The young people of the Pres byterian churches of Chatham, Lee and Moore counties will hold a one-ay rally at Cameron church on June 24. The program is in part as follows: Devotional, Robert Russell, Jonesboro. Reports on young people's con- ferenee at peace, by Ruth Wil son. Hemn: Sam Dilling, Jackson Springs, and Evelyn Wicker, San- ford. Address, Rev. Neill Mclnnis, of Smithneld. Reports from each church rep resented. Picnic-luncheon. Address, Mr. Thos. B. Talbot, superintendent home missions, W. Lexington Presbytery, Ky. Statements by the president and treasurer of the young peo ple's league of Fayetteville pres byter v. The program will begin prompt lv at 10:30 o'clock. Mr. Malcolm Calhoun, Laurinburg, junior at Davidson, is president, and will preside. Miss Margaret John, Lumbridge, is secretary. Similar rallies will be held on the preceding days at Shiloh, Smithfleid and Lillington. All interested in young people s worK are invited to attend. A double pay-day for holders for liberty bonds fell due yester day when the semil-annual inter est on the first and fifth loans came due. In North Carolina the total subscription to the first loan was $9,413,000 and on this the interest will amount to more than $188,000. The total sub scription in this state to the vic torv loan was $27,269,056 and on this the semi-annual interest will be in excess of $540,000. It is suggested by tne United States treasury that if liberty bond interest be reinvested in government sayings securities the income yield on the original investment will be materially in creased. In this federal reserve district the amount subscribed to the first and victory loans exceeded $334,000,000. On this the inter est payment, due June 15, was more than $6,690,000.

He states that the snrinsr freezes caused heavy dam ages, but is optomistic as to the final rrrm as the farmers have never gotten blue and are mak ing every effort to produce enough for home consumption. He pre dicts a wheat crop of 75 per cent, with the total acreage as hereto fore, and the oat crop at 90 per cent of the usual crop, and the rye crop will be about 100 per cent. Prices are at normal wun prospects of a good market for the fall. Special to The Record. , Greensboro, June 13. --Miss I ran a Sledo-e. and Mr.G.

Close your eyes when a girl .ti J walks down the street with nara ly enough clothes on to make a tail for a kite. You can't expect a fellow to have prayer meeting thoughts. Dr. Pilkington is a forward looking man. He says he can see beyond that part ot a mail order ad. 'which reads, "Don't Send a Penny." While on a recent trip through an adjoming state Ed. Hinton snvs that the best thing he saw during the journey was a ticket back to Pittsboro. A young man well known in Pitt sboro. now living in Moncure, has fallen out with his girl at Merrv Oaks. He says she knows more about eyelids than she does stove lids. TTenrv Hatch says according to his way of thinking that it isn't a question whether skirts are worn long enough. He says when they are worn long enough they're too short to begin w.th. A wedding of much social in terest throughout North Caro lina was solemnized in St. John's Episcopal church in Fayetteville at 8:30 o'clock last Thursday evening when Miss Lucy London Anderson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Huske Anderson, and Thomas Myers Wooten, both of Fayetteville, were united in mar riage.
