A very delightful social event was the reception given Thurs day evening by thelndustrial and Commercial Club in the reading room of the club on the second floor of the Lumberton Cotton Mills office building: to the teach ers attending the teachers' insti tute. More than a hundred guests were present, the great majority T5f them out-of-town teachers. and trom 8.45 to 12 o'clock the club room was filled with young people on pleasure bent. In the receiving line were Countv Sunt. of Public Instruction J. R. Poole and wife; Supt. W. H. Swift, of heGreensboro graded school, one of the conductors of the institute; Miss M. 1. Tillman of Salisbury, an expert in primary work who is assisting in the institute ;Supt. K. E. Sentelle, of the Lumberton graded school, also one of the conductors of the institute. Mrs. Sentelle, and Mr. J. A. Sharpe, editor of The Robesonian, and wite. Mr. R. D. Caldwell, pres ident of the club, and Mrs. Cald well welcomed the guest3 at the door. In a gathering composed of such a large number of educators' ltwasto be expected that talent a- long the line of entertaining would be displayed if called for; and that is what happened. Prof. Roy McMillan, of Riverton. prin cipal of the Philadelphus high school, was first called upon and he responded with a most de lightful reading "How Kuben Played." Josh Billings would have been gladder than ever that he wrote that stuff if he had heard how Prof. McMillan got it off. It was tip-top and the au dience, realizing that Prof. McMillan had the , real goods, called for more; and as an Prof. McMillan said a little, piece about pigs it was an ' imitation of a man calling pigs and the pigs answering. It certainly was scandalous and you d a thought there was a whole room full of pigs there if you had not had "the sensible and true avouch of your own eyes". Following this Miss Mar- garetWard sang You, Just You , Mr. Ed Rancke playing piano ac companiment, and another song after insistent applause, and then there was a reading by Mrs.J.R. Poole "That Old Sweetheart of Mine". It was done with the spirit and the understanding summer time.1 A meptinO" of tho marilionr.. Ine messasres of the town win u v.a u were varied and interesting.
