It will be se^n from the report of the treasurer that during the first six months of its existence, the Red Cross Chapter at Smithfield, has ex pended locally $1185.35. And we think it due to our generous friends, who have given us this money, to render fin account of the use we made of it. Seven boxes have been packed and sent from our work-room, containing 371 hospital garments, 79fr2 bandages and surgical dressings, 75 knitted gar ments and 526 garments for the relief of the Belgians and French. The chapter has received very valu able consignments of articles from its faithful branches at Four Oaks, and Benson, as well as from the Lincoln branch in the city. Very respectfully, MATTIE T. POU, Secretary. Mr. Ernest Gordon and Bride Here. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Gordon arrived here Sunday to spend a few days with Mr. Gor don's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Gordon at the Ivanhoe Cotton Mills.

TURLINGTON GRADED SCHOOL NOTES. Miss Helen Shrpperd spent Easter at her home in Chadbeurn, N. C. We are very sorry that Miss Jean Abel is sick with mumps.

Through the efforts of Supt. H. B. Marrow, as has been stated before, we are to have in Smithfield this spring the Berkeley Sextette and William Jennings Bryan. ? ? ? The Berkeley Sextette will give its entertainment in the School audito rium Friday night, April 19th. This Sextette is one of the most advanced type of entertainers of its kind, and we know the people of Smithfield will enjoy the program. Below is the first signed statement that Mr. Runner, their trainer, has ever issued for one of his companies: " The Berkeley Sextette's pro grams represent the most advanced type of high grade, refined entertain ers known to the American public I consider the Berkeley Sex tette the finest entertainers of orches tra now before the public." ? Louisa O. Runner. ? ? ? Also Hon. William Jennings Bryan will speak here at the Center Brick Warehouse, on Thursday April 25th. Mr. Bryan is a riuent and capable ora tor, and is today a great lecturer and leader in progressive politics, and a leader in the Democratic party. He is one of the greatest orators that America has ever produced and is rec ognized the world over as a man of great intellect. The people of Smith field and Johnston County will have the opportunity at this tim<- of hear :ng one of Mr. Bryan's speeches on "The War F'.t-unticn and the Problems io be wrought out in the coming Peace." Let Jchr-ston County come to Smithfield on April 25th, and hear one of America's noted sons. ? D. B. W. * * * Monday, April 1, after the new time law had gone into effect there was not as much confusion among the school children as was anticipated. There were only ten children late. School still takes in at the old time, 8:45.? E. W. ? ? ? The annual Triangular Debates were held all ovei- the State on Mar^h 29th. Smithfield debated in a Triangle with Selmr. and Kenly. As usual the Triangle were arranged so as that ereh team should debate on neutral grounds. It was also agreed by the ; three schools entering the Triangle to furnish judges from w'.tl out fhe county. The judges furnished by Smithfield were Supt. F. M. Harper, of the Ral eigh schools, Mr. A. :?> P-owtr, of the. State Department of Education, and Mr. Thornton one of the State Chem ists. Selma also furnished neutral judges. Kenly not only failed to fur nish neutral judges but also put one of its own former High School stud ents on as judge. And after thus fail ing to live up to the agreement en tered into the schools, she also failed to notify her guests, the debaters un til 15 minutes before the debate be gan. In the debate at Smithfield, Selma completely outclassed Kenly and won a unanimous decision. In the debate at Selma, Smithfield won a unanimous decision over Kenly, and at Kenly, Selma won by two to one vote from Smithfield. Selma goes to Chapel Hill two weeks from now to enter the final contest. And we hope she "will bring the honors back to Johnston County. The Selma debaters are well trained and we believe will compete favorably with the other winning teams at Chapel Hill. ? II. L. A. ? ? ?
