Throughout the South in many pla ces the occasion was fittingly observ ed by the delivery of addresses on the life and character of the South's great chieftain. This week we have 'received two communications in which the writer forgot to enclose his name. As many times as we have stated in our col umns that we do not publish articles unless we know the name of the wri ter it seems that it would be entire ly useless to repeat it. All such ar ticles find a ready and an easy path to the waste basket. Tuesday was the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Edgar Allan Poe, America's greatest poet. The time is coming when Poe will be recognized as one of America's greatest geniuses and be accorded his rightful place in the literary his tory of the country. THE HERALD has two very interesting articles on the "Poe Centenary," one of which it hoped to publish this week but other matter crowded it out. i Pleasant Event at Smithfield. One of the most enjoyable even- 1 Ings of the season took place In 1 Smithfield, Monday evening, Jan. 18, 1 when Miss Nannie Underwood enter- 1 tained quite a number of her friends ' at her home at "Sugar Hill." The color scheme, green and! white, 1 was tastefully carried out in the 1 decorations of the separate rooms, ' holly and potted plants being used. 1 The guests were welcomed at the ' front door by Miss Mallie Underwood 1 and ushered into the parlor where ! they played many interesting and delightful games. Refreshments were served by Misses Nannie Underwood a^d Mattie Wellons. The hour of parting came all too soon, but each present had enjoyed the occasion and declared Miss Underwood the most charming of hostesses. Those present were Misses Eloise Martin, Mattie Wellons, Mary Tom Unson, May Moore, Lula Smith, Car rie Hyman. Addie and Florence John son, Marion Oliver, Annie Peacock, Mabel Byrd. Lily Smith, Hinnah Jones, Lily Barbour, and Pearl Steph enson: Messrs. Johnle Hood. George V >u, Lewis Paylor, Milton McGuire. Bernice Jones, Lee Sanders, Ed. and \ Hubert Woodall.

Hla t wife died about two years ago. Pistol Ball Cut Out. Mr. Joe Johnson who was accident ally shot on Christmas day in the yard of Mr. Buck Talton, two miles from here, was brought home several days ago and is about well of the wound. The ball struck one of his ribs and then had force enough left to go nearly through his body. It lodged nnder the right shoulder about three fourths of an inch from the skin. Last Monday he sat in a chair and leaning forward had the ball cut out by Dr. Wharton. The ball got badly battered when it struck the rib. Mr. Johnson will keep the ball as a relict. It having gone entirely through his body. New Junior Council at Polenta. Smithfield Council No. 102, Jr. O. U. A. M. instituted a new council at Polenta Academy Wednesday night with 25 members.
