He has j feel verv SFateful to them for faithf ullv served the churchea on I their hearty support. his field the past four years and must leave us. While he has made many warm friends here, who regret his removal, still we gladly commend him to his new flock. The Thanksgiving services at Elam and Seaboard Baptist churches were well attended the past Sunday. Quite a number were disappointed because the Chowan College trio were not on hand. We are not in a position to give amount contributed to Thomasville Orphanage, as many of the members who were un avoidably kept away will make their contribution before it is sent in. We fear, however, we shall fall behind some of the churches of our sister towns, who have excelled themselves this prosperous year. - Mr. G. Fenton Crocker, the popular Dodge Agent, and Mr. J. T. Maddrey motored to Empo ria, Va., last Saturday. Mr. Crocker returned with a Dodge roadster which he had previously sold to Dr. Sam Boone, Jackson. Our young friend and towns man, Mr. Kindred Long, who is pursuing a Medical course at the University of N. C, underwent an operation last week. While he has suffered much and caused his family considerable anxiety, we are gratified to know he is doing nicely and expects to be able to eome home and enjoy the CKristmas holidays with his loved meaf;A' ;: 'v ;. Mr. T. J. Stephenson attended the Baptist State Convention at Elizabeth City last week. He went as a messenger from Mt. Car m el Baptist; church. Toe Bazaar at Woodland. The bazaar at Woodland last Friday and Saturday was a suc cess in every particular. It sur passed the hopes and expecta tions of the most enthusiastic members of the three Betterment Associations (Olney, Woodland, and Hebron) which were respon sible for this enjoyable and profit able occasion. The menu con sisted of oysters, turkey, chick en salad, sandwiches, ice cream, coffee and cocoa. The booths which were fixed up by the ice cream committee and the candy committee were decorated very attractively. So eager did people desire to help out all they could, many families took all their meals there except breakfast from Friday noon until Saturday night. The menu committee, who thought ample provision had been made for the expected crowd had to go out after 9 o'clock Friday night and buy more turkeys for the next day. A new supply of candy had to be made at two or three different The direct sales from the ba zaar, counting the meals, candy and fancy work amounted to about $300.00. The ladies had solicited help from persons out side the town in this and other states. From these sources they had nearly $200.00 given to them making a total of $500. 00 in the hands of the women of Wood land. In talking to some of the leaders of the movement they thought $50.00 would cover all expenses and so they believe they will have $450 00 to place in the bank at Woodland. This money will be expended to fur nish the new school building which is to be erected soon be tween Woodland and George. County School Notes On November 27th. a Better ment Association was organized at Gumberry with 14 members. The officers are as follows: Mrs. Boyle, Pres.; Mrs. Hart. Vice Pres. ; and Mrs. Cooke, Secretary and Treasurer. Already they have had two meeting, and made arrangements to make first payment oi piano which has been installed in thescbo l build ing under the influence of Miss Baskerville and, Mr. Boyle. This piano has meant much to those children so far and it will devel p their, musical . talent more and more in their school days. Miss9s Baskerville and Taylor,- the teachers, have a vocal music class organized of the entire school. They meet once or twice a week outside of school hours to practice sengs to be used in the school. We are very proud of this school and are looking to it for greater things this sear. They are sure to come with such excellent teacnera leaaing ., a FROM JACKSON. Bond Election Results In Big Victory For Good Roads-Oldest Bust , ness Firm In County. The Thanksgiving offering at the Baptist church here last Sun day was $111.00 which goes to the support of the Thomasville Orphanage. The election held here Monday on the question of issuing addi tional bonds for road improve ment resulted in a great victory for good roads, only about half a dozen, voting against the bond issue. This is the second election held In Jackson township to vote road j bonds and both carried Therfe are only 16 miles of roads in tfie township and less than two jrears ago a $16,000 bond is sue was voted to build the roads and work was begun last Janua ry, and has been continued ever since, a large force of convicts being employed in road construc tion., s The people found that it would require about $8000 addi tional to complete the work so well begun and another election was called for with the above re sult. Rich Square is the only other ' township in the county that has voted bonds for roads. That township has 70 miles of roads and first issued bonds to the amount of $30,000, and after that amount was expended called another election and voted $20, 000 additional, $50,000 in all, or about $700 a mile' We 'believe that the Jacksbtf ' roads ;'will be v- 1 Xr JST constructed in this part of the State.
