Orpltaas Give Eicelleot Entertain- mem-Betterment Worn-School Attendance Good- Last Friday evening: the Jun ior Epworth League had a social meeting at the home of Mrs. W. B. North. Mrs. Adams of Asheville, who nas been visiting Mrs. J. L Lis ter, has returned to her home. Mr. John Williams of Warsaw, N. C, was a guest in the home of Mrs. A. E. Bowers this week. Mr. E. J. Gay has just return ed from his spring trip to Balti more. Mrs. J. T. Flythe has had as her guests since last Wednesday, MisseB Agnes Flythe and Daisy Earnhardt of Conway. Upon adjournment of the Leg islature March 12th, Mr. C. G. Peebles of the Senate returned to Jackson. The play, "The Country Doc tor," which was given with great success at Rich Square last week, will be presented here in the au ditorium on the evening of March 28th. It is with regret that the many friends of Miss Elise Kinstrv learn that she will not be in Jack son for the coming season. Her former position as head of the millinery department of E. S, Bowers & Co. will be filled by Mrs. Cook of Richmond. Messrs. G. E. Midyette and C G. Peebles went to Goldsboro this week. They will attend Hal if ax court before returning. Easter week promises to 'be very attractive in social life here. Our people always look for ward with pleasure to the annual concert given' by the singing class of the Oxford Orphanage, and knew what awaited them at the auditorium on Saturday even ing. Notwithstanding the un favorable weather, a large audi ence greeted the children. They gave us an excellent entertain ment. The Sunday School of the Epis copal Church will have its annual "Easter-egg hunt" on JEaster Monday at 4 P. M. The children wish to extend a cordial invita tion to their little friends of the Baptist and Methodist Sunday Schools. The program at the meeting of the Epworth League last Tues day evening was unusually well rendered. The League holds an important place in the Jife of our community. Rev. Francis Jovner filled his appointment at morning and evening services in "The Church of the Saviour" last Sunday. He was the guest of Dr.H. W. Lew is while here. The singing class of the Or phanage, who remained with U9 until Monday, assisted in the music at the Sunday morning service at the Baptist church. The pulpit was again ablv filled bv Rev. Paul Bowers of Little ton. ; ' : ., Several citizens braved the weather on last Friday and were at the school auditorium at the appointed hour for the meeting of the Betterment Association. It has been the hope of those en rolled as members to have a full attendance' of all interested in the future of our school and town before1 making definite plans for the development of the asso ciation, but as , the weather has given no opportunity for this at the appointed dates of meeting, this is still left for the future to care for. How ever, lest' the opportunity in "smalt beginnings" be overlook- ed, we took advantage of this representation: where a few in terested ones are gathered, re sults are sure to be forthcoming, so at the informal meeting sever al questions discussed were fol lowed bv active plans. The first work to be undertaken in the name of the association is the improvement of the school grounds and this necessitates at least a temporary enclosure, as we don't look for the "stock aw" at once. We are sure of the co-operation of every mem ber and we feel certain the many who have not had opportunity to j )in us are as mucn interested. Any one who would like to con tribute to this work can perhaps most conveniently do so through the Treasurer. Miss Helen Grant. Also, those who wish to be en rolled as members may give their names to Miss Grant, as it may rain on Friday, March 28th, the date for which the next meeting is called. The enrollment of the Jackson Graded School is greater this year than at any time in its his tory, and it is noticeable that the "falling-off" usual at this Beason has affected the school in a very small degree the number being only ten less than when at the maximum. It is a gratification to the town people to note that the high school department has not lost a nupil. It is through those who stay in the school and complete the work assigned that the standard of the school , is maintained. These girls and boys show interest in their work and a pride in their school and we hope the principal may have an assistant in the High School work, that the pupils completing the 9th grade this session may be able to remain in the school through the 10th and 11th grades lo Hemorlam. On Sunday morning, March 9, 1913, as the bells were ringing for church, the soul of Mrs. Rase Faison took its flight to the spirit world. She had been in feeble health for about ten vears, but had been confined to her bed only about a week, when the sum mons came to lay down the bur den of suffering and be at rest Mrs. Faison was Miss Anderson, and was born at Winton, N. C, in April, 1840. She married Mr. J. W. Faison of Northampton county, who preceded her to the grave exactly 22 years ago. When young she gave her heart to Jesus and united with the Methodist Episcopal church, of which she was a consistent communicant and faithful atten dant until she became too feeble to attend the services. She was a woman of a sweet, lovable dis positiongentle in manner, mild in temper, of a forgiving spirit that held no malice. Wherever there was sickness, there she would be found, giving her ser vices freely; so we feel sure th? Savior will say to her, 'Come, ye blessed, I was sick, and ye visited Me." On March 10, a large crowd gathered at the home to attend the funeral services. The solemn and inspiring service with the church commits her dead to God's keeping, was read bv tier pastor, Rev. Mr. Jackson. The hymns sung were, "My faith looks up to Thee," "Asleeo in Jesus, "and "Abide with me," the last being sung at the grave. Then, with hearts saddened by The thought of death, yet uplifted by the thought of the Resurrection, we turned away.and left her to rest, "until the day breaks and the shadows flee awav." "AMeep in Jesus, peaceful rest. Whose waking is supremely blest; No fear, no woe shall dim that hour. That manifests the Savior' power. ' A Friend. . GUNWAY LOCALS.

The ser mon was eloquent and his prayer seemed to cover the whole human life, encircling the globe several times. ' After services one of the dea cons asked the old darkey what he thought of the new preacher. "Don't you think he oners up a good prayer, Sam?" "He mo' suhtainly do that boss. Dat man asked de good Lord fo' things dat de odder preacher didn't even know de Lord had." "-Chicago Kecord-Herald. woodland flews. Mr. E. G.

Worry consists of borrowing trouble from the future. This is one sort of borrowing in which every one has unlimited credit The supply of worry in the world is inexhaustible and it is free to uybcdy.rKieorge Fifth. , : PREACHING HAPPINESS. (Inbapplness and Wrongs Exist, But Why Not Get Into the Sunlight and See the Good as Jtfell. Why would it not be a good idea for our newspapers to try their hand at preaching happi ness for a while? Unhappiness and wronsrs, poverty, crime and selfishness exist and cannot be ignored, and many evils have been remedied by exploiting them, but why not let us see the other side of the shield once in a while? Evils must be attacked and wrongdoers must be punish ed, but the good in the world should not be forgotten. It will be a bad bargain if in trying to reduce the cost of livinsr we kill the joy of it. The country is in danger of getting ir.io t.-je dold rums; ic needs to get out into the sunlight and fresh air, and our newspapers should lead tne way. We live in a great axe and in a glorious country, millions on mil lions of men and women live con tentedly and peacefully and find plenty of good in their lives, the world is full of happineas. Why can not our newspapers enter on a cruf ade to teach this and preach t and make their readers see truly the value and beauty of their heritage of life? There is danger of our growing astigma ticthe newspapers should fit us with new glasses. The Publish ers' Guide. District Teachers' Meeting.
