ALBEMARLE PRESBYTERY CONVENES HERE Largest Attendance in History of Presbytery Assembled Tues day Nigbt. Sessions Crowded With Work MEET AT STOVALL NEXT TIME ; With the largest delegation in j attendance in its history, the j fifty seventh meeting of the j Albemarle Presbytery convened : on last Tuesday night at eight j o'clock in the Roanoke Rapids j Presbytery Church. The Pres- oyierean wa3 openea witn a masterly sermon by Rev. R. E. Henderlite, of Hyde County, S. K. Fountain, elder from the Rocky Mount Presbyterian Church, was moderator of the Presbytery, and the three days sessions were crowded with the work of adminstration and legislation for the myriad affairs of the Presbytery, which em braces over forty five churches, from Wake and Granville counties on the west, north of the Meuse river to the coast, and has a total church membership of more than four thousand. Rev.D.K. Woodall, of Virginia, was employed by the Presbytery as Travelling Evangelist. The membership in the Presby tery, as shown by reports from all churches, has made such sub stantial increase since the last meeting as to entitle Albermarle Presbytery to two more delegates in the Presbyterian General As sembly. Stovall, N. C, was selected as the place for the next meeting of Albemarle Presbytery. A resolution of thanks to the people of Roanoke Rapids for the hospitality shown the delegates to the Presbytery during their three days stay here was passed unanimously. The closing sermon was deliver ed on Thursday night to one of the largest audiences of the Presbytery by Rev. S. K. Phil lips, of Oxford, who comes from four generations of eminent Presbyterian divines, and who is one of the most brilliant speak ers in North Carolina.

You Feel that You are Only Half Alive j County Superintendent Akers "Hoe-handle medicine" is conduct his teachers meetings, about the best remedy that can 'This is the second trip for Mr. be prescribed this time of the j Brogden to this county.

At the first series body. It is said that in one's of meetings April 29 and March own back yard -- garden -- lies the solution of one's own pecul iar problems. In other words, worry, in all its various forms, when taken to the garden vanish es in the open air and sunshine. The "garden cure', is especial ly recommended for that mental and physical condition so charac teristic of the spring that makes you feel that you are only half alive -- that tired feeling that patent medicine literature talks so knowingly about. And it's this same tired feeling which the, patent medicine sellers have been so successful in appealing to that makes the spring time their golden harvest time. Tonics and teas that our grandmothers used to give for this condition had at least one virture -- they were harmless, but it is not so with their successors -- the patent medicines. The majority of the cures that have replaced the herb brew and the root tea con tain either alcohol or opiates, but probably their wor"$aultis that they raise false hoptWaste pre cious time and get 1 ; d earned money all under fait? claims. However, the day of the patent1 medicine faker is believed to be about over and disease and health are coming to be dealt with through honest, practical methods. The "garden cure" has a num ber of features to recommend it, and its most valuable, perhaps, is exercise in the open air and the time spent in the sunshine. Then there's "garden sass" that is grown that is the best of spring tonics, especially when included in the daily bill of fare. Early spring greens and garden vegeiauies anu less oi meats anu heavy foods will go a long way toward avoiding "spring fever" t i l i . J ' and that "let-down feeling." CARD OF THANKS We take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks for the many kindnesses shown our daughter during her illness. Our friends have been remarkably kind and attentive to her for which we feel very grateful. Mrs. Junious Taylor and family. "THE MAN ON THE JOB."

Groap Cter Teacher's Meeting. Mr. L. C. Broirdeii of the State Department of Education j was in the county helping 1st and 2nd the teachers in the group center schools were asked to teach a model lesson before the visiting teachers after which Mr. ; Brogden conducted a round table conference entering into, the merits and demerits of the lesson taught. The teachers en- ttred into these discussions with much spirit. The second series of meetings, j April 10th, 11th and 12th, were conducted in a similar manner only the subjects for discussion1 were the course of study, gradu-1 lion and promotion of pupils and the individual records to hand the succeeding teacher. In an effort to unify the promotion i of pupils Mr. Brogden emphas-j ized the necessity of the teach-! er's familiarizing themselves with the course of study adopted for j use in the rural schools for the! State of North Carolina ami of j agreeing upon some common rules and standards upon which to ad vance the grades. It is very ' necessary that these principle be strictly followed. If each teach er adopts her own standards there will be as many methods' of promotion as there are teachers. It is therefore nec essary that the County Superin-' tendent keep in cloe touch with his schools with such assistance as he can secure. If the teach-; er nas me interest oi tne cnu dren at heart it is necessary for! ner to recognize the importance jf a uniform method of advanc ing pupils and rigorously follow it. It is the intention of the County Superintendent to con tinue these group meetings next year dividing the county in- ; nve KroupiJ jnstea(j of j as tnjs Jear : three THIS JABOT REALLY SMART How Un of Handwork May Be Mad to Embelllah Oeilrabla Pieca of Neckwear.

Ordinary Needlewoman Can Fashion Garment in Leisure Momenta Blue Japanese Silk the Best Materials to Use. "I'm making a waist every morning before breakfast," said a pretty girl, 'nnd I will not eat breuklast until a waist Ib llnlBhed." I This waist is a little too elaborate to be made up before breakfast, but It Is exceedingly Blmple and very stylish In effect. You cannot have too many waists, I for they create that new look In your costume where a skirt Is worn for j many purposes. Then, too, you feel fresh when you change. I There is an instant appeal In the fact that the back Is In one piece, that the loose fronts button In front and that the whole waist la gathered to a I waist band. It Ib all so very simple. There Is no fitting except across the shoulders, and a mcro child could make the sailor collar, although It Is not strictly a sailor, since the back Is only curved around, with no trouble some points to set In proper position. One of the attractions about the waist Is the smocking on each side of Chio end Easy to Make. i he front, to make the fronts set nice ly In tholr upper portions. The seal Inprd fastenings are also (harming. In I lace ot smocking you may shirr ths fronts at the given place or make a group ot small tucks. Some blouse, of thla sort ar trimmed with a belt, collar and cuffs of bright liued leather. Othcra er adorned with any pretty contrasting material, some of which I cut in a blaa fold and stitched down the edge of the front. Tho'button. must match tho trimming in color, but If you can not conveniently get such buttons, and do not want to take the trouble to cover them, you can use any suitable button that cornea to hand. Thl waist la of blue Japanese silk, with red collar, cuffs, belt and scallop edge. Taffetas In all the new, soft varieties are' much used for waists, and so are pongees, which now come In many beautiful color.

No Insurance . Carried The community was aroused on last Wednesday morning by the alarm of the largest fire ex perienced here for some time, being W. G. Tillotson's big livery stables located at the rear of his residence at the corner of Second and Hamilton Streets. The exact time at which the fire originated is unknown, but it was discovered and an alarm turned in a few minutes after three o'clock. Although many citizens turned out promptly on hearing the alarm and hose con nections were quickly made, the fire had gained sufficient headway to make all attempts at check ing same futile, the flames hav ing broken through the roof by tne time tne nrst alarm was the stableg and residence being so close that it was only by strenuous efforts that the latter building was saved from conflag ration. isix ot the horses belonged to Mr. Tillotson and one to Mr. Daugh I try.

USEFUL ON WRITING TABLE Article That Would Make a Moat Ac ceptable Present la Ea.y to Mak, and Not Costly. This I a useful little article to pre pare for the writing table; It can be made from a small cigar box of the square shape. One end of the box Is removed and the lid aecurely nailed down, and the exterior ot the box smoothly covered with watered silk. This Is done by turning the material over at the edge and underneath, and fastening It on with a strong adhesive. The box Is next three-parts Oiled with sand, and the remaining portion filled with cotton wool. It la then covered In at the top with velvet, the material being tucked down Just In side the top of the box and tacked to the Bilk covering the edges, which are afterwards finished off with a silk cord that 1. arranged in two little loops at each corner. Near the top, In front, a small brass hook (similar to those used for hang ing cups on a dresser) ts screwed, on which a watch may be suspended. On the remaining three sides, loops of broad elastic are fastened on with small brass headed nails. Into which may be slipped scissor, paper knife, sealing wax or any of those little odds and ends that tend to litter up the writing table. A. will be seen In the ketch, the top of the box doea service as a pincushion. The colors ot the materials are a matter of choice, but this little article looks neat and effective made with green silk, gold tllk cord and green velvet. u I WITH THE CHURCHES Rosemary Baptist Church Rev.
