Public Invited. There will be a mass meeting at the Laptist church Sunday afternoon be ginning at 3:30 o'clock. Dr. Wrr.y | will deliver a sermon-lecture, subject: "A Heart to Heart Talk With Every ' Member of the Family."

A cordial invitation is given to the general public to attend this mass meeting at the Baptist church at three o'clock Sunday afternoon and be entertained and instructed. Miss Poole's Opening. The attractive millinery store of Miss Ora V. Poole was the Mecca for the ladies of the town and county last Tuesday, the occasion being the "Opening Display" of her Fall and Winter hats. The shapes were in diversified mod els varying from small turbans and toques, through all the medium sizes, to the very wide brim sailors, with their suggestion of the picturesque Gainsboroughs. Purple was probably the favorite color, with Taupe a close second, and the useful all-black hat, was as pop ular as ever. There were dainty hats for after noon showing delicate shades of blue and pink, with rich ostrich garniture. Silver ribbon was most skilfully psed and another pleasing effect was pro duced by an artistically executed de sign in braiding. Some of the pattern hats were from the houses of James G. John son, and Baird Bros., of New York, Louisvillo and Cincinnati, and all of them showed the well-known good taste of Miss Poole, and her exper ienced assistants. X. Y. Z. Richardson-Sanders. At the home of Mrs. Annie B. San ders, her daughter, Miss Clyde, and Mr. Z. H. Richardson, son of Mr. Joe Richardson, of Kenly, were mar ried Wednesday, September 26th. The ceremony was performed by Rev. T. W. Siler, pastor of the bride. They are popular young people who have a large host of friends whose best wishes will follow them as they put out their bark on the matrimonial sea. Eastern Star Attention. Miss Blanche Johnson, Deputy Grand Matron, will visit Neuse Chap ter of the Eastern Star in special meeting, Monday, October 1st, at 2:30 in the afternoon. All Eastern Star members are re quested to be present and attend. MRS. NETTIE UNDERWOOD, Worthy Matron. In Honor of Miss Margaret Muns. Thursday evening from 8:30 until 11:00, Miss Retta Martin was at home to the D. G. S. Girls, in honor of Miss Margaret Muns, who on next Tuesday evening, October 2nd, will become the bride of Mr. Emmett Johnson. Miss Muns being asked to come ahead of time, did not realize that she was be ing entertained, as one by one, the club girls casually dropped in. The girls each brought their sewing, and after plying their needles for awhile, they decided to indulge in some old fashioned games, charades, "Slap in and Slap Out," followed by "Hiding the Thimble" were played. But strange to say, with the finding of the thimble, interesting parcels were found bearing the name of Miss Muns. These packages were then pre sented to the guest of honor who op ened each one and to her amazement found them to be lovely lingerie gifts. The club girls then gave toasts to the bride-to-be, after which tempt ing refreshments consisting of fruit salad and tea were served. Those present were, Misses Marga ret Muns, Bettie Watson, Helen Wal lace, Lalla Rookh Stephenson, Flor ence Muns, Virginia Puckett, Eloise Martin, Blanche Bailey, Irene Myatt and Cora Belle Ives. For Peace. Were half the power, that fills the world with terror, Were half the wealth, bestowed on camps and courts, Given to redeem the human mind from error, There were no need of arsenals or forts. ? Longfellow. The American people are consum ing an average of 90 pounds of sugar pear year for every man, woman and child. The French people have been reduced to 21 pounds a year per capi ta, and their supply ev?n at that rate is practically exhausted. A man's life can be no larger than the objects to which it is given. ? Henry Churchill King. DR. WRAY AT BAPTIST CHURCH, i I A Native of Shelby and Cousin of the ( Famous Dixon Brothers, Regan His Night Meetings Here W ith Great Sermon on Prayer. Dr. John A. Wray, a North Caro linian by birth, but who has spent the past twenty years in the pastor ate and evangelistic work in Georgia, Florida and Oklahoma, is drawing ever increasing congregations at the Baptist church by his strong gospel sermons. He is at present pastor of the First Baptist church at Monroe, N. C., having come there from Okla homa. Dr. Wray, who is a first cousin of Thomas Dixon, noted author, and Dr. A. C. Dixon, pastor of a great church in London, after graduating at Wake Forest College, took post graduate work at Harvard University and at the Southern Baptist Seminary at Louisville, Ky. Though a native of Shelby where he and his cousin, Rev. John W. Suttle, former pastor of the Smithfield Baptist church for nine years, spent their boyhood days to gether, he has spent the past twenty years in the States named above where he has been a successful pastor and evangelist. Dr. Wray is a graceful and accom plished speaker and carries the truth home with great force. He is ably assisted by Mr. Furman Betts, of Raleigh, who leads the sing ing at each service. Mr. Betts is an evangelistic singer of many years ex perience. His well rendered solos arc a feature of each service. Dr. Wray arrived Tuesday after noon and held his first servicc at 3:30 that day. That night a good congre gation greeted him. He spoke on the theme of prayer. Many have said that they never heard a greater ser mon on the subject. His language was chaste and clear-cut. He used many beautiful figures to drive home the great truths of the gospel. In the midst of his sermon he reached a climax in his apostrophe to prayer. He began this period by quoting as follows from some strong writer: "Prayer! What is Prayer? Prayer is helplessness loaning on power. "Prayer! It is misery wooing bliss! "Prayer! It is corruption panting for immortality and earth-borns claiming nativity beyond the stars! "Prayer! It is the flight of the soul po the bosom of God, claiming kin dred in the skies! "Prayer! It is the spirit of earthly soarings, rising to a higher sphere and bathing its plumes in the ethereal and eternal!" Dropping the quotation, the speaker again exclaimed: Prayer! It's an asbestos robe about the children of God through which the fires of earth and hell can never eat their way. Prayer! It's the storm-tossed mari ner looking toward the lights along the shores of the Beulahland. Tt is the sweetest privilege of your life and of my life! Those who heard Dr. Wray in this sermon had a new vision of the mean ing and worth of real prayer. The sermon will help many and encourage and strengthen their prayer life. Dr. Wray preached a strong sermon Wednesday night on the subject, "For Jesus' Sake." The text for Thursday night was "Where Art Thou?" Both sermons were strong and forceful. The afternoon services are held each day at 3:30 o'clock and have been well attended so far. The services will continue until further notice each day at 3:30 and 7:45. Three services Sunday: 11 A. M., 3:30 P. M., and 7:45 at night. The people of the town and com munity are given an earnest invitation to attend all these services. Teachers' Examination. The regular teachers' examination will be held in Smithfield, October 9th and 10th All who wish to take this examination are requested to be here by nine o'clock.
