We understand that the matter of tearing down the shelters over the sidewalks of the town has been brought to the attention of the Board of Town Commissioners. We do not hesitate to say that we believe these shelters?some of them unsightly in appearance?should come down. Noth ing would add more to the good looks of the business part of town than the removal of these shelters and replacing them with awnings. The fire department knows how hard it is to successfully fight a fire in a buiidinc v.hose front is ornamented with one of these shelters. Let them come down. Big Fish Fry and Moonlight Picnic. The most enjoyable occasion of the season was the big fish-fry and moonlight picnic at Holt's pond Wed nesday evening. Several of our en ergetic young men got together, and after deliberating for a short while decided that since there were so many fish in the pond and so easily caught and the moonlight nights so beautiful it would be treating the gentler sex unfair if they did not plan a big fish fry for them in re turn for the many pleasant entertain ments they had given during the win ter months. So it was unanimously decided that a fish fry was the proper thing and at once all hands set to work to make the occasion a great success. The ladies when informed of the plans very generously and willingly consented to prepare baskets, that none who went might not enjoy a big feast, for every one knows how uncertain catching fish is; for al though there are plenty of them they will not always bite. As there are always in every com munity those who have short stories to tell, interesting only when told to one at the time, and more interesting on moonlight nights, so is it in ours. Such being the case several drove out in buggies, while two large wag ons carried the others. The crowd reached the pond about eight-thirty where they saw "John Jones," chief cook, and his aids preparing the sup per and saw that they had fish in abundance. By nine-fifteen supper was ready and all partook of the most elegant supper imaginable. After supper all went down on the bridge where they chatted and sang until ten. The chaperones then de clared it was time to go home. The teams were hitched and the party began its homeward trip, all declar ing they had spent the most enjoy able evening in many days. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Skinner, Mrs. F. H. Brooks, Misses Annie Martin, Annie McGuire, Bettie Lee and Lucy Sanders, Ava, Ella and Amelia Myatt, Flossie and lone Abell, Rosa and Annie Peacock. Carrie Hyman, Alma Easom, Crecy Morgan, Annie Ihrie Pou, Lucy Phares, Lillle Watson, Katie Woodall Corrie Palmer, and Miss Hoskins, of Charlotte. Messrs. Jobnie and Hallie Hood, Walter Parrish. Ed Boyett, J. A. Campbell, Jesse Adams, of Four Oaks, Carl Sanders, A. M. Noble, Mayo Bailey, Boyce Hargett, Lee i Sanders, Tom Daniel, Hubert Wood all, Bud Hyman, Robert Hyman, Ransom Sanders, Walter Ives, Dr. A. H. Rose, R. R.

Mr. Clarence H. Poe Will Speak In Smithfield Opera House Next Monday Night. Mr. Clarence H. Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, and one of the foremost young men of the State, will address the people of Smithfield next Monday night at the Opera House. His subject will be "How .an we build up North Carolina and the South?" There will be no ad mission charged?It is free to all, and it is hoped that the Opera house will be full. As a thinker and writer and as a student of our economic and Industrial life Mr. Poe has no supe rior, if age be considered, in the en tire South. His address will be worth hearing and no citizen of Smithfield and ct, mnunity who loves the upbuilding of his homeland can afford to miss it. A Card From Mr. Jordan.
