Yesterday morning, May 23rd,
I was in attendance at Allensville
Sunda3r School and to the credit
of Bro. T. B.. Davis, our superin
tendent will say he is building up
a school that not only he but the
entire community should be proud
of. I was at Rock Grove in the
early afternoon, Bro. Vann
Slaughter is superintendent of
this school, one of the best men
Rock Grove could have gotten for
this school and I arn looking for
great results. At3 o'clock, p.
in., I was at Brooksdale to hear
Bro. Boone preach to the Juniors
and see what the Juniors looked
like, but found it to be only a lot
of Methodist brethren with a few
sashes, ribbons and spears added.
However, Bro. Boone started out
with the Juniors and finished up
with the women and ladies and
what he said was a plenty. It
was a powerful sermon according
to the understanding of Poor
Richtrd.
We have very flattering pros?
peels for all crops down this way
and the farmers are working as
perhaps they have never worked
before. Poor Richard.

LAST WEEK. (Continued on Page 8) ' ; '
Neptunes Daughter
The photo-play, "Neptune's
Daughter'' was shown at the
Princess last Friday afternoon
and evening s to a large crowd.
This play was considered by all
who saw it as the greatest moving
picture ever shown here.
There is no better place to
spend your evenings than at the
Princess, more especially these
h6t ones, as there is no better
ventilated place in town, and with
the large electric fans, there is no
cooler plhce to be found.
The management of this theatre
are showing exceptionally good
pictures, and the people of Rox
boro should consider themselves
fortunate in. having such a place
to spend a part of their evenings.
