Only the best sand-clay roads which have been heavily graveled have been able to stand under the conditions prevailing. There have been only a few fair, sun shiny days since Christmas. * ? ? Mrs. Flora Hyman, of Richmond, ^a., spent Friday night and Saturday in the city with her daughter, Mrs. Lee Sanders. She w;s accompanied Goldsboro by Mrs. Sanders and little sons, Alfred, Jr., and Hyman, Saturday afternoon to spend Sunday with her sister, Mrs. J. C. Collier. * * * We learn that the Presbyterian churches of Smithficld and Selma will j probably be grouped together and be served by the same preacher at an early date, or as soon as a man for the work can be secured. We un derstand that our Smithfield Presby terian friends are much pleas i over < this move. The towns are cl~ 1 to gether and one preacher can efc'ily ?ervc loth congregations. Some men are born litle, some achieve littleness, some become little by really being little, while others are little because it would be unna tural for them to be any other way. * ? ? We had a delightful little visit Sat urday afternoon from Supt. M. B. Andrews and Mrs. Andrews and Miss Sasser, of Kenly. Mr. Andrews is the live superintendent of the Kenly State High School. Miss Sasser is in charge of the music department. ? ? ? Last Sunday proved a Red Letter Day in Sunday school attendance in Smithfield. The Methodist Sunday school had an attendance of 211, the Baptist 178, with good attendance at the Presbyterian and Episcopal Sun day schools. The attendance at the Baptist Sunday school was a record breaker, being the largest in the his tory of the school. The Men's Berean Bible Class had 45 present. A new Philathea Class was organized with 24 members. Altogether it was a great day for the Smithfield Sunday schools. ? ? ? The Presbyterians of this section are going to hold a Laymen's Con vention at the Smithfield Presbyte rian church next Friday, February 2, beginning at ten o'clock. The general topic for discussion is, "Stewardship of Self, of Service and of Substance." A very interesting program has been prepared and the people of the town and comnjfcnity are given a cordial invitation to attend. See program on another page. We learn that these meetings which are held from time to time in the several communities have proven very helpful in creating and developing interest in church work. Entertains Sans Souci Club. Last Thursday afternoon, from three o'clock until five, Mrs. L. E. Watson entertained the Sans Souci Club, in her accumtomed cordial manner. The house was tastefully decorat ed, the color scheme being green and pink, and the soft light from the shaded electroliers, and the sweet notes of a well selected musical pro gram, lent enchantment to the scene. The ladies were met in the hall by Miss Bettie Watson, and Mrs. L. E. Watson, with Mrs. Watson, her moth er, received in the music-room. Progressive Rook was played at seven tables, and an elegant supper was served. Besides the members of the club, many other ladies, to the number of twenty or more, shared Mrs. Wat son's hospitality oti thii delightful occasion. Lanier Fidelis Class. Miss Pearl Underhill entertained the Lanier Fidelis Class from 8:00 to 11:00, last Friday evening, at her home on Third Street. All the mem bers of the class were present. They were entertained by various games and music on the Victrola, after which delightful refreshments were served The guests departed declaring Miss Underhill a most charming hos tess and hoping to meet with her again. Those present were: Misses Helene Ives, Florence Muns, Gradabelle and Robtrta Turner, Ola Brady, Lucile Johnson, Pearl and Lelia Underhill; Messrs. John Chapin, Paul Johnson, Howard Stephenson, Dixon Hood, Verney Talton and Lewis F. Adley, of Dunn. Entertained at Cards. On Friday afternoon, Mrs. T. C. Evans entertained a few friends at cards, in honor of Miss Linda Hos kins, of Charlotte. The simple decorations of Narcissus and Galax leaves were most effective, and the game of Auction Bridge was greatly enjoyed. After the game a dainty collation was served. Scene at the Post Office. It was about 8:20 and a number of men were standing in the lobby wait ing for their morning paper. As soon as the first one was handed out some person standing near, saw the big headlines in red, and thinking that some big news event had happened, snatched the paper from his neigh bor's hand, exclaiming "Let's see what has happened." As soon as he saw that a large part of that front page was taken up featuring a con test in which automobiles and other prizes were to be given to those who would quit their jobs and go out to work for the paper taking a "chance," he threw the paper down in disgust and walked away. He felt cheaper than if he had been fooled into read ing a "patent medicine" advertise ment. Hook Tournament. The U. D.

The game was played enthusiasti cally for two hours, and an elegant supper was served. Besides the regular members of the club, Miss Hoskins, of Charlotte, and Mrs. George R. Pou, of Smithfield, were present. To Hear Maud Powell. The announcement that Maud Pow ell, the great American Violinist, is to be at the Raleigh Auditorium next Tuesday night, is good news to a number of Smithfield folks who are anticipating attending. Nearly 30 Smithfield people heard the great Paderewski last week, and if the weather is favorable, perhaps as many or more will hear Maud Powell. Minstrel at Wilson's Mills.
