Already we have purchased more than $175.00 worth of hats, and are getting other things in readiness for the session of the Grand Lodge, which is to be held in Winston- Salem, N. C., in June, 1920. On our meeting night, March 19, 1920, Bros. P. F. Long, Sylvester Wilson, and Frank Patterson were initiated in the L B. P. 0. E. W. Brother Herman Royster was reinstated in the Lodge. The most brilliant affair witnessed here for some time was the memorial exercise of the Elks, which was held in the Community Hall, on April 11, 1920. There was a street parade, which pre ceded the exercise, in which the Elks turned out fully regailed. There were several interesting speakers on this occa sion. North Badin Athletic Association The team says they will beat all games, if you will come out and help them by yelling a good word occasionally. A new outfit has been purchased out and out, and it is nothing in the world to hinder the boys from playing the best baseball that has ever been played by this team. The company has purchased for the team twelve new suits, that the team is not ashamed of at any place they should happen to go for a game, and they feel greatly indebted to the company for this outfit, and are expect ing you to attend the games in order that they may refund money for this purchase. Local Items Mr. DeBareleben, Presbyterian Sab-, bath School Missionary, and prominent race man, visited Badin on the eigh teenth and nineteenth of last month. Mr. DeBareleben was a very interesting visitor, having made several speeches while in Badin. Mr. DeBareleben, who has organized many Sunday Schools, and built many churches in this State, will return to Badin on the second Sun day in April, to give some new light to the work being done by Mrs. Laura Pierce. Death has called one member of our family in North Badin during the month —Mrs. Annie Mulder, who passed away during the early part of March, and who was carried to her home in South Caro lina, and laid away to rest. We all join in mourning with her husband, who has been very faithful to us for the past two years. Mr. A. E. Spears, of Charlotte, gen eral agent for the North Carolina Mu tual Life Insurance Company, was a visitor of Professor Harris during the month. Mr. Spears is giving the people of Badin a chance, through Professor Harris, to insure themselves in the larg est Negro Insurance Company in the world. Many friends, and members of the Washington Street Home-Makers Club, will be glad to know that Mrs. Hattie Ellis is steadily improving, and also she expects to do much work with the mem bers of the club during the spring and summer. The secret orders are now arranging to have a place in North Badin, to meet on their lodge nights, and also they are preparing to have a place for the lady lodges to meet, in order that may not have to go to Norwood. The stork has visited Badin this month, and has brought to the homes of Mr. and Mrs. Scarboro, of Mayo Street, and Mr. and Mrs. Milton Hill, of Roosevelt Street, each a little girl. Mrs. T. W. Samson is now up, after several weeks of sickness in her home on Lincoln Street. “The wages of carelessness are never left unpaid."
