NAZARETH ORPHANS HOME PICNIC WILL COME AUGUST 4TH Scores of Persons Affiliated With Reformed Church Expected to Enjoy Day at Crescent Home. Nazareth Orphans’ Home in Rowan county will celebrate its 21st anni versary on Thursday, August 4th. The anniversary is a picnic day for thousands of people in Rowan and ad jacent counties and is one of the big days of the year for the Reformed Church in North Carolina. Visitors attend from as far east as Burlington and frohi as far west as Lenoir, tak ing advantage of this opportunity to mingle with and show their interest in the children of the home. The institution was founded by the Reformed Church in North Carolina. The prime mover in the venture was the late Dr. J. M. L. Lyerly, who canvassed the Reformed Church for funds, working patiently for more than three years before he saw the open ing of the home in 1907. ~T»he be ginning was small as there were only twenty acx-es of land in the original tract, and no buildings. Today the home has 150 acres of good land, build ings and equipment valued at $70,000 and an endowment of $16,700. There are fifty children in the school and they enjoy an eight-months school term each year' with industrial train ing in farm work. The home is located at Crescent, eight miles south of Salisbury, and is easily accessible by hardsurfaced road via Faith and also the newly con structed highway from Albemarle to Salisbury. On approaching the grounds one is impressed with preparations an nually made for the picnic. Many people are found working, preparing barbecue, chicken and all kinds of soft drinks, donated by friends. Proceeds from the sale go to the management of' the home. . Various congregations conduct stands ou the grounds, thus raising money that is turned over for the ex pense of the home. On each anniversary day there are two programs. At 11 o’clock in the morning the principal address of the day is delivered and the large audi torium is always filled with interested spectators when the opening feature of the program is offered. This year Hon. John C. Carpenter, of Gastonia, will be the speaker. He is well known in North Carolina as a -speaker and Church worker as well as a solicitor of enviable record. During the afternoon the children of the home will give a concert, and then there will be plenty of time for renewal of friendships and the making of new acquaintance, factors that make such occasions worthwile and enjoy able. The home is directed by a board of managers, twelve men and women elected by the Reformed Church in North Carolina. This board holds two meetings each year, and special meetings when affairs of the home demand them. The board will meet at the home on August 3rd at 2 p. m. and its members will remain over for the festivities of the following day. HARRISBURG GIRL WON THIRD PRIZE IN ESSAY CONTEST Miss Evelyn Black Won in Class Under 20 Years of Age With Paper on Farm Youth May Go> to College. Miss Evelyn .Black, of Harrisburg, won third prize, class under 20 years of age. for her essay on ‘‘How a Country Boy or Girl Can Go to College,” which she submitted in the cont'ests held in connection with Better Homes Week in Cajiarrus county recently. Her essay is as follows: ‘'To get a college education is a great problem with the average country boy and girl, for they have to make their own money if they go to college, but its easier now fbr the Home Demonstrator and Farm Agent have organized clubs over the country, teaching boys and girls to earn some of their money to attend college while in High School., *‘Boys and girls who join the | clubs can raise what they want to, go to the bank and borrow money to get started with. “A boy joined the 4-H club and raised hogs. lie and his Farm Agent went to a bank and it gladly loaned him a hundred dollars with which he> bought a Registered Breeding Hog. He raised one of pigs and sold them for ten dollars each more than anyone else in ' his community be cause they were registered _ pigs. The next litter he kept and that fall took them to the County Fair and won first prize which amounted to twenty five dollars- He then sold all o£ them for breeding at a fancy price, ail ot his money was clear as he had raised his feed on the farm. By the time he is old enough to go to college he will have enough money in the bank to pay his expenses. * “A girl in our community is rais ing turkeys and paying expenses in eollege. She has two kinds of thoroughbred and keeps about twelve hens each year. She carries a sale add in ‘‘The Progressive Far mer” and selre all of the first eggs at fifty cents each. After she has so!d all she can she sets them part under turkey hens and part under chickens hens that way keeping some of her turkey hens laying longer. N<vw she has about two hundred little turks and some hens still laying. If noth ing happens by fall she will have enough money to "pay her expenses in college a year. “I am raising turkeys this year and have been very successful so far, if nothing happens next year I am going to raise thoroughbreds. I still have two more years in High School and by *he time I am ready to go to college I hope to have enough to pay my expenses. “All country boys and girls who start early enough and will try hard eiruigh can go to college what ever they raise.” Freak Cantaloupe.

B > Radio king. *rl- gai > d hittin « in scintillating out thp C «f °. nCO EI Legionnaires shut out the Statesville Hustlers, 9 to 0, ■ Friday afternoon at Webb field. Thp Loncon} doughboys four bril liant double pHys to squash budding s ers rallies, and hit the offerings of I arker almost at will. The locals are credited with 16 healthy smashes. It was Ladies’ Day at the park, and quite a crowd of women and girls enjoyed the overwhelming Concord win. Only one other time during the current season has the Ladies’ Day been observed at Webb'field. ~ 1 rank Baker, of Albemarle, a semi pro right-hander, kept Statesville’s eight swats scattered. This feat of the moundsman added to the crack legionnaire fielding gave Statesville absolutely no chance to score. ' Concord started the slashing double plays in the third frame. Laird, who had reached first on an error, was out M. AV atts to Daughtery, between second and third bases; and Parker, safe on a fielder's choice, overran first, and was nailed 51. AVatts to Hord, to Chick Miller. Statesville's portion of the fourth canto was short-lived. Dowell beat out an infield hit. Neece was safe on Hord's error. Oswalt hit an easy infield fly, M. AA’atts muffing the ball. The batter was ruled out because first base was occupied. Then Hord grab bed Click’s liner and stepped on the keystone bag for a double play unas sisted. That trick won him more prjzes. Here's what Arthur gets for that thrilling performance: Two dollars in cash from G. A. Moser Shoe Co.; suit dry cleaned by M. R. Pounds; carton of cigarettes from Pearl Drug Store; shirt from J. C. Penney Co. ; three pair of socks from Ivey Shoe Co. Hord’s play marks the first un assisted double play at the Concord park this %eason. Hord recently won several prizes from local merchants by socking the first homerun, single and scoring the first run at the park. In the sixth merry-go-round Concord again staged a double play. Parker struckout. Dowell singled, and Neeee followed suit. Then these runners tried to stage a double steal, 'i Morris relayed the, ball to Hord who threw Neece out between first and second bases. Then Chic Miller hurled the pellet to Daugherty and caught Dowell. The Hustlers- registered a double play in the seventh against Concord but not before the locals had scored their ninth run. Baker hit into this double, forcing H. AA’atts at second. Hord and Mutt Millet led the big parade of hitting. The latter poled a homerun over the rightfiekl fence in the sixth with Hoard and M. Watts along the pathways. Mutt collected three hits in five trips, while Hord did likewise. Marvin AVatts, Lefty Mor ris, Lindy Lewellyn and Irwin Watts, each secured two hits. Concord scored two runs in the second inning, and added two in the fifth. In the sixth and seventh the locals pushed five tallies across the platter.

D. Ray McEaebern, county wel fare officer, will not move his of fices from the court house to the county building. It was at first planned for Mr. McEaebern to occupy one of the rooms in the county building on Church street, but county officials after a conference with the welfare officer deemed it best for him to re main at the court house. Mr. McEachern will share otfices with the county grand jury, quarters for the jury being under process of repair now. Since the jury does not meet but four times a year, and is in session only about three day« for each ternv of coi rt, county official decided it would work no hardships on either department for* the jury and Mr. McEachern to occupy the same quarters. The partitions in the offices formerly occupied by the welfare of fieer have been removed, making one large room that will easily care for the needs of the jury and Mr. Mc- Eachern. SIX DIVORCE SUIT NOTICES ARE FILED WITH COUNTY CLERK Total For July So Far Same as Total For June. —Few- er Marriage Licenses Dur ing The Month. Six divorce suit notices have been filed so far this month with J. B. Mc- Allister, Clerk of Superior Court for Cabarrus county. The total is the same as for June, six notices having been filed that month also. However, during June a number of divorces were granted in Superior Court in addition to the suits formally entered during the month. There have been fewer marriage li censes during July than during June, with the total for this month increas ing more rapidly now than during the first half. During one week in the middle of the month only one license was is sued 4rver a seven day period, but with in the past week there has been almost a license a day and the July total now bids fair to be larger than was at first indicated. Cabarrus Superior Court will be in sessinu again next month and it is probable that the usual number of di vorce case* will come up, with the usual mere formality of presenting the plaintiff’s testimony featuring each of them.
