What many people think to be the best season of the entire year ia* up or us now—the autumnal season. It is a time when we are relieved of the oppressive heat of summer; a time when the people are handling money; and a time for increased activities in every field. It is to be hoped that the people of our congregation will get in to this spirit, come to the church serv ices in greatn -cfmbers; come, bringing their with them, as God has meant that they should do. Our Sunday school- is electing new officers and teachers, and these will be r ady for their duties in a week of so.

H. DICKEY , • The writers of our Sunday school lessons bear in mind always that we are studying a whole book, instead of mere parts of a book. Accordingly, a portion of time is spend in the New Testament, and a part in the Old Tes tament. We have been studying the Old Testament now for some-months, and at the beginning of the New Year will go back to the New Testament folr six months. Likewise, it is the plan, 1 believe, of those who plan the lessons, to cover the Bible In about every seven years. Of course, all passages can not be treated, but an attempt is made to get at those passages which are central and fundamental. And, if one follows a course of Sunday school study for an entire period of seven years, that one should have a rather broad and general acquaintance with the Hible and its contents. . Along with this plan, it will be no ticed that special lessons are inserted cn temperance about every three months It was wise for the commit tee to include this topic. It is prop erly an educational matter, and the church schools are certainly within their province in teaching the subject and making pronouncements Upon it. Not only the Bible but correlated top ics is our field. Nc/t only that but the whole world. Chnst came to a world, and We are to deal with the world. Therefore, anything within our teach that affects the world's population is subject for religious discussion. We began in April a six months' study of the Old Testament. We start ed there with the beginning, which is creation. In July we began the quar ter which is just now closed. In it we dealt with the Children of Israel and their enslavement in Egypt. Witfl the call of Moses and his masterly generalship in getting the Israelites out of Egypt and on their way to the Promised Land. Mount Sinai was not only the high physical moun -tain in that journey, but it was ifte high moral and religious peak which was reached by Moses and his army as they journeyed toward Palestine. During this journey, we see the germ of our present church. True, the structure has gone through its eyolu- I tion. But the tent of mee^lnlff 1 the tabernacle, this was the germ out of ! which later came the temple, the syn agogue, the cathedral, and the church tf this century. Moses died on top a mountain over looking his Promised Land without' getting to it. The people with whom he left Egypt died, likewise, nearly every one of them, before going in. But God's purpose didn't die, for He raised up a new generation to carry out His purpose. ~ And the next quarter's lessons, up on which we start out next Sunday, is the story of "arrival." God's army crosses the Jordan, makes conquest of the territory, possesses the land, and sets up a civilization. What this has* meant to the worlds history, no Man can say. It gave to us our Saviour, and He is giving to us new hearts, and consequently new heavens and a new earth. Business men and farmers are urg ed , to attend the peanuf meeting at j eight o'clock at the court house to right. Display Home Economics One Feature of Fair Number of Demonstra tions to be Put on Duirng Week The Woman's Building at the Fair here next week will be on»tf the main centers of attraction when dozens of demonstrations will be given daily. The home economics department this year will surpass, without a doubt, all exhibits of former years, and the work in this department will be of much interest to patrons of the fair. We mention a few of the exhibits and demonstrations that will be given during the four days. The weaving department of the Crossnore School will have exhibits of hand-woven household furnishings and «port ma terials. The exhibit of-this 't-hool rep resents a worthy cause, and its' prod-, ucts on exhibit will be well worth the time of inspection. Miss l«ura Judd Bryant, home economics director of McCormick & Co., will have a booth, and will give demonstrations during the week. Miss Emma Grey Morehead home demonstration agent, of Ply mouth, wHI be here all the week, and she will give demonstrations on arts and crafts and reflnishing furniture. Tuesday from, 11 to' 1, J. F. Thigpen will demonstrate he making «I lamp shades. Wednesday, fi*>m 11 to f, Mrs. C. W. Snell, of Washing ton County, will give a demonstration in cake making. Thursday, Miss Trent ham, Martin's home demonstration a gent, will demonstrate the use of the steam-pressure cooker. Other demon strations will be given Friday either by Miss Trentham or some visiting home demonstration agent. We only give a' partial list of the demonstrations, but Miss Trentham as * ; ures un that there will dem onstrations and every one will be of much interest to the women and girls attending the fair. ' . Dance Question Is Still Unsettled Taking what Mr. Frank Curstar phep said at face value, we stated in ' our last issue that an agreement had been reached relative to who would j sponsor the dance here next week. I This was denied, the members of the I other side saying that no attempts toward a settlement. of the matter' had been made other than what was done at the commissioners' meeting last Monday night. Frank says that I intense worry over the problem was' the cause for his statement. With no agreement yet reached, it is generally believed otahtew n bm is generally believed that one will re sult by the early part of next week. And it is given by good authority that a dance will be held. It will be remembered that the dispute arose when both sides offeied evidence to the effect that they had .been granted permission to hold the dance. Portion of Rectory Lot Brings Big Price The Church of the Advent has sold ! a portion of the lot where the Epsico pal rectory stands, fronting on Main Street 105 feet and on Haughton Street 100 feet, slightly less than a quarter of an acre. The Standard Oil Co. was the purchaser. The deal was completed Wednesday when the officers of the church executed and de livered its deed to H.' M. Stubbs, at torney for the Standard Company, for the sum of SII,OOO gash. The price paid was the highest price ever paid for property in the residen tial section of Williamston. The church still has more than half of the lot knd will move the rectory to the north end of the lot on Haughton Street adjoining Mr. Alofi zo Hassell. if. - Drunk While Driving, ' Two Are Arrested Chief of Police W. H. Daniel and Deputy Sheriff Luther Peel were call ed out on the Everetts road, near the Fair Grounds Wednesday, where they found a Ford car in which. Johnny Hoggard and George Gardner were riding. Hoggard, who had been driv ing, was crumpled up under ing wheel asleep, while Gardner, who was just as drunk as Hoggard but not afleep, was bending over to the left steering the machine along the best a drunken can couM do at a bad chance. Two bottles of liquor were found in the car. The occupants were arrested and brought to the jail here. Official Program of Roanoke Fair MONDAY NIGHT.

The sheriff was or uered and directed to prevent the showing of a carnival- advertised to appear here for four days during the week under -the auspices of "th« A . hdskie Fair."
