HrUlUat Musical Cmh4j Next Fil
ter Night At 8 O'clock In High
School Auditorium
?? The Womani Club of Loulsburg,
and the Daniel Producing Compear 4
under the directorship of Mrs. Belle
Simmons of Suffolk, Va. presents on
next Friday night at 8:80 a most
brilliant feature?big hit two act,
musical comedy?"The Bpice of Life." I
New costumes, books and music
throughout, what a Joy! Every line
clever and full of mirth of the most I
refreshing kind. You can't afford to
miss this hit In a fashionable New;
York cabaret. "J
a Rehearsals have been going on all j
#eek and Mrs. Simmons declares the.
^talent found In Loulsburg mast un-1
usual for amateurs. She is quite ec
static about the cast. Come and look
it over for yourself.
When you have seen Mr. J. E. Ma
lone as Col Victor Pea body Dodge, a
gay old dodger from the South, his
iovsdy daughter Dolly, Mrs. 8. B.
Berkeley and her College chum Miss
Molly Makeup, Miss Margaret Turner,
for their first visit to New York and
its- fashionable and highly shocking
cabarets you will understand why
Van Bluff, Dr. H. H. Johnson, pro
prietor of the "Black Cat Cabaret,'
should fall so desperately in love with
Molly, and Jiinmle Paxton, Mr. John
King should be earnestly rival with
Lord Btxrrowmore, Mr. E. F. Griffin,
in the suit for the fair hand of Dolly
Dodge.
These three worthy suitors, though
young sheiks, htee nothing on the
gay old Colonel- Dodge, as he dodges
Miss Trailing Arutus, Miss {Catherine
Pleasants and the slushy letters he
has written her. In the pursuit of the
rich hand of the Merry Young Widow,
Mrs. Mum, (anything but mum)' )Uss
Babble Turner, who flirts most coy
ly.
Miss Green and George the dumb
waiter, Mr. Adthur Fleming, as detec
tives, make many thrilling and excit
ing blunders In their rescuing of the,
Colonel's love letters cf such value
What can we say of the manners
of Maggie and Jlggs In this fashion
able cabaret, who are they? You
must Judge for yourself.
Never could one wish for better
service than is given by the waiters
under Mr. Van Bluff's able direction,
in the "Black Cat Cabaret:" Messrs
Arthur Fleming, James Wheless,
James Cooper and Edward Perry, Jr.
Should Mr. Ziegfleld risk an eye
on .our chorus Loulsburg, would no
doubt be minus of eight of its love,
liest girls: Misses Annie Taylor, Kit
ty Boddle, Hazel Allen, Anna Gray
WatSon. Mary Malone Best, Virginia
Beck, Euzelia Hill skid Margaret
Wilder, all unusual talent.
Maybe we. are all "good" babies in
the day time and "bad" babies at
night, but little Misses Hazel Boone,
Jane Fuller, Miriam Downey, Peggy
Ford, Jean Fleming and Rose Malone
are unusually "good" and "bad" ba
bies, In the}r little dance and song
skit.
The Womans Club feels unusually
proud to have the Frank Wheless Or-'
chestra, Chorus Girls, Mr. Fred Mor
ris, Jack Brown, Radolph Valentino
and his Senoretta for their. Cabaret
Entertainers.
"The Spice of Life" promises to'
be a huge success, lets all- support

GOLD SAND ENROLLS 97
Gold Sand High School
upon_ its second week of the
school year last Monday morning with
a total nrollment ot ninety-seven in
ithe fifgh school department. It mmjia
fairly certain that the number #111
exceed one hundred before the pfes
ent week has passed. There are many
I of us who see in this surprisingly large
; enrollment an evident proof of the
fact that the boy and girls as well
'as the parents of the boys and girls,
in Gold Aline and Sandy Creek town
ships are deeply Interested in tinlr
education and hare only been wailing,
for the chance to have a gopd school
in their midst which every poy and
girl would have the privilege to at
tend.
I The six elementary schools in our
district have had an opening week.
, which for most of the schools has been
very pleasing. The total elementary
enrollment amounts to about four
hundred and thirty distributed as fol
lows: Centervllle, Wood and Gold
Sand about ninety each; MoultOn
Hayes, C5; Sandy Creek, 45; and
Mountain Grove 40. While this ett^
rollment la indeed gratifying for some
'of our schools, there are still many
children not enrolled. An earnest ef
fort la being made by the teachers In
all our schools tq arrange their teach
ing hours to the greatest advantage
!of the parents in their work on the
farm during the harvest season. We
earnestly request our patrons there
fore to cooperate with our teach
In getting every child in school early
in order that he may make his grade
this year. One of the best ways to
reduce school expenses is to send the
children to school regularly so that
fewer pupils may have to be taught
In the same grade two or three yean.
Our high school community is happy
to welcome into Its midst Miss J easts
Mae Leper, of Spring Hope, who wjtt
be in charge of the department of pi
ano thts year. Miss Luper Is a grate
ate ot the Southern Conservatory of
-Music, Darham, and is well quail
for her work with ua She has air
won the sateen of her classes in pli
in which she' has enrolled twedW
seven with others expecting to enroll
later. ...

L01T8B1RG COLLEGE OPENS
Louis burg College opened its doors
tor the 125th time last week tor what
was undoubtedly the biggest and most
promising opening in her history.
Wednesday was the day set apart tar
the registration and classification of
students, although this work was car?
rled on tor several succeeding day*,
as the influx of students was so much
beyond expectations that the work
was not completed within the time
set. Over three hundred students
were enrolled this year of which num.
ber 250 were boarding students. This
was an increase of nearly 100 over
last year. The dormitories are filled
to capacity and already there is a de
mand for additional dormitory facili
ties. It Is imperative that the Frank
Wn County building be finished at
once, Tor with its completion there
will be added facilities for nearly 100
additional boarding students.
The opening Convocation was held
on Thursday at which time Rev. C.
K. Proctor, pastor of the First Me
thodist Church of Rocky Mount,
preached the opening sermon. He set
a high standard before the students,
pointing out to them that with Christ
as their leader, the student was as
sured of success along every line,
physical, mental and moral. Other
speakers were C. S. Wallace, of More
head City, and F. B. MoKlnne of
Golds bo ro, both trustees of the col
lege. The servlcee were held in the
auditorium of the Louisburg Metho
dist Church, as the College does not
have a chapel or auditorium sufficient
ly large to accommodate the student
body, It Is hoped that an auditorium
will be provided tor the College la
the very near future. - *
The first regular chapel of the year
was held on Friday morning in tire
church auditorium at which time
President A. W. Mohn welcomed the
former and new students lis his usual
happy manner. He gave something of
the history of the college, its pur
poses. Its Ideals, its standards and
wished the students God speed In the
schoof lite upon which they were then
entering. The faculty was introduced
at this time and students and teach
ers got acquainted. -?
