moncure news
(Crowded out last week)
Easter Sunday was an ideai day.
The sun shone brightly and every
thing was lovely, the weather was
neither cold nor hot. The trees put
ting on new leaves and spring flow
ers are blooming everywhere, in
■which we see and think of the pow
er of our Heavenly Father, who is
the creator of us all and everything.
A nice congregation gathered at
the Methodist church at 11 o’clock
to hear the Easter message preached
by Rev. C. L. Lance. His message
was appropriate indeed. Easter songs
were sung by the choir, and we were
favored by a solo by Sheriff S. W.
Womble, and everyone cafuld feel
the power of the Resurrection which
means life and light to those who
live right here in this world. Jesus
said, “Because I live, ye shall live
also.”
Easter Monday was also a nice
clay, but just a little cloudy. xMrs.
Mary Barringer had an egg hunt for
her large and nice class about ten
o’clock. The little folks are always
looking forward to the egg hunt on
Easter with great pleasure as Mrs.
Barringer gives them one every year.
Mrs. W. W. Stedman who is teach
er of the Intermediate class, took her
class on a picnic at “Hollow Rock”
on Mrs. Taylor’s farm on Deep River.
All rode in cars to Mrs. Taylor’s
home, then we hiked it carrying our
iunches with us. The stroll through
the woods, over the hills and down
the valleys was enjoyed very much.
Th,, daisies, violets, yellow' jasmines
and many other flowrers were in
bloom and everything w'as pretty in
deed and pleasing to the eye, which
added much to our stroll. After
reaching thp rock, the class went 1
kodaking, pictures were taken stand
ing on rocks in the river and other
pictures were taken of the class on
the “Hollow Rock” and other suitable
places wherever we went.
Dinner wa§ spread on the bank of
the liver and everyone enjoyed it
to the fullest extent. After which
an ego- hunt was enjoyed by all.
Then we hiked by Mrs. Taylor's
home where we enjoyed a short stay
with her, reaching Moncure about
3:30.
Several from thp Baptist Sunday
school. Miss Lillie Hackney and oth
ers started out for “Hollow Rock”
in cars, after going a mile they got
out of gas and some got stuck. Two
of the children got separted from
the others and they spent much time
in huntino- them. They never reach
ed “Hollow Rock” but returned to
Mrs. Taylor’s where they enjoyed a
lunch and an egg hunt after an
hour or two of anxiety. We were
sorry indeed that they did not reach
“Hollow Rock to enioy the picnic,
but we were glad that Mr. .J. J.
Hackney, Mr. W. F. Watson and Mr.
William Strickland reached “Hollow j
Rock” and enjoyed the picnic.

COMPLIMENTS SHERIFF BLAIR
In a recent article of the Sanford
Express gave an interesting and de
tailed account of how r Government
Narcotic Agents got a tip of hun
dreds of dollars worth of narcotics
being shipped by mail to certain boot
leggers at Sanford. It took some
time and a lot of planning- and de
vising to trap the offenders who
were sharp and elusive. The writer
of th P article closed by saying that
when Uncle Sam once gets on the
trail of law breakers he is “as re
lentless as Sheriff Blair of Chatham
county.”
Chatham is as noted for rearing
real men as it is for raising the
lowly bunny. It seems however, that
a majority of them cast their lots
in larger centers of activity than
Chatham has to effer. Fortunately
there are a few exceptions and one
of the outstanding ones is. our ef
ficient Sheriff. More and more does
he become the standard by which
other Sheriffs are measured.
Sheriff Blair well deserves the tri
bute. He is a man of the highest
integrity, indomitable determination
rare energy and persistence. He or
iginated from som p of Chatham’s
best people and has spent his entire
life here in various lines of activity
and his integrity is unreproachable.
