointed Secretary.
At the Presbyterian Sunday School
last Sunday morning the superin
tendent, E. L. McNeill, named Myr
tle McMillan as secretary of the
Sunday School. Miss Willie Pearl
Alexander, who has served so effi
ciently for the past two years, left
recently for college. Myrtle has a
record of five years’ perfect attend
ance and will doubtless be as faith
ful in performing her new duties as
she has been in her attendance upon
the Sunday School services.
Play for Benefit of Baptist Church.
On Wednesday evening of next
week, a play will be given at the
Vass-Lakeview school building for
the benefit of the Baptist church
building which is being erected in
Vass. Miss Florence Leslie’s Sun
day School class of young ladies and
young men set out several years ago
to raise five hundred dollars, looking
forward to the time when their de
nomination should erect a church
here. They haven’t been saying
much about it, but they have been
working, nevertheless. They reached
their goal, but decided to do more, so
now they are getting up a play, the
proceeds of which will be added to
their fund for this worthy cause.
“The Dust of the Earth” is the
name of the play. It is by Katharine
Kavanaugh, who has written a num
ber of successful plays. The Baptist
young people are being assisted by
several young people of other de
nominations, and they will endeavor
to give an evening of delightful en
tertainment. Those who have read
the play pronounce it one of the best
they have seen lately, and it is being
offered at a very reasonable price
for a royalty production, 15 cents for
children and 35 for adults.
Following is the cast of charac
ters:
David Moore, of Maple Farm Cot
tage, Sam Evans; Susan Moore, his
wife, Mrs. Sam Evans; Elizabeth,
their daughter. Miss Jessie Brooks;
Jerry, their son who thinks goin*
fishin’ is the only thing worth while
doin’, Frederick Taylor; , Rev. Dr.
Templeton, a young preacher in love
with Elizabeth, Julian Leslie; Miss
Arabela, the village newfepeper,
(ain’t it awful, Susan!) Mis^ Nettie
Gschwind; John Ryder, the young
master of the Maples, C. L. Tyson;
Wandering Tom, a mystery, Gerald
Graham; Old Mose, his companion,
Paul Laubscher; Nell, “The Dust of
the Earth,” Miss Virginia Murchi

Juniors Make Merry at Lakeview.
State Representatives Miller and
Irvin of the Junior Order, beneficiary
degree, were guests of local members
of the Jr. O. U. A. M. at a most de
lightful meeting at Lakeview on
Tuesday evening of this week. The
first event on the program was
SUPPER, and such a supper as it
was! Barbecue with all the accesso
ries was served on tables in the park
by the lake side, and thera was
plenty and to spare.
After the feast, the company re
paired to the dining hall of the Lake
side Inn, where a number of speeches
were heard. Interesting talks were
made by Rev. Mr. Monroe, At omey
Matthews, Professor Dwight and O.
H. Carpenter. The members enjoy
ed very much an address by Repre
sentative Miller.
Local Juniors are a loyal bunch as
shown by the attendance at this
meeting, thirty-four of the • forty
members being present. They are
great believers in their order, which
stands for 100 per cent American
ism, education and the Bible, and
they point with pride to the fact
that one of the two Junior orphan
ages in the United States is located
in North Carolina.
Family Reunion.
Another of those delightful affairs
—family reunions—was held at the
beautiful country home of Mr. and
Mrs. A. J. Keith last Sunday, hon
oring the birthday of Mrs. Keith.
All of the children, nearly the en
tire list of grandchildren, and a few
other relatives and friends were pres
ent to celebrate with Mrs. Keith, and
all spent a very happy day. A sump
tions dinner was spread on a table
under the trees.
Love sometimes sneaks out at the
window without waiting for poverty
to come in at the door.

The Saunders Tobacco Warehouse
Aberdeen, N. C.
Our market was second hig’hest in the State last year, and we hope to see Aber
deen hold that same position this year.
The crowds of farmers and the quantity of tobacco on the floor at the Tuesday
opening leave no doubt of the favor with which Aberdeen is regarded, and it is apparent
that this Fall will see the Aberdeen markets forge ahead as a community tobacco selling
center.
Sell Your Lugs Early
and get rid of the low-priced leaf.
Then your good tobacco will be in sh ape to bring the best prices, ^nd Aberdeen
will continue to get the prices for you.
Remember our buyers are regular salaried employes of the companies they rep
resent, and they are here to buy tobacco. The more they buy the less their expense to
their companies.
Sandhills tobacco has made its reputation. The buyers are here after it. They
are paying the best prices offered in the markets at the present time, and Aberdeen has
placed itself with the markets that will care for the farmer.
