Banquet Gi*fn At Hotel Jones. Many
. Touts and Much Merriment.
The Hotel J-onei was tha center
for the lively Annual Jwrior-Senior ;
banquet last" Friday night. Custom
of the past can hardly find its j
. equal wh?jn compared to the precise
ness and beauty of the occasion.
Long before 8:45 the dignified sen
iors and expectant seniors began to
assemble. There was a georgeous
array of evening gowns, represented I
by every color and style, -rand for i
once every "one forgot about school
i to "enjoy themselves in r. the big
i event , qt tha - year.
The dining ha)I of the hotel was
leco rated with class colors of yel- ,
, low and white. Crepe paper of these '
colors joined the various -columns j
forming a chain work wof gold nnd
Wack. Daisies, the class flower,
were conspicuous on every table j
After some searching, every one fin
ally found their seat. The Toast
mistress, Miss Elisabeth Morris,
proceeded to give a hearty welcome
to the Seniors and faculty. Upon
the bid of the Toastmistress every
one began to prepare for the first
course, which, consisted of Fruit .
Cocktail. Then and therefore we
mat the first obstacle, which was the
right spoon? After an inquiry of
r.ur near neighbors, we came to the
conclusion that neither one was le
gitimate. The eecond course consis
ted of Baked Chicken, etc., and
v.ould have been perfect, if sevveral
of the guests and faculty, or ?ome
tiniy, hadn't, dropped ?e>~ nyuiy forks
> nd khives. Ice crea-ra and cake
was served as an excellent dessert, j
The waitresses were represented .
ky the freshman Class. Each One
was dressed in colore corresponding
to the Senior class colors.
The banquet is oyer, but long will
the memory of it linger in our minds.

THE OLD VETS GATHER
Memorial Day Observed Last Satur
day. Dinner Provided by the
Danghjers.
Memorial Day exercises were held
here last Saturday. At 10 o'clock in
the morning- the Veterans met in
their regular annual business meet
ing.. There were 18 present, and 12
absent. The' rail call showed that 12
had passed away since the former
annual meeting. When it is remem
bered that there were one thousand
soldiers from this County the fig
ures above shows how the "old fel
lows'^? thinning ou? In a few
short years the sight of an Old Vet
wil be a matter to be remarked
about. ?
After, the meeting of the Veter
ans they assembled at' the school
auditorium where ajfctropriate fir
ercises were held. A quartette com
posed of Mesdames Lilian Foreman
and H. W. Newell, Rev. R. E. White
and Clyde Crowell sang some of the
old songs so dear to the heart of
the soldier boys Mrs. M. R. Long,
president of the -QaiiglrttrFs, presi
ded over the meeting in a most
graceful manner, and in -a very
charming flow of words introduced
the speaker, Mr. J. W. Noell, Editor
of Hie Courier. After the address
the old soldiers and their wives went
to the farmers warehouse, where a
most sumptuous dinner was served.
THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH
CAROLINA GLEE CLUB
The Glee Club of -the University
of North Carolina has established
itself as one of the leading male
choruses in the country, its work
having been placed on an equal
footing with such groups as the
St. Ol&f Choir, the Westminister
Choir, and Uje Harvard Glee Club.
The organization is composed of
sixt?. . uridargtaduat*' "studenti, the
concert units ranging in size from
twenty-five to fifty Men.'
The programs sung by the club
are varied in their make-up'; ranging
from the most severe classics to the
best modern compositions; the num
bers offer contrast and variety which
assure sustained interest.
In speaking of a concert given in
Greensboro by the Club the Grsens
boro News says: "The Glee Club
sang some old sacred sop^s with
such ^perfect .harmony that, if one
had closed his eye's, he . might ima
gine himself alone in a huge, diriily
lighted cathedral where- the only
sound was that of a great organ
fingered lightly by a master. The
low crooning, notes swelled almost
imperceptibly in a perfect crescendo:
The people of Roxboro and Per
son County will have the opportun
ity of hearing this most excellent
group on Friday night. May 15th. at ,
the school auditorium. i

died at Watts hospital Friday after

The youth wag struck by a ma

across Duke street near the Liggett
and Myers tobacco factory to enter
his father's car. Miss Stallings was
driving west and Clifton with two
other lads started across the street
obliquely to Mr. Woell's machine. He
turned and saw *the oncoming car
in time to check his speed and grab
et the side of the auto in an effort
to keep from falling. In so doing
he was grazed by the back fender

TOBACCO GROWERS
CO-OP ASSOCIATION
TOBACCO CO-OPS
OFF TO KALfcfGB
Annual Meeting* Oa May 19 T*
Hear Members From All Beits
In Tfcrcp States.
Headquarters of the Tobaect*
Growers - Cooperative Association
at Raleigh promises to be the Meets,
for members of the Association from
three states next/Tuesday. May IB
when the annual meeting of t)w
Associaton will be held in PuUen.
Hall at the North Carolina State
College.
Lively interest has developed
among the tobacco farmers of Vir
ginia and South Carolina in this an*
nual meeting of ? the Tobacco Coop
erative owing to the fact that U>?
directors have Urged attendance s .
from every state and If possible
from "every county of the three J
states in which it operates. ,
The policy of wide-open publicity
which the Tobacco Association ha*
adapted since inviting and publish
ing the report of public officials
from three states on its affairs and
policies will be the feature of the
annual meeting next week,, at that
time a fall report by Richard R.
Patterson, Manager 6f the Associa
tion is to be followed by a frank
discussion from members represen
ting every tobacco belt in the Caro
linas and Virginia, as to the plaaa
and policies for the season of 1925
1928.
It is expected that next week's
meeting will be the largest father
ing of tobacco planters who have
ever met together as representatives
of the tobacco belts of the three
states. It will unquestionably has*
much influence in shading the poli
cies of the new board whosa elec
tion will be confirmed at this meet
ing,. by the members.
This will be the. first time in the
history" of tobacco growing when
farmers from the swamps of tk?
Pee Dee in South Carolina and moun
taineers from the dark fired t abac
co district of Virginia meet face tor
face with North Carolina growers,,
in large numbers to draw up plana
for their mutual benefit.
It Is known that numbers of dele
gations from Virginia and Sooth
Carolina are already being formed to
attend Tuesday's meeting at Stats
College, and as a majority of the
Tobacco Co-ops live withfn less
than a hundred miles of Raleigh
there is every reason to expect a.
record breaking annual meeting: as
the 'association starts its fourth year
of operation.
