Home Coming Program
At Christian Church
On 85th Anniversary
? ' ' i mmi ' .
Hundreds Will Visit
Historic Antioch Sun
day, Sept 13, for Cele
bration.
The members and friends of the
First Christian Church will agawnhlc
in large numbers next Sunday to
celebrate the 85th anniversary of the
founding of the church.
The pioneers of the work here in
cluded the Barretts, Bynums, Mays,
Moyes, Langs and others, who with
great faith in God and the church
met here eighty-five years ago and
organized this church. It has con
tinued to serve this community re
ligiously ever since. The present
membership numbers 275. The church
has an educational program of grad
ed Sunday school lessons, senior and
junior endeavor societies, a Women's
Council and services twice each
- ? 1 - aKtta
- Lord's Lay. ,U IS very rnuui .
and friendly.
The program for the Homecoming
and Celebration include special
music by Mrs: Knott Proctor, soloist,
and a special sermon on "The Family
of God" by the pastor.
At the noon hour, dinner will be
spread under the great oaks and
friendship ties will be renewed and
strengthened, and new resolves
made to be true to the "Faith of Our
Fathers."
The church, located on the corner
of Main and Church streets, was or
ganized in 1854, and has continued
its active service ever since, its con
tribution to the community being in
calculable. The church was 18 years
old when the town was incorporated
in 1872.
The lot where the present church
stands was given by J. W. May,
grandfather of Miss Tabitha DeVis
conti .and Mrs. B. S. Sheppard.
Among those who helped to erect the
first church building were J. W.
May, Sherrod Belcher, William Joy
ner and W. G. Lang. The first
church was known as Antioeh.
It has been favored by having- a
fine personnel from the beginning,
and some of the great pioneer
preachers, Revs. Josephus Latham,
Isaac Chestnut, Gideon Allen, Peter
Hinea and George W. Joyner.
The present edifice was erected in
1909 under the ministry of C. Manly
Morton, who is now serving as a
missionary in Puerto Rico.
The church now has seating capa
city for about 400 and accommoda
tions for 800 in Sunday School.
Rev. C. B. Mashburn, the present
pastor, waa recalled nine years ago
to tU% pastorate after an absence of I
15 y ears. J< ?

ried the seven feet four inches and
308 pounds of J. T. Scott into the
North Carolina exhibit of the New

And, according to the hostesses at

, - . W Ml ?<. ?
Raleigh, September 7. ? Prices
jumped here yesterday on
such staple foodstuffs as floor, su
gar, fatback and other food products^
leading many residents to stock up j
several weeks' supplies of them and
causing at least one merchant to
institute a "rationing" system un
der which he declined to sell more
than 100 pounds of sugar to a cus
tomer. ?
Along with the rise in prices
charged consumers went higher
prices to virtually all producers but
tobaoco temsrs. Their prices con
tinued to be far below those of last
year and* generally, lower than those
paid last Friday, the last sales be
fore declaration of war in Europe.
Hog Prices Rise
Tar Heel hog producers -received
the year's best price of $8 per 100
pounds in Rocky Mount and $8.25 in
Fayetteville and Elizabeth City yes
terday. A. B. Harless of the State
Department of Agriculture attribut
ed the advance to the war.
Harless said top prices, for choice
hogs of 160 to 226 poupds, still were
ranging below the price-setting Chi
cago market where the maximum
was $9.40. Tar Heel markets added
90 cents to $1.25 per 100 pounds,
but the Chicago boosts ranged from
$1 to $1.50.
The market specialist said produc
ers were unwilling to offer bogs ex
cept /in a very limited way due to.
the outbreak of war in Europe." The
lack of receipts is contributing to the
sharp advance, he added.
Cotton Up
The prices of cotton in New York
were 19 to 25 points higher at clos
ing yesterday.
Officials of the State Division of
Purchase and Contract reported ris
ing prices on packing house products
?sugar, flour, wheat, soap and other
products. The State purchased two
carloads of wheat yesterday at a
price $675 higher than it would have
had to pay before the war began and
today the State will open bids on
groceries for colleges and institu
tions. Indications are prices wiH be
considerably higher .on those sup
plies than was estimated before the
war.
Prices yesterday on the New_
Bright tobacco markets ranged any
where from 25 cents to $2 lower per
100 pounds than were prices of last
Friday, the last day of Bales before
war. '"-v- 'f ? .< sf>N//

days, through Wednesday of this
week, the Farmvflle market had sold;
8,563,712 pounds of tobacco as eom
pared with 4,468,918 pounds sold last
'season for the same number of days.
This is a splendid increase, and it is
( the hope of every tobacconist in the
town, and every invidual interested
in the market, that it will be able to
carry through this tremendous in
crease to the end of the season. This
will undoubtedly be accomplished if
those interested will bear in mind at
all times that the Farmvifle market
is paying higher prices, grade for
gtede, than any of the other large
markets. And there is a reason for
this: Fannville warehousemen know
tobacco, and are on the job every
minute of the time watching out
for the farmer's interest, and seeing
that he gets the highest price pos
sible f^r each grade of tobacco sold.
The predominating type of tobac
co on the floors for the past week
has been the common and medium
grades of tips, which has sold rather
cheap, and had. a tendency to make
the daily averages show up some
what discouraging! y. The small
amount of the better leaf grades
showing up from day to day is sell
ing good, and no doubt but hope that
when more of this type of tobacco
begins to come to the floors, the av
erages will pick up considerably and
have a strong tendency to increase
the morale and spirit of the growers,
which is at a low ebb Just now,
Farmers are being advised to :
grade their tobacco elosely, and keep <
it in a fine dry st^tc, then follow
this market's sales card, and bring
the tobacco to Farmville, where the; i
system of selling only one day to the i
house is used in order to avoid block
sales. Fannville people believe that
farmers will get more real satisfac
tion in selling on the Farmvillie :
Market than any other.

Warsaw, Sept. 7.?Residents re
training in the Polish capital after
the flight of a great part of the
population today threw up barricades
in the streets against a German
army driving upon the city from the
north.
Reinforced Polish troops dug in
along their. Bug River line of de
fenses only nine or 10 miles north
oif-the city for a desperate defense
of Warsaw.
A major.battle seemed to be im
pending but those Polos who remain
ed after hasty evacuation of the city
including government offices?did
toot expect to .soft the "German vis
itors" tonight *' ?? '' . '''
More Air Raids
Foreigners, including Britons ami ]
Frenchmen, crowded the United
States Embassy building, which the
United States Consulate has taken
over. Since the flight of foreign
ffiplomatic representatives the U, S.
Consulate is handling British and
French interests.
In an air raic^ early today, manjr I
bombs were dropped in the vicinity
of the Warsaw airport and one, aim- J
ed at a railroad bridge, cut a large
railroad administration building
completely in half. Only the fleet
that the raid occurred at 5:80 a. m.
when the building was virtually var ?
cant prevented hteavy loss of life.
Ordinarily several thousand persona
work in the building.
Warsaw's air raid alarm system, \
has become disorganized. Often it
is late in warning residents, who run
for shelter when they>htear the blasts
of anti-aircraft and machine-gun
fire.
Casualties and damage were rsK J
ported in the vicinity of the airport
Those trying to escape south and
southeast from Warsaw pleaded for
gasoline for cars, hut it .was virtu
ally unobtainable.
There was some hope that a train
for Brest-Litovsk to the east might
leave "in two or three hours." . pi
The U. S. Consulate has: estab- ;
li'shed a refugee clearing house at
Brest-Idtovsk, to 'move foreign na
tionals ; to ? safety, possibly^to Riga
and Bucharest as transportation can
be arranged.
The Polish general staff insisted
i ? cpmmmiqae today that. thirty
Polislt planes had carried out a war- j
Ing bombing raid on Berlin, vrithout >:
the loss of a single plane.

One of the first' German advance
posts which fell, it was reported in
Basel, was a lode fort opposite Sear

the Saar. It was said the fort was
taken after very little figfttfag when
French. troops -occupied the wooded
hills on both rides- of the frontier
read.
The Germans were said to have
retired with little resistance from
advance poets to the mam Siegfried
forts, five and ten kilometers- behind
the border. (A kilometer is about
6-8, of a mile.)

Although planes of hoik rides
made frequent flights, there wa? lit
