BEST SESSION IN ITS HISTORY
NEXT MEETING WILL BE
AT UNION AUG. L 1917
Tbis Union name together for
it* tenth organized session with
Harrellsville Baptist Church, Ma.v
i. 1916. The first thing after the
devotional exercises was old busi
ness. The standing commitee on
how to use the money we have in
the treasury to the Ijesl advantage
for the County Home was still un
able to re|M>rt. Having learned in
the mo*11time that the county
had furnished the articles
we had ex|?ected to give, we found
that our money was not needed
there just now.
The question "what shall we
do with our money" very natural
ly went out. Mrs. 8. N. Watson,
of Wlnton. a woman always ready
to lend a helping hand in time of
need, came to our reacue by sug
gesting that we give the amount
we haj, which is twenty dollars,
to our missionary,' Miss Pearle
Johnson. This was made a move
and easily carried.
The next on the program was
the "Child in tlie midst", and it
was discussed at length by Mrs. J.
P. Boyette, of Ahoskie. Mrs.
Boyette tried to impress on us the
important part we ought u> share in
trying to help our foreign sisteis,
and that the corrupt condition of
affairs existing in most foreign
lands exist because the larger part
of the parents know not how
to lead'their offspring. Tney are
not enlightened in the intelligent
ways uf this our Homeland.
When are we goir. g to their aid I
Mrs. William*. Mr*, Hay*. and
Mrs. Greene had some well
chosen word* on<Uiis same subject
but each one's thought seemed to
run in the same channel that Mrs.
Boyette had just onened.
Next on the program was " Awn
ciational Plans" by Mrs. John
Freeman, of Union. She told us
that Mrs. Bolton was no longer a
Vice President, but a Superin
teodent. and that we no longer
had a central commitee. but a
vice oresident instead, Mrs. Free
man holding tMil honor* hei self.
The plana now are to have a Uis
trict Institute. She said it had
been suggested that we change the
time pf our Annual Meeting to
September. However, stating that
this was not compulsory, but just
as we'think best. Mra. Linberry
then entertained us with a glow
ing report of . the State Annual
Meeting. Her rords were so well
arranged that lliey made us wish
we had been there. 8he tried to
make her words weighty enough
to meet Iter desired aim, namely,
to impress us with the thought
that it was so inspiring to be
thrown among this body of enthu
siastic workers, who were trying
to raise the banner of God's cause
to meet His highest ideals. Miss
Williams, of Chowan College re
marked that the very atmosphere
seemed prayerful from the begin
ning to the end.
Mrs. Sludeobruke. of Jackson,
was invited to the front for an
introduction, and she came for
ward and told how glad she' wss
to be with us. The Sunbeams
then showed us what they were
capable of doing b.v singing and
reciting, which of course added
much ioy of all. - Mr. Lineberry
announced tliat the dinner hour
had arrived (much to the delight
of at least a few of us), and iie
dissmissed us to partake of the
bountiful feast before us.
This body came together for its
afternoco session by singing, The
first subject, "The Young People's
Part in Church Work", was led
by Miss Williams, of Chowsn
College. Her principal thought
was to trust, encourage, help
and be patient with tbem. and I
NORTH CAROLINA GOOD ROADS
CONVENTION. ,
To be Held ?t Wri|htiville Beach,
JuneJt M.23.W16. J
In cimectton with (tie Gi*)d
Road* Contention to be lield a:

N. C., June 21-22,'bnder the aus
pice* of the Jjorth Carolina Good
Koada Association, there will be

the various counties of the State.
Awards will be made for tli^ three
exhibits that are judged to be the
better ones. These exhibits wilt
consist of photogiaahs of toad*
constructed, roads during con
struction. and roads before con
struction; also of road surfacing
materials tbat have been used on the
roads; particularly of material
that are available within the coun
ty itself: road maps of countys,
showing improved and unimprov
ed road*; arid charts of statistics

special award for the bestaucl
most complete county road map.
note.the results. "How the Wo?
men Missionary Society Can b^ of
Help to Y.-W. A." by Mrs. (5ar
ter, of YVinton, followed the talk
by Miss Williams. Her point was
to encourage their working alone,
as they would feel that the meet
ing was theirs and that they were
expected to carry it on if left
alone.
"Where the^ Parent Society
Fails in Heluing the Junior" by
Miss Newsome, of Ahoekie came
next on the program. Her most
important point was that the
young people were started wrong.
Our Example, our influence, our
powers of control, and last but by
no mSans least, the time we give
to God; if these things are against
us. how can we keep them from
going wayward. Mrs Watson
told of her Y. W. A. She saifl
they bad been organized two years
and only on one occasion had one
Iwen absent that was seeking
pleasure elsewhere.
Mrs. Studenbroke told us. with
a faee sad iant with joy how to ob
tain Joy Out of Servie", the
most coveted of all things. She
told us to think bright, good, and
joyful thoughts, to look at the
bright, beautiful side of life. Let
our hands perform the little deeds
of kindnesses that God has set
anart for us to do. Joy will call
for service, and service will bring
joy. "Talk on Missions" by Mrs.
Baker, of Ahoskie was inspiring,
slid full of inspiring thoughts and
utterances on the importance of
Missions.
Mrs Vann, of Winton, talked
on 'Individual Responsibility', and
in her talk she covered much of
the same ground that several sub
jects combined had taken in. She
made it plain that each individual
was in a measure responsible for
the blighted or the growing soci
ety, which they had.
Commitee on time and place re
ported. Uuion is the place of
meeting, and Tuesday after the
fifth Sunday in July, the time.
With one of the best sessions we
have had at all lying in the past,
Mrs. Linebrr.v dis-mteeed us and
we went on our homeward war
thanking the Harrellsville people
and God (of the beautiful session
just closed.

Great sorrow ~*'fell upon our
h.iine on XJ>'ir?d?.y morning,
March 23, foil. About 10 o'clock
when tfie death angel came in our
home and took our pearly beloved
mother from her earthly home,
and transplanted h^r in the Gar
den of sweet Eden, ^here ahe will
bloom forever there.
She professed religion and join
ed the church early in life, and re
mained a constant and faithful
'member till1 the time of her death.
She was a member of Vann'a
Grove Baptist Church.
/ Altbobuh stricken in aire, no
?me expected her death. She had
not' - been confined to her bed, but
a few days before her death, when
she was stricken with Pleurisy.
On the yQornifljjf of her death she
hat) toM her busbanjl.tlial she was
better and that she was going to get
up and sit ip her cbiir. She then lafv
down and died. But no one knew
she was dead unlit her grand
daughter cama-dh and called her.
When she did not anawer, the
word was passed around that ahe
succumbed thythat eternal sleep. \
She was tpvonty six vears
age, and was the mother of twelve
children. Sh\ leaves an aged hus
band, six children, and a grand
daughter, that she raised, and a
host of freinds hi mourn her low,

Whv should we mourn as those
who have no hope, for whenever
any one would speak of dying, she
would always repeat these words,
"Jesus can make a dying bed feel
like down.v oillars, while on his
breast I lean my head and breathe
my life out sweetly there." As
we know she can not come to us,
we must go to her.
"Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe On His gentle breast.
Thereby is love overshadowed.
Sweetly m.v soul shall rest."

A Motto.'
?? ? 11
"What is home without a moth
er" 4
la a motto often seen.
Hanging on the walla of parlors.
But! wjiat does this motto mean?
It cannot mean that she alone,
Can make a home of cheer.
For "what is home witliout a fath
er"
These words to me seem dear.
It's true the mother cooks the food.
And washes the dishes too,
Ma'aes the clothes that baby wears,
And mends a tiny shoe.
Makes the pickle and the pie.
And also scrubs the floor,
Then cans up a lot of fruit.
To last a year or mere.
Makes a dress for little Sue,
A' blouze for Tommie dear,
But where did she get the goods
I pra.v,
*VYell! that is all made clear.
Dad rises early, builds a fire.
And puts puts some water on,
Boils some eggs, eats a lunch,
Andoff to work is gone.
He so often meets the butcher.
And then the grocery man.
The rental agent too you see.
Escape these if you can.
Ah! no he pays each one of these,
As he meets theui on the street.
And what more dues have to dot
Why the dry goods bill to meet.
And by the time he's paid all
these
His pile is badly worn.
Never dreaming of a suit,
That he should surely own.
For the one he has is all darned up.
Of course mother diskjt'well.
To save enough for liar new dress.
The only reason to t^l.
For Dad will never* say i wh^d.
II Yoa Only Nev tbe Labor
That Goes Into Every "Ad."
By J. R. Hamilton
Former Advertising Manager of
Wanjmaker'i, Philadelphia
Every little three line item yon
read lis* turned the wheel* of chme
great factory. Every time you see
a cut price the number of gray
hairs in the world has lieen in
created.
/ Many an advertisement ia plan
ned a year before it ever finds its
way into print. One adverlise
ment in Philadelphia a f?w years
ago opened up the copper mines
in Colorado six months before it
ever i^ipeared. A-t'^.'-^nd miners
begin digging cooper on a con
tract of brass beds, that were go
ing to be made that were going to
be advertised.
You see perhans some piece of
muslin wear advertised here whose
trimming is pretty, or some goAn
whose design is elegant. The
chances are that a hundred styles
were discarded or changed to get
this one f6r you. And all the awhile
buyer of your favorite at. re and
clusising he had yoa in mind. He
was building, the advertisment
that would catch ''your ey# and
please your fancy and your nock
etbook. f
If v.hi had been there .vou rould
have heard him telling tbe manu
facturer, "My customers are par
ticular. X They must have the best
that there is at the lowest price
that can be made. You've got to
give me something belter than
you give any one else."
Every one of these buyers is
fighting for you. and it is up to
you to show your loyalty to them.
The store that advertises to
trick its customers is almost a relic
in this present day.
Many a time vou find a bargain
that turn* out better than,the ad
vertisement claimed it to be, and
you think aomebodv somewhere,
has mAde a mistake. But there
was no mistake. It was put there
pu|>o*ely to win your confidence.
Every ounce of human ingen
uity is brought to Dear upon the
advertising of the present day.
To write the reHl ' story ef a
singlejitem woulj be to write a
chapter in the history of com
merce.
These merchants who have fig
ured,. on coats till their eyes gave
out; these buyers who have studi
ed every angle of their work, are
trying to tell you through their
advertising just what they have
done for you. And the least y.ou
can do is to read what they have
to say.
The report of all their efforts is
in this paper today. The adver
tising news should be interesting
news to you atter this.
As mother must look swell,
So he wears his same old clothes.
For her all must be well.
When Sunday, it's Easter time.
She goes to church .vou know,
While father is home with the
babies
Susie. Tymmie, and little Joe.
Trying every way to please them.
While mother's enjoying life,
Bearing his burdens cheerfully.
All for the love of wife.
Yes, "what is home without a
mother" fe,
These words are true to me.
But what is home without a father?
Just a boarding house, you see.
For father's dead and under the
slab,
And the mother's a widow there.
The honor to Dad never came on
earth, '
But in Heaven the reward he'll
share.
Let's grace^our walls with a legend
In memory of father more,
not let him go to his grave unhon
ored.
For reward on the othbr shore.
