The annual meeting of the members of the Piedmont Com mercial Club was held Thursday night in the club quarters in the James Building. The report of the secretary and treasurer showed the club finances in fair shape. The annual report and address of the president was pos sibly the most interesting feat ure of the meeting. The president, W. L. Mann, in his address, among other things, pointed out briefly some of the things which the club has ac complished during the past year, among them being the effort in getting a community building in Albemarle. He followed with a list of recommendations for the coming year's work. He insisted that the time has come for the club to take a stand in behalf of better highways for Stanly county, street improvements for Albemarle and co-operation with the farmers of the county in making their farms more profit able. He emphasized the impor tance of the club keeping in touch with the education' movement, stating that the pub lic schools of the county are far fronvwhat they should be. The members elected four ad ditional members on the board of governors. These were W. L. Mann, L. S. Whitworth, J. A. Groves, and John Spinks. Sev eral interesting talks were made by members present. After the adjournment of the membership meeting the board of governors met and elected as president, W. L. Mann; vice president, M. J. Harris; secre tary, John Spinks. Cor. Mr. Spinks is comparatively a new comer but is full of en thusiasm concerning the work of the club. The club has chosen wisely. Death of Little Nora Mae Gantt.

With Eelgrade, the old Capi tal of Serbia, in the hands of the j leutonic forces, they are press ling forward against the Serbs Iboth in the east and west in an endeavor to move southward and i gain control of the main ralway line. The Austro-Huncrarians on the west have advanced to the town of Obrenovac, while on the east the Serbs have been dis lodged from several positions on the southern bank of the Dan ube by strong German forces. In the fighting along the low er reaches of the Drina River the Austro-Germans lost heavi ly in unsuccessful attacks, ac cording to Nish, which in an nouncing the fall of Belgrade, declared that &he city was not given up without desperate re sistance. Adyices from the Ser bian frontier, coming by way of Berlin, are that Belgrade was not grealy damaged by the bom bardment preceding its cap ture. University Glee Club to Be Here. It will be of interest to all the music lovers of Albemarle and Stanly county to learn that the University of North Carolina Glee Club and Mandolin Club will again visit our city this year. T. A. DeVane, who has! been in touch with the manager of the Club for some time, re ceived a letter from W. G.

Albemarle is indeed for tunate in having this troupe of fine musicians to visit our city again and we should all look for ward to the occasion with great anticipation and turn out in full force on the night of the concert.
