Pleasant, Cedar Grove, Bynum and Mann's Chapel Meth odist churches, thev having uni ted in a union service at Mt. Pleasant, pertaining to the Chris tian education movement. The meeting was a great suc cess. A goodly representation from all the churches was pres ent and everyone, seemed to en ter into the real spirit of the oc casion and were enthusiastic. This meeting continued through out the day, dinner being served on the ground, and it was a time of pleasantry for s everyone and greetings among friends, the spirit of fellowship running high. The dinner served was one that would suit the most fastidious and was in abundance. The three addresses were time ly and to the point, the question of Christian education being pre sented from three standpoints, that of the lawyer, the educator and the preacher. Mr. Williams made the address from the stand point of the 'lawyer, Prof. Reid Thompson as the educator and Rev; S. E. Mercer as the min ister.

Beginning the- first week in August, there will be a tonsif and adenoid clinic held at Siler City by the state board of health for the school children of Chat ham county from the ages of 6 to 12 in clusive. It will cost the parents who are able to pav the nominal fee of $12.50. and absolutely free for those who are unable to pay. Every parent will be notified by letter about a month before the clinic is1x beheld, and are turn postal will be enclosed for every parent, who wish to have their children treated during this time, to return it to the state board of health at Ealeigh, and then they will be notified just what day to bring their children. A temporary hospital will be equip ped by the state board of health at Si ler City. One of the state's best throat specialists will be engaged to do the operations. A corps of the state's best nurses will be there to assist Miss Ramie E. Williams, the county nurse, in caring for the children.

SOME COLD, FROSTY WEATHER A Big Frost in May That Killed All Fruit and Destroyed Trees The past winter and spring was a mixture of told and mild weather. There has not been such st winter and spring seen like the past two seasons in years, if ever. - January of this year was comparatively mild. So was March, but April sat down in the lap of winter and tried to show herself, especially the last few days of the month. For a week or ten days the weather was dis agreeable and cold, the 30th winding up with . cold northeast winds, threatening snow and ice. Perhaps the memory of t some of the old citizens of Chatham county can go back to the spring of 1868 or 1869.: An old citizen was telling the writer a few days ago about some nasty weather. He said it was either in April, 1868, or 1869, (he was not cer tain) that he and his father were finishing chopping, corn, and it was on Saturday, the 30th. The clouds were thick and heavy, and it was real cold. Sunday morn ing, May 1st, the biggest frost heever saw covered the earth, and there was plenty of ice. All garden truck was literally ruin ed, and even the limbs on th big trees were killed by the frost, and for days the dead leaves ap peared to be in mourning, creat ing a great stench. This gentle man said that the last day of April and the first of May this year reminded him of the two frosty days "back yonder,' ' and that he had never forgotten how everything looked then. Names of Soldiers Winnie Davis chapter daugh ters of Conferacy is anxious to have a complete roster of all old confederate soldiers in Chatham county, and if the citizens resid ing in the several townships will s-end them to Mrs. H. A. London, it will be anpreciated. In this manner a complete list can be obtained. They have practically all ot them, but only by your help can the-' list be made complete. CHATHAM CO. LEADS STATE Our People Patronize the Community Pictures ' - - Much Better It is exceedingly gratifying to our people to learn that Chatham county has made a record in the state of North Carolina as a lead er, in the patronage of the community- pictures. During the month of April there .were more than 3,000 who attended these presentations at only 22 gather ings, a great deal more than any other county in the state can show. Miss Lawley will be here again tonight and the; pictures will be shown in the school auditorium, owinj? to the fact that court is in session. However, at a later date the plays will be given in the courthouse. This afternoon at 4 o'clock Miss Lawley will meet the children of the town on the school house ground? for the usual afternoon frolic. The county school extension of this county is planning a com munity sing in connection with the next meeting, June 2, to be held in Pittsboro. Mr. John A. Parks, of Raleigh, qaite well known as a musical director, will be here in charge of the occa- INTEREST ON LIE8RTY BONDS Amount Paid to Purchase ers orrMay 15 Exceed ed $4,000,000 Interest amounting to more than $560, -000 was paid May 15 to holders of Lib erty bonds of the second issue bought through North Carolina banks and trust tompanies. The total amount of bonds of this issue subscribed in this state was $28,025,950, there being over 56, 162 subscriptions. The per capita sub scription was $11.70. The four per cent bonds of the first and second Liberty loans which were issued in temporary form have no cou pons attached for interest payable af ter December 15, 1919, for the first loan and November 15, 1919, for the second loan. Therefore, holders of the bonds are urged to present them to their lo cal banks which will forward them to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond for conversion into permanent four and one-quarter per cent bonds with cou pons attached covering interest from the above dates to the maturity of the bonds. In this federal roserve district th n in terest paid May 15 on the second Lib erty loan was in excess of $4,000,000, and a treasury department statement suggests that as much of this money as practicable be reinvested in govern ment savings securities. In the dis trict, the records show, the total sub scription to the second Liberty loan was $201,212,500, there having been 454,002 individual subscriptions. The per capita subscription, that is, the av erage amount bought 'by eyry person ni av 'kv-kj A ; in 4-V A iliofwit (POO AO ouii, aim a spiciiuju program i " u,o'-i'i was ,.uo. being prepared. It is hoped that this event can be made county wide so that people from every section will be present to take part.

He was sentenced to hang but on the day of execution Sher iff Grant forgot it and Governor Parker commuted his sentence to life imprisonment, therefore Lonnie will live out his allotted time and this will be the last chapter in what is considered the most remarkable case in court annals. ' Terrible Tornado A tornado passing through por tions of Robeson, Sampson and zigzagging from Roseboro to the Wayne county line, last Friday, did thousands of dollars worth of damage and resulted in the death of three people in addition ill "! n to tne painiui injuries oi many others. - ' ' Near Clinton, in Newton Grove township, the storm dipped down and cleared a two-hundred yard zone oi timber ana nouses, m which descent it flindered the home of officer McCullen, bury ing him and his wife 35 yards awTay under debris, Killing them both almost instantly. At Rose boro a colored man was-so in jured that he died later. A cow tied ts a stake was lost and up to : Monday had never been located.. In Sampson it also destroyed a church and an Odd Fellows lodge, many homes also being completely wrecked. Aftermath As stated last week that we would do so,further mention of memorial day exercises will be to give a brief outline of the gen eral procedure of the program.

The confederate veterans, and boy scouts were in the parade that accompanied Hon. R. O. Everett to the courthouse. Rev. Jonas Barclay asked a blessing before the dinner wTas begun and Rev. W. R. Waff led in prayer before the ceremonies were begun after the dinner was served. James L. Griffin, as master of ceremon ies, conducted the program to the finish on behalf of Winnie Davis chapter daughters of the confed eracy. To begin the services the large audience in the court house sang, How Firm a Foundation, after which the daughters sang, Stars and Bars Will Live For- ever, anu alter tne speecn a quartette, consisting of Mrs. Henry A.

Mrs. Henry A.

Then the veterans offered a resolution DROPPED BEAD IN DURHAM Formic Chatham Citizen Dies While Talking to Man at Postoff ice - " ' : ( While standing; on the postof fice steps in Durham, talking to Dr. H.
