Sans Souci Club. The attractive home of Mrs. A. Vermont was the scene, last Thurs day afternoon, of one of the most de lightful meetings in the history of the Sans Souci Club. % A large number of ladies were present, besides the club members, among them Mrs. Shaw, of Scotland County, and Miss Parker, of Ashe ville. Rook was played at seven tables and a most delicious luncheon was served. Meeting A Teacher of Years Ago. The junior editor of The Herald was delighted last week to meet in Smith field Dr. B. C. Caldwell, of Natchi toches, La., who came here on a tour of inspection of our colored school. Dr. Caldwell is connected with the work of the Southern Education Board as it relates to Negro Education in the South. Twenty-one years ago last April we had the pleasure of attend ing a teachers institute at Abbeville, La., conducted by Dr. Caldwell. In that same institute was our boyhood school-mate and friend, Mr. John M. Morgan, of Benson. We were highly pleased with the school work of Dr. Caldwell, who was at that time Presi dent of the Louisiana State Norrflal College at Natchitoches. In June of the same year we attended a summer school at Lake Charles, La., also un der the leadership of Dr. Caldwell. He made a deep impression on the writer, and as already intimated, it was a great pleasure to meet him again after a lapse of almost twenty two years. Since that time Dr. Caldwell has filled many high educational positions and is now engaged in doing what he believes is the greatest work of his life. Raising Tobacco In Johnston. Some people talk more than they do. Sometimes men talk about what they are going to do and when the time to do it comes they are absent. They do not show their faith by their works. Some people are talking about planting tobacco the coming season. Some others who talk about what they are going tp do will plant some other crop wher the time comes to plant. Not so with the Smithfield tobacco warehousemen. They believe that to bacco is going to be very high another season. And they are going to show their faith by their works. The ware housemen of this town have already planned to plant 235 acres in the golden weed this season. Last year they planted about 100 acres in to bacco. They believe so strongly that the price is going to be high and very high that they are willing to plant all they can cultivate. This shows their faith in the tobacco market for an other year. The Cotter-Underwood Company are planning to entertain their friends at their big department stores this evening from 8 to 10:30 with all kinds of high grade music on their Columbia Electric Grafonola. It is free and the public is invited to attend. It is now against' the law for any newspaper in North Carolina to ad vertise any "patent medicine" that ?laims to cure consumption, diabetes, ?ancer," and other diseases for which io cure has yet been discovered. The aw is intended to protect the public igainst fake mc^Hcines. SOCIAL NOTES.* Miss Marjorie Johnston Entertains. A number of Smithfield's youngest society set spent a happy afternoon last Friday, at the hospitable home of Mrs. A. S. Johnston, the occasion be ing the birthday of little Miss Mar jorie Johnston, her daughter. Progressive games were played at several tables, a different game at each table, the score cards being dainty little Dutch girls. Towards the close of the afternoon, the guests were invited into the din ing room, which was lighted by the glow of a number of shaded cande labra. The table was decorated in a unique and tasteful manner, the centerpiece being a miniature lake, on which were swans and sailboats, sur rounded by moss-grown rocks and tiny trees. The place cards were little crimson hearts. A delicious supper was served, af ter which souvenir baskets of mints were ^distributed. t v Those present were: Misses Rose Grantham, Nellie Grantham, Louise Parrish, Carrie Parrish, Irene Page Stevens, Marie Anderson Stevens, Mary Gattis Holland, Mattie Lassiter, Ava Wellons, Hilda Peedin, Sarah Adams, Arah Hooks, Thelma Medlin, and Fanny Louise Vermont.

The hall, sitting room and parlor were beautifully decorated with pot ted plants and cut flowers, the color scheme being red and green. Progressive Rook was played at five tables, while the Victrola, in care of Master Hugh Ragsdale, played some beautiful selections.

For the past week, the younger set ( of Smithfield have enjoyed quite a number of social events. The first of the series was an en tertainment at the Opera House, giv- i en by "The boys" complimentary to i the girls of the town. The hall never bore a more festive appearance than at this time, with its banks of ferns and pine and its long rows of tables, arranged for games. Musical selec- i tions, games, and dancing were enjoy- i ed by all present and each and every- < one of the guests voted "the boys" the most excellent of hosts. At a late hour refreshments consisting of oysters, sandwiches, pickles .and coffee were served to the guests, after which they took their departure. Those present were Misses Bettie Watson, Irene Myatt, Lalla Kookh Stephenson. Blanche Bailey, Corabelle Ives, Vir ginia Puckett, Retta Martin, Helene Saddler, Margaret Muns, Helen Wal lace, Eva Bain, Mabel Wellons, Flor ence Mun , Annette Lawrence, Julia Sanders, Julia Williams, Margaret Moore, Jessie Phillips and Nellie San ders; and Messrs. Edward Woodall, Paul Eason, De Shaw Parker, Hunter Creech, Fitz Dickeraon, William Wel lons, Clifton Beasley, D. W. Parrish, Alger Byrd, John White, Ives, Ken neth Parrish, Dixon Wallace, Leslie Bailey, Graham Smith, Joe Johnson, E. C. Narron, Ryal and Hunter Wood all and Ed. Abell. H f If M iss Helene Sadler was hostess to the Delta Gamma Sigma Girls, on Wednesday evening from 8 until 11. The girls brought their work and for some time the needles were energet ically plied. After a short business meeting a delicious salad course was served by Mrs. R. N. Holt and Miss Saddler. Ill* On Friday evening the Delta Gam ma Sigma Girls entertained at a masked party, at the home of Miss Irene Myatt, in honor of the boys of the town. Long before the day arrived, excitement ran high, and most espe cially when these invitations: "If you like jollity Fun and frivolity Come then and play with me, Below is the day 'twill be; Further more each man and maid, This is a masquerade!" were eagerly read by those who Were invited. So, after a week of expecta tion and wondering, Misses Ava Myatt and Annie Peacock, greeted at the home of Mrs. Myatt, everybody and anybody, from "The Cream of Wheat Cook," to "The Hero of the Wild West." After being served deli cious punch by Mrs. Ed. F. Ward, in the lovely decorated hall, the masked crowd were ushered into the dimly lighted parlor where, from the Chin ese Maid and Gale Henry to the Gyp sy and Red Cross nurse, waited to re ceive them. And then came the fun of guessing the names of the masked and pulling off the masks. Then the rromoo c 1 "l Vi o cs ? Qurnnfoi* D/\anw CU/\/\f ouvu ?.4 0. kinvtwi ivuocoj unuui" ins at hearts, stringing puffed rice, all kinds of contests ? and lastly dancing, were entered into with much pleasure. To see all these gaily dressed people, wandering from room to room, amid decorations of spruce pine, long leaf pine, potted plants, dangling chains of hearts and soft lights, was indeed a lovely sight to the onlook ers. But lovelier still was the dining hall, where on a long table banked with spruce pine, hearts and candles, covers were laid for twenty-four. Be tween the three courses of dinner, the lights were dimmed, and "the eyes of the Princess Azele," the snake from the wilds of Africa, "the hand of the Indian Warrior," etc., were passed stealthily underneath the table, At a late hour, the guests with many congratulations for Miss Myatt and the D. G. S. Girls, all took their leave after one of the most enjoyable events of the season. Those present were: Misses Bettie Watson, Virginia Puckett, Irene Myatt, Lalla Rookh Stephenson, Cora belle Ives, Retta Martin, Blanche Bailey, Helene Saddler, Margaret Muns, Helen Wallace, Annie Peacock, Ava Myatt, Mrs. E. F. Ward and Messrs. Ralph Canaday, Ed. Woodall, Percy Youngblood, De Shaw Parker, Fitz Dickerson, Frank Davis, Walter Rand, Hunter Creech, Walter Parrish, Paul Eason, Luther Pierce, Alger Byrd and Clifton Beasley. X. A. K. Bridge Club Entertained. Mrs. S. T. Honeycutt was hostess to the Friday Afternoon Bridge Club last week, and in spite of the stormy weather a large number of the mem bers gathered together in her hospit able home. The hostess, assisted by Miss Mil dred Sanders, served an elegant lunch eon with hot tea, after which the la dies, for two hours, played Bridge happily and quietly.
