The Democratic ladies of the town held a meeting at Hotel Divine Monday and organized or the purpore of raising funds for the purchase of a banner which the ladies of the county will present to the township White Supremacy club whicn casts the largest percentage - of the registered voters for the Democratic party. Mrs Jno A. Oates was made President, Mrs J. R. Fleming, Vice Presi dent, Mrs E. Lee, Treasurer and Miss Mayjne Oates, Secretary, of the meeting. ( Mrs L. J. Best, Mrs Jno C. Cox, Mrs J. D. Thompson, Mrs J. R. Fleming, and Miss Nettie Barnes were appointed a committee to solicit contributions. These ladies invite all the Democratic ladies in the county to join ' them in this work and will appreciate their efforts to help them get a nice banner. They want each township to be represented and have an interest in the banner. They propose to have the banner ahout 30 by 50 inches in size, made' of red and blue silk with erilt cord and frinse. On either side will be appropriate inscriptions in gold letters. Already quite a neat sum has been contributed and the banner will be ordered this week. Any contributions will be gratefully received. What is done must be done quick as they want the banner ready on the 15th to be presented to the party on that day, and they ask the ladies who are interested with them to send contributions as soon as possible to Mrs E. Lee, Dunn, N. C, who will be pleased to re ceipt for same. Surely a banner like this will oe, presented by the ladies who are very much interested in the welfare of our state and county, will stimulate every Democrat to work. Averasboro is going to try and get the banner. Let everv one of us work for that end. HOOD, ft DiM 4BalPPL DUNN, - - N. C. Prug Will Carry Harnett. Mr. Neil A.
