One of the features of the coming
Johnston County Fair is an aviator
and an aeroplane. Everybody is more
interested in the aeroplanes this
year than ever before and it will be
a treat to those who have never seen
one to attend the Fair this year.

Mr. W. V. Blackman, of Meadow
township, was in town yesterday with
his last load of tobacco which he
sold at the Banner Warehouse. Mr.
Blackman had five acres in tobacco
this year which brought him $1,540
clear of warehouse charges. Such
tobacco as this sold for such prices
makes one realize that there is
money in the golden weed this year.

Moral Insanity, or "Crazy Folks."
The above is the subject that Dr.
VVray will preach on tonight. In
making his announcement of tonight's
service at last night's meetinp he said
that he wanted all the folks to come
and bring their neighbors, that he was
going to say more word3 in the same J
length of time than the people of
Smithfield have ever heard fr ?m the
platform brfore. Everybody is invited
to attend the service.
MEETING VT BAPTIST CHURCH. |
l)r. Wray I'rfachinic Strong Sermons
at Every Service. Several Have
United With Church and a Good In
terest Manifested. Meeting Will
I'erhaps Close Thursday Night.
The meeting which has been in prog
ress at the Baptist church for the
past week is still going on. Dr. Wray
is preaching strong gospel sermons at
each service which are well received
by the large congregations which
greet him. His sermon-lecture Sunday
afternoon was heard by a large con
gregation, one of the largest ever
present at a Sunday afternoon service
in the church. His appeal for the home
life was especially strong and found
a resting place in the heart cf every
thinking person present. The beggars
in the home and all about us who are
longing for sympathy and kindness,
instead of silver and gold, were graph
ically pictured by the speaker. It was
more than a sermon-lecture: It was a
sermon of power and insight, a ser
mon that went to the heart of things
and one that will bear a rich harvest.
The church was packed Sunday
night by the biggest congregation
that has yet heard Dr. Wray. Again
he gave the people a message worth
while.
The music is a feature cf the ser
vices. It is led by Mr. Furman Betts,
of Raleigh, who loves the old gospel
songs and sings them in the spirit.
Ilis solos at every service have been
well selected and well rendered. Es
pecially was this so Sunday afternoon
when he sang "Somebody Did a Gold
en Deed." The pianist for the meet
ing, Miss Betie Watson, has rendered
faithful and much appreciated service.
Her accompaniment to the solos of
Mr. Betts has been full of the spirit
of the song. Mr. Betts and the church
have been greatly delighted with her
splendid work at the piano.
Several persons have already unit
ed with the church and many others
have shown much interest in the ser
vices.
The meeting will perhaps close
Thursday night. The people of the
town are given a special invitation to
attend these closing services and
make them the best of all.
Beginners Must Enter This Week.
Unless special arrangement is
made, the first grades of the Tur
lington Graded School will closo thsir
enrfollment to all children who have
never been to school and are not
within the compulsory attendance
law at the end of the present week.
Beginners will be accepted again dur
ing the first week in January, 1918.
The reason for this is th-.t if be
ginners come in late a special class
must be made for them which is im
possible now owing to the crowded
condition of these grades. This ap
plies only to thefi rst grades.
H. B. MARROW.
In Honor of Miss Margaret Muns.
Friday evening from 10 to 11,
Miss Alma Coats and Julia Williams
delightfully entertained the Baptist
Philathea Class, in honor of Miss
Margaret Muns, at the home of Miss
Coats on North Second Street.
The guests were invited in by
Mrs. J. W. Keene who graciously ush
ered them upstairs to the cloak room.
The hall and parlor was beautifully
decorated with cut flowers and potted
plants.
Misses Bettie Watson and Lalla
Rookh Stephenson rendered beautiful
ly several piano selections. Then Miss
Elsie Oglebay, of Cumbe^l ir.d, Md.,
recited "The Sign of the Dollar,"
which was greatly enjoyed by all
present.
Soon after the door bell rang, and
Mrs. Simon B. Jones brought in an
"express package" and delivered to
Miss Margaret Muns, "the bridc-to
be," which contained a lovely shower
of linen.
After looking over all the beautiful
gifts, the guests were invited into the
dining room where Misses Helen
Wallace and Nellie Sanders served
de>licious cream and cake.
Those present were: Mrs. S. B.
Jones, Mrs. John Swift, Mrs. W. M.
Vann, Mrs. J. R. Keen, Misses Bettie
Watson, Helen Wallace, Cora Bell
Ives, Jesse Phillips, Nellie Sanders,

Smith, Blanche Mizelle, Elsie Oglebay,
Annie Myatt, Lallah Rookh Stephen
son, Julia Williams, Margaret Muns,
Florence Muns, Alma Coats, and Mrs.
J. W. Keene.
About $100 Per Acre.
Mr. Jas. D. Thompson was in town
Friday with a barn of tobacco which
he sold for $330.56. This is the fourth
barn he has sold to date, petting for
the four $1,153.44. He planted four
acres in tobacco and has two more
i barns for sale. If he continues to re
alize as good prices as he has receiv
ed so far, his four acres will net him
$1,600 clear of warehouse and grad
ing charges.

Announcement
We wish to announce to the people of the
community that the Smithfield Building and
Loan Association will be 4 years old October
1st, 1917, with collections amounting to $2000
per month and $55,000.00 loaned to members
for building homes.
It is much better to have a few B. &. L.
shares and not need them for building than to
need them and not have them. You can en
list now and pay for your shares either by the
week or month.
Could you think of a better investment for the
Salary Man or the young married man than a
few shares of B. &. L. For instance if you apply
for 10 shares, and pay at the rate of $130.00
per year, at the end of 6 years and 6 months the
Sec. &. Treas. will hand you a check for $1,000,
or if you desire to borrow for Building pur
poses before the expiration of maturity you can
do so.
For B. & L. Information, see
J. J. Broadhuhst, Sec. Treas.
