A train the Christian men of the nation are being called to meet in Convention by the Laymen's Mis sionary Movement. Six years ago T$,000 met in 75 leading cities of the couutr.v. $ince then, ay a re sult, in part, of these inspiring gatherings the men of the church of God have had a more intelligent conception of God's clan for them and unprecedented advances have been made in the missionary enter prise. However, it is estimated that only about one-half of the members of our churches are vi tally interested , in the cause of Missions, Home and Foreign. The priblem of arousing the slum bering half concerns those awake. Recently great changes have taken place in the world, creating new conditions and impo*ii.g us addi tional responsibilities.

C., Feb. 8?The report of the President of the Dui versit.v, joat issued, ahowa a re markable prog nana for the institu tion in all departments, The total number of students legistering up to the present, excluding dupli catea, in the regular courses, ia 1123. The total including the summer school ia 1823. This to tal represents a growth oyer laat year of.800, and the total growth in the pant five yeara of one tlioiis and. The patronage of the Uni versity is representative of the whole State. Ninety-three and one-half of ita regular atudents are from Nurth Carolina. Practically all of its summer students are from North Carolina. Nine-tenths of the counties are represented ia the regular term, and all the counties in some of its sctivities. All pro fessions and all denominatioti pat ronize it in proportion to their numbers. The report points out that the development of the State in educa tion and in material advancement is such that this rate of growth mH.v be easily maintained, andpven increased so that the number of students throughout the year, five veara from now, may well be four thousand; but that to meet the do mands now made upon the institu tion, and the increased demands that will be made upon it, the qual ity of its Work must not be Intent ficed to the quantity, but on the contrary the standard of work of fered and the opportunities offered be steadily advanced. The business organization and efficiency standards emplo*ad_iit the management were outlined, showing careful economy in ad ministration. The spirit and coo duct of the students were highly commended. The magnitude of I the work of the extension bureau and the new, progressive steps in the internal administration of the college lire pointed out. During the year a considerable number of gifts were received. The summer school for teachers for the coming summer will begin June fifteenth. Even with increased facilities that will be offered, the capacity of the school will be taxed by those who will attend. Mrs. Annie Marie Pearce. Miss Annie Marie Pearce, of Phoebus, Va., was brought here very ill some time ago to the home of her son. Mr. J. F. Pearce, where slie died Sunday morning, January 9, 1916, at the advanced age of 73.

Former Student and Friend's Tribute to the Late W. D. Newsome. On the 1fit.li diiy of January, 1916, the Death Angel visited our community and took from us our neighbor and friend, W. D. New some, just tweni.v-four hour* after the death of his wife. I wish to say something of the ttfe of this good man who was both my teacher and friend. My first acquaintance with him was about fifty years ago, when I went to school to him.- He was faithful to his duties, and did allln his power to impress upon his stu dents the principles of right liv ing. He made impressions upon me that have lasted till this day. I can think of fortv or fifty boys and girls that went to his school fifty years ago. and I recall that only a fevrare now living. Among them are Samuel Weaver, Titus Walden, Curlew Weaver, Nellie tCottrns, William Boone, ' Arnet Copeland, and mvself. There are some that I remember standing around Ins knees with the old Blue Back Speller. These, I am sure, will join me in untieing his name for (he many good lessoDs he tahglit us. But 1 had not begun to realize his many good qualities then. It was only wher, I began to assume the responsibilities of a man; that I could more fully appreciate his wise and kindly advice. His ad vice has always helped me and some of his words have helped me greatly In my efforts to make liv ing. Later on, when I was a mar ried nian, he always visited me and insisted on me coming to see him. My home was one the last that he visited and he did not fail then to impress irnon me some very important truths. I fuel in deed thankful for his many kind nesses to me and I know that his life baa a great help to me and to the community fit large. I wish to extend my sympathy to the family that 'he leaves behind, I feel that I have not only lost a friend and brother but almost a father as well. It makes roc sad indeed when I think how he used to call the roll of his scholars fifty years ago -nd marked those present with his good goose quill pen. Most of that number have passed away and the few that are here will soon be called to answer -the summons from above. We shall not see our friends in this world, but may our byes be such that we shall all see .him In the fairer and better Land above. With these few words I close, trusting all in the care of One woo doeth all things well.?P. D. Collins. '*? i ?' ? 4 + 1 1,1 - -I /_nlvl^Ir~. ! Aulander News CnwyiUd ud Ananfcd fat H??ld Readets by out RrfuUi Corretpondeiu Our farmers are beginning to think of the quantity and quality of the. fertilizer they are to, uae this season. The very hitch prices prevailing this year and the inabil ity of fertilizer dealers to secure any amount of potash whatever combine to make the proposition a most difficult oUe to be met. Cot ton Seed Meal contains a higher percentage of available potash than any moderately priced fer tilizer on the market. We are glad to note that Mr. C. T. White and family have return ed to our town. They are at home on North Harmon Street. Mr. Wiley Early of this town was in Norfolk a few days last week. The Union Meeting, which con vened with the Aulander Baptist Church, Friday, Saturday and Sunday was largely attended and proved quite an interesting session. Messrs. Madrey and Thompson of Raleigh and Dr. Spillman of Kins ton delivered splendid addresses. The Introductory sermon by Key. T. C. Keaton of Murfreesboro was a masterly address and the Mission ary sermon by Rev- Mr. Watson of Winton, proved to be a power ful message and was thoroughly enjoyed; Mr. Watson delivered a second splendid sermon Sunday evening. Rev. Braxton Craig, of Asbeville. advocating the Judson Centennial, and Pres. O. E. Line berry, of Chowan College, were also present. Mr. W. T. Holloman, of Ahos kie, was in our city last week, Mr. Herbert Jenkins was in Fayetteville last Wednesday in in terest of the Aulander Live Stock and Supply Company. The handsome new residence of Mr. W. M. Parker proves quite an addition to West Main Street. Mrs. J. L. Prltchard, of Wind sor, ia spending the week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Mitchell. Mr. C. G. Early has accepted a position in Portsmouth, Va.,. and is at present sojourning in that city. The many friends of Mrs. G, C. Mitchell are sorry to hear of her continued illness. We hope for Iter a most speedy recovery. The new registered druggist of Mr. W. G. Mitchell will arrive this week and report for work at once. The little son of Mr. J. R. Wil li ford was taken to the Protestant Hospital in Norfolk last week for an operation ou the tonsils. The operation was reported successful and the little fellow getting along nicely. Mrs. J, T. Hollomau left Mon day for Tampa, Florida, where she will remain two or ^tliree weeks visiting friends and relatives. The condition of Mr. W. H. Mitchell remains practically un changed at this writing. His friends, however are hopeful of bis immediate recovery. The town of Aulander is sorely in need of a Jnew depot. The writer believes that a united effort on the part of the citizens of this town would have much weight with the railroad authorities and would result in the erection of a depot that wou|d be in keeping with "the progressive Aulander," and that would meet the needs and requirements of our people. Mr. and Mm. M. E. Rice have returned from their bridal tour through Florida, and are at home on East Main Street. The members of the Civic Im provement League of this city has united its efforts and contributions to those of the Trustees"of the Au lander High School and the result of this cooperation has been the purchase of opera chairs for the i school auditorium. The chairs will be installed at oqce. ? W. L firtii, PrnMnt. C. 1. ftrrj, Ik?trui4??t. J. I. Cirttr, Dm. * Trnu. * <Sj ; Cbe Guarantee Company, Inc. I ;; t . DiniCTORS: RIAL tSTATK. ?
