On the evening of July 5, a rocket fell
on the porch roof of Mr. Wait's house, and
continued to blaze. Fortunately a ladder
was near, and he was able to reach it,
and throw it to the ground,where it burned
for half an hour longer. Had it fallen on
the high roof which is quite inaccessible,
the house would have been seriously
damaged if not destroyed. Fire rockets
are dangerous playthings.
The Camp Fire Girls entertained the
Bov Scouts on Saturday evening, July 3.
The young ladies gave their guests a
luncheon, of their own cooking, of course,
and then took them for a picnic at Lake*
view. They spent a most delightful even
ing at Southern Pines' seashore resort, re
turning about 11 o’clock. That’s a much
better way to spend the night before the
Fourth than the old style “night before.”
The Carmans are the peaches that oc
cupy the center of the stage just now. Mr.
Abraham is said to have the largest and
finest crop of peaches that ever grew on
his place and the orchard has a record
that is hard to beat. Some great crops of
splendid peaches were raised in that or
chard by Mr. Huttenhauer, the former
owner. That a man comparatively new
at the business should have kept the or
chard to its hishest level is significant.
By way of celebrating the glorious Fourth,
a tournament was held at the Country
Qtd> on Monday afternoon. Eight players
entered, and despite threatning weather
with some rain, had a pleasurable game.
They were: J. S. Huntress, L. E. Grover.
A. C. Grover, W. P. Allen, R. E. Wiley, C.
L. Hayes, F. B. Bloomer and H. Rush

Bloomer who tied for first and second
prizes with a score of 49 each for the nine
holes.
Thirty six automobiles stood in front of
the Princess on Tuesday night, all but two
or three from out of town. Nearly every
town in the Sandhills was represented.
there being 18 from Raeford, 22 miloa
distant. It was a great crowd that Mary
Pickford drew but every night's offering at
the Princess is almost as good. Of course
some pictures are better than others but
nearly all are really fine. It is only at
rate intervals that a poor picture comes
along.
The Fourth of July has come and gone
but the great day made very little noise in
Southern Pines. The flags were out, the
stores were shut in the afternoon and there
were a few firecrackers let off. The order
was good all day and there was no drunk
enness to be seen on the streets. The
police officers had very little to do but
they were there, ready to act if occasion
called. Two recent deaths had thrown a
pall of sadness over the community and
the wide spread sense of sorrow had
something to do with the unusual quiet of
the day. _
Card of Thanks

to thank you all for the many kindnesses
and love shown us during Evelyn’s sick
ness and in connection with her death.
