Road Work Progressing. The. apparent delay in road work which was evident' to every one last fall when the weatherw as so bad, has assumed an entirely different aspect. Rapid progress Is being made at pres ent Most of the right away has been cleared off and the hands are busy at present, vet making "fills," building bridges and drainage work, v TThe work in this section is under the supervision of Charles Weaver, who, hails from Alabama. That people were able to find work on the road through here has been a great help. ' In these times of almost universal depression the dollars f om: , . - i. ' v i corned. ' Corned, Church Services.

Moore County to the Front The road authorities are now pro ceeding to link up Hallison with the state highway. It will also connect with the road leading from Highfalls, Bennett, Asheboro and Greensboro, At what point the Hallison road will enter into the main highway has not yet been definitely decided, but- it is thought that the point will be on the west side of Richland creek.. Most of the Greensboro and Asheboro traffic will be on this road. A handbook concerning improved roads preparedi n 1914 gives Moore county 320 miles of this character, or fourth place among the counties o' the state. In proportion to population it is absolutelv in first place. When the present road building program isc om pleted we may take higher standing. This fact should be a source of gratifi cation to every citizen in the county, RICHARDSON STILL BUSY. S. B. Richardson is still busy , at Weymouth Heights. Three or four more locations were sold last week, among the number being1 one1 to Dr, E. F.Cady, of Goshen, N: Y. The doctor will build a nice home on the ridge shortly. -His site is not 'far from a large new house that Mrs. Dill now has under way.

( Sergeant Hewitt Gitieh By Members of plf lh ' Southern Pine! Confidence ill One of the best things about Southct ern Pines is the confidence the peoplf over there have in their future. The one sentiment , regarding ,, the fire j - .-.. ,..- i I i.ii xi i i I i jolt, especially to those who have suf fered the losses, it is only the begin ning of a big culmination of improve ment that will make a new town of the capital of the Sunshine belt. While the firemen were still on the job with streams of water on the burning masses Harry Lewis, one of the biggest losers, was putting up a sign notifying people that the store across the railroad was all ready for business, and as his employes came down the street he told them to get over to the other place. Trucks were despatched to the wholesale grocery at Aberdeen for stock,. and by eight or nine o'clock- his force was weighing out supplies to customers as actively as if nothing had happened. Talking about the fire Mr. Lewis said, "We will proceed just as fast as we can to get a new building on the ground, and while- it will take some little time to find out where we stand,' and what is the best to do,' this thing is only a temporary hurt. We are going to make it an opportunity to give Southern Pines the kind of a business place that will help to make up for what has been lor.t, and it will be a winner." ' Mr. Perkins spoke in the. same tone as Mr. Lewis, and Mrs. Perkins, who had many, callers, was 'as decisive as ever in her faith in the future and News Notes; (By D. R. Mclver.) Glendon, April 19. The concert at the graded, school Friday night was attended' by about two hundred peo ple from far and near, and they all seemed to enjoy it. We heard such expressions as "If was just splendid" and "Best I ever saw at Glendon," etc. Among those attending were Dr. and Mrs. Joe Davis, Mrs. , Cleve Shaw, Miss PegTam, Annabell Shields, Will nr J- j . m .it ' ttj . n uuuy ana luiuuy irum nigniaunj Tracy Parks and family from Halli son; Mr. and Mrs. John Matthews, Will Harrington and family, Oswald Alexander and others from near Mc Rae's school house; Misses Kate and Margaret Phillips, of Carthage:. Eli Davis of Putnam and numerous ath ers. There were about thirty num bers on the program. Probably the most popular . exercise was "The Fairies," led by Sallle Phillips- Queen, and Estehr Reynolds as the Princess, with several small girls as fairies, and 'Alton Johnson as Thistle Skin; Josephine Johnson, as his sis ter, Arthur Paschal as attendant on .

".'" v ' Militaru Burial the American Legion 4- a , On Sunday afternoon at Southern Pines under the direction of the local American .Legion 4 funeral services were held over Sergeant William G. Jtewitt,-a jMoore county soldier who fell in Trance. In accordance with lithe desire of many of those whose soldier dead ' were buried in France tlie government has been bringing !many of "the men home, and among the number was Sergeant Hewitt. , .After exercises . at the Baptist church, the Legion with some repre sentatives of the army from Camp Bragg, took charge and a military funeral, was carried out with a firing squad at the' grave and the taps of the bugfe.' Many soldiers were pres ent, from Carthage, Aberdeen, Pine hurst and surrounding towns ' and communities,' and the friends and cit izens at. the church and cemetery are thought tc have exceeded a thousand. Billy .Hewitt enlisted in the Na tional Guard before the war had com menced and was called cut for duty On the Text's border when the trouble threatened there. He was later as- ' signed to the Thirtieth Division' and Vtnt to France early in the game. He was killed in action on the Belgium frontier, and buried there with others Of his comrades. He was a young fel low who, had an army of friends, in the service and in civil life. His peo pie live in Southern Pines. i' : ' Residents Have Town's Future her intention to take a new grip on the situation. The others affected talk in the same strain. They are all determined that out of this disaster shall dome something enough bigger buuu uuiue BuiueimuK enuuga Digger m -rt' -2i i . i .i, i 'i nre win not be a ceaaener, out a greater stimulus than was ever seen in this section. The general expectation of the peo ple the day after the fire was that as fast as arrangements can be made to plan what is best for the burned ter ritory and money can be provided to finance the development, a block of buildings far surpassing anything else in the town will be agreed on, and made ready for the earliest pos sible occupation. Another feature about the fire over there is the readiness with which the people give credit to the firemen. Many names are mentioned in the course of conversation on the subject, but among the rest Frank Buchan, Prillaman, Bill Crane, Pinchon, Dune Cameron, Windham, Pete Bloxham, Walter Blue are mighty conspicuous. The struggle they put up to hold the fire when it was but a few feet from the Congregational Church and the Jefferson Inn are the high points in many a homespun village epic, and appreciative local historians will for a long time dwell on the debt the rest of the town owes the firemen. Bjne hurst and (Jarthage come in for a share of approval, for it is said that had not Pinehurst arrived when it did the fire must have been much more extensive, From Glendon the Queen, Cullom Stutts as the cat erpillar. The reciting, acting, singi'mr of the fairies in costumes appropriate, etc. made a beautiful and impressive scene. The Flag Exercises, Jolly Lit tlo Pickaninnies, Johnny Smoker, i German action song by the boys led by the principal, who also sang and acted "Ginger Blue," a coon song-, and won much applause and praise. Dia logues by Alice Reynolds and Swan- son Cummings, Paul Shields and Ethel Phillips, Lillian Phillip and small children, Mrs. Brown's Visitors and numerous others showed good training and were heard with pleas ure.

McMurray, Highland Church, Fayetteville, sub ject "The Incarnation of Jesus." Scripture verses from- Lukell, John I, and Matt. II, Gal. IIT and V. Topics discussed: When did Christ come?" How did Christ come? Why did Christ come? God chooses, calls, commissions When? Christ came in "the fullness of time" it was prop erly timed. He showed how the Greek language, Roman laws and customs and Jewish, Greek and Roman failures prepared the way for Christ. Christ united humanity and divinity. In his blood he showed Jewish extrac tion ;his geneolbgy shows the blood of Jew and Gentile,' saint and sinner. Why did he come? Redemption Under the law, to redeem those under the law; at a precious price it cost too much to redeem the worTd, that we might become the sons of God.

A suggestion that has been . received from two or three sources is. that instead of a one-story wing on each side of the present building it would be better to put an addition at each end, two stories high, giving more room on both floors, and afford ing jury rooms above as well as offi ces below. This could be done at no grert cost, and by properly planning would be a harmonious addition. Con-, siderable interest is shown in the sub ject, and many opinions are passed on the building, and from all ofthem will come one of these days a scher that will be satisfactory,
