Coltrane Superintendent August 27. 1919 R0AK0XE GUN CLUB ORGANIZED The Roanoke Gun Club was or ganised this week with about twenty charter members. Mr. Arthur House, of Weldon, was elected President and Mr. Stan ford Travis, treasurer. The club was organized by admirers of the sport of trap shooting, living in Roanoke Rapids and Weldon, and those interested in said sport are invited to join. The club will meet each Thurs day and Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock. We expect to publish the scores of some of the crack hots ia u early issue. From Our Farm Demonstration Agent IF (J Tattax. It afternoons were devoted to play. On Wednesday afternoon all the were taken up town to see safely on Saturday. County Agent. F. G. Tarbox will return to Raleigh Sunday to attend the meeting of the county agents, and farmers convention. The Agents meeting will extend through Wednesday of this week, and the Farmers Convention will be Thursday and Friday. Just as soon as all the tobacco has been put into the barns, every stalk in the field should be destroyed by cutting them with stalk cutters, or disc harrows and plowing them in. Stalks which are allowed to remain in the field furnish food for the diseases and insects which at times cause considerable Iosa- iongas me stains are auve in!Wts aT1(1 diseases continue to increase, and this means that we are aiding rather than trying to kill out these pests. Some of the tobacco diseases live on cer tain weeds, and in spreading I from the tobacco fields they find places to live over until another season. The worms continue to thrive until frost, and then hi bernate until next season, and as i long as we leave the stalks grow- , , , . . , , structive pests to increase and be ready to attack the crop worse another year. Realizing the value and need for good pastures Mr. A. S. Allen f W'eldon is planning to sow two acres of mixed grass and clover pasture in September. He will also plant two acres of alfalfa. Not only is it valuable on account of its feed value, but it will enable the farmers to pro duce at home the necessary hay for his stock. Alfalfa can be .lit aa rmnv oa fiua timoa a voar V " ' oepenaing on me season ana me land, but it is a rather poor piece of alfalfa which wont grow enough to be cut as many as four times a year. Good alfalfa hay is the best hay grown. ENTERTAINS AT CARDS Mrs. Eflie Brown entertained a number of friends at cards I last Friday evening at her home near Rosemary. Tables were ar ranged for eight and the guests enjoyed progressive games from s until 11 o clock at which re freshments were served. Mrs. Brown's father, Mr. S. True blood, acted as host during the evening. NOTICE TO WOODMEN There will be no meeting of Birch wood Camp W. O.nW. next Monday night on account of the revival now being conducted at the First Methodist Church. . CHRISTIAN CHURCH CLEANINGS (Communicated) The Nash-Edgecombe District Convention meets with the Christian Church at Rosemary to-night (Friday Aug. 29) and will close on Sunday night A cordial invitation is extended to tne public. D. A. Hudson preached last week and J. S. Williams preach ed this week at the Christian Church. Mr. Wheeden will begin build ing the Christian church at once. The Sunday School department will be built first The inside measurements of the S. S. de partment will be 65x40 feet To give you an estimate there will be about five hundred (500) square feet of floor space more in the Sunday School department than there is in the Tabernacle and some think the Tahrnacle is a large building. We are com pelled to build a large building in order to accommodate the large crowds which attend our services. We make the assertion without the least fear of contra diction, that more people attend the Christian Church than any other church in the community, and we intend to work to the end of getting more. The Tabernacle is too small to accommodate the crowds now and as the communi ty grows the Christian Church grows. At the present time we have 419 members and the work continues to grow. We believe we have the largest member ship in Rosemary or Roanoke Rapids, or possibly in Halifax County and the work moves steadily and evenly on. Misses Mary Hardison, and Amanda Mason held an ice cream social at their home last Friday night for the benefit of the Christian Church. A nice sum was realised. Quite a large number of young people were present They are very zealous workers in the Christian church. Misses Lucy Taylor and Ethel Waters rendered several musical selections during the meeting and will sing during the conven tion. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Brewer, of Sebrell Va., came to attend the revival. The Mens Bible Class had the largest attendance last Sunday and so they won the banner. The classes are doing -splendid work. Mrs. Iona Roberson will leave Monday for Chicago to attend Moody Bible Institute. She will take a special course in practial church work and will be gone about two years. J. T. Kilhebrew will be sent to Cincinnati, Ohio to attend the International Convention of Churches of Christ at the ex pense of the Church. Our vision must broaden and we believe this can be done by putting the members in touch with the work. Several thonsand delegates from all parts of the world will be present AN APPRECIATION OF SERVICE The following was sent in this week by a patron of the local telegraph office: "A message filed at the Wes tern Union Tel.
