at Mr. Ollie Eake's Saturday
night; very large crowd attend
ed, mostly children . Messrs.
Henry Newton, and k, B.,D'
Briant gave the instructions as
to the making and serving of
the cream. I am glad ' to say
that everybody bothold and
young seemed to enjoy the
cream. If nothing happens to
prevent there will be another in
the neighborhood next Saturday
night.
Mr. A. B. O'Briant went to
Durham last week and secured a
typewriter for thevptfose of
gaining the speed that he has
lost during the summer so that

It was a great soccess from sev-. jjje farmerg are getting on

Prof. Bell ofcEockmgham was - , mfr' -

j n r - t 1 1 : n
fine piece of work to bless us. He
is a fine gentleman indeed, possess
es a great spirit, a big heart and
excellent equipment for schoolf
work. His people believe him, hej
has been fourteen years at his pres-i
ent place as Supk of schools andjl
it seems that the work he has done
is only an earnest of what is to'
follow. He was compelled to re
turn to his work on Friday and;
Prof. S. L. Sheep took up the
work of the second week. He also
is a great school man and for
twenty-nine years led the educa
tional forces of Elizabeth City
and the surrounding, county witli
his excellent private school which
for years ranked among-the veryJ
best schools of our state. He is
now Supt. of the schools of -Mar-
ion, N. C.
He did not come to us as a
stranger as many of our teacher!
had taken mathematics under hiftr
in the summer school at Chapel
Hill. He rendered us excellent
service. ;
Miss Bettie Land of Greensboro
was our assistant conductor. S$6
had charge of the Primary D
partment. She was with us.te
two weeks and has given our eduf
cational work a great uplift.-Surely
there are but few ; in NrOfNter
eaual in her line oLwork JShffil&s
her subject matterweit ' m nana
and knows how to present. She
possesses the faculty, in unique
style, of deeply interesting those
whom she teaches and leaves them
with that healthy enthusiasm that
maKes ttfem determined to put in
to practice what they have learned.
Her services are in great de
mand, but I learn that she is too
much devoted to her work in
Greensboro to accept any of the
attractive propositions offered her.
Mrs. Beam conducted the Insti
tute for the colored people It
was held in the colored graded
school building. Judging from
the enthusiasm created, the deep
interest aroused, the high ideals
set, the strong determinations fixed
for better service and for better
citizenship, her work must have
been a great success.
Ail these conductors and teach
ers were greatly delighted with
Roxboro -and her noble people as
shown in so many ways during the
two weeks. They say in all their
Institute work qf years they have
never been more cordially received,
nor more kindly treated, nor more
royally entertained than they were
by the people of Roxboro.
Both conductors and teachers
left praising Roxboro people for
the pleasant and profitable time
spent among them. J
I do not know how much it cost
to add so much to the pleasure of
the teachers, but I" feel sure that
Roxboro people have never made
an investment of like amount of
money that proved as great a
ble&sing as the amount spent in en
tertaining the teacliers will bring
as the years go by.
From the depths of my heart
I say "blessings oh Roxboro and
her people'
Sincerely"

TEACHERS ENTER- -

TA1NE0 ATVTHE-LAICE
On last Thursday evening the
citizens of the town invited the
teachers attending the Instituteto
be their guests at a six o'clock
dinner at the Lake. Promptly at
five o'clock automobiles were in
waiting at the graded school build
ing and were quickly filled and
speeding on their way to the
Lake. A committee of ladies had
preceded them and had made pre
parations for the dinner. After
spending an hour about the club
house, and listening to music, etc.
j dinner was announced and the
crowd was weil cared for by the
committee mentioned.
There were about one hundred
in the party and it looked as if
every minute was greatly enjoyed
by all present. After dinner
there was more music and the
party returned to town..
Evidently A Violation.
By request we are publishing
the order below:

xAuijStaIe.1Sept.ll.-The re
pu bl icans today made a clean
sweep in Maine. They elected
Carl E. Milligen governor "by up-
wnrds of 11 000
elected two senators. Frederick
elected:frur congressmen.: .Louis
B. s Woodall, in the first district;
Wallace H. White, in the second;
John l.'Peters, in the third,.and
Ira G. Hersy, in the fodrth.
The returns show a republican
gain of about thirty-five per cent
over the vote of 1914, and a demo
cratic gain of about seven per
cent. The republicans apparently !
captured about eighty per cent of
the progressive votes.
Indications are that the entire!
state ticket has gone through in
the landslide, thus giving the re
publicans a majority in both
branches of the legislature.

Few men have been loved by ;

this was evidenced by the
factor
that in his congregation Sunday

the leading members of all the r '
