C, THURSDAY, DEC. 2. 1909. $1.00 PER YEAR, IN ADVANCE ART EXHIBIT AND EAZAAR. n 9 1 Beginning at noon of Thanks giving Day, and extending through Saturday dinner, the Womau's League held an Art Exhibit and Bazaar in the lo cal Opera House. This organization is composed of the most of the women of the town and community, and is somewhat of a combination of the Woman's Betterment Asso ciation and the Civic League. The organization was effected a few weeks ago, and has as its immediate object the furnishing of the Graded Schools with suit able works of art and piano and the improvement and beautify ing of the school grounds. How ever, the efforts of the League will not be confined to the im provement of the Graded Schools, but will extend to everything contemplated in the organization of the Civic League. The purpose of the Art Ex hibit and Bazaar was to raise sufficient money to purchase pic tures for the Graded School rooms and a piano. A magnificent Thanksgiving dinner was served Thursday and meals were served on through Saturday dinner. The good la dies had all been busy for days with their needles and had con tributed many beautiful and tasty articles of faicy work which were sold during the ba aar. The Art Exhibit was a feature. A handsome collection of choice pieces of art were on all sides of the hall and remained on display throughout three days, furnishing to the many visitors an opportunity to examine the finest collection of pictures that has ever been on display in Lau rinburg. Entertainment in the way of music, vocal and instru mental, was furnished .Friday night by several of the talented young people of the community. Miss Myra Parks, of Gibson, di rectress of the Laurinburg Or chestra, rendered two charming selections on the violin. Alto gether, the pleasures of the Ba zaar were many and the whole thing was a success. The League made a net profit of a little more than three hun dred and twenty-five dollars, and this money will be spent along he line suggested above. One hundred dollars will be spent in the purchase of pictures for the Graded Schools and the balance will go into a piano. Between now- and Spring means will be devised for raising sufficient money to improve and beautify the school grounds. As soon as the new school building is com pleted it is intended by the League to give a concert in the new Auditorium in which the school children will take a prom inent part. N The new graded school build ing is now rapidly being pushed to completion. The Auditorium will be furnished with about four hundred chairs. It has a seating capacity of about 470, -while the stage will seat about 150. SUPERIOR COURT. All kinds of preserves and jams at the store of McLaurin & Shaw.

About twelve hundred acres of Scotland county real estate were sold at the court house door in Laurinburg, Nov. 22d, at public sale, and the prices obtained speak well for the prosperity of the farmers of our county and the value of Scotland! county lands.

The following news item, ap pearing in the Fayetteville Ob server of Nov. 19, is of consider able interest to our readers: "We bear good news to Fay etteville people this afternoon, J. W. Carter, of Maxton, and J. A. Jones, of Laurinburg, are to establish a big supply house hsre, and have already secured an op tion for the lease of and subse quent purchase of the splendid Lilly building on Hay street with this object in view. Mr. Carter has made a wonderful success of hip. big supply establishment in Maxton, and on a recent visit here he was so impressed with Fayetteville, and the great and splendid territory thereto, that he at once began to formulate plans for coming to Fayetteville. With this in view he got Mr. Jones to associate himself with him, and wrhen the new firm i3 established it will be Carter & Jones. Mr. Jones, who is a son-in-law of Mr. John F. McNair, one of the State's richest men, is himself a successful business man. Both these gentlemen, who are among the South's most successful business men, will be. cordially welcomed to Fayette ville, "the best town of them all." Christmas only three weeks Fresh pork is on the bill of fare. Laurel Hill is well represented at court. Mr. Wm. L. Peele lost a good mule last week. Two marriages in Upper Wil liamson on Thanksgiving Day. It is reported that Wagram is slipping well up to the front. Near beer" for sale. J. J. Hill says that the great est problem that is now befoie the American people is "some thing to eat." Mr. Monroe, of the A. C. L., spent last Sunday in the Snead's Grove section. Very special business. Who killad the deer? It is often told that when a young man kills his first deer, he is so excited that his people have to sit up with him the following night. Now, as two or three different persons are reported as trying to claim that honor, and no one seems to know exactly who is the rightful claimant, we are in clined to pin our faith to "the ed itor." He went sick. The Cow and the Jug. One of our close observing friends of Richmond Mills noticed that of ten in passing a certain piece of road he would meet persons who walke4Jilja-friendJ.ys(prt-OJC..way,. Out he could not at fir3t locate the cause, but just at this point he noticed a cow over in the field with a jug tied to her. Some thing new. Is that cow a re tailer? Is she a portable blind tiger or a block&der? Mr. S. A. Snead has nearly completed the new addition to his dwelling, and painter Kelly is now on the scene with his paint brush. The bird hunter is abroad in the land and is making the wel kin ring with his gun. It is for tunate that they are such poor shots. If they killed a bird at every shot there would soon be no birds left to tell the tale. CONFERENCE APPOINTMENTS.
