Wells; stage manager F. H. Brooks, impersonated by Miss Vara Sanders; the baby show, the style show, the beauty queens contest and coronation, and the rooster act. The club cleared a neat little sum for its treasury. Baptist Sunbeams Enjoy Picnic at “The Pines”. The Sunbeams of the Smithfield Baptist church enjoyed a delightful picnic last Friday afternoon at “The Pines”, on the Raleigh road a mile from town. About 60 boys and girls went attended by their leaders and a few mothers, and by Mr. W. H. Las siter, superintendent of the Sunday school, and by Rev. and Mrs. S. L. Morgan, these feeling an special in terest and pride in the missionary or ganizations of the church. Some of the party drove, and some preferred |o hike to this beautiful spot known as “The Pines”, at the intersection of the Wilson’s Mills road with the highway. The entire party felt grate ful that Mr. W. M. Gaskin, with an eye to the beautiful, has seen fit to spare these lovely trees. To the old er members of the party, the chil dren seemed indeed like sunbeams, lovelier than those that filtered down through the green and fragrant pines to the beautiful brown carpet below. Like real sunbeams the girls in their colors flitted about on their play ground, while the boys on their ground were enjoying in turn base ball, stories and lemonade. Ending the happy afternoon, all enjoyed a delicious supper together. The other members of the party felt special thanks were due their lead er, Mrs. Henry Johnson, and her as sistants, Mrs. R. S. Fleming and Miss Lucy Rhodes, and also to Mr. Johnson and Mr. Lassiter, who quenched the thirst of the tired hi kers with such an abundance of lem onade. (The party venture to suggest to Mr. Gaskin, owner of “The Pines” that he -would render Smithfield a very grateful service, b«**h in his own and* s ucceeding generations, if he would plant more trees and enlarge and beautify the present little grove into such a park as is one of' the real needs of our town at about this dis tance. Doubtless the town, if at all alert to its needs, could be interested in helping to finance such an enter prise.) ® Miss Talton Wins Medal Another name was added to the long list of Johnston County girls and boys who have won high honors at college, when Miss Lucy Oliver Talton, accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Talton, of Smithfield, was awarded the coveted “Bryant Medal” at the Conservatory of Music in Durham, this medal being awarded Miss Talton for best all rodnd work and accomplishment in voice during the past year. From early childhood Miss Talton has taken a deep interest in music, singing in the choir of her church since she was eight years of age. Upon completing her studies at the High School in Selma last year, she was found capable of taking third year work at the Conservatory, and in the contest won out over those who had had the advantage of two years college work. Not only in music, but as an all round student ,Miss Talton has al ways stood at the head in all phases of school life. At the Selma High School, from which she graduated in 1924, she was the winner of the De claimer’s Medal in 1922 and the De bater’s Medal in 1923; and represent ed her school as a debater in the Tri-angular High School Debates in both 1923 and 1924. In addition to her school activities Miss Talton has always found time to devote herself to social and reli gious duties and to the welfare work of the community in which she lived. It is the girls of this character that Smithfield and Johnston County are justly proud of.
