Mi Lee P. Woody made 4
visit to Raleigh and Greensboro a
few days ago on business. Iee
says these towns seem to be em
joying a season f prosperity ancl
but little effect is being felt in an
opposite direction because of th
European War. C
Miss Hazel (iibbs returned to
her home at Lawrenceville, Va.a7
few days ago after spending sevf
eral days here with her friend,
Miss Rassie Jones. The lovable
disposition and charming person-J
ality of Miss Gibbs made her eas
ily one of the most popular young
ladies that have visited here in
some time.

and sons, John and Roy, of Nash
ville,. Tenn.; Misses Elizabeth

President F. P. Hobgood of
Oxford College, spent several days
here last week in the interest of
his school. It is understood the
are several young ladies here who
will be students there this year.
It was the good fortune of Miss
Maude Montague and myself to
be the week-end guest of our es
teemed friend, Miss Clarisse
Brooks, of Woodsdale." Our
time was spent in a most enjoy
able manned and Will be long- re
inembered as one of the most
pleasant visits of our lives.

If glasses are not needed I will

to know it and have us fit them.

W. A. Sergeant's Class In Camp
-Mr. Ww 4. Sergeant and his
Sunday School class are in camp
at the Lake this week. This class
is ' from' the Methodist Sunday
Schc-ol anil Is ' composed of the
following boys: Harold. Thax
toh, Elmer and Bennie Clayton,
Charlie Harris, Clyde Swartz,
Lawrence Woods and -Master
From Allensville.
On last Wednesday night, Aug.
T9, there was an entertainment at
the-hoine-of Mr. John Wjlborn,
Young Richard reports a good at
tendance and a most excellent time.
Pn Thursday night Miss Myrtle
Riley, the beautiful daughter of
Mr. Albert Riley, invited the
L.voung people of the neighborhood
:.fco an ice cream supper at the home
o her father. Everybody seems to
have had a most excellent time and
"are ready to say Hurrah for Miss
Myrtle, our young school marm.
Mr. Herman Garrett passed al
lensville on August 22nd carrying
a load of beautiful girls on a joy
ride on his new Ford car.
Richard had the pleasure on yes
terday August 23rd of taking Mrs.
Richard to a baptizing at Mill
.Creek church. Bio. Bass added
seven more to. the church. After
the baptizing we retired to the
church and listened to some most
excellent music after which Bro.
T. H. Street made us a talk of
some half an hour on Sunday
School work. He is evidently well
up on this kind of work, and long
may he live to continue in this
J?ood work is the wish of the writ
er. After Bro. Street Bro. Bass
opened service by saying instead
fif preaching to the young mem
bers as had always been customary
he was going to talk to the older
ones, and this he did in a very
)lain manner, so much so that
none could mistake his meaning.
This was Bro. Bass' last sermon
for this church and I am sure he
gave his members something to
ffmember, but gave it in the kind
est ot;manner. Alter xn is tnengnt
fellowship wariiven arid
est of fanner. After this the right
as near as I could count I , think
about 44 male members and 60
females shook the hands of the
new members. As usual the ladies
were in the majority as they al
ways are in all good works. I think
this is the strongest and most up
to date country church in the
county.
There was a prayer meeting at
the Parham school, house on last
Sunday night. Bro. Clem Gentry
conducted the services. There was
a large attendance and every one
present seemed to enjoy it to the
fullest.
Bro. Boone has just closed a pro
tracted service at Trinity Church
lasting nearly two weeks. I am
told that he had a large attendance
and seven new members were add
ed. He is to commence service at
Allensville today, Aug. 24th, and
if the heat and flies do not give
him trouble we trust he will have
a
good meeting. Poor Richard.
Handsome New Front.
Mr. A. R, Foushee is putting
in what will probably be the
handsomest front in town in his
mercantile building on Main
Street. This store is occupied by
Mr. A. Lipshitz, who says he will j
install the most up-to-date fixtur
es which can be found and will
continue to carry a line of mer-rl
chandise which will keep his bu
j siness up to the front.
Death of Little Mary Blackard.
On July 25, 1914, death enter
ed the home of Wr. L. and Mollie
Blackard and bore away the spirit
of Mary, their 14 months old
baby. Lfttle Mary had been sick'
for several weeks and all that
fond parents, kind friends and the
doctors did was of no avail. May
broken-hearted parents be com
forted with the assurance that
Mary is now in the City of God,
where sorrow, pain or death can
not enteri Aunt Ann.
