After roll call and reading of the minutes the chairman of the book committee, Mrs. E. V. Wood ard, was called on for a report. She stated that the new books had come and would be distributed to the members. Slips of paper deco rated with hand painted purple iris, were passed to each guest and they were asked to draw their home. Some talent was displayed but more grotesque imitations, which caused much laughter. Mrs. E. O. Wood was given the prize for the best drawing. The next con test consisted of thirty misspelled words which when rearranged prop erly spelled the names of articles of furnitue for a home. In this the first prize went to Mrs. Wil liam Creech and the consolation to Mrs. J. I- Short of Fremont.

Unique Collection of Money Mr. T. R. Hood has a unique collection of money, unique par ticularly for its age. A silver half dollar made in 1805 is the oldest piece in his collection. Hhis shows only thirteen stars, representing the 13 colonies. Lettering on the edge of the coin is almost worn smooth. He has another silver fif ty cents, made in 1824, a couple of i silver quarters and several old “coppers.” Perhaps the most in teresting money in the lot are four paper United States hank notes. Two of these are ten-cent bank notes, two arc fifteen cent bills, and one is a fifty-cent bill. They were known in the old days as “shin plasters” The coloring and design in general are somewhat like paper money now in use. The size, however, varies considerably The ten and fifteen cent bills measure about one and a half by two and a half inches, while the fifty-cent note is about one and a half by three inches. Some of the older citizens who have seen the collection well remember when similar coins were in general cir culation after the war. The money in the collection is now worth face value, but Mr. Hood is of the opin ion that as a curiosity it is worth considerably more than face val ue. He is keeping it as a relic to be handed down to his children and grandchildren. Willoughby-Parish Maried at the court house here Saturday afternoon at four o’ clock by Justice of the Peace D. T.

This school has j made rapid progress in the past few years, most of the money com ing from the sale of old clothes which have been given the school by friends and well wishers from every section of the state. The fol lowing letter from Mrs. Mary M Sloop, business manager, explains | the present needs of the school: “Dear Editor: “Again may we ask that you donate space in your columns for the following: “Our second hand clothes sale has kept upp better this summer than any previous summer and we feel that it is largely due to the space which the newspapers of our State so kindly gave us in June but I fear that our people are for getting us once more and so we are asking that you remind them once more to send us clothes. “We are simply overwhelmed with boarding pupils this term and are having to buy double decker beds in order to house them. We must provide work for each ot' these boarders for we take only j those who need to be self support ing. It all depends upon the quan tity and quality of clothes which you send us this winter, and we ; urge you to send all you possibly ; can and as much as you possibly I can. "Also will you appeal through your columns for Auto Knitters which were used during the war by the Red Cross and others to knit for the soldiers? We have not the money with which to buy these machines, but if they can j be given to us, each one will make j it possibl efor a boy or girl to : become self supporting. “Please ‘act promptly for our need is very urgent. “Crossnore, N. C.” Bridgers-Talton JVIr. Alston Bridgers and Miss Neta Talton, both of Princeton, were quietly maried at- the Meth odist parsonage Saturday after noon about three o’clock. Rev. A. J. Parker, pastor of Centenary j Methodist church, performed the ceremony. Friends of these young i people join in wishing them a \ long and happy life.

P. perform- j ing the ceremony. The groom was j eighteen years of age and the | bride fourteen, and a special li- j cense was issued under Chapter 73 | Laws 1923. Friends of these young j couple wish them a happy and prosperous life. OROND LETTER FIGl'RE IN TRIAL (Continued from page one) simply tried to let you know the relation that had existed between your daughter and myself. Realiz ing as I do just her position I think it nothing but right and just to her and your family for me to clear my skirts as a man, by mak ing this my last effort to inform you of our relations and leave the matter with you. I am honest in coming to you, and all my state ments are true from my heart, I will feel better knowing that I have been honest with you. “There is no hatred or malice Wanted 451 at Sunday School Next Sunday What does the First Day of the Week mean to you? Is it the Holy Sabbath Day, simply Sunday, or just the week end? The Methodist Church invites you to let it mean the Holy Sab bath Day by attending its Sunday School. If you have been a faithful member be there on RALLY DAY. If you have been an indifferent mem bere start all over on RALLY DAY. If you have never been a member a cor dial welcome awaits you on RALLY DAY. Sunday School opens at 9:30 and Spe cial Exercises begin at 10:30 continu ing for an hour. No sermon. at' all on my part toward you or any of the family, but when I see Libbut’s future and your home at stake it does not make me mad when you all treat me with con tempt, but I have a feeling of pity knowing what might happen if the facts were uncovered, it is for your family I am writing this. “I haven’t any hard feelings to ward you for this, but still you do not realize what you have done to her. I am only pleading for her sake, what would she feel like marying some one after we have had relations as man and wife for over a year, she would be miser able all her life as she is now. I know she is putting up a bold front, but down in her heart she does not know what to do, and you need not be surprised at what sjje might do. “It is for your sake that I am giving the facts in the case. If we had not done what we have through devoted love for each oth er, I would have dropped the mat ter when) she told me, but I think enough of the family to save it from exposure. “In your estimation I know what you think of me but it was not all together my fault, ‘Bill I love you enough to do anything and we are going to get married soon,’ ‘Do you think I would do this if I did not love you Bill,’ As I see it we have committed no sin except to society. “You did not show her the first letter I wrote you. I doubt if you had that heart to heart talk with her. I would be glad to know that the weight on her heart was lift ed, you have no idea what she is going through with, trying to please you. “It is very evident to me during my last visit to town that the whole family hated me, still at the same time I felt sorry for them, they not knowing the facts. “I hope you take this in the same spirit in which it is writ ten. “Sincerely, BILL ORMOND.” Dr. J.
