"THE CHRISTMAS MESSIAH" GIVEN BY LOCAL CHOIRS Highly Appreciative Audience Hears This Wonderful Cantata / i The "Messiah" Is Handel's most | successful and best known oratirio? It was composed In the year 1741 in twenty-four days, from August k"t}2nd to September 14th. it was first ^performed at a concert given for Bhharitablf purposes at Dublin Ire ?to'TJlC April 13th, 1742, with Han Hr conducting the performance ^himself in person. Beginning with March 23rd, 1743, Handel brought the Messiah every year to London audiences with great applause. Sunday night in the First Bap tist church the choir, composed of voices from the several churches,) under the direction of Mr. J. How ard Young. choir director of the First Baptist Church, gave the Mes siah before a highly appreciative audience of music lovers. Long be-j fore the opening hour, 7:30, the church was filled to capacity, stand ing room being at a premium. It is a well known fact that Rox boro has some talented musicians and the choirs singly compare, most favorably with any, but collectively we doubt if they have an equal in these parts. Visitors present Sun day night who had heard the Mes siah elsewhere stated they had nev?T heard it rendered better anywhere. The soloists, individually and col lectively, did themselves proud, and all will long remember with pleas ure the Messiah, as rendered by the choir. ? Hie voices that participated in the oratorio were as follows: So pranos: Mrs. Carrie Bradsher, Mrs. Victor Satterfield, Mrs. Geo. W. Kane, Mrs. B. E. Love, Mr* Ed Long, Mrs. J. H. Kinkiad, Mrs. H. D. Young. Miss Wilma Walker and Miss Ruth Franklin. Altos: Mrs. Wheeler Newell, Mrs. Foreman, Mrs. I J. Howard Young. Mrs. J. D. Mor ris, Miss Mary Riley, Miss Helen Stanfield and Miss Lorena Wade. Tenors: Messrs. J. H. Kinkaid, H. D. Young, Jesse Slaughter, O. B. Riley and J. S. Walker. Basses: Rev. A. J. McKelway, Rev. V. E. Duncan, Messrs. Wallace Woods, Wm. Strange. N. H. Street and C. C. Garrett. o ? ? First Baptist Church li.know not how. that Bethlehem's w'Sbabe ^<Ct*uld in the Godhead be; I on\y know the Manger Child Has brought God's life to me!

A Visit To Bethel Hill High School ___ Friday morning It was our pleasure to visit Bethel Hill high school and to observe some of the work which is being done at that splendid In stitution. Everything was running like clock work, and there seems to be an air of work in every de partment. The trustees, or school committeemen, or whatever or who ever it is in charge have a happy, knack of bringing together a corps of teachers who fit in nicely. There may be other communities Just as good, but certainly there are none better, but this is not to be Oumlweil at, for BetM Hill was one of the very first Communities in 'the County to establish a worth whBe school, and for something like fifty years there has been a good school In that locality. i ? i o ' - Bristow, <Dlka., no longer has a "white way." The city ogclals turn ed off the light to save money. ROMANS OBSERVE LADIES NIGHT Annual Ladies Night Was A Jolly Occasion And En joyed By All Last Thursday night the Roxborol Rotary club held Its annual Ladies' Night at the New Jones Hotel, the ! banquet being served In the dining room. The room was beautifully decorated for the occasion, every thing having an air of Christmas ab^ut it. The meeting was almost a hundred per cent, and nearly every one had either his wife or sw etheart present. President Otis McBroom was to astm aster, and Mr. Geo. W. Kane delivered the speech of welcome. He is noted for his wit and humor, and on this occasion he was up to his high standard and every one thoroughly enjoyed this welcome; 1 he was followed Mrs. S. B. Davis who responded to the welcome. Mrs. Davis is happy on her feet, and on this occasion she was at her best, and all wished she could have had mere time allotted for her response. Others to speak were Rev. A. J. McKelway and Rev. W. P. West. A quartette, by Rotarians, was one of the much enjoyed features. Following these speakers a Christ mas entertainment, put on by Mrs. J. H. Hughes and other Rotaryanns, was given, and this was most en joyable. Favors were distributed to the ladies by old Santa Claus. H.- K.MND0B AMKES KIWANIS Local County Agent Was First Organizer of 4-H Clubs In The U. S. ^ t Introducing H. K. Sanders, Per son Countv Farm Agent. at the reg ular meeting of the K'wanis club. Rev; J. p. Herbert, chairman of public service committee, said Mr. Sanders was the first to organize 4-H clubs in the U. S. as sponsored bv public funds through business firms in January, 1913, at Fort Worth, Ark. Mr. Sanders explain-) ed the meaning of 4-H clubs as training of head to think and plan, the heart to be kind, true and sym pathetic; hand to iise skilfully and health to resist disease and enjoy life. He explained that he had not the time to organize the young bovs 4-H club as his time was taken with the older men. He said that he ! needed a full time stenographer in order to organize this club here. Robert Burns was presented with a very suitable gift from the club the new Kiwanian In his home R. P. Burns, Jr. At the business session the club adoDted the recommendation of the public service committee to appoint a committee to cooperate with other organizations of Roxboro in locking forward to the providing of a community building, and to spon sor the organization of 4-H clubs throughout the county. It was decided upon the recom mendation of the public service committee, to forego the usual sup per at its meeting for Christmas week and direct the treasurer to turn over to Miss Price, president of the Young Womans Business Club the amount spent on the sapper' this to be used in supplying the fruits, nuts, and candles to accom panv the toys assembled bv the Boy Scout., to be giv?n t? the ^ children. ? Guests were; Jim A. Vaughn, H.I ,K. Sanders, Carl L. Bowen, Thomas Julckel of Durham, and Cecil Wil- ! son of Winston-Salem. 1 I IV. J. O'Briant Is Claimed By Death i 1 W. J. O'Briant, "50-year-old Per- j son county resident, died at his ' i home live miles east of Roxboro 1 Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock : following a heart attack. Surviving in addition to his wid ow, Mrs. Vergle O'Briant, are five son?. Baxter O'Briant, of Hot | Springs, N.

Crossley Morgan, who will conduct a series of services here | beginning Sunday, January 7th. TOBACCO MARKET CLOSED FOR THE XMAS HOLIDAYS Will Open Again On Tuesday, January 9th; Sales Total Three Million Pounds SEASON AVERAGE GOOD In many respects this has been the most satisfactory season the market ?has had in a number of years; last year you will remember the tobacco crop in this County was a failure, both as to quality and quantity. This year the crop was a full crop, and the quality the best for a number of years, the result being that the farmers have receiv ed a very satisfactory price. True, it has not been a high price, but the price was such as to enable al most every farmer in the County to make a reasorable profit on his labor. The market has sold three million pounds at an average of practically $18.00, which is nearly three times what it sold for in 1932. The ware- ( housemen are confidently predicting that the market will sell five mil lion pounds this year, which if Just half of the goal set by our boosters before the market opened. We believe nearly every. one now admits that no on has really made any tflolMy by selling Person county ' tobacco on any other market, for ( the price has consistently been as: high here as elsewhere. This is no bull, but simply facte, and nearly all unbiased men will admit it.; With , such being true we believe the1 time is not far distant when the i Roxboro market will again be "con- 1 sidered one of the big markets ? and it should be. REV. F. C. MORGAN WILL CONDUCT SERIES Of MEETINGS HERE ? ___ First Service Sunday, Jan. 9th, At The Baptist Church CHUECHES COOPERATING Rev. P. Crossley Morgan, D. D? distinguished son of the great Dr. Campbell Morgan, will conduct a series of services for the Churches of Roxboro during the week begin ning with the flrst Sunday in Jan uary. Dr. Morgan will come to Roxborq upon the invitation of the pastors of the Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian Churches, fie #ill preach morning and evening on Sunday, January 7 at the Baptist Church, ifi both of which services of worship the congregations of the Methodist and Presbyterian Church es will unite With the Baptist Church. Every afternoon in the week up to and including Friday, the services will be held in the Presfcyterian Church. The evening services, after Sunday wil be held in the Edgar Long Memorial Meth odist Church. I Dr. Morgan's last pastorate was in Augusta, Ga., where^ his home now is. So great and insistent were the demands made upon him for religious conference work and the conduct of meetings outside his own city that he resigned his pastorate about t*o years ago in order to de vote his entire time to this wider ministry of the Word. It is very significant that on this flrst Sundan in a new Anno Domini e Christian forces of Roxboro ould give this fresh testimony of the close and cordial relations which exist between the several churches of the city. And all those who know of Dr. P. Crossley Morgan believe that the people of Roxboro are especially fortunate in having such a man deliver the messages from that Book and on that Gospel through which all people are drawn in a unity of faith which transcends every apparent division. o Eld win Winstead ' Buried At Concord Mr. Edwin Wipstead, who died at his home ip Raleigh some time Monday night, was buried at Con cord Church this: afternoon. Mr. Winstead was a native of this coun ty and had lived here prior to mov ing to Raleigh where he has lived for many years. He had been ill for some time prior to his death, and while death comes as a distinct shock to his family* and friends, it was not altogether unexpected. Mr. Winstead was the brother of Mrs. I. G. Stephens of this county.

MENTEM AT LONG MEMORIAL METHODIST CHURCH Annual Christmas Tree And Entertainment Will Be Given Tonight The annual Christmas entertain ment, initiated last Christmas at. Long Memorial Methodist Church, will be presented on Wednesday; night of this week, Dec. 20, in the main auditorium of the church. To this Christmas program the people of the entire community are cordially invited.

Santa Claus will be present to greet everybody and will have something for all the children of the three Sunday schools fourteen years of age and under, who are present at the entertainment. The feature of the evening that will doubtless bring the most Christ mas inspiration is the .pageant of the Nativity, which will be brought by a number of the young people of the town, under the direction of Dr. and Mrs. A. P. Nichols. Dr. Robert Long is general chair man of trie committee having in charcte the program.. Other members of the committee ^re: Christmas tree, Mr, and Mrs. Roger Wilkerson, Jr.; Santa CRaus and gifts, Mr. and Mrs. O. B. McBrofltn; Pageant, Dr. and Mrs. A. P.

Howard Young as chairman, the Person County chapter of the Nat; ional Red Cross raised fifty dollars in its annual drive. This was far short of the quota for Person coun ty, and it is the purpose of the [chapter to make another drive some time in the early spring to raise the amount that has been as signed to this county. This is a worthy cause and with its selection ,of Mr. Young to lead and direct | the campaign for funds, Person County should certainly come through -with flying colors, o Crowded Out We have been forced to leave out several matters of interest to our readers, but the truth is the little folks have swamped us jhis week; but we have no apology to make, for these children have right of way. even though it necessitates leaving out some paid matter. ??? o . ?

Va. ., | Christmas Club Campaign Will Close Friday Night At 8 O'clock; Few Hours Left < Robi. Burns Talks To Providence Farmers Robert Burns, Roxboro attorney, was a special guest of the Prov idence Farmers Club at an oyster supper last Friday night. Mr. Burns made a very interesting talk in which he stressed the importance of dealing square with your fellow ma rv He also congratulated the farmers in having an organization through which they might make a better community. E. M. Young, sec.-treas. of the club, reported that over thirty-eight dollars had been subscribed to the club house. Twenty dollars has been paid in to date. The club will hold its next meet ing Fr!day night, J&nuary 12, at 7 o'cock. o ; v A Happy Farmer # Our good friend, Mr. C. J. Clay ton, of Timberlake, R. 2, is one farmer who has Just cause for be ing happy. He favored us with a call and after renewing for The Courier stated that was the last dollar he owed any man. He said his tobacco for the year 1932 brought him Just $68.00, and he did not see how it would be possible to make another crop, but he and his good wife talked th? Jfcatter over, and de cided * would wear patches rather tftfcn go into debt, save for Actual necessities; he borrowed from the government to make his crop this year, and while he has not sold all of it, he has sold enough to pay off all indebtedness, and now he can look his fellowman in the face and feel that he is his own man. ; o Gecrsre W.

To The Members Entirely, So Finish High And Get Big Pay Or Fall Down And Get Paid Ac cordingly Calls for additional receipt books this week indicate real action among leaders. A big finish is predicted. If you have planned to win be sure your competitor does not nose you out in the last few hours. They're now on the home stretch. After weeks of strenuous efforts on the part of ambitfous workers, who have been striving aealously in quest of subscriptions and votes, they see victory just ahead of them. With closing time a few hours off, the curtains will have to come down upon one of the most far-reaching cash offer subscription campaigns ever conducted in this part of North Carolina. . ~ Hundreds and hundreds of NEW subscriptions have been fedded to THE COURIER list ? come to stay, we hope, permanently. It Won't Be Long All is anxiety as the candidates pound down the home stretch, vic ing with each other to reach the wire first in The Courier Christmas Club Cash Offer Campaign, which means highest honor to the winners. Nothing in life worth while is ever gained without effort, and while all cannot win an automobile in The Courier campaign, the business experience gained, the friends made, will be of inestimable value In later years. With the rich awards hanging in the balance, all candidates are waging a furious battle of ballots which will eiwl at 8 p. m., Friday, December 22nd. If you are expecting to win an automobile or big cash award in The Courier campaign, it is up to you alone to have more votes than your competitor. Work hard ? vic tory is Just ahead. The doors of the campaign office will close promptly at 8 :00 p. m., on Friday, Dec. 22, and no one will be per mitted to enter after that time to turn in votes and subscriptions. f The .iudges or their representa tives will be on hand to see that the cam oaten is closed in accord - ienoe with the rules. Those who are in the campaign office when the doors are closed will be permitted sufficient time to prepare their sub scriptions and votes and place them in the sealed ballot box which will be placed in the campaign office the last day of the campaign. Junior Class Play Draws Large Crowd Last Friday night Roxboro and community were given one of the finest treats that it has been our pleasure to witness in a long time. This was the play, "Here Comes Patricia," put on by the Junior class of Roxboro high school. The actors ' and actresses looked as though they might have been bom to act. Every one of them carried out their part in the best maimer possible. When we consider that these folks have had very little ex perience on the strike, they deserve all the <$?dtt that we ean give them. Also it shows a great amount of work on the part of the direc tors, Misses. Mary Heater and Trxya Morris, both members of the high scnooi I acuity. Plenty At Stake . -o
