This play repre sented the seven stages of life. The first scene represented infancy. This was represented by a nurse dressing ! a baby and carrying her out for a walk. The second scne, which rep resented Childhood, was represented by the children of the primary grade* playing Kindergarten. They I selected one of themselves for the ! teacher and played nonie of the stc?r ! ies that were told. The third, rep resenting School Days, was represent ed by girls and boys of the grammar grades, with Lillian Snipes, one of the High School pupils, as teacher and one of the boys, Thomas Fulghum as chairman of the committee. They were having their closing exercises in which each child well represented his part. The fourth scene, represent ing College Life, was given by the High School boys and girls. At first the careful life of college girls was shown. Then the boys were celled away to war. The fifth scene repre sented the wedding. This was beau tifully represented by the same boys and girls of College Life and the ring bearers and flower girls. The sixth Motherhood, was represented by one of the teachers, a child of the primary grades and a Kr.by. The mother sang "Mighty Like a Rose" to her baby, during which the other child cume running in, ready f ?' bed. The se v enth, Old Aj.;e, was represented by two of the High Schcol pupils, and a boy and a girl. They represented a very old lady, knitting, and an old man, reading very, very slowly. Girls and boys behind the scenes sang "Sil ver Threads Among the Gold," ?.nd "Mother." This play was a gr>ncl success. The house was filled to its capacity. We are sure that the proceeds must be large.^-M. B. o The most interesting Mother's Meeting of the whole school term was held ?*it the school building Wednes day afternoon, March 12, because the mothers took such an interesting part in the programme. Mrs. George K. Breitz made an interesting talk on, "The Importance of the Teacher in the Community." "Our Community Probl -ms and some ways to Solve them," wre discussed by Misses Mar garet Boseman and Margaret Ether edge. Mr. Moser made a closing talk, commenting on the former talks. There was a very large crowd of mothers present, who seemed to put great enthusiasm in the meeting. ? B. M. o Mr. Proctor conducted the chapel exercises Tuesday morning. Mr. Proc tor described the children liy using a very striking comparison. Here is the comparison he used. I have seen very small oar boats made out of very weak material, prob ably pine wood. The boat had to be paddled around and never got very far from shore. There is a pleasure boat, which is a very fine one and ar tistically arranged. This is used to carry picnic parties from one spot to another up the stream. This is used only for pleasure parties. There is another boat made from pretty good material but not strong enough to at tempt to get out very far from the shore. These are the coastwise boats. But the fourth boat is made from the strongest and most substantial mater ial. She is prepared to sail on the big ocean to foreign ports. She is not afraid of the storms that arise because she is made from the best "stuff" and is able to withstand them. People may be described by the same plan. There is one class of people thr.t just paddle around and never se" anything to do and never amount to anything. There is a second cfa.ss called pleasure or good time folks who spend all their time in go ing to shows, parties, and picnics. They have nothing in the world to do except hrve a good time. The third class is the class to which the most people belong. They are right good people but they can't trust themselves very far from home so they never get out and do much for the world. But the fourth class is the very best, and in which there are few. Those in this "lass fish with their own hooks. They dopond cn themselves for what they gst. They attempt to do great difficult tasks for they are made from the best material and are net afraid to sail out cn the ocean. ? L. S. Ethel Griswold, Clyde Mozingo, Margaret Hood and Gordon Wiggs, pupils of the first grade are on the Grand Honor Roll. They have neith er been absent or tardy during the year. The second grade challongpd the ' third grade for a spelling match Mon day. The second grade won, the score being three and five. The fourth and fifth grades vrere opponetns in a spelling match Friday ? afternoon. The fifth grade waB victor ious having missed only five words. I believe we have heard of the fifth grade as champions in tle'r matches with the sixth. 1 expect these lit tle folks could lead the High School a chase in a match. ? L. S. I 0 A very interesting debate was held in the chapel Wednesday morning. The question discussed was "Kesolved, that Lady Macbeth was the Root of Evil in the Tragedy of Macbeth." The debaters were affirmative, Hous ton Reynolds and Orman Bailey. Neg ative, Lillian Snipes and Esther Vin son. Linwood Richardson acted as president and Lelia Straughn as sec retary. The speeches were very good and also well delivered. The negative side wen by the unamious vote. The eleventh grade has for the past month licen studying "The Tragedy of Mac beth." The discussion as to whether Lady Macbeth was the root of evil in the tragedy came up on class. Four members of the class decided to de bale the question. ? L. R. S. ? o Our thrift campaign is still pro gressing rapidly. We now have ten thrift societies in the school. It is very interesting to know that the third and fourth grades have more children investing in War Savings Stamps than any other grade in school. Watch the third and fourth grades. Yesterday morning Jennings Tal ton recited President Wilson's Mes sage to Congress in chapel. He is our representative in the declamation con test at Wake Forest and will well rep resent Selma in the contest. All cer tainly enjoyed his declamation. ? O. L. B. Selma, March 15, 1918. A Friend of Orphans. The fcenerous gift of Mr. E. B. Bor den, of Goldsboro, to the endowment fund of the Methodist Orphanage will gladden the het'rt of every friend of the orphnn. There will be rejoic ing among all denominations at this splendid benefaction of the beloved Goldsboro citizen, for it is additional evidence that the wealth of the State is being consecrated more than ever before to the purpose of practical re ligion. It will mean more gifts from wealthy men to the Methodist Orphanage and more gifts of the same sort to the orphanages of other denominations. The original investment of $25,000 in Liberty Bends was creditable to Mr. Borden's patriotism while the dis posal of the bonds is equally credi able to his regard for the unfortunate. . One of the matters to be discussc-d at the annual meeting this week of the North Carolina Social Service Con ference is the care of the orphan ? a general manager of an orphanage is the president of the conference ? and Mr. Borden's gifts of peculiar timeliness for it will be acclaimcnd as an incentive for men everywhere to give :is their means will allow to alleviate the misfortune of others. ? Nes and Observer. Letter from Camp Merritt A few days ago we received a let ter from I*rivate A. V. Faircloth, who was at that time at Camp Merritt, New Jersey. Mr. Faircloth writes as follows: "This is the last stop we have till we go aboard ship to cross over the Old Country where we are going to nip the Kaiser. I wish you hoys back home were with us. 1 would share you a good time over there, but as I am by myself I shall do my best to get Kaiser Bill. I have met only two Johnston fount y boys up here. "We have a fine camp here. We have plenty to eat and plenty of sleep. The weather here is much colder than down in dear old Johnston. The ice is eight inches thick here and we have great fun drilling on it." The reader will notice from the above that this letter was written several days ago when it was much colder than it is now. One on the Lawyer. During the cross examination of a youn;r physician in a lawsuit, the plaintiff's lawyer made disagreeable remarks about the witness's youth and inexperience. "You claim to be acquainted with | the various symptoms attending con cussion of the brain" asked the law yer. "I do." "We will tr.ke a concrete case," con tinued the lawyer. "If my learned friend, counsel for the defense and myself were to bang our heads to geth- r, would we get concussion of the brain." The young physician smiled. "The probabilities are," he replied, "that the counsel for the defense would." ? ! Exchange. We must do more than refuse to do wrong ? we must do right. ? Boyland. Education like wealth, needs to be circulated to be useful. ? Onward. I POSTMASTERS BEST SELLERS. North Carolina Post Offices Sold Over $780,000 of War Savings* Stamps. Forsyth and Cabarrus Leading in I'ost Office SaleH. ? Winston-Salem. March 16 ? The post offices of North Carolina during the months of December, January and February, sold $780,875 of Thrift and War Savings Stamps, according to a report from the Treasury Depart ment of Washington to State Head quarters foj- War Savings Stamps here, which report was compiled from the figures of the Po ~ post offices figures out that the per capita sale of Thrift and War Savings for the State is about thirty five cents and while the banks have sold prob ably a similar amount, the per capita sale remains far from what is re quired of each individual if the State quota of $50,000,000 is to be reached this year. From the Treasury report the post offices of Forsyth County leads the State with the sale of $60,513.13. Ca barrus is second with a sale of $54, 992.35. Other counties making good sales are: Rockingham, $42,783.31; Halifax, $37,581.36; Buncombe, $26, 622.00; Union, $25,629.02; and, Granville, $23,610.61. "The post masters and the city and rural letter carriers are so far our best sellers, "said Colonel Fries, State Director of War Savings." They read ily accepted the task placed upon them by the government r.nd their reports have shown tireless efiorts on their part as Uncle Sam's workers. I want to commend the post masters and the city and rural letter carriers, parti cularly, for the personal work they have done. We have had frequent re ports of post masters leaving their work and making personal canvasses for the purposo of selling Thrift and War Savings Stamps. Letter carriers, especially those in the country, have rendered us a valu able service in carrying the message of Thrift and the Government's plan of saving to the country people." ment. This amount Thrift Gardens and Victory Acres. Every farmer, and farmer's son, is being called on to plant a "Victory Acre" to help win the war. The pro ceeds from this acre are to he invest ed in War Savings Stamps. Those who cannot plant an acre are called on to plant a garden or part of an acre. Girls in the country are asked also to plant "Victory Acres" The farm er who would do the patriotic thing by his children will arrange for each to have a "Victory Acre" the proceeds of which they will invest in War Sav ings Stamps. Men, women and children in town are are asked to plant "The Gar dens." Every individual is asked for something, and by working the land to make it produce something is the best and surest way to meet this re quest. HATCHER'S SCHOOL. There will be a box party at the Hatcher School house Friday night, March 22, for the benefit of the school. I The public is cordially invited. ? i Teachers. Off For Automobiles. We learn that Mr. W. Ruffin Coats, Mr. B. J. Beasley and J. Ne son John son left Four Oaks Saturday on a trip to Cleveland, O., to drive cars back home through the country. They are unable to get them shipped and they are going after them. NOTICE. The undersigned having qualified as Administrator of the estate of Sal lie J.

Joel John son, Route 1, Smithfield, N. C. reports on tanlac CONTINUE Tu POUR IN People In All Walks of Life Tell AVhat it Has Done. Amazing reports from Smithfield and other cities in North Carolina con tinue coming1 in regarding the extra ' ordinary powers of Tanlac, the new modcine which is proving the sensa tion of the medical world. i These reports are coming from |>eo jple in all walks of life, including judges, lawyers, doctors, high officials, ministers of the gospel, trained nurses, school teachers, bankers, merchants and others. Some of these statements I are really remarkable, and, except tor the high standing: in the community of those making them, they would seem almost incredible. . These reports tell of big pains in weight, restored appetite and diges tion, perfect sleep and complete health. One prominent minister of the gospel declared that there was no reason for people to suffer from the many ills resulting from stomach disorders when it was possible to secure Tanlac. Tanlac is sold by only one dealer in each town, and may be secured in Smithfield at Hood Bros. Drug Co.; Benson at Peacock Drug Co. Adv.. III11XXX I I I X I i v| m * * BUSINESS NOTICES. * m ?

Bad backs, rheumatic pains, sore, aching joints, headaches, dizziness, and urinary disorders are all ef fects of weak kidneys and if noth ing is done, there's danger of more serious trouble. Use Doan's Kidney Pills, the best recommend ed kidney remedy. A Smithfkld Case J. G. Hamilton, < carpenter, Smithfield. says: "Trouble with my kidneys was cau sed by heavy lifting and straining while working at my trade.
