By "order of' the president, Mrs. t Edith Vanderhilt the North Carolina Agricultural society is called to meet i in Raleigh Tuesday of next week a? 12 o'clock nooa in the United States 1 court room, postoffice building. This is the regular annual meeting, I although how regular it will be re-! mains to be seen. There is among | tie directors of the society an element which expresses dissatisfaction with! the present established order, especi- ? ally as regards its inability to show a profit. This opposition will be pres ent, because it is led by Gen. Julian S. Carr, of Durham, and Frank Stro nach, of Raleigh, who are always present. There is much sentiment among those who have taken more pleasure 1 out of what they are pleased to con-! sider the progress and improvement! of the State Fair for Mrs. Vanderbilt j | to succeed herself. It is not known I whether she will accept, and while i there is considerable dissatisfaction I ~ with .the -present management it is j not at all certain that there will be ; anybody else placed in nomination. Col. Joseph Hyde Pratt, one of Mrs. i Vanderbilt's chief supporters, has a ; proposal which is apt to start an ar-; gument. He has been working on a plan to use the fair grounds the year i round instead of a week in October. J This involves a tourist camping srround and it might let the City of Raleigh extend its streets through" I i the grounds of the fair. J1 Chief Justice Walter Clark Capt.j i BiDy Saunders, of Smithfield, and 11 divers and sundry others who are I dead set against any removal of the ] fair are not expected to take kindly to this movement whieh might look < like an entering wedge. At the last i two meetings General "Carr and Mr. j Stronach have hovered close to the i edge of saying something and start-11 mtiiwlt I . - - .Xf Ulv . { *' ~ * 7 f he favors giving the public what it 11 wanted even if it includes a bit of 1 "thimble-rigging." ] On the whole Jt is pretty safe to 1 predict that the annual meeting of i next week will be interesting. j h FROM REV. MR. NOE 13 | i Greetings and Note of Appreciation i Seat by Former Rector of Episco- : 3 pal Church to Farmviile People. ;1 . 1 Rev. A. C. D. Noe, rector of the { local Episcopal church, left with his ! family for his new field of endeavor at Batesville, Arkansas, November 1. ; Many kind expressions of regret at:} his leaving and inquiries as to his 1 journey and welfare have been made :! by his many friends here since His j j departure. i A tetter recently received from Mr. i Noe states that they had an unusual- 3 ly fine trip to Arkansas and that l Batesville is everything that he anti- 1 eipated and that his family feels very much at home among a people who 1 " are representatives of the Lee and I Futzhugh families from Virginia and ; North Carolina, therefore southern- 1 era of the best sort. To quote Mr. . Noe: "Everyone has been lovely to ' us, but we can never learn to love 1 them more than we do the good < friends in Farmviile. The people here 1 love to go to church and we had 350 ? at a union Thanksgiving service held ; in our church last Thursday. 1%ere '1 were nearly .thirty voices in the cuoir ? ami the music was soul-inspiring. < How is our little flock in farmviile ? ' I am still praying for them and love ] them* everyone and sincerely hope ' that you tepeeo* get a minister to keep the work going. 1 have certain ly miimort our services these in our ] little church. There is ajo^J^los^ heart to heart talks that one doesn't get in tfteistertng to % large congre gations, and my services there were faces in my congregation and the dif the yean and make me happy." , A *ard of thanks whieh was eg-; ? I dosed, reads as follows. \ ' family while there, and for the good L wishes and generous purse with which spirit^ ^Fai^allj-, ^ ^ Contempt Decision Stirs Public Charles L.

V j : ^ | NEW PASTOR TAKES UP WORK ? r Rev. B. B. Slaughter preached his initial sermon Sunday as pastor of the local Methodist church. Mr. Slaughter and his family arrived here several days ago and will succeed Rev. C. T. Thrift who has gone to Moyock. The new pastor comes to. this thurch after three years of faithful service in. Tarboro where he proved i friend to aH who came in contact vith him. regardless of denomination.' Re has held several important pas ar and a Shriner, he was also a mem ?r of the Tarboro Kiwanis club. Ris congregation gave him what is mown as a "pounding" Monday eve ling. This was a jolApthering of the church folk who^wought with them substantial gifts for the store room and a cordial welcome to. the family. Mr. Slaughter will reside in . the residence on Contentnea street, now being used as a parsonage and for-' merly occupied by Rev. Mr. Thrift. A GRACIOUS VISIT On Green street, between Church iixl Wilson, lives one of Farmville's >est known citizens, Mrs. Ellen Hill. She is one of God's widows, who lives ill alone and but for her natural sun shiny disposition she would be lonely indeed. I said one of God's widows, for he takes the widow and orphan ander his wing of protection when they are left alone in this world. To show his loving remembrance iad not been forgotten He put it into the hearts of.some good neighbors around here to pay her a pleasant call Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Mrs. loe Parker, Mrs. Jesse Blue and Mrs. Raymond Peele broke in upon the si lence of the home in the early shad cws of the evening, loaded down with their arms full of "Thanksgiving," which was more than mere . words j could express. They came to bring die greetings of a dozen or more of the neighbors in the form of sugar,' coffee, potatoes, jelly, fruits,' Post' Foaaties, milk, slippers, dress goods, peaches and oranges. Now that is Thanksgiving with some kinship to the Master's ideals. And Mrs. Hill wishes to thank her friends for such kind remembrance of her during this blessed season. 1 ^ ? ? V . v l CiWASANDERS.

Why do.Farmville churches have such poor attendance? Do people, love big dinners and social gatherings so much that they go .there instead"? Or do they stay up so late1'On*previa ous nigfft in business and! revelry that they do not feel like getting to church on the Sabbath? If these things are true then duty is clear. Or is it that the services are so poor that they hold no benefit for you ?, So then du ty is no less clear. Get rid of the ones who are re? sponsible for the services and others that can do the job. Or # you think you could do betters try it! yourself. Or are you indifferent. to your church - because of sodal condi* tions or activities? If so, answer this Question: What is: it? thaVyotriWre bet ter than your Redeemer and His Kingdom-? No; no,-friends, I scarcely believe that any of these things are true.
