ing held all over the territory
embraced in the Union and will
take the place of the regular

much good, no doubt, will rjtfult
from this missionary movetnent
We are sorry to learnt that
Mesdames Emmitt Boyd and
Charley Matthews are quite ill
at their homes in theMt. Carmel
vicinity. It is feared the former
will have to be taken to a hos
pital for relief, the latter i suf
fering from an attack of 'mala
rial fever. We hope the worst
has passed and they may Boon be
restored to the bosom of their
families in perfect health. J. i
A series of meetings has beenr
announced to begin with Mt.
Carmel Baptist church 3rd. week
in August. Pastor Lloyd Parker

During a thunder storm here
last week, a horse belonging to
Mr. Ned Harris, which was
hooked to a plow, was not only
knocked down and rendered un
conscious by the lightning, but a
piece of skin several inches' long
was torn from his face below his
eyes, which required several
stitches to put in place. The man
that was plowing, the animal was
also severely stunned but was
not otherwise hurt by thw Bbeck.
Strange indeed that ploughman
and horse were not instantly
killed.
An altercation occurred on the
colored baseball ground Saturday
afternoon that may terminate
seriously. Two colored youths
exchanged some profanity when
one hit the other beside the head
with a baseball bat He was

still in a precarious condition.

. Suffolk defeated Aulander in
two games here last Friday, the
scores being three to two and
seventeen to four. The first game
was one of the finest ever play
ed on the local ground, the latter
being something of a farce and
full of errors. A large crowd
attended these games.
The Aulander school team de
feated the Union school team
here Saturday by a score of 10
to 5 in a most interesting game.

years, and has a host of friends.

BETTERMENT ASSOCIATION WORK.
Proposed to Hake the Association a
Betterment In tbe Best sense
of the Work.
With tbe editor's permission,
we will use Northampton Schools'
best friend, the Roanoke-Chow
an Times, to notify the mem
bers of the Jackson Betterment
Association not present at our
last meeting and any who may
wish to join us, of our plan of
work as outlined at the meeting
on Friday, June 13.
It is our purpose to make the
association a betterment" in
the true sense of the word, to
see that whatever we do is for
the school's that is, the chil
dren'sgreatest good and also
for our own. To do this we must
make the character of our work,
not "money getting," our object
We will certainly sacrifice our
best efforts if we look to money
reward only, whereas, if we
make what we do worth while,
the money will follow.
We think that in order to do
our best work and to derive as
much benefit and pleasure as
possible, each one must do some
work in which he or she is inter
ested, so for the present we have
three departments others may
be added later and anyone may
join one or all.
The Dramatic Club looks for
ward not to having minr plays,
but good ones, given with a view
to raising the standard of enter
tainment, presented in our audi
torium and as a "betterment"
association to feel responsible
for its quality. Miss May Cal
vert has been appointed manager
of this department. Jackson has
good dramatic talejat and the
club ib sure to be a success.
Those who enjoy musical work,
prefer as their part to be respon
sible for the music given at our
entertainments and will work:
with the idea of having musical
numbers ready whenever there
miy be an opportunity for a pro
gram. Mrs. u. U. Midyettewas
chosen to direct this department
One of the most important
phases of the association's work
is under the management of Mrs.
J. T. Flythe, as head of what we
choose to call our "Domestic
Science Department" It hopes
to lead to big things and in the
meantime as it works toward
this end, "refreshments" served
by the Betterment Association
will be "just as they should be. "
We think this club work will be
interesting and of advantage to
those who undertake it
Each of these departments will
conduct its own work and the
meetings of the several depart
ments will not affect the general
meeting once a month. If one
wishes not to join in any special
work there will be many oppor
tunities to help in the general
work of the association.
We hope the above will serve-
to let you know what we are do
ing and propose to do and that
you will feel it worth your help.
We are trusting our plans will
make the association a pleasure
and of personal interest and ben
efit to each member while it ,
serves our school and community.
