Rev. J. A. Hornaday came down
from Weldon Monday and since then
has been preaching at the Methodist
church in a series of meetings. The
attendance has been interfeared
with sohie on account of rain, but
those who have attended enjoyed
the preaching. Mr. Hornaday is a
very strong preacher.
Mr. Frank Fitzgerald, of New
York, is leading the singing and di-'
recting the music. Mr. Fitzgerald
has a fine voice and he is using it to
good effect.
It is worth your time to hear the
preaching and singing by these two

The hours ot service nave Deen
slightly changed from those an
nounced last week. The day service
is held in the morning for one hour
beginning at 9:30 o'clock and the
evening service begins at 8:00
o'clock.
The first closing exercises of the
Scotland Neck graded school since
the new building was erected, took
place Wednesday evening and Thurs
day of last week. The building
having never been dedicated it was
thought proper to open the com
mencement by presenting the build
ing to the town. This plan was
carried out to good effect.
WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The exercises Wednesday evening
opened by the singing of a hymn,
"Stand up for Jesus," led by a Special
choir, composed of members of the
various church choirs of the town.
Rev. O. L. Powers, pastor of the
Baptist church, then led in prayer.
Next came the formal presentation
ous one. He said that this com
mencement was the centennial of
the old Vine Hill Academy, for in
1812 this school of learning was es
tablished. Mr. Smith closed his in
troductory remarks with a very ap
propriate reference to Governor
Kitchin, saying that he is one of our
own, that his record is clean and
that he is a leader of education.
Governor Kitchin arose to speak
amid loud and prolonged applause.
He first referred to this being his
home town, saying that it had been
nearly twenty-five years since he
went away, but that he was always
glad of an opportunity to get back.
Governor Kitchin spoke for one
hour and his speech was pronounced
the very best and his home people
are glad that he came and delivered
just the message that he did. He
spoke on the "Clearer View of the
Every Day Things of Life." To
prepare our children for the cor
fiicts that make up life by giving
them the very best education possi
ble. He said that it is hard for a
man to love to work, but that we
ought to love to do the right thing
when you don't want to do it. He
closed by appealing to the young
members of his audience to so live

of the building by Mr. Chas. L. Mc
Dowell, chairman of the board of
trustees. Mr. McDowell made a
very appropriate speech and his
friends were surprised to know that
he was such a good speaker. He
referred with feeling to the life
work for the school of the late E. E.
Hilliard, who served as chairman of
the board from the establishment of
the graded school to the day of his
death. Mr. McDowell proposed that
the school establish a library and
that it be known as the E. E. Hil
liard Librr.ry. Seated on the stage
were the other members of the board
of trustees as follows: Wilson Alls
brook, G. Hoffman, J. A. Kitchin,
Stuart Smith, E. T. Whitehead and
A. L. Purrington.
Mayor J. E. Shields, as the repre
sentative of the town, accepted the
building, and he, too, distinguished
himself for the speech he made.
Mr. Ashby Dunn, a former super
intendent of the school, spoke for a
few minutes. Among the good
things he said was his appeal to the
parents to, support the school and
especially standing by the teachers
in their work in the school room.
Prof. C. W. Wilson, the other for
mer superintendent, could not be
present on account of prev'ous en
gagements; His absence was re
gretted. After several songs by the special
choir. Rev. R. W. Anderson, rector
cf Trinity church, read the Scripture
lesson and then followed the commencement-dedication
sermon by
Rev. R. C. Beaman, of Durham, N.
C. Dr. Beaman read the first verses
of the 12th chapter of the book of
Genesis and took as his subject,
"Abraham the Great. Altar Builder."
Dr. Beaman entered at once into the
discussion of his subject, and for one
hour he held the attention of the
large audience. He spoke of Abra
ham as the altar builder saying that
he scored no theories; also of God's
promise to be with him through all
life. He said that any theory of
life that leaves God out is an inevit
able hell. He spoke at length on
the home life and referred with
stress to the way our home life,
business life and everything else is
carried on to-day. That the reason
there are so many disasters, fail
ures, etc., is because God has been
left out almost entirely. He closed
his discourse by referring to life as
a service.
At the close of the sermon Rev.
N. C. Yearby, pastor of the Method
odist church, led in prayer.
