A Moat Enjoyable Occasion.
On last Saturday, Mrs. S. W. Fuller
gave a most enjoyable barbecue din
ner to about one hundred and twenty
five of his friends. The cue was well
prepared and bounteously so and was
relished by all. In addition to the
barbecue the menu consisted of
chicken, ham, pickles, cake and many
other good things to eat. Mr. Fuller
is one of Franklin's most popular and
successful farmers and those present
on thds occasion will give evidence of
hlB expert knowledge of the art of en
tertaining. He is a member of that
class of farmers who "live ft home and
boards at the same place," as the
adage has it, he makes his home sup
plies and in abundance. Many of
those Invited were unable to attend.
Among those present were: Miss
Mamie Perdue, Miss Eunice Coghlll,
Mr. J. J. Klttrell, Mr. J. F. Coghili,
Jr., of Vance county, Misses Sophia
Wilder, Louis Strickland, Louise
Cooper, of Raleigh, Mr. and Mrs. W. H.
Ivey, of Scotland Neck.
Mr. Fuller was the recipient of
many good wishes for this splendid
occasion and it was . unanimously
agreed that he knew how to cue a pig
and to give his friends a good time.
The day and the hospitality of Mr.
Fuller, both will be long remembered
by all present.

Miss Myrtle High.
Miss Myrtle High died at her home
on Cedar street Tuesday afternoon at
4:30 o'clock.
Though Miss Myrtle had been in de
clining health for several months her
death was unexpected by many of her
friends.
She was a devoted member of the
Methodist Episcopal church, joining
when she was very young. As a
christian her life was spent in an ef
fort to help others. It has been re
marked by several, that she lived a life
for others, not for herself. She was
an especial favorite among the older
people and the children. One little
child was? tveawl saying to his play
mates, "My very best friend has gone
to live with God and the angels."
The colored people; so many of
them have expressed their regrets at
her death for her heart and ' hands
were always open to those in need.
Her will was always to do something
for the master.
Her father, Mr. D. J. High, three
brothers, Messrs. Cutlibert, Paul, Sid
ney, and three sisters, Misses Mamie
Tina and Maggie survive her.
Her remains were taken to Wilson
and interred In the family burying
ground besides her brother who
preceded her to the grave four months
ago.
The great regard in which sho was
held by her large number of friends
here and elsewhere was attested by tho
beautiful and profuse floral offering.
Young Woman's Missionary Society.
Fran kiln ton, N. C., Sept. 8th. ? The
Young Woman's Missionary Society of
the Methodist church met with Misses
Mattle and Kate Ballard Monday
afternoon at 6 o'clock. The regular
order of meeting and devotional ex
ercises followed:
A committee was appointed to ar
range a programme for a "Vesper Ser
vice" to be held at the Methodist
ohuroh Sunday evening September
19th. A silver offering will be taken.
After refreshments the Society ad
journed to meet with Miss Nellie Mit
chell Monday afternoon October 8th.
New Meat Market.
We are Informed a new meat mar
ket to be known as the City market
will be opened In the Sprulll building
next week. They will carry a full
line of fresh arid cured meats, fowls,
etc, and make It In every particular a
most -up-to-date place. Watch for
their announcement which will be
made in these columns.
Many of our distinguished citizens
on training for war. but we fall to
oban.-ve your ;>an-e ct the list
Mr*, and Mrs. Yi. E. Murphy Entertain.
'Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Murphy, on last
Tuesday evening at their beautiful
country home near this place enter
tained a large number of their friends
frbm Loulsburg, and surrounding
county.
v The nature of the entertainment was
an outdoor chicken and fish fry. There
were about two dozen of the "tame
vallltlc fowls" that were beheaded,
with as much joy to all, aa the consul
Nero experienced when he "caused the
head of As&ubal to ^thrown Into
Hannabals camp." There were as
many bunches of fine fish. These
were prepared and cooked by those
present, which causea a great deal of
fun, and the result will substantiate,
the statement that thero are splendid
chfcken and fish fryers in Loulsburg*
and vicinity even though in their
embryonic stage.
The work was dono by a large bon
fire, and the merry laughter from the
younger set, as they played open-air
games, mingled with the soft glow of
this bon-fire, presented a picture that
is rarely met with.
A large table was spread, and all
ate to their fill of chicken and fish.
Afterwarda watermelons were served.
Everyone present spent a most de
lightful evening ana "Hero's to the
host and hostess."
The Preparedness of Our Girls.
The parents' responsibility in pro
perly directing the energies and tastes
of their children is of such grave im
portance that a mother seldom feels
sure enough of t?e success of her
methods to recommend them to others
and, perhaps, no rule could be suc
cessfully applied to all children. So
it is npt the purpose of this article to
offer ^dvice, but rather to call atten
tion to a seeming lack of co-operation
between parents and teachers with a
sincere desire to remove some of the
difficulties which seem to me to be Im
peding the progress of our girls of
High school ages.
It is, I think, the dual purpose of
every mother to Infuse into the
character of her children the often
times conflfcting elements ? lofty
ideals and a generous amount of hap
piness. She deems anything worth
while that contributes to either, but as
to just what things will ultimately
produce the desired ends she cannot
always tall. Right here, perhaps*, is
where human judgment most often
errs. -
We have seemingly agreed that
vacation means a cessation of routine
duties and an opportunity to cultivate
the social side of our boys and girls.
Just how far we are correct in this
I shall not undertake to say. I cer
tainly think there' are benefits to be
derived from social intercourse and"
healthful recreation, but I have often
deplored what may after all be a good
thing ? that mothers difTer so widely
on questions pertaining to amusements
and the amount of time to be thus
spent. I have regretted It* because
children notice the difference and
resent the tighter rein. For instance
a mother who feels that vacation need
not be all play finds it difficult to teach
her daughter any domestic duties be
cause she does not know how to offset
the unfavorable comments of a neigh
bor who says her little girl's life shall
never be made miserable, as her own
had been, by being made to devote the
mornings to duties that children have
no taste for. Perhaps these diverse
views may not be altogether bad,
though they may be extremely annoy
ing. While some mothers may re
quire too Httle of their chiidren others
may take the other extreme, making
life_ too serious, and so I have come
to ihlnk that these differences, like
the adverse criticisms of an opposing
political party, may after all be a
necessary safe-guard to the highest
happiness and greatest efficiency of
our children. But whatever differ
ences we may have felt in regard to
vacation matters little now that it is
over. What concerns us at this time
is school.
It has often been asserted that
nothing of real value is cheap. The
value of an article depends upon what
it costs, to produce it We cannot pur-.
chase silk and velvet *at the price of
callgo. There are spurious articles ?
near-silk and velveteens, but their
sheen only attract the superficial and
unsophisticated buyer. This is also
true of things not measured by the
yard, nor purchasable with dollars and
cents. No mother need hope for her
daughter to acquire a knowledge of
mathematics or science, nor anything
else of real value without paying the
price in the hard-coin of toil and sacri
fice. Nor need any thoughtful mother
wait to be told that her daughter has.
failed in her school work. Unless our
daughters are devoting many hours
out of schdol to genuine study we may
ho All r A thav n r A mlnalnfr t ha mm-lf
I7T7 VIIVJ^Wv tUV BrarBr*
I have Heard teachers complain of
the Indifference which mothers some
times express when a gentle hint has
been tactfully given that their chll,
dren are not coming up to the mark.
One can hardly retrain from, showing
astonishment; to put It mlldy ? when
some body offers as an excuse for de~
flclencles, "I don't aspire to make a 1
teacher of my daughter," as If only
teachers need and appreciate know
ledge. - - ,
Germany bas demonstrated to the
world the Inestimable value of pre
paredness. We have been quick to
appl^^be suggestion to our means of
National defense. Does it not strike
nearer home? Are we training our
daughters, the (octal leaders, mothers
a nft teachers of the next generation,
along the lines of greatest efficiency
when ,we require of them, and permit
llii'ur merely to go through the motion
of going to school. To accept such so
called work Is to discredit a girl's
mental "possibilities as well as to en
courage ner to under value thorough
ness. The failure to master any sub
ject necessary to graduation In either
ot the schools of this place, I think
leaves a vulnerable spot In a girl's
equipment. V
An old farmer onpe wrote his son's
teacher: "Taint wortli while for John
to study grammar, 'taint done me no
good as I can see." !? "Wonder some
times if, like the farmer, -we are not a
bit out of sympathy with the more ex
tensive currlculums of the present day
-Perhaps we hove not yet realized that
Science Is not a field set apart for
doctors' experiments, but a vltil fac
tor In promoting the health and \ap
plness in our own homes. We clay
discredit Its value to the mother, tne
house-keeper and the farmer, but the
records are against us and science Is
coming to Its own. Have we a moral
right to allow our children to Ignore
anything so essential to their welfare?
Children have a right to the very best
instruction. The public schools are
making it possible for the poorest boy
to receive this as Ms patrimony.
Perhaps If we but half realize how
we cripple and dwarf the mental de
velopment to those committed to our
care when we fall to induce them to
take advantage of every opportunity to
expand their range of knowledge we
should indeed place wisdom above
rubles, and count the ephemeral shows
and past-times that have become so all
engrossing to the young people of the
present day as time squandered. It
is our duty as the natural guardians
of minors to dredge the streams, re
moving any obstacles that may hinder
or deflect the true course of systemati
cal education. "If a child has any
claim to bread to keep him from
starving, he has a far higher claim to
knowledge to preserve him from
error."

War Summary.
Germany. In a noto to the United
States, has acknowledged that the
White Star liner Arabic was sunk by
a German submarine. The note fle
clares self-defense was the motive of
the submarine commander. Regret
lc expressed that American lives were
lost, and the offer is made to submit
questions of reparation to The Hague.
The transfer . of Grand Duke
Nicholas to the Caucassus, and the
Russian Emperor's assumption of
command of all his land and sea
forces has cansed surprise among the
allied nations, but tho oplnon Is ex
pressed that the Emperor merely is
following Russia traditions and that
the Russian troops will give a better
account of themselves in the know
ledge that "the littlo Father" is per
sonally directing their efforts.
Hard fighting Is in progress along
the eastern front, as well as in Prance.
Germany has made another air raid
on the London district loss of life and
material damage t-esultlng. Heavy
fighting has been going on in Gallipoll,
the troops on land being assisted by
the fleet
It was a German submarine that
sunk\the White Star steamer Arabic
August 19, with the loss of 39 lives,
among them two Americans The
commander of the U-boat responsible
for the disaster at last has returned
to his base and has so reported. He
declares that while the submarine was
sinking the frelgher, tho Arabic
swung around afld headed toward the
scene as if to attack or ram the sub
marine and that he, fired in salt
defense.
Germany also has spoken officially
concerning the tecent sinking of the
Allan Line steamer Hesperian. In a
message to Ambassador Bernstoff the
German foreign office says it appears
Improbable that the Hesperian was
torpedoed, and that It is much mope
likely the boat ran on a mine. Wash
ington, however, still is awaiting Ger
many's formal statement.
For the first time in several weeks
on the western line there has been
Infantry fighting and In It the Ger
mans were successful in gaining a
foot hold In some advanced French
trenches In the western Argonne
region. Paris admits the gain, but
says the new Teuton attempt to break
the French front was repulsed.
On the Russo-East Gallclan front,
running, the Radziwilow the Podka
mlen, the Russians, according to Vlen
nr, have been forced to retreat on a
line of fifty miles to behind the
river Ikwa. The Russians, however,
are on the offensive and giving hard
battle to the Teutons along the Sereth
and south of Tarnopol.
In Courtland, In the region of Frlend
rlchstadt, the Germans are making
progress in the fighting direction to
ward capture of Riga. Farther south.
In addition to the capture of
Wolkowysk a railroad junction east
of Bialsystok the Teutons on various
sections are continuing their gains.
