Church service at 12 by Preston E Cayton, pastor. Subject: ‘Awake Thou That Sleepest, Arise from the Dead, and Christ Shall Give Thee Light.”—Eph. 5:14. It seems that we have been asleep a long time and that it is high time to awake from our sleep. The night is far spent: the hour is coming, said Christ. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. While we sleep today in Christ Jesus, the enemy comes and sows the tares. While Jesus was in the garden praying, He left Peter, James and John to watch. And while they were watching they went to sleep on Jesus. There are many to day who are asleep on Jesus. They have left Him in the garden. Awake thou that sleepest. Some writer said that the Ameri can people were very hard to awake, but after they are awakened, they are like yellowjackets. We were asleep when the Japs came on December 7th. We all need to awake to the fact that all we have is at stake: we are at the crossroads of life. Our liberty, the American way of life, the right to worship God. Awake, thou that sleepest and Christ will give thee light. Church service at 8:30 Sunday eve ning.

Jury List Drawn I Monday for July Term Mixed Court -<$> To Convene Monday, July 13, With Judge Clawson Williams Presiding Below is the jury list drawn by the board of county commissioners here Monday for service at the July term of superior court, scheduled to convene here Monday. July 13, with Judge Claw'son Williams, of Sanford presiding. • This will be a one week mixed term of court for the trial of both criminal and civil cases. At the present time, there are few criminal actions set for trial, and it is doubtful if the term of court will last more than a day or so. As a rule, the July term is very short, only the .iail cases being called for trial, and present prospects are that there will be fewer than us ual of them, unless a lot of crime de velops between now and time for holding the court. Following is the list of jurors, by townships: Plymouth: W. E. Weede. C. L. Gur kin. Stark L. Bowen. H. H. Allen, W. B. Cox. P. D. Allen. T. W. Earle, L. E. Bowen, L. T. Harrison, J. F. Allen, J. E. Hardison. H. J. Woolard. Otis L. Allen. Abe Adler. Lees Mill: E. W. Cheson. W. S. Kennedy. W. G. Jones, R. B. Alex ander, W. R. Chesson. N. S. Har rington. C. B. Barnes. T. W. Davis. B. M. Lewis, W. Bruce Davenport, J. An Expression Of Appreciation I am very grateful to the good peo ple of Washington County for the support they gave me in the Demo cratic primary of May 30th as a can didate for the House of Representa tives. I also want to thank the Board of Elections and Poll Holders for the manner in which their duties were carried out. I also congratulate Mr. Edward L. Owens on having the high est number of votes, and I appreciate and respect the high-class manner in which Mr. Owens and Mr. Freeman carried on their campaigns. In my campaign. I advocated that the high man in the May 30th pri mary be considered the winner, as I did not want to put the expense of another primary on the people of Washington County—and this I will stand by. However, if there are some other candidates who call for a run off primary, then I feel that the peo ple who supported me last Saturday should not be let down, and that I should run. since the run-off will be called by other candidates for other county offices. Again expressing my sincere thanks to all my supporters, I am. Respectfully yours, BEN A. SUMNER.
