Many of the older peo ple of the state are also dh hand t visitors at the assembly to enjegthe Inspiration of this gathering of young people. A very inspiring Fellowship or Get Acqualnted meeting was held In the Mills School building on Monday night, at which time the various dis tricts put on an Interesting program of stunta. Dr. J. W. Smith, pastor of Trinity Church, Durham, spoke to the Epworth Leaguers of the North Carolina Con ference, who are holding their Sum mer Assembly at Loulsburg Tuesday on the subject "The Art of Hearing." | Dr. Smith discussed the four kinds of listeners, pictured in the parable of the sower, the Inattentive listener, the superficial listener, the distracted 11s tener, and the good listener. He de scrlbed the good listener as one who heard with slncerety, with an open mind, with discrimination, and then went out to live the truth heard. Mrs. Katherlne Summers, ot the Central office at Nashville, member ot the General Epworth League Board, is in charge of the work of the Junior Leaguers in the assembly. Rev. J. G.

His subject was, "The Talents.** In defining talent. Dr. Smith gave the . -quoted, definition "Talgnt Is . every th+ng we have over and above natur al ability," then gave his definition "Anything and everything above na tuial ability," "Dr. Smltfi very inter estingly discussed the man with th? one talent giving the res sons why -be did not use his talent. First, he said, the man did not realize where it came from, he did not know God was its giver. He was afraid too. A certain amount of timidity is a good thing, said Dr.-Smith, but it must not drown cur courage. The man was "azy also, not willing to put forth any ofTort; aid he was dissatisfied and jealous of those with more talents. As a result the man was a wicked servant toj "failure or refusal to car ry out God's purpose Is the true base of wickedness." The man robbed, not only himself, but society. The world does not owe us a living, said Dr. Smith, bnt we owe the world a life. As a result of living rs the man with the one talent did he received the con demnation of the "Unprofitable Ser vant." What shall we do with oar talents?, is the question (or us to ask ourselves, said the speaker. The answer Is "Value the talents we have. Use them. Give God a chance." "What soever he saitk unto you, do It." , Mrs. H. B. Branch and Rev. J. T. Philips, are In charge of the outdoor recreation and the teaching of games. Each afternoon the nine dtstrlota of the assembly compete In contests of croquet, horse shoes, baseball, and volley ball.

On July 3rd. 1879, at 5 o'clock p. m. a procession fully one mile long, head dsd-by-the Raleigh and Louisbiirg Cornet Bands marched up Main Street to the "beautiful park" known as the Male Academy grove, now W. R. Mills School grove, where the exercises of the Centennial Celebration were for mally begun. These exercises mostly of special music, rendered by the Cen tennial choir, and an address by Mr. Geo. S. Baker, President of the Asso ciation. On July 4th. at 9 a. m. a second procession was formed In front of the Courthouse square in the follow ing order: Raleigh Cornet Band. Raleigh Light. Artillery. Ninety-four men on horseback, rep resenting the counties of the State by I Sptalreri and nfflelals and Centen nial Choir.

Ten little girls id costume, repre senting. the townships of the county. .i-Oitl?bujg Cornet Band The parade proceeded again to the Centennial Grounds where several orators, including tlie main speaker. Hon. Zeb Vance, delivered wonderful addresses. Dinner was served on the grounds. The Grand Ball under canvass was the principal event of the evening when young and old alike engaged In merry dances. Besides extensive and elaborate [ programs, other attractive features were the museum on the first floor in the Male Academy In Arhlch were dis played a number of valuable relics of olden times, and the Art Gallery on the second floor of the Acedemy In which were many beautiful paintings. Among the notable persons in Lou lsburg on this occasion was Aunt Ab bey House, one of the most notable women in the State, ia her peculiar sphere, who will always be remem bered for bringing comfort to the sol diers during the Civil War. This Is a brief sketch of the Cele bration of Franklin County's 100th. birthday as taken from the Franklin Times report of 1879, scattered through the context of which is the idea "How will conditions be when our posterity gather here a hundred years from now?" Little did they dream, perhaps, that Old Franklin would not wait that long, but would stage another glorious occasion only fifty years hence?The Sesqnt Centen nial of 1929.

TO PARADE AT SESQCLCEN-* TENNLAL CELEBRATION The Franklin County Historical As sociation has issued an esi>ecial in vitation to the Veterans ot the World War to march in the Sesqui-Centen niai Parade on the Fourth of July, and it is hoped that every World War Veteran will accept this. invitation. The American Legion Posts ot Loulsburg, Frankllnton. and Youngs ville, wish to urge all World War Vet erans to march in review before Hon orable Josephus Daniels, "who was Secretary of The Navy during the World War. The glorious and belov ed wearers of the Confederate Grey can parade no more, the Spanish American Veterans are so few in num ber that they could barely organize a set of fours, and so the honor of parading is fast tailing to the World War Veterans. It is hoped that they will appreciated! as much as our no ble predecessors, and will win the love ot the public \p a measure an great as that shown to the Confeder ate Veteran. Of course the World War Veteran can not hope to be adored as we adore the wearers of Grey, but we can hope to be respect ed and admired for our servires in the World War and our service to our community. The Jambe? Post of,the American Legion will present canes and paper caps to those World War Vets, who parade July. 4th., and these favors will Identify them on that day. Lets fall in on the Fourth!
