A 7s m mmmm mmm mmi U1 J Volume VII. Number 24 RQANOKE RAPIDS, N." (i, SEPTEMBER 3, 1920 Subscription $2.00 a Year in Advance Q ROANOKE RAPIDS DEFEATS AULANDER Aulander was defeated by Roanoke Rapids-Rosemary four to two in a fast and interesting game on the local diamond Satur day. Brown bad the Aulander boys at his mercy until the eighth when he weakened and the visi tors recorded two runs, by two base hits and a single. Roanoke Rapids-Rosemary should have Bcored at least six runs but poor base running was responsible. The whole local team connected for a hit except Cannon and Harris. The feature of the game was the brilliant fielding of Speed who accepted all his chances on short and robbed the visiting batters of three good hits. The batting of .Wrenn, Speed and Kearney was largely responsible for the victory. Kearney hit out two doubles and Wrenn connect ed for three, two of which went to the fence. Brown pitched a steady game and held the visitors down when men were on the bases. Hoggard was batted off his feet in the sixth when the whole team bat ted around. Five hits were record ed, four for extra bases. His team gave him very poor support Castello missed two flies which should have been easy outs. He was replaced after the fourth by Johnson. The locals scored their first run in the fourth when Brown hit through pitcher and advanced on an error. He scored on Kearneys single to( left. In the sixth the locals connected with Hoggards fast ones and made three others. Aulander made their runs in the eighth when Baker slashed a two bagger to right, a single by Hoggard and Hollowell. J. .S. M. CLEAN UP DAY Every rural school in Halifax county should be ther center of common thought, interest, and service of the biggest and best people in the community. It is our task and yours to make the country schools bigger, better, and brighter than ever before. Therefore, every man, woman and child in the community should be doing something to bring this to pass. Let us not wait until the closing day of school to realize that our services have been needed. You can render your school no greater assistance than to help put your school property in a clean, sanitary condition and make it a fit place to send the young life of the community. Sometimes in Halifax County, the children congregate on the first day at a building, which has received no attention since the closing day of school. The floor in dirty, the desks have , not been arranged, the panes are out, the yard has grown up in weeds, and the necessary sanitary conditions have been overlooked altogether. Every thing presents a state of genera disorder, and as a usual thing, this state of dilemma present the first day of school character izes the work that will be, done that year. Let us be mindful of our full duty this time and see to it that we are not ashamed cf the appearance of our "Com munity Center", when work be gins this fall. In order that this may be ac complmed, let every man, wo man, and child in the community meet the teacher at the school house for a real day's work on Saturday, September 11th, the day appointed by the County Superintendent as "Get-Ready- Day ' for the long term schools in Halifax. See to it that the schoolhouse and the outhouses as well are in good repair and thoroughly cjean. The weeds which have grown up in the yard during the summer should be cut down, and the grounds made as attractive as possible. When the day is over, you will be surprised at the marvelous changes you have Helped to bring about A real big citizen does not stop here though, but just looks around him to find something else he can do to make his school better, and then Does It ROSEMARY PERSONAL AND LOCAL ITEMS Mr. W.
