Dr. Schraub Interspersed a is remarks witltpccasiohal wit and uimor so as to attract and hold the attention of the younger people, out was nevertheless thoroughly rnioyed by his entire audience. \mong his jokes he quoted: "A school teacher once asked a ooy to make a sentence with ana!-, y-pe in it. 'I he. boy taxed: his thinking capacity to the fullest ex tent. Finally he said that his sis :er said that the boys did not make love to her, but Oh, how Aina-lies". The King’s Messengers band of Belhaven furnished splendid music for the occasion, completing their selections with "America". The opening address for the af ternoon was delivered by Dr. Kil gore of Raleigh, and in his address he emphasized his subject "Our people without a vision", saying any being without a vision perished and never did get very far. After this address Miss Emma Gray Morehead, home demonstration agent made a short talk and gave a splendid play, “The 4 H. Sprites”, the characters presenting same be ing the nine young ladies who went to Raleigh to take the short course. The play was exceptionally good, and w'as also presented by the same cast during their stay in Raleigh. Only three counties of the state were chosen to present the plays given by the club girls and we feel proud that Washington county was one of them. Miss Lossie Hardison, president of the girls' dub of Plymouth, gave a wonderful account of her trip and the course while at Raleigh. Aside from reflecting much credit upon themselves these young ladies’ ac complishments are a great compli rreju to Miss Morehead.
