Baraca Day.
Baraca Day was observed by
the Baraca Class of the Webb

Sunday. The members of the
class had charge of the prelimin
ary exercises of the Sunday
i'C'hool, rendering special music,
etc., after which they assembled
IB their new handsome class
room for the first time. 42 mem
bers were present. The most
interesting and impressive fea*
lure of the class exercises was a
iipeech by Mr. J. H. Boon, Presi
dent of the Baraca Class of the
M. P. Sunday School. He talked
very forcibly, giving some helpful
points in Baraca work, by which
the Baraca class may be made a
i.uccess aud a great benefit to the
3’oung men of the community.
The members of^ the cla§s were
very fortunate in having Mr.
Boon speak to them, and each
OTiB present expressed his delight
ar.d appreciation of the speech,
which will be long remembered
by all.
This Baraca class is living up
to ihe Baraca motto; “We do
Ihirigs.” and is to be congratula
ted for its splendid achievements.
It may be truly said that this
Ciass occupies a very high stand*
.ujg in the Baraca work of Bur-

Still Waiting. •
The colored excursion from
Greensboro to Durham Mon -
day worked the Yankey trick on
the colored brethern of Burling
ton. The train which had eight
ears was filled before it rrached
this place. When the train
reached Glen Raven it was seen
that the engine did, not have
water enough to carry them
through, so the engine was freed
from the cars and brought to
the tank and filled. The anxious
crowd waiting, which was;; thirty
or forty strong, was told the ex
cursion would be on in a few
minutes and so it was, but it did
not stop and the crowd was left
waiting.

Back they walked to H street,
just across LaFayette square
from the White House to the
church whiere Mrs. Taft: worships
when she is in Washington. It
also was closed and the trio of
distinguished chiirchgoeiTS finally
turned iii the direction of the
