CHURCH At the regular meeting of the Missionary Society, M. F. Church, held oil Monday evening last, a very interesting program had been arranged by Mrs. W. T. Shaw, who was in charge of the music. The first number was several sacred violin selections played by Misses Margaret Sledge and Kath erine Pierce with Mrs. C. F. Wil liamson accompanist. Then sever al selections were sung by the ju nior choir. Miss Lillie Stainback sang very sweetly, "The Better Land”. After which Rev. F. N. Harrison led the praver and Rev. G. W. Perry made a forceful talk on ‘‘stewardship," the topic of the day. These were followed by the business session, over all of which Mrs. W. L. Knight presided in a fine manner and the society ad journed with their motto, Gal. 6-9. At the Wednesday evening pray er services Mr. Perry has been lecturing on tnebook “Save Amer ica" which is in the study course of the society and his talks are ex ceedingly fine. Every one is in vited to the study of this most vital question. BROKE HIS COLLAR BONE. On Sunday night Mr. W. A. Pierce had the misfortune to break his collar bone. It seems he was descending a back stairway at his home and in some way, lost his fooling, falling heavily to the floor with the above result. His many friends sympathize with him and hope ere long, he will be himself again. No better, no truer man lives in our midst than W. A | Pierce.

The heavy rains that have fallen throughout this section for the past week wrought untold damage to the growing crops. When the rains began, they were in a pretty bad shape for lack of cultivation, and now in some fields it is hard to distinguish the crops from the grass. Besides many fields have been practically ruined by--drown ing. The outlook in some parts of this county and Northampton begins to look gloomy. The farm ers can’t expect to get anything but an August crop this year, and if boll weevil comes in for his share of that, there will be little left. [)OIN(J A 01)01) W()KK The Travellers Aid Society, as sisted by agents of thr Red Cross are, no doubt, doing a fine work in their department. An example of this is an incident which occur red with us last week. A colored woman had been to Newport News where her husband had been sick and died. In crossing over to Norfolk on her return she lost her purse and all the money she had. “The Traveller’s Aid" took her and her infant child in hand, gave her a ticket to Weldon and in structed Mrs. W. L Knight, their agent here, to see that she reached her home in safety. Upon inves tigation Mrs. Knight found she had reached her home in safety, but was sick and without money ex cept that given by friends. SPRIGHW SPARKS. Gathered Here and There and Everywhere. Livery Weldon man is boss of his own home—when his family is away. We like winter better than sum mer because getting cold doesn’t wilt your collar down. Another thing that makes the worm turn is the passing of the modern "flapper.” A Weldon’s boy idea of a hypo crite is the pupil who goes to school with a smile on his face. There are many poor families nowadays who haven’t a drop of gasoline for their autos. Some fellows aim pretty high— and then go oft lull cocked or tor gel to pull the the trigger. As a usual thing the lellow out making political speeches is alter a whole lot more than votes. Alter forty or fifty years eating practice some men never know when they have had enough. A mosquito may not possess brains, but you never saw one wasting time on a wooden leg. How does it come that you nev er read where a poor man has been sued for breach of promise? This would be a mighty friendly world, if we all loved our neigh bors as much as we love ourselves. Our idea of a good citizen is the Weldon man who doesn’t consider himself too dignified to swat a few flies. We take this stand on the mar riage question, that the man who can't stay at home ought to stay single. And die best way to make an Englishman happy in his old age is to tell him a joke when he's young. When you hear a Weldon wo man talking about a machine 20 years ago, they meant a sewing machine. When a woman gets so angry i with her husband that words tail i her, she ought to hit him with a dictionary. Wonder if we’re coming to the time when a man will have to wait in a barber shop for his wife to have her hair bobbed ? Some fellows say their favorite I perfume is "New Mown Hay,” \ and yet they never cut the weeds j on the vacant lots they own. Still another trouble about wars is the fellows who start them have money enough to pay an expert to beat the tax assessment for them. They say steam laundries do not kill germs. But the way some shirts look when they come back the germs must have a narrow es cape. A New York man who can speak six languages has married a woman who speaks three. Well, that ratio makes them just about even. We'll always have poor laws as long as we continue to send dumb bells to Congress and keep wise men at home to whitewash the fence. We overheard a Weldon citizen say yesterday that it's hard to tell which will wreck a town the quick est—an ambitious widow or a jilt ed old maid. When things go wrong in Cuba they start a revolution, and when they go wrong here the senate starts an investigation and makes them worse. You never heard of a divorce around Weldon in the good old days when friend wife had to ham mer her alimony out of friend hus band with a rolling pin. Gardening pays. We once read about a man I who received a sunstroke while working in his garden, and he got $200 for an accident msurancelpolicy. MAVB YOU THOUGH T OF THIS/ Has it ever occurred to you that when you give the editor an item of news you are conferring a favor not only upon him, but upon an old friend who, living far away from the old town, is a subscriber the The News. That old friend of yours reuds every line in the paper, every week in the hopes of finding some item about you or some of the others whom he knew and loved. Very often you know of things which would interest these former residents. You have not lime to write a letter to each of them. You could by telephone or note, tell the editor of the item and the news would go forth to gladden the hearts of th: friends. TRACE TITLE TO GEORGE III. Court Sale of Land in this County Recalls Some Interesting History. The News carries a notice of the prospective sale for division of a dower tract of land near Weldon which is of more than passing in terest. The land of which this is a part was granted in 1742 by George 111, of Hngland, to Marina duke Kimbrough and his heirs and assigns provided he settle and oc cupy said land and pay a small bonus into the king's treasury. This grant was signed by his Excellency Gabriel Johnson and is still preserved. By hereditary trans mission and intermarriage, this land became the property ot Wil liam Imlicld, grandson of Wil liam bitfield, who was born m Virginia in 1721, but came to North Carolina when a young man and settled in Halifax, then a part of Nash county. The grandson, William the third, died in 1805, and by will directed that this land should be divided by his friends, William Gary and Daniel Weldon (the founder of the town of Weldon) equally between his two sons, John and William, John to have first choice of the lots. In (his will he gives Iris four daughters each five shillings and divided his real and personal property between his sons. John moved to Tennesse but in 1835, sent a power of attor ney to his brother enabling him to sell the part given him. This pa per was directed to William Whit field, Halifax county, and the pos tage on it was fifty cents. This paper is also still preserved. Wil liam inherited the home place and lived there until his death in 1840. The land was subdivided and some years ago the home tract was sold for a division, this dower tract go ing to the widow of a grandson of William; who inherited the half es tate. At this sale one acre was reserved as a burying ground in which the generations of Whit fields were buried to the use ot the family forever. By this sale now on hand the "graveyard" is all that will be left to which the family can lay any claim but this and the tract is owned by direct descent for nearly two hundred years. 1. T. W. TRAINING SCHOOL Closes a Very Successful Session at the M. H. Church. The Standard Training School for Sunday School Workers, which was held in die M. I:. Church du ring the last week came to a very successful close on I-'riday night last. It was stated that the differ ent departments did good work and about fifty teachers and others received certificates of credit in the general course. Prof. Gobbell and his assistants were earnest and faithful and no doubt their instruc tions will bear good fruit. Miss Georgie Keen who had charge of the primary teacher's class was specially attractive and those who attended her classes were very much pleased as well as benefitted. The attendance was not as good as it W'as hoped it would be, owing to continued rams and other causes. The church at Rosemary was spe cially well represented, the pastor, Rev. ii. N. Harrison and wife both taking the entire course as well as many others from his church. At the close of the exer cises on ITiduy evening, Rev. G. W. Perry, Rev. S. H Mercer and others expressed appreciation for the work of the school and a desire to have it continued in the coming year. The entire congregation was then invited to the assembly room on the ground floor of the church where Mr and Mrs. W. L. Knight received the guests and assisted by the young ladies of the church served a delicious ice course to all present. AUTO DEATHS TWO AN HOUR. Deaths from motor accidents last year were nearly at the rate, day and night of two an hour. Auto mobile accidents, as a cause of death, are putting tuberculosis, “the great white plague,” as well kidney affections and heart dis eases, in the shade. More than 15,000 persons lost their lives last year in such accidents. Accidents must happen, but they are too I much promoted by heedless driv I ng. DOTS AND DASHES.
