On to Greensboro!
By far tlie big;;t‘st event of the season "ill be imlled off Kaster Monday when
tlie local club "oes over to Greensboro to meet LaKayette college at Cone athletic
park at 3 o’clock of that date. Matters pertaining to tlie special train to be
operated on schedule printed below have a'l been arranged, and only the manifested
wrath of Jupiter I’luvius himself can pre ent this from being the biggest event of
its kind local fans and fannies have enj >yed since the famous May Day fete of
several years past.
So far as the team is concerned we h:)hl out hopes of the most optimistic kind,
for our bunch has been through two games already, besides having two weeks’ good
practice, while the outfit from Kasloii lias had to do most of their work on the floor,
so Manager Pearson writes. At any rate his club will, judging, from previous per
formances in these parts, be able to give us ati interesting fight, and the probability
is that spectators, rooters, fans or what not who care to follow the details of tlie
game will find ])leuty of excitement to ke?p them warm, even if the weather should
be unfavorable for the little red shoes already made famous by the ‘‘Spring Maid.”
Mr. A. L. Lincoln of Baltimore, Md.,
'10, formerly Bursar of 'the College and
for five years secretary to the President,
is the guest of l^resident and Mrs. Harper.
Mr. Lincoln is at present student in the
luedicjil department of Jolms Hiipkins
Tniversity, but his familiar voice will al
ways sound natural here.

has of the many invitations tendered him
for after-dinner siieeches. addresses, relig
ious and educational, acce|)ted and expects
to fulfill the following.
t)n March 27 at Siler City, the occasion
being the closing of city schools. April 10

School convention at Hiuh Point, and on
Ajiril 24th the State Sunday School Con
vention at (Tieeiisboro. On April 29th,

to deliver the annual address to students
and patrons of the Kenly high school and
academy, of which institution the President
was at one time jirincipal and also aided

the school what it is.

the Men’s hau(|uel at Greensboro and re
ports a pleasant as well as inspiring oc
casion.
At a recent meeting of the city council
it was dei'ided to lay a goodly portion
of cement walk in various portions of the
town. One section fo extend from the
residence of Dr. Amick on the west side
of the street to the residence of J. C. Mc
Adams, and from vihat is known as Lam
beth’s corner eastward joining the section
above described.
This fills a long felt need, and while
it may effect the local trade of shoe shin
ers, will be welcomed by all as a tardy
fulfillment of an ancient desire.
