Here and there, all over the grounds, were spread most inviting dainties, which were sur rounded bv happy, hungry groups. The News Reporter man had not been able to render much service in the preceding features of the day, but in this special feature, he acted well his part, and his only regret is that he was not possessed of suffi cient catjacitv to have accented the 1 ' - - M. hospitality of all his friends, who so kindly extended to him invitations to dine with them.

Despite the heavy rains people from all over Tatums township began to come into Evergreen on Friday, October th 3rd, to attend the second Annual Community Fair. By eleven o'clock the crowd had reached between eight or nine hundred. All happy and smiling. Last year we had only exhibits from a few people. This year peo ple from over the township brought in articles. Our county demonstration agent, Miss Lankford, said she thought our annual exhibit better this year than last year. We had variety as well as beauty. Farm products were exceedingly good for the bad crop year,through this section We haven't forgotten that wc help ed to win the State pi'izes for old Columbus countv last year. And we ent many things this time, too. Bring it back again. After the pies, cakes, etc., were judged, they were passed over to the bootli belonging o the Woman's Club when we had lots of other eood things to eat and sold for the benefit of our handsome school. It has been suggested we put it into a curtain for the audi torium. Most of the prize money was turn ed over to the president to help de fray expenses. Next year we are to have differ ent arrangements. We are going to carry it on move like a real fair. Come help us boost Evergreen! Prize Winners Mrs. J. P. Floyd, biscuits, 50c.

You will have the opportunity this year to hear a man who has been, and is, a dynamic force in the profession, Maj. W. A. Graham of Wilmington. The rest of the program will be informal, but also very beneficial. We will have one session only whether we are through or not. The meeting will certainly be helped greatly, if you arrive before 10 o'clock, the opening hour. The law allows you to receive pay for this day as if you were in schoo and requires attendance, unless pro videntially hindered. Read each issue of this paper from now until then and inquire of your teacher-neighbor if he or she has gotten a letter regarding the same (especially if you fail to get yours), Letters should reach each teacher within five days or less. Wirite about things you wish taken up at meeting. Get names of con testants in for the Fair contests of all kinds. Major Graham was the first Ame rican officer to lead his forces through the Hindenburg line. You cannot afford to miss hearing him. Respectfeully, J. H. McIVER. Co. Supt. of Ed.

Todd, better known as "Ned," a highly respected farmer, who resided about one and a half miles east of here, died last Sat urday night, at 11 o'clock. Mr. Todd was about 60 years of age and his death resulted from heart dropsy. In his death the community loses an industi-ious, and peaceable citi zen and a good neighbor. He !s sur vived by his wife, one sister, two sons, a daughter-in-law and one grand-son, and a large circle of friends. The funeral services were held at Mount Sinai Missionary Bap- list church where he held his mem bership, at 11 o'clock Tuesday morn ing by his pastor, Rev. P. B. Coats, and the interment made in the beau tiful cemetery near the church. Mr. Ralph Bullock, who holds a responsible position with the A. C. L. spent his vacation last week with relatives in this section. The fourth quarterly conference of the Old Dock circuit will be held at Lebanon Methodist church Thurs day, October 17th, by Presiding El der J. M. Daniel. This round com pletes Mr. Daniel's fourth year as presiding elder of Wilmington dis trict, and he will be placed in charge of work elsewhere next year. During his four years eldership on this district, he has won the love of all with whom he has come in contact. Rev. George R. Hunt, pastor, as sisted by Rev. G. W. Stanley, of Al bemarle, is conducting a series of revival meetings at Gapway Bap tist church this week. Services are held at 10:30 a. m., and 4 p. m., daily. Rev. W. E. Hinson, Miss Eva Grainger and Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Frink attended the Sunday school anniversary at Hinson's Cross Roads church last Saturday. Mr. C. L. Harrelson is removing from his farm near here to White ville, where, it is learned, he will open a cafe. Much interest throughout this sec tion is centered on the trial of the Stewarts in Southport, for the mur der of Deputy Lily and Detective George a few weeks ago in Bruns wick county. It is hoped that all guilty parties in this heinous crime may be convicted and punished. Mr. J. J. Tyson left Monday morning to attend court in Wash ington, as a witness in a civil case in which some property near here i3 involved. The railroad company has resumed the purchase of crossties to be cut from different kinds of timber, among them gum. This industry furnishes employment to large num bers of people and is a great stimu lator to the mercantile business here. Mr. W. C. Gore, of Raeford, ar rived Friday night to spend a few days with relatives and friends and to look after business interests here about. He was accompanied by Mrs. Gore . Since the burning of the building near Bethel Methodist church occu pied by Frazier Ward, which wa3 reported in this column last week, Mr. Ward received a letter advising him where his household goods, on part of them, could be found. He accordingly set about hunting for the goods, and found several bun dles tied up in quilts at different places near the house that was burned and in the woods some dis tance away. There seems to be a mystery surrounding the burning of this house, which has not yet been understood. It is said that the building was fully insured.
