An announcement reading as fol

Dr. Pearce Edwin Griffin
announces
the marriage of his daughter,
Martha
to
Mr. John Lancaster
on Wednesday, the
twenty fourth of February,
One Thousand, Nine Hundred and
Twenty-Six,
Vass, North Carolina.
Mrs. Lancaster is the very popu
lar teacher of English and French in
the Vass-Lakeview high school. Since
coming to Vass from her home in
Georgia, she has won many friends.
Mrs. Lancaster was educated at Wes
leyan College, where she specialized
The program given by the pupils of
the Music Department of the Vass-
Lakeview Public School last Friday
night was the best entertainment of
its kind ever given, or attempted, in
these parts. From the first number,
“We’re Ready To Begin,” to the close
of the musical fairy play, “Midsum-
rner Eve,’* the large audtence was de
lighted at the manner in which stu
dents have responded to the excellent
training they have received in the
Music Department. Every grade in
the school was represented in the pro
gram, from the little tots in the
first grade on through the high school
classes.
Practically every seat in the high
school auditorium was filled and pa
trons of the school were loud in their
praise of Mrs. S. R. Smith, who stag
ed and directed the entire program.
The great success of her undertak
ing is additional proof that we have
talent right here in Moore County
that is as good as can be found any
where.
Some day, it is hoped, Community
and County Fairs will be resumed
in Moore county. When these are
being planned, the promoters can be
assured that it is no longer neces
sary to import high salaried pageant
directors. A small portion of the
amount usually expended for these
features, placed in the hands of Mrs.
Smith, would produce a pageant that
it would not be necessary to apolo
gize for in any community. J. T. C,
