So far there seems to be but little interest in the approaching election. The passing of the Chicken Ordinance has brought about a little talk and it is expected that a more lively interest will be taken in town affairs during the next two or three weeks. Neuse River Rising. Mr. E. S. Sanders, Weather Ob server at Smithfield, reports that Neuse river is 16 4-10 feet and still rising.

News is sent out from Goldsboro that the Second Regiment of North Carolina National Guard will bt as signed to home guard duties such as guarding railroad bridges, tunnels, locks and such manufacturing plants as the Eastern Department may des ignate in North Carolina east of the Yadkin river. A number of the Smithfield and Selma boys are in the Second Regi ment. They were members of the Selma Company when the troops were called into the services last summer.

Sanders, was later assigned to cjuties in the headquarters company 1 of the Regiment and is now an aid to Colonel Metts, commander of the Second. Mr. Sanders has made a good soldier and his friends are glad to hear of the high stand he has taken since joining the colors. Vesper Service Wednesday. On account of the rain the Easter Vesper service was not held at the Methodist church Sunday evening at 6:30. We are requested to state that j it will be held Wednesday at the Methodist church at 7:30. The public is cordially invited to attend. The pro gram will be given as printed in Fri day's Herald. Popular Clayton Couple Wed. Mrs. Carlotta B. Fort and Mr. Rob bie W. Sanders were married in Ral eigh yesterday at twelve o'clock at the Yarborough Hotel, the ceremony j being performed by Rev. Geo. B. Starling, of Durham. The ceremony ! was a very quiet one being, witnessed by only a few of their intimate friends and relatiuves. The wedding party J motored to Raleigh in the morning, j and immediately after the marriage Mr. and Mrs. Sanders left for a short; wedding trip North. Both Mr. and Mrs. Sanders are well known and very popular through out this community. Mrs. Sanders is ; the daughter of Mrs. David W. Bar- ! bour, of Clayton, and is a young lady ! possessed of both beauty and accom- j plishments and it: prominently con- ! nected with the social life of Clayton. Mr. Sanders is connected with the firm of Ashley Home & Son and is J prominent in the business life of Clayton. In the briday party were Mr. and j Mrs. Charles W. Home, Mrs. Ashley j Ilorne, Mr. and Mrs. J. Dwight Bar bour, Mr. Swade Barbour, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Page, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Pope. ? Clayton News, 5th. To The Public. The Woman's Club, co-operating: with the clerks and salespeople of Smithficld, is asking the merchants to close their stores at six o'clock each day, beginning May 15th, and ending September 1st. Those who have to work in stores or offices from early in the morning and stay till late in the afternoon have absolutely no time for out door exercise, and we feel sure that the buying public will appreciate this fact and do their shopping before six o'clock, so that those who stay in doors all day may have a little time for recreation. Pomona School Close. The Pomona School will close next Friday, April 13th, with appropriate exercises. The morning exercises will be featured by the address of Rev. B. R. Lacy which is appointed to be de livered at eleven o'clock. A picnic dinner will bo served on the grounds. The afternoon will be devoted to games r.nd athletics generally. How er, enough time will be taken to sell the school pig which will be sold at auction to the highest bidder. Pomona is perhaps the only school in the county that has its own pig and since there will be no one to look after it after school closes the pig will be sold and the proceeds given to the school. A concert will be given in the even ing, beginning at eight o'clock. The public is invited to attend and enjoy the day. Plenty of well filled baskets will be appreciated. fHE SMITH FIELD MARKET.

Spelling Match and Seventh Grade Diplo mas at Opera House. 10:00 O'clock ? Story Telling at School Auditorium. 1 1 :00 O'clock ? Declaimers' Contest at Opera House. 11:00 O'clock ? Reading Contest at School Auditorium. Afternoon ? Athletics at Fair Grounds. The above program is a repetition of one already pub- \ lished, but I am trying to keep this before all of our peo- k pie so that there will be no mistake as to time and place j! for these events. ^ note the program and if you are a contestant in spell- jj ing, be at the Opera House promptly at ten o'clock. As i soon as the spelling match is over the seventh grade cer- jj tificates will be awarded. This spelling will be conducted jj just as we have had our spelling contests for the rural ii schools here-to-fore. Words from the fifth and sixth sec- j| tions of "A Spelling Book" will be used. The words will jj be given out and spelled just as we have done in our k group commencements. When a contestant misses a word | he will take* his seat and the last one standing will be jj declared winner. < I will say in connection with this spelling that the rules * for spelling contests which were published in last week's ?J Herald applied to the town school group and not to our jj rural groups. ? Story-telling has been one of the most attractive and j| interesting features of our group commencements. We jj are looking forward to the story-telling hour at the school ii Auditorium next Saturday. Some of our little boys and ? girls have done unusually well and we are very much jj pleased with the work our teachers have done as shown * by these pupils. I And we are proud of our declaimers who are coming in jj Saturday to see which may be winner of all the groups. jj It is no little thing for a boy, sometimes with little train- ? ing, to stand out before his own home people and the peo? || pie of his section and forget self in his desire to win for jj his school. These boys have done well as you will all * know who hear them at the Opera House next Saturday. J All the above and even more might be said for the girls who did win and who did not win in the contests last week. These nine girls are coming up on Saturday too that it may be decided who is best among them. We regret very much that length of program will necessitate our having programs at the same time in different places. This has to be hurried for the paper, so we cannot give names of those who will be on the program for Saturday. In Friday's Herald will appear, however, a full program of each section.
