Ward A, with At pa tients, at Oteen has heen given to the Weldon Unit. Most of these hoys are bed patients The gov ernment furnishes the bare neces sities of life, as for the pleasures and luxuries of life, that is left to us, and depends on how well we do our part. In the past year un der the leadership of Mrs. W. G. Suiter, the Auxiliary lias done the following work: Last Christmas the Auxiliary gave the ward A a Christmas tree with full decoration’s, A nice gift for each boy was sent, also small gifts for each, such as wind up toys, favors, etc They always send these little gifts home tor their children to enjoy. In many cases the gifts received from the Auxiliary are all the Christmas they have. Since they have given all for us, it is not only a duty for us to give but a pleasure. Their nice letters of appreciation thank ing us for the pleasure and happi ness that we have given them makes our work seem lighter and worth more, especially when they thank us for the happiness they would not have had but for us. On Valentine Day we gave them a parly. We try every month to put on a party or a dinner tor them, to make life more bearable and to let them know that the glory of what they have done and given is not forgotten. Taster we gave the boys a din ner. On Mother's Day we sent them In July we sem them $50.00 for sun-parlor furnishings. Hallowe’en each received Hal lowe'en favors. Thanksgiving we look 34 pies to the ex-soldiers at the State farm. Thanksgiving we gave our ward ai Oteen a dinner. The dinner was given in the sun-parlor ud joining their ward. It was served on a long table. The centerpiece was a large pumpkin cut in basket shape, filled with fruit. There were candle-holders holding yel low candles on each end of the table and yellow cups filled with nuts at each place as favors- Sev en of the boys being unable to leave their beds were served from trays. They had home-cooked turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, cream ed potatoes, rice, hot rolls, butter, cream and cake. In November a check for $44.78 was given through the churches for the State Rehabilitation Fund. Sent $5 to the Soldier’s Home in Washington. The Auxiliary in orderito meet some of these expenses had a booth at the fair and cleared over $80. On the Poppy Sale the Auxiliary made $100. The poppies were made by the Auxiliary members.

It's sometimes a good tiling to have to keep your nose to die grindstone. Then you haven't got time to use it in sniffling in other people's business. Many a Weldon man doesn't get along as well as he might be cause he imagines he is a modern Sampson and tries to accomplish too much by swinging a jawbone. We’ve noticed that as a rule Weldon people talk louder than they used to. Maybe it comes from trying to make themselves heard above the noise of the fliv vers. SOOTMIMtl SERUM.

As ill ■ , .sket was being taken in die church the choir sung softly 1 '‘sun i.i My Sonl I hou Savior De l)i Foe prayed most 1 lingly and Rey. (i. W. Perry I read several Scripture selections. A quartette composed of Mrs. Poe, Mrs. R. T. Daniel, Messrs. Mitch I ell and Draper sang “I lie Uld ■ Rugged Cross,” and Rev. Mr. i I lays, pastor of Mr. and Mrs. James at their home in lilkiti spoke a few words in loving mem | ory of her life and character since j her marriage saying, in part, she i was a cherished daughter, a loving mother, die queen of her home and an earnest devoted Christian. Mrs. Daniel and Mrs. Poe then sang “Whispering Hope," after which the services were concluded at the grave in Cedarwood ceme tery. The songs sung were of her own selection with the addition of "My Faith Looks Up to Thee" which was sung at the grave. A large number of relatives and friends are grieved and distressed over her seemingly untimely death but they sorrow not as one without hope knowing that “Sometime tic will Understand” why these be reavements come. Mrs. James was a member of the class of 1916 Weldon High School but left the class at the end of her junior year and entered Meredith College from which in .-.lilinion she graduated v- itli dis tinction and honor. She was an expert in the finer arts of painting, drawing, etc., and was most pro ficient in Domestic Science and Needle Cralts and to make a home of Iter own was a ioy and delight. She was most happily' married in June 1931, to Mr. Lari (I. James, a promising young lawyer of 1:1 kin who, with her father, mother, two brothers and two dear little boys are left to sorrow that she has gone. She had been a Christian since childhood and was a leader in her church work. The funeral from the church where she was married a little le-s than four years ago re called her lovely, happy face as she was united at this same altar to the man she so much loved. In speaking of her death it was said, "it was like the close ol a Perfect Day looking to the sunrise of to morrow when all will be well.” i Doing A Good Work. Mrs. K. Williamson has been • doing fine work with the primary department of the Sunday School of the M. K. Church in Weldon. She has enrolled about sixty-five of the very small children who meet in the basement of the church where she is assisted by other la dies in their entertainment and in struction. These little folks have raised nearly $100 this year, $15 of which has been appropriated for missions and the balance judicious ly expended. Their Thanksgiving offering amounted to nearly ten dollars. This was sent in cute lit tle purses to about thirty children at the Orphanage at Raleigh who are between the ages of five and eight years and have neither father nor mother. This was for “spend ing money ' for Christmas and each child's name was on a purse. Mr. Barnes has written how de lighted the children were at having even a little money of their own to spend. Mrs. Williamson will give her little ones a Christ mas tree at the approaching holi days and the parents ol the chil dren are cordially invited to visit them in their class-room on any Sunday, He Knew.
