AN APPRECIATION
Agreeable to a promise, made by
me, i am writing’this testimonial of
my o]d friend, Joseph K. Perry, and
it gives me pleasure.to do so.
1 first knew' him .about six years
;ago, in .a business transaction, and
was s6 impressed by .his deportment,
•that I topic a special regard for him.
About, two years ago, when he was
iaucidently jnjured, f began to visit
thim, and the regard I had formed for
.him deepened, and as I think of him,
my memory reverts to the reading
some twenty years ago, ,of a book
called "The Qld Gentleman of the
Black Stock,'’’ for he so carried out
the .description of The Old Gentle
man, in his courtly mien. lys gentle
right, Jbis high opinion of woman,
and Ids otheif goad qualities that my
mind puts him in the same class.
One of the pleasures of my life
was the visits I paid him, for he was
one of the most appreciative men I
have eyer wet, and his salutation
“Come in Joseph,” jgiven with a
smile on his face, touched this old
heart of mine deeply, for only three
persons in my life call me “Joseph.
At times when we met he would
be ready for fun and he entered into
it with keen enjoyment, and another
would talk such things as,touched the
soul, and belonged to things eternal,
and I feel sure that he has gone into
that land where “The day breaks and
the shadows flee away,” for truly he
could say, “I wait for the Lord, my
soul doth wait, and in His word is
my hope.”
Yours Very Truly,
• Joseph D. Smith,

MRS. BARRINGER
DIED TUESDAY,
Beloved and Esteemed Woman
Passes At Home of Son Paul
J, Barringer Here.
After bravely battling the ravages
of declining health, a condition 'which
beset her a few months ago, Mrs.
Mary Barringer died about 7 o’clock
Tuesday evening at the home of her
son, Paul J. Barringer, on Chisholm
Street. Though worn by constant ill
ness, Mrs. Barringer retained her
usual cheerful disposition and it was
not until her condition became grave
a week ago that her loved ones real
ized the end was near.
Mrs. Barringer was a daughter of 1
the late John and Mary Womble ot
Chatham county, and was born there
on October 4, 1856. Her people were
of the sturdy citizenry who early set
tled in that portion of the State and
became pioneers in its develpoment.
Her father joined the forces of the
South at the outbreak of the Civil
War and followed loyally the fortunes
bf' the Southland until slain while in
the thick of battle. Mrs. Barringers
early years were attended by the
hardships and privations that became
-the universal lot of the Southern peo-%
pie and she often recalled these early
inqaressions.
i While a young woman she was
united in marriage to Jcirn -Barringer,
-a native of Germany, with whom -she
lived many happy years until the lat
her’s death in 1902. M the harly age
of fifteen Mrs. Barringer began to
take an interest in church affairs and
joined the Moncure Methodist church
an affiliation that lasted throughout
her remaining years—a period of al
most sixty years. During these many
years she was a loyal and devoted
member, taking a deep and abiding
interest in all matters pertaining to
the Welfare of the church and the
strengthening ol its miiuen-ce in uie
community in which she lived. She
also manifested a strong attachment
to Sunday school work and for twenty
eight years taught a class. In recog
nition of her long years of loving ser
vice an organization bearing her
name—the Mary Barringer Mission
ary Soceaty—was founded by members
of her church and in the promotion
of the purpose for which this society
was founded she, too, became a loyal
worker.
Mrs. .tsarringer was a won: .1 ui
education and refinement, pc ssing
many fine traits of character a .d had
a host of friends here yyho jOiii the
family in lamenting het death.

MOOSE BANQUET
LAST THURSDAY
FULL OF COLOR
Annual Gathering of Moose Is
Featured By Much Brilliance
and Humor.
MANY ARE IN ATTENDANCE
“Lodge Night,” A Fictitious
Meeting of Local Order
Incites Peals of
Laughter
Scintillating humor, flashing of wit
and outcroppings of eloquence char
acterized the Moose banquet 'which
brought to a dose last Thursday night
the annual meeting of Enoca Legion
No. 69 of the Loyal Order of Moose.
This briliant affair, the climax of
all annual gatherings of this Order,
was held in the assembly room of the
Wilrik Hotel.
Promptly at 7:30 the Moose, their
wives and guests, numbering almost
two hundred, filed . in the immense
assembly room which through the co
operation of the hotel manager, Mr.
Barrow, himself a Moose, had been
colorfully and artistically arranged to
suit the occasion, and seated them
selves at the spacious tables on which
covers had been laid for the bounti
ful occasion. The toastmaster for the
occasion was Great North .Moore, A.
H. Mclver, a prominent Sanford busi
ness man who holds the highest posi
tion within the gift of Enoca Legion
No. 69.
Frior to tne oanquet an uivucawwu
was rendered by R. W. Vick; this be
ing followed by a tribute to the late
T. U. Gunter, an outstanding member
of the Order and whose untimely
death three weeks ago removed his
name from the program where he had
been placed as toastmaster. One to
the most genial and entertaining
toastmasters in the State, Mr. Gunter
was sorely missed at this meeting.
For on'b hioment the gathering stood
and halved in respectful silence to the
memory) of- this good man.
“Lodge'Night” a somewhat realis
tic yet a thoroughly ludicrous pre
sentation of the “doings” that are
supposed to transpire in the average
lodge meeting in Which the producers
sought to depict for the gathering a
typical Sanford Moose meet, sent the
banqueteers into spasms of laughter.
This interesting comedy was present
ed by Jimmie Mclver, Paul Lucas,
.Basil Byerly and L. E. Warrick.
Later, another comedy, “Regular Ini
tiation” was given by Messrs. Mclver
and Warrick. This, too, brought forth
tleman, with the dainty underlings of
howls of laughter from the Moose
id their guest*- when a.>®otimd sreti

the room to the other and back?
The meeting then turned to a more
serious turn when G. L. Parker, of
Wilson, delivered an‘ address on
“Why the Legion?” This, he stated,
is an auxiliary whose purpose is to
further and to aid the Moose in their
work and ideals. It exists, he added,
to serve and strengthen the Moose,
to care for Mooseheart and Moose
haven.' ^
The membership cup, awarded to
the lodge which makes the greatest
progress in membership during the
year, was awarded the Sanford
Lodge, the presentation being made
by Edgar Womble., of Raleigh.
