ThiS town for the past several j years has turned golf, and doubtless that will continue to hold its v own, but there are some who fail to find the same love for smacking e a golf ball 200 yards that th.ey do e for swatting the old pill over the s fence for a homer and these are looking forward to some real baseball games here. Harold Skillman, a baseball adj:_i. tViot. t.hpre was Suf J U1UL, diXlU MMV w .. _ s' ficient material for a good team in a the military company and that he 1 was hoping that arrangements Y could be made whereby the town would become a part of the Roa. noke-Chowan league, which em. braces Roanoke Rapids, Enfield and several other nearby towns. The local military unit matched _ bats with a town team in a twelvea inning game here last week and y came out victors by the score of r 12-11. The town team lost to Ma_ con . here Wednesday afternoon, j and on Thursday the Military company played Norlina, but the outj come of this match was not known a* at press time. t This week members of the miliir tary company have been active in j smoothing the field and placing the road leading to the diamond in y better shape. | | Student To Give Play At Elberon Tonight c Students of the Afton-Elberon s school will present a three-act play, g "A Fortunate Calamity," in the Ely beron school auditorium tonight at iC 8 o'clock.

Four physi- t ' cians, Dr C. H. Peete, Dr. G. H. . Macon, Dr. F. P. Hunter, Dr. W. D. ; Rodgers, and a number of citizens a I from the town and county attend- s ed.

Duke, in the trust in- n denture of December 11, 1924," said a ; Mr. Allen, "establishing The Duke p Endowment after making provisions h for Duke University and various b ; other charitable objects, said, among E other things regarding Duke Uni- ? t versity: 'I advise that the courses a j at this institution be arranged with E r special reference to the training of d ; preachers, teachers, lawyers, and 1 3 physicians.' 1 "With reference to hospitals he I i said: 'I have selected hospitals as I - another of the principal objects of r t this trust because they have become I 3 indispensable institutions, not only c i by way of ministering to the comi fort of the sick but in increasing s the fifficisncv of mankind and Dro- a . longing human life. The advance r 3 in the science of medicine growing I s out of discoveries, such as in the p 3 field of bacteriology, chemistry and s t physics, and growing out of inven1 tions such as the X-ray apparatus, e i, making hospital facilities essential s 3 for obtaining the best results in the v practice of medicine and surgery. c . So worthy do I deem the cause and <; f so great do I deem the need that s ; I very much hope that the people { . will see to it that adequate and con- ( . venient hospitals are assured in , s their respective communities.' ? i "It now, therefore, becomes my i f great pleasure on behalf of the truse tees of The Duke Endowment, into c f whose hands Mr. Duke committed j - this charge, to present to the trus tees of Duke University these medii cal school and hospital buildings. ^ f Although Mr. Duke, who so genert ously made possible the creation of t these facilities, which will stand for g e generations to come as a testimonial c l, to his deep love of humanity, is not ^ e present in body unquestionably his f spirit pervades this hall today for 3 did I not hear him say that he exi pected to be looking down upon this c s work one thousand years hence." ? 1 I s Girl Scouts Meet; s * Name Four Leaders a* b By ROZELLA DAMERON a JOHN GRAHAM HIGH SCHOOL, April 22.?The Girl Scouts held ' their meeting here this afternoon.
