The County Commissioners for Halifax, in regular session Monday, ordered an election to be held throughout the county, Tuesday, November 14th, 1911, for the pur pose of allowing the people to vote on the question of issuing three hundred thousand dollars worth of bonds for the public roiid improve ment. The last legislature passed a law for this county allowing the com missioners the power to call this election. The proposition is now up to the voters of Halifax county as to what they will do with the good roads question. The time is short between now and the election, so let every body get busy and be ready to vote in an inteligent niar-iie: va the 14th day of November. Essex Items. The Round Taio CItiS. Reported for The Commonwealth. Mrs. Gerson Hoffman delightfully entertained the Round Table Club Saturday afternoon frm four until six o'clock. The meeting was called to order by the president, Miss M. II. Smith. The year books for this year were given out. The Club this year will study Scotland. The papers for the afternoon were Macbeth and Lady "Macbeth, by Miss Mary II. Smith, and an outline of the play, by Miss Bettie Hill. These papers were carefully prepared and very inter esting. Mrs. W. H. Josoy read the discussion on Current Events and gave some interesting facts. After a general discussion by the club, a delicious salad course with coffee was served by Misses Stella Hoffman, Cornelia and Louise Josey. Mrs. Hoffman proved a charming hostess and the meeting was enjoyed by every one present. Those present were: Mesdames Chas. Albertson, A. L. Purrington, J. B. Aiken, H.I. Clark, Shep Bowers, W. II. Jor.ey, ! E. T. Whitehead, G. Hoffman, Jari Bowers. Misses M. H. Smith, Mar garet Bowers, McCoach, Elanor Smith. Left out last week. Essex, N. C, Sept. 25.

First Evalng Gf fta Lyceum Course. Reported for The Commonwealth. On Friday evening, in the auditor ium of the graded school the initial number of the Lyceum Course was presented. On this occasion, the "Vassar Girls" gave a concert, scarcely to be surpassed, in the va riety of instruments represented, in taste in selections or in skill. Each member of the program is deserving of special comment, and where the standard of excellence in so consistently maintained it i as dif ficult to choose the more exedient, as to distinguish and divide a Uvixt south and south-west cid?, but per sonally, it seems to me (if, it is not partiality for the pieceo themselves) the rendering of "The Last Rose of Summer" and of "Where the River Shannon Flows" wrere the crowning achievements of the evening. "The Last Rose of Summer" was a cornet solo and was given with ex quisite taste and that simplicity which is the highest achievement of art. ' Another noteworthy feature cf the entertainment was an Hawaiian song given by Sftxaphono. This music of a semi-civilized peop'c n:ust have come as a great surprise to a thoughtful English speaking audience for it had none of the mo notonus wild, weird vnh?.?m prized "tcm-torn" effect, which one natur ally expects from such a source. On the contrary the rnusi-i wa:j dtliht fully harmoeous and not unlike an English hymn with its insistent ap pealing touch of melancholy. Any account of the evening which failed to note the artistic literary work of Miss Piatt would 1 e sadly incomplete. Her recitations were, indeed, highly finished productions and most pleasingly varied tbe musi cal program. Owing to the fact that our thea tre was also open that night, the audience was not large. It was however, enthusiastic and undenia bly representative of the intelligence and taste of the community. There will be four more evenings in the series, and as the course offers entertainment of a higher order than it is usually possible to enjoy in the town, it is to be hoped a large number will avail themselves of the privilege of attending the four re maining numbers of the Lyceum Cours?. The newspapers and medical jour nals recently have had much to say rektive to a famous millionaire's offer of a million dollars for a new stomach. This great multi-millionaire was too busy to wrorry about the condi tion of his stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia to run from bad to worse until in the end it became incurable. His misfortune servos as a warn ing to others. Every one who suffers with dys pepsia for a few years will give everything he own:.; for a new stom ach. Dyspepsia is commonly caused by an abnormal state cf the gastric juices, or by lack of tone in the walls of the stomach. The result is that the stomach loses its power to di gest food. We are now able to supply certain missing elements to help to restore to the gastric juices their digestive power, and to aid in making the ctomach strong and well.' v We know that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are a most dependable rem edy for disordered stomachs, indi gestion and dyspepsia. We want you to try them and will return your money if you are not more than satisfied with the result. Three size., 25 cents, 50 cents, and SI. 00.
