SERVICES ON LOUISBl'RG CIRCUIT The pastor of the Loulsburg Cir cuit, E. C. Crawford, will fill his reg ular appointments at Bunn and Pros 1 pect Sunday, November 21st, 1926. Bunn, Sunday morning 11 a. m. Sub ject, "Giving God a Chance." Bunn, Sunday night, 7 p. m. Sub ject: rWhat Does It Mean to be Sav ed?" Prospect, Sunday afternoon 3 p. m., subject: "How God Reveals Him self to Man." | Make arrangements now to be with us in at least one of these services Rbosevelt was a great man; he was a great church goer. Here are his nine points on church going. Follow a wise and good man by forming the habit of going to church regularly Begin with us Sunday, i 1. In this actual world, a church lens community, a community where men have abandoned and scoffed at or ignored their religious needs, is a community on the rapid down grade. 2. Church work and church attend* ance mean the cultivation of the habit of feeling some responsibility for oth ers. 3.- There are enough holidays tor most of us. Reserve one day in the week for the Lord. 4. Tes, I know all the excuses, i know that one can worship the cre ator In a grove of trees, or by a run ning brook, or in a man's own house just as well as in a church. But I also know as a matter of cold fact that the average man dees not thus worship. 5. He may not hear a good serm on at church. He will hear a sermon by a good man who is engaged all the week in making hard lives lit tle easier. I He will listen to and take part In reading some beautiful passages from the Bible. And If he is not fa miliar with the Bible, he has suffered a loss. T. He will take part in singing some good hymns. I. He will meet and nod or speak to good, quiet neighbors. He will come away feeling a little more charitable toward all the world, even toward those exceeatvely foolish young men who regard church going as a soft performance. t. I advocate a man's joining In church work for the sake of showt lag his faith by his works." ?--- ids'1 ?' 11 s V*i'> i i V ? ;v HICKORY ROCK SCHOOL Come to Hickory Rock school Mon day afght, November 32 and enjoy a night ot tun.

H. Wright, of Dur ham. In memory of his sister, Panie Julia Wright, a member of the class of 1868, will be dedicated on Tuesday November 23, at the I-oulsburg Me thodist Church, at eleven o'clock. It was flrst planned to hold the dedica tory services on the campus, but the uncertain weather makes this Impos sible. It is hoped that the Methodist church will be able to accommodate the visitors and friends although quite a number of out-of-town guests are expected. An Interesting program has been arranged for the deication. Rev. A. D. Wilcox, a former member of the Board of Trusteec and financial agent of the College, now pastor of the Trin ity Methodist Church at Charlotte, will make the' address for the trus tees and people of Franklin county. Mr. D. W. Newsom, long secretary and treasurer of Trinity College and a writer of more than state-wide re putation, a member of the Board of Trustees, has written a special poem for the occasion. Mr. Wright will make an address concluding the pro gram. An Interesting feature of the program will be the unveiling of the two oil paintings, one of Mr. Wright and one of Pattie Julia Wright, paint ings which have been given to the College by the Trustees and by Presi dent Mohn, and which will later be hung in the reception hall of the Pat tie Julia Wright dormitory. At one o'clock a reception and lun cheon will be given Mr. Wright and his out-of-town friends. Special in vitations have been Issued for the luncheon, those being invited being the special campaign workers for the Franklin County Building. The Trus tees of the College regret very much that all the Franklin County Building subscribers cannot be entertained at this time, but as the capacity of the i dining room is limited, only the cam paign workers cn be enterttned. The Pattie Julia Wright Dormitory | will be thrown* open to inspection by [the public between the hours of ten I and one. Students and faculty will ; be glad to receive visitors during these hours, and it is hoped that Franklin ; county people will avail themselves | of this opportunity to Inspect the I building. The Franklin County Build ing which has been enclosed will ;also be ready for inspection. This build lng will be completed as soon as ad ditional money has been collected and it is hoped that this can be done at once as a payment is due December 1. The college management has de clared Tuesday, November 23 as a holiday, thus recognizing the import ance of the day in the life of the Col lege and doing honor to Mr. Wright. :the chief benefactor of the college | It seems to us fitting that the town land county also declare a holiday on this occasion and turn out and greet Mr. Wright, a Franklin county man. on his return home for the second time in fifty years. How fitting it would be for the business houses of our town to close from eleven to twelve, at which hour the dedication of th(bulldlng will take place. At least every Franklin county man and woman who possibly can attend the dedicatory services at the church, thus doing honor to one of Franklin Coun ty's most distinguished sons. Let us make this a real home coming for him. JOE CAN30X DEAD Danville, 111., Nov. 12.?The fiery spirit of Joeeph Gurney Cannon, dim med to an ember by the weight of ninety years, was quenched today by death. In the home from which he went to Congress flfty-three years ago, and amid walls laden with the trophies of his public life, the patriarch died at high noon. In the midst of a deep sleep. : Weakening c< the heart muscles caused his death, but the general depredations of old age had warned his family several months ago that the end was near. He told comrades la the national House, when he quit Its halls In 1922, that he was going ' home to die. hotne to the rambling brown mansion which he built slxty ago (qr bis bride who pre-' him to StR * I COL. SOOTT FOR PREPAREDNESS (onmaniler of lfltth Regiment Chief Speaker at Loibliiif treat Speaking at the Armistice Day cele bration here Friday night Col. Dou E. Scott, of Graham, commanding oL fleer of the 120th regiment, said that he did not want war any more than any other citizen does but "when war comes," he said, "I want oar na tion ready for it Let us be so well prepared that other nations will re spect our strength. ("We have our land full of people who are crying aloud for disarma ment, for peace at any codt. If we heed their cries we will no longer se cure our blessings of liberty to our selves and our posterity. I say down with this type of citizen who no long er desires to secure our domestic tranquility or to promote the gen eral welfare of the nation. He is a traitor to our ancestors and a menace to our peace. "When in the next generation an invading army is stabling its horses in the Library of Congress, using the capitol as barracks, parking tanks in the pretty bower beds, and knocking the noses off the marble fountain nymphs in the plaza, an outraged nation will damn the memory of the men who had no better sense than to create beauty and wealth without providing the means of protecting it." The weekly luncheon of the Kiwan is Club held Friday night at the Frank tin Hotel was given a patriotic flavor by reason of the prox?mity of the date | to Armistice Day. The program had been placed in charge of Major S. P. Boddie. Major Boddle invited the soL diers who were members of the Lou isburg company (Co. D. 120th Infan try) now residing in Franklin coun I ty as his guests The other Kiwan iens also Invited their ex-service ' friends. After the introduction of guests the following program was rendered: Mixed trio with violin obligate. Reading, Miss Henninger, Greens boro College for Women. ! Kipling's Recessional. Address by Col. Don E. Scott. In the absence of President Arthur Mohn, Edward Beet presided and wel comed the guests. I Out-of-town guests Included Col onel Parker, instructor North Caro lina National Guard; Judge Bradsher, , Captain Carroll and Miss Hennlger { Colonel Scott said the country waa absolutely not prepared for the I World War. "Our army," he said, ("had been reduced to a corporal's guard, poorly equipped in all the ma terials of warfare, nothing up to data for the big show. The Germans came near winning the war before we could get a single soldier to the front. And.when we did get our men in the trenches we had to depend on our Allies for our equipment and train ing. In the next war are we going to have an ally or allies to furnish us with materials of warfare and train ing and to hold off the enemy until we can get ready."
