MEANS BARBECUE
IS MERRY EVENT
LATE THURSDAY
More Than 400. Guests at
Feast Given by Mr. and
Mrs. Brandon W. Means
at Rockland Farm.
Mr. and Mrs. Brandon W. Means
•entertained uniquely in honor of Miss
Catharine Goodman and her guests,
Miss Blanche Bell, of San Antonia,
Texas, and Miss Lydia Fitzgerfttd,
of Clarksdale, Miss., with a great bar
becue at Rockland Farm, west ol
Concord, la Thursday afternoon.
Some 400 guests gathered around the
festive boards in tne little picturesque
ravine to feast of the delectable
meats.
The merry occasion was held in a
beautiful, cool, natural setting.
Alongside a- babbling brook, which
draws ite life from several springs,
the great feast was spread. Huge
trees, whose slightly tinted leaves
give hint of Autumn, protected the
spot from the parching rays of the
relentless September sun. Nature
could not have furnished a more
suitable place for such an event.
The barbecue began about 5 o’clock
and continued until twilight had fad
ed into the night. The guests weie
served as they arrived, their plates
being heaped wih different kinds of
barbecued meats, Brunswick stew,
slaw or dressing, pickles, etc. A
variety of soft drinks were served,
and those who desired water, found
pure iced water in a nearby spring.
The event illustrates perfectly that
neither patriotic or political meetings
have a monoply any more on barbe
cues. It is needless to mention what
kind of a time the guests had- Good
times are the only amusement one
can have at such occasions. Eating,
it is generally understood, is ex
cellent amusement, and when it comes
to providing a barbecue de luxe, Mr.
Means certainly “knows his Bruns
wick stew.”
Dinner For Mrs. Linn.
On Sunday, September 11th, the
children of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Linn
gathered at their home near China
Grove to help celebrate their mother’s
55th birthday anniversary.
After all had assembled they spread
a table in the yard, which was filled
to capacity with good things to eat.
After God’s blessing was asked up
on each home represented and thanks
for the many good things to eat, ev
ery one ate until they felt that it was
time they should stop.
A very pleasant afternoon was
spent in singing, making pictures of
the family and talking of childhood
days. As the time drew near to de
part the ch ; ldren sang, “Home, Sweet
Home.” and “God Be With You Till
we meet again,” and wishing their
mother many more happy birthdays
left for their homes respectively.
Those present were. Mr. and Mrs.
J. A. Gardner and children, Carri
belle, Duard, and Evelyn, of Faith;
Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Day vault and
children, Bernard, A. C., Jr., and
Allyene, of Kannapolis; Mr. and Mrs.

CONSTRUCTION OF
NEW CHURCH GOES
FORWARD RAPIDLY
Workmen Begin Assembling
Steel Frame. —110 Tons of
Steel in Building. —Is to
Cost $116,000.
The task of swinging into position
100 tons of steel girders is well un
der way by laborers who are employed
in the construction of the new St.
James Lutheran Church at the cor
ner of South Union and West Corbin
streets.
Workmen began late last week the
assemblage of the steel skeleton. The
placement of the massive beams sud
denly impresses the daily spectators
with the great amount of work which
has been done during the past few
weeks in the church construction.
The laying of the foundation entails
much time and hard work, and the
layman wonders at the slow pace of
progress.
The new House of Worship, when
completed, will represent in cost ap
proximately $116,000. The church
Will be striking Gothic architecture,
and finished in Indiana limestone, and
is being constructed by Blythe & Isen
hour, Charlotte contractors.
'The new church will probably be
ready for occupancy by March, 1928.

WANTS BETHEL TO
HAVE EXHIBIT AT
FAIR IN OCTOBER
Teacher of Agriculture at
Bethel School Taking P ar i
in Plans For the Fair
Exhibit.
Now is the time for the people of
Bethel community to get busv on our
Fair program. There should be full
co-operation of all in this matter and
I f%el sure that if we think seriousiv
for a whi.e we will come to the same
conclusion. If we decide as some
did at the last meeting of the Com
munity Club, the community exhibit
will be a success. Those who were
present at the last meeting of the
Community Club remember the dis
cussion we had as to the work re
quired. I feel sure and others do
too, that this community exhibit will
mean much to the community and that
the work will be fully rewarded
through the prestige that, we receive
as related to others.
The fair will mean more to the peo
-ple of this community if they have
something in the fair; so lets see that
each individual does his or her part
in the community exhibit problem. It
can be solved in two ways ; the cor
rect way and the incorrect way : That
is, if enough will work hard it can
be a success, but on the other hand
it will be a failure when one or two
have to do the work of the whole com
munity.
From the fair catalogue we have the
following under department A—Com
munity making the best exhibit : First
premium, S3O 00; second premium,
$20.00; third premium, $15.00; fourth
premium, SIO.OO. The scale : First
—the following scale of points will
be used by the judges in awarding
premium in departments A and 15:
Field crops 40 points, gardeu crops 10
points, home industry 10 points, fruits
10 points, -educational value 10 points,
artistic arrangement 10 points. Sec
ond, the entered for this
premium are limited to Cabarrus coun
ty, and each will be assigned to a
space 8 by 16 feet. Third, a neat,
sign not exceeding ten feet in length
should be placed over each exhibit,
giving name x>f community.
Some of the things we will want to
exhibit: field crops, 10 ears of some
variety of corn, three stalks of some
variety of cotton, half bushel, cow
peas of some variety, soybeans, three
stalks, half peck Mung beans, half
bushel peanuts, bushel oats, half bush
el rye, peck of legume seed, half a
bushel of wheat and other farm crops.
Horticultural products: plate of five
apples, half gallon grapes, etc. Home
industry: canned fruit, yeast bread,
cake, clothing. Please see catalogue
for complete list of the above.
The community exhibit will give
the people extra worth-while work but
at the same time we are developing
competition of values. Lets make this
cpmmunity go over the top through
our own efforts, -That is if we want
an exhibit we can get it. Those who
have failed to get a Cabarrus District
Fair catalogue will be furnished by
the agricultural teacher. X.
SMALL STILL WAS
FOUND THURSDAY;
IT IS DESTROYED
/ ________
Still, Made From Galvanized
Tub, Located in No. 10
Township by Officers of
County.
A small still of about 20-gallon ca
pacity was found in No. 10 township
Thursday by Sheriff R. V. Caldwell,
.Tr., and Deputy Sheriff Carl Honey
cutt.
Two barre’e of beer found at the
still were cut down by the officers
who also destroyed the still. No ar
rests were made as the still was found
at such a place it would be difficult
to determine its owner.
The officers reported that the still
was made from a galvanized tub which
had been equipped with worm and cap
necessary for the distilling of the beer.
It was a rather crude affair and had
every earmark of being a home-made
affair.
