Commencement Annooncements--; Marriage at Gomberry-Farm Work-General News. 1 Mrs. James R. Bradley return ed last Thursday from a few davs' visit to her sisters, Mts dames James Taylor and ' John nie Johnson, Gumberry, V A great many of our farmers have finished planting corn and not a few have much of their cotton crop planted. Lack of rain has rendered the ground so bard that plowing is hard on both man and beast. Rev; Lloyd Parker, who was prevented from filling his March appointment at ' the Baptist church here, by the critical ill- rnesa of bis father, met with his flock the past Saturday and Sun day and delivered a sermon of great power on ' "Forgi veness" Sunday morning. Bro. Parker's three years' pastorate here be speaks for him a career of great usefulness in the Master's work. He preaches the Gospel in a sim ple manner and the people flock to hear him. Mr. John R. Stephenson, Wil mington, and his brother, Grover, Franklin, Va., were welcome guests of their sister, Mrs R. M Maddrey, the past Saturday night They left on No. 41 Sunday morn ing for a visit to another Bister, Mrs. R. F. Barnes, Gumberry. , Mr. and Mi's. Green F. Gav were summoned, very suddenly, Saturday to the bedside- of her brother, Rev. Paul Bowers. We have since learned that B.o. Bowers is suffering with appen dicitis and will be taken to a hos pital for an operation at an early date. His friends here will fol low him with their prayers. We hear of many' chiQs in the country and not a few here in town. The latest victims here are Messrs. Bailev Maddrey, , El liott .Harris and little sister. Alice Harris. The former has been too ! sick to attend school this week. Severn commencement was well . attended by Seaboardiana last week- Ths program was well arranged and highly enjoyed. Praises are on the lips of all who were fortunate enough to be in attendance. Our S9vern folks never do anything by halves. A marriage of more than usual interest to our people will be sol emnized at Gumberry on Wed nesday' A. M, the 23rd.. when Eva, the popular and accomplish ed daughter of Mrs. Johnnie Johnson, will wed Mr. Herbert Browne of Henderson. The happy young ouple will leave on No. 41 for an extended bridal tour, including Niagara Falls, New York. On their return they will make their home in Henderson, where the fortunate groom holds a position with the S. A. L. rail- : road. Mr. Brown is to be con-j gratulated on winning the affec-J tions of this splendid youtg worn- an. May good luck and happi-1 ness follow them all through life, 'I Rev. Lloyd Parker conducted chapel services , in the High School auditorium Monday morn ing. His timely advice and words of encouragement sweetened the' day's work for both faculty and students. Mr. and Mrs. E. A Hoggins, , Mrs. J. F. Shoulars and Mrs. H. T.. Wade of Rich Sqaare spent a while in our town Friday, es teemed guests of Prof, and Mrs. vVare. These good people stijll j appreciate the character of the work done by these tireless teach ers while Prof. Ware was princi pal of Rich Square High School, j Tnenare faculty of Seaboard- State High School have been en tertained recently in the follow ing homes: Menwa. J.G. L. Crock er's and M. F. Long's. The even ings were mutually enjoyed and bed time came much too Roon. : As an evidence of the esteem in which Seaboard State High School faculty are held by their numerous patrons her the school board has tendered each their same position at an increased salary for next session. Three of th five have decided to re turn while the remaining two are as yet undecided. No High School in the county has had a stronger working team. Our peo ple appreciate the good work ac complished and have no desire to let one of them leave. We hope to be ab'e to report at commence ment that the entire faculty will return and be ready for the beet session ever next September, Perhaps it will not be premature to add that our school has grown so in the pa8t few months that the need of the sixth teacher isJ imperative and will be added next session. The closing exercises of Sea board State High' School will be gin on May 8th.. at 11 o'clock A. M. The first thing on the program will be a chorus by the. school. Then the graduating ex! ercises will follow. The class C(nf sists of three bright young men, Messrs. Dean Crocker, Kindred and Robert Long and one studi ous -young woman, Miss Edna; Long. The essays of these grad uates rill be worth going a loasr way to hear. The address of Hi. N. W. Walker, State Inspectdr of High Schools, wiJULbe the next number on the program. .Or.- Walker is a very pleasing as well as instructive speaker and all who come may expect a rare treat. The morning exercises be ing over, everybody will be cor dially invited to partake of a bounteous public dinner which will ba provided by all friends and patrons who are here -re minded to bring a well tided bas ket. A game of ball will be the feature of the afternoon. The Intermediate and Primary grades will entertain Thursday evening, exercises to begin promptly at 8 o'clock. On Friday evening the High School pupils will be at their best. Surely you can not afford to miss the good things that are being daily rehearsed for your enjoyment as well as your edification. We expect the largest crowd ever in the history of the school, A hearty welcome to our school and homes will be accorded everybody. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Worrell of the Pruden Spring vicinity were called upon to mourn the death of their young son,1 Ryland, the past Thursday. He was twelve yeare old. Kyland had been sick since last Thanksgiving, but did not give up entirely until fiye weeks ago. He suffered greatly but was patient and good, be lieving it a sin to complain at God's will. . He was a fine boy, filled his mission qiiicklv and passed to his reward. He was baptized into tta fellowship of Mt. Carmel Baotist church last year, but attended Sunday School at Pruden Springs., His teacher offered a prize to the scholar that should memorize most Scripture during the year, this bright lad won the prize.' ' He never missed Sunday School when able to at tend. All remedies failed and his parents are left to weep over the separation. The burial ser vice was read by Mr. J.T. Long, after which his body was laid to. rest in the burying ground at the home of Mr. Peter Spencer. May the Lord bind up the broken hearts and comfort the bereaved as He only can. -- KELfOXO NEWS. Toe Railroads Considerate ol Toe Town Every Child of School Age In Sctnol. From the amount of building activities going on at Kelfordit wou'd seem that the town is making pretty substantial prog ress. The town convention was held on Tuesday evening April 15th, and the nominations were C.L.L. Cobb, for Mayor; W. P. HarreU. K. 0. Hall, and Paul Leicester for Commissioners,' and H. C. Stephenson for Constable We learn with much pleasure that the Atlantic Coast Line will in the near future make such im provements along its tracks as to give the town sufficient and proper drainage. The Coast Line has been particularly nice to Kel ford and has done much for the benefit and convenience of the place, also the Seaboard Air Line has been very considerate of the welfare of Kelford and has provided suitable depot fa cilities and we understand that its business has greatly increas ea. we nave neara tnat tne Dus- iness of the Seaboard Air Line is more per month than both roads did twenty years ago, and that increa8ed nearly ten-fold. This speaks well for the advan tages of Kelford and we believe that the next ten years will show equal if not better results. Prof, R. J. Lough, Principal of Kelford's Graded School, has tendered his' resignation to the School Board and will go to Hick ory, Va. Prof. Lough has done 9 great and lasting work here during the past three years and the community is very loath to give him up. Kelford school.is considered one of the best" and most progressive schools in the County. From a small one room school building with one teacher and about twenty five per cent of the children of the district in school it has grown to a school with four departments and every child in the district in school.The honor for this great work rests first upon the shoulders of the school board in their untiring ef forts in providing a suitable building with modern conven iences. Then comes the teach ers in the following order, name ly: Mrs. J. H. Wilkins, Roxobel, N. C, Miss Virgie White. Cole rain, N. C. Miss Lillian Pope, Woodland, N. C. Mrs. Manly Mann, Wilmington, M. (J., nee Miss Cora Eagles of Tarboro, Miss Villa Montague, Coleraine, N. C. Miss Mary Burrus, Wan- chese, N.C , Miss Margie Spivey, Lewiston, N. C, with Prof. R. J. Lough heading the column. The work done by this . band of efficient teachers guided by the wise counsel of Prof. Lough, proves very 'conclusively that a compulsory school law is not needed in Kelford school district, at least for the present. Rev. John F. Cale filled his ap pointments here at the Baptist church Saturday and Sunday, and preached a most powerful sermon on Sunday. The Baraca Bible Class gave notice to its members that a bus iness meeting would be held Sun day. next. This was very grati fying news to the Philathe Class as a business meeting of the Baracas means something doing for the Philatheas. i v v Kelford's marriage bella have been idle for nearly three months However, before another month shall have passed the glad pen dulum will awing to and fro and th old bell will peal out the glad tidings of another victory for King Cupid, and two hearts that beat in lonely solitude a few ye tb ago will then beat as one in happy unison along the river of time. May their joys be many and their sorrows few. woodland News. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Vaughan of Murf reesboro were in town Sunday. A nurse from the Sarah Leigh Hospital arrived Monday to at tend Mr. C. W.

PROTECTION OF BINDS. Womeo Would Stop Wearing Feathers Torn From Birds II They Knew Ibe Suffering It Caused. The agitation for a law to pro hibit the importation into the United States of egrets or feath ers obtained from birds by meth ods of cruelty has itb origin in the same humanitarian sentiment that brought about the establish ment of the societies for the pre vention of cruelty to animals. It is not such a long time since the people of the world gave little consideration to the needless suf fering of animals. Enlightment has brought about a different at titude. Lord Curzon, "whose worst enemies would not accuse him of sentimentality," is urging a Jaw to prohibit the importation into England of humming birdB, birds of paradise, and egrets. Last year the sales were 41,000 bum ming birds, 20,700 birds of para dise, aid 129,000 egre's, describ ed by Lord Curzon as "the most beautiful and innocent things in the world, all slaughtered in an abominable traffic " Prefcidnt Wilam has recently issued an executive ordr impos ing heavv penalties for the de struction of birds of plumage in the Canal Zone, and Congress should follow his lead and pro vide in the new tariff bill against the egret traffic, which is based upon brutality of a hideous char acter. It has been charged that fash ionable women do not care what cruelty is practiced so long as they may gratify their vanity, but it is more consoling, as well as more logical to believe, with Mrs. Fisk e, who recently express ed her views on this subject, that Women wear egrets and birds of paradise and other unnecessary hat ornament simply because they do not know the horrors that attend tne procurement of such de corations. Women do not know that the egret is torn from tne living mother bird; they do not know that fre quently this living mutilated creature is tied to a shrub and propped up as a decoy for other egrets, and that frequently for days at a time., in this helpless condition, within sound of the call of i their starving young, these ' birds are gradually eaten to death by the red ants of the southern countries. The sympathy of a woman's heart is traditional. It Is absurd to say that women do not care what cruelty is practiced in or der to bedeck them. The truth of the matter is that all women, or nearly all, would stop wearing feathers torn from birds if they knew what suffering was caused to the helpless creatures. Women persist in the barbaric custom of wearing plumage dyed in blood pimply because they have not given any real thought to the, matter. Washington Post An Appreciation.
