Co vers were laid for more than fifty guests but only about forty were present. A delicious menu in three courses was served by the Volunteer Wesley Class. The program of the evening op ened with an invocation pronounced by Mrs. T. R. Hood, thh- being fol lowed by a song, “To our Mothers,” rendered by the girls. After the first course, Mrs. Thel Hooks made a talk on the “Physical Development of Ad olescent Girls.” Miss Thelma Peedin then read a paper which had been pre pared by Mrs. J. .J. Broadhurst, who was unable to be present, on “Mental Development.” After the second course, Miss Lorene Leonard talked on the spiritual side of a girl’s life, presenting a picture of an ideal wo man with a well-rounded character.

Death of Mrs. Lillie Sellers It is with a sad heart that I at tempt to write a few lines, in memo ry of our dear sister, Mrs. Lillie Mae Sellers, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joel Pittman. Her father preceded her to the grave about two years ago and her mother only about a year ago. She was born November 3, 1891 and died February 8, 1925, mak ing her stay on earth thirty-four years three months, and five days. She was married to Mr. John Sellers sev eral years ago. To this union were born six children, five boys and one girl, all of whom are living. She was a kind and loving mother and wife, a good friend and neigh bor. To know her was to love her. She was in declining health for sev eral months but never gave up until about a week before she died. She suffered more than anyone knew. All was done for her that loving hands could do but none could stay the icy hand of death. God knew best; he giveth and he taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord. Weep not, dear ones, as those that have no hope for we truly hope that she is resting in the arms of Jesus. We know she ' can not come to us but if we will be prepared when our time comes w'e surely can go to her. Oh, what a blessed thought! She was not a mem ber of any church, but wms a strong ! believer in the Primitive Baptist ! faith. She attended church as Tong as her health would permit it. She leaves to mourn their loss a husband, six children, one sister, six brothers, other relatives, nad a host of friends. The funeral services were conducted at Yelviington’s Grove by Elders Wyatt and Cochran, after which her body was laid to rest in the cemetery at the church. Her toils are past, her work is done, And she is fully blesed; She’s fought the fight, the victory won, And entered into rest. Mr. and Mrs. THOS. G. PITTMAN. Mrs. L. G. Alford Passes Away Mrs. L. G. Alford, after several months of suffering, passed away on February 19th at th" home of her parents, Rev. and Mrs. J. K.

HiT z H X M *r) W SC H 2 O w We all loved her so much and regret ted to give her up, but we feel that our loss is her eternal gain, as she said just before she passed away that she was going home. She bore her suffering patiently and with all hopes of eternal life. We feel that we will meet her again in that Happy Land, where we will nev er say good-bye to our loved ones again. She was twenty-three years of age and united with the Pentecostal Ho liness church when she was eleven years old, and has lived a straightfor ward Christian life since. She is survived by a husband, two children, a father, mother, one sister, and four brothers besides a host of friends, who will learn of her death with sorrow, for to know her was to love her. She was tenderly laid to rest in the Woodall burying ground, Friday, February 20. No funeral services were held. Why should we mourn departed friends , And fear at death’s alarm? 'Twas but a voice that Jesus sent To call her to his arms. And he will some day call fo^U3 To live with her on high, (*p Where there’s no sickness, pain or woe, And we shall never die. A COUSIN. l‘‘The Flapper Grandmother’” To Be Given In Kenly Kenly, March 6.—“The Flapper Grandmother” is an excellent show and will be put on by the best local talent. It is not only spectacular and spontaneous but full of screams in the form of uncontrollable laughter. In fact, it is so funny that even the Old Hard-boiled Folks wind up the evening by calling for “Pain-Killer” to rub on their aching sides. This play, which has given so much satisfaction in the way of good en tertainment where it has been pre sented, will be given in the audito rium of the Kenly High School on Tuesday evening, March 17, under the auspices of the Woman’s Club. The director of the comedy will arrive Saturday, March 7, and intensive practicing will begin at once.
