PAGE 2 THE ALBEMARLE PRESS Thursday. May 7. 190- Ten Years Growth, Albemarle Woman's Club Birthday Celebration of Woman'a Club. A realization of many af the dreams of the rtltn 1 ill Woman's club culminated in the celebration of her tenth birthday in the club room on Thursday afternoon. April M. The club room had been attractively decorated for the o .sion with has kets of beautiful r let. On the presi dent's table was the lovely white birthday cake, top ed with ten -. recti candles, upon which the "eyes" feast ed throughout the entire program. A bowl of cxquisitt white roses was never could have accomplished all she did without the assistance given her by Mrs. Snuggs, who gladly cave her time ami her car unsparingly to many of the irksome duties devolving on the president. The history of the-c years would not be complete without mention of this unselfish ser vice. Today so many are shirking responsibility, not willing to take up work that calls for time, thought and p rsonai sacrifices. I wish it was pos sible that the members of this and all organisation in Albemarle might be permeated with the same devotion ; to duty as was our beloved president 1 .10 - - 1 -1 j . 1 placed in a vacant chair, as a - lent ' ' " TV"' vea memorial to Mis Pattie McCain. 7 mU,-h "e" Done ra,,h" The splendid attendance was in it- Y t,ant self, enough to give renewed inspira-1 ' ;PW'ntat.ve of the Lions tion to those who have been vitallv , J Mr W L Ma"n ''"pressed Hoei.,t,.,l with tbn urL- frm llu n attending the "celebra- beginnirig.

As a i we have learnei hard lessons thi of club work, b the child we may larger service for scussion followed, to which several ex-department chairmen responded. Possibly the most entertaining fea ture of the afternoon was the club prophecy, written by Mrs. Ode Park er, in the form of a letter to Mrs. Kli Kendrick. The contents of the letter were as follows: Albemarle. N". C.

For instance: if it Lane BrTiwn appointed her to fill the place. Think of it! Judge "Lizzie Beth" Reynolds! I am quite sure she ! never dreamed of such honor, when she calmly announced to Mr. Rey-: nobis, a few years back, that she was i going to practice law, if he meant to spend all his time growing peaches. A number of the "old" members ' were here for the celebration vester day. Mrs. O. J. Sikes from ' Char lotte, being one of them. Margie 1 Mauney managed to slip away from the chautauqua tour and was here for a few hours. We are always so glad ! when she is not on the road, because ! she spends' that time at home. Have, you seen her since she has reduced? You know a few years ago she weighed 17.1 pounds and now she' weighs 115. Mrs. I.aton was here, too. She says she likes to live in 1 Atlanta, and I think it must agree ' with her. She weighs 1 4". Well, I could write on and on, but I shall stop now. Laura Henning or I shouid say Mayor Henning is 1 to lecture at the club tonight and I want to hear her. It is just ten ' minutes till time and I must go. Congratulations to the boys and Sincerely, MARY COTTON PARKER. The club has been called upon to mourn the loss of the following mem-i ben: Maadames Macon 11. Etird.. George Milton. George Cheek, I. R. Burleyson, J. M. Boyett, Miss 1'attie I McCain, Mrs, '. 0. Fcagin. W. C.j Russell, R. W Osborne and Miss Eva Rupert "Not dead but only promoted They have entered the order above; And there neath the smiles of the Master. ! They will finish their labor of love." A review of the birthilay celebra tion would be incomplete, minus a reference to the untiring efforts of the outgoing president, Mrs. C. I). B. Reynolds. The writer is taking the liberty of saying that Mrs. Reynolds! was too modest to give a resume of I her own regime, However, it is not I too much to add that the organization WOUld probably have collapsed but I for her loyalty and determination to hold it together. Possibly the out-! standing features of her presidency are the securing of Hearne park as a playground, re-planting of shrubbery on the graded school grounds, and the beginning of a movement for closer co-operation between the town and county women. It is also interesting : to note that Mrs. Reynolds has at tended every meeting of the club, do- j partments Included, for three years. At the conclusion of the program ; refreshments were served and the) members went in a body to the Cen-1 tral Methodist lawn to have a club I picture made. Thus ended another momentous day in the history of the! Albemarle Woman's club, an organi zation of which the whole town is justly proud. Stanfield Items Stanfield, May 4.
