Morgan recently returned from Duke Univers.ty where he. has been taking gradu ate work in education working to ward a Master of Arts degree. Mr. and Mrs. Smith and little son, Arthur, of Haw River, were visiting Mrs. Ida Shepherd last Monday. Mrs. Eli Taylor i.s spending some time in Burlington with relatives. Mr. C. 0. Morris and family spent the week end in Norfolk, Ocean View, Virginia Beach and many oth er places of interest. Messrs. Joe Morgan, John W. Morgan, Eli Taylor, James R. Kemp and L. Woodrow Kemp sjient the week end in Washington, D. C., where they attended the ball game on Saturday, and to their delight, saw Babe Ruth hit one for a home run. It was a tired and happy crowd that returned Sunday after noon. Mrs. T. J. Saehse of Hanibal’, Mis souri, i.s visiting Mrs. I.onnie Price. Mr. Richard Price, Miss Mamie Price, Mis.s Lizzie Price and Mrs. T. J, Saehse spent Sunday in Wake Fore.st. Mr. and Mrs. Verner M.

Some of our ministers say. that you can’t judge a man at hi.s work and tell what he is, that he shows his real self in his leisure hours. Well, with ail our other faults, we may be blind or cross-eyed, for that is exactly where we judge him. If he carries his religion from Mon day morning until Saturday night all through the heat and trials of h's job, we will trust him on Sun day. A good case of religion is just like a case of measles, it will break out on Monday just as well as it will on Sunday. Mayor William I. Godwin lectur ed to the members of the Alma Edgerton Bible class of the Meth odist Sunday School Sunday morn ing at 10 o’clock. This class of men is one of the. largest, if not the largest, in Johnston county. It wa.s named in honor of Mrs. Alma Edgerton, of Raleigh, who was its faithful teacher for a number of years. Mayor' Godwin spoke on “Gideon, Winning With Small Resources.” “For Years,” said the speaker, “the Midianites, fierce desert dwellers of the East, had been crossing the Jordan in hosts and despoiling the peaceful inhabitants of Canaan. The Angel of the Lord then appeared unto Gideon and gave him a mes sage to lead the people.” “Shunning a duty which one Ls clearly fitted to do is a trait observed over and over in human nature. We see it about us at all times. How many have been asked to lead in the affairs of the church only to object and sug gest that someone else “better fit ted” shall be given the task. This story of Gideon sounds strange and almost unreal to the citizens of the j world in this year of grace 1933.” Storm Does Much Damage Near Selma According to J. C. Avery, local hail insurance agent, the severe hail storm which visited the section of Johnston County a few miles north of Selma Thursday afternoon did considerable damage to the to bacco crops of W. O. Fields and tenants; J. M. Driver, J. D. Massey, Sam Thorne, J. P. Easom and ten ants and others. Mr. Fields was the heaviest loser. He had twenty acres of fine tobacco which was damaged 25 per cent. Mr. Driver estimates his damage to twelve acres at 25 per cent. ’The center of the storm covered an area of about a mile in width and about three miles in length. The hail was accompanied by a heavy wind which uprooted many trees in its path and a heavy down pour of rain. The damage to grow ing corn and other crops is consid erable as many of these crops were leveled to the ground. Selma experienced a heavy gust ’ of rain with a wind of almost cy clonic portions, but with only a scatter of hail pellets. The clouds rolled in angry-looking rifts as the storm approached, and Selma resi- dent.s were apprehen.sive le.st there might develop a mo.-t destructive storm over our city. The storm wa.s accompanied by glaring flashes of lightning and deafening peals of thunder as it gained in intensity, tensity just to the north of us.
