Mr. Smith is a graduate of Trinity Col lege, and has been a successful pastor for nearly ten years in some of our strategic pastoral ctiarges. At present he is pastor of one of the large churches in Wilmington, and is a very successful preacher in this great church. Weldon is fortunate in having this preacher in its midst for a few days. As in the past, so with this re vival, the pastor and his congrega tion extend a cordial invitation to the entire community to join heart and hand in this meeting. It is pleasant to recall the fine co-operative spirit of all the churches in the revivals last year; let us have this same fine spirit again. As we near the date set fur the services, fuller and more complete details will be given thru our town paper and otherwise. Everybody knows what it takes to make a thing a success: Team work that's all We have learned much about that in recent years. It works in busi ness, in a social way, on the play grounds. It will work in revival and church work. Begin now, plan for it, work for !t, pray for it, and come to it and the results will take care of themselves in this revival. We shall depend pretty much un the local talent of the community to lead our singing and the congregation to back up these leaders. Mure anon concerning music lor the occasion. Watch The Roanoke News, the store windows, and your front porches for details and announcements from now on. We want to do our part, then for. the sake ol Him whom we serve, and thru Him, we have the promise that He will not fail us. L. D. Hayman, Pastor Weldon Methodist Church. SQUARE DANCE.

They were elegant, and there are more of them at the same place. (Not now.) Mr. P. E. Lynn has a lot of chickens on his place, and a day or two ago one was hatched which, not satisfied with usual comple ment of legs bestowed upon chick ens, came inn this world with four well developed legs.

Voters and tax-payers of Weldon, are you expecting to vote for or against the bond issue ? If you are in favor of it, you need not read any further; but if you are againsi it, please let us explain to you the present condition of our school and how much we would appreciate a new building. Our Physics teacher made this remark one day last week, "I never knew before that Physics could be taught by music." You would know what she meantby it, if you would come to the Auditorium at 1 :50 p. in., our Physics period, and see us trying to understand those dry experiments, without any laboratory equipment, and during the period listen to Mrs. Smith give a music lesson. Physics is not the only thing that we are forced to learn by music, because the rooms are so crowded that one High school class has to recite in the Auditorium each period of the day. One high school boy made this statement, "I wish that some of the men in town would have to come up here in the Auditorium at night and try to read their news papers while Mrs. Smith is giving a music lesson." If you would come you would see that we are not exaggerating. Thelower grade rooms are so crowded that some children are even using boxes for desks. This makes them so close together that they cannot even con centrate their thoughts; and it cer tainly is not healthy, for diseases can be spread over a whole room in a very short time. Education is the greatest thing anybody can have; but a "book education" is worth practically nothing without some knowledge of practical things. As our school is now, we get nothing but "book education." The girls have no training in domestic art and the boys no manual training; neither of us have any physical training, and no kind of education is worth anything to us unless we have good health. If we had a gymna sium and an indoor basket ball court, we would not have to call off about six basket ball games a year on account of rain. Voters and tax payers, you have no idea how much we would appreciate a nice, new building, large enough for every pupil to have a place to sit, a large gymnasium, a physical culture teacher, a domestic art teacher and everything that a school, of a place as large as Wel don, should have. Smaller towns than Weldon have larger school buildings, and those larger than Weldon have a much larger build ing. There is no reason why Weldon should not have as large a school as any other town of its size. In order to get a new building, bonds must be issued, because we haven't enough money without it. Some people complain that this would increase taxes so much that they already have more taxes than they can pay. Please let us say that we think education should come first. The amount of increase of taxes has been figured up and found, that, paying the interest on the entire bond issue and retiring the whole amount in not less than fifteen and no more than thirty years, wilt be only sixteen and two thirds (16-j) cents more on the $100 valuation more than we now pay. After the increase, the tax will be only 50c on the $100. We have also heard that some one said that the old debt ought to be paid off first. We would like to tell you that the present debt is only thirty-five hundred dollars ($3, 500), and this includes the new healing plant, installed two years ago. This, as you all know, is a very small amount for a school dis drict to owe. Voters and tax-payers this is what we ask you for. OUR NEEDS. "We need a new high school, A big one at that With a very fine "gym," ( Which keeps down the fat). With lots of space and big airy rooms So you can detect The science fumes With a chapel that's big With plenty of space, So those in the back Can see the speaker's face. With yards and grounds For out-door sports So that we can have Our basket ball courts. All this we need And very much more As you, perhaps, Have heard before. Then vote for the school bonds Sir, like a man And give us the very best School that you can." ATTENTION DAUOHTERS. The Junius Daniel Chapter U, D. C, will hold the regular meet ing with Mrs. J. A. Johnston on Wednesday, May 3- Let every member try to be present hear the reports from the District meeting held in Scotland Neck, April 20. Mks. J. A. Musgkove, Sec.
