B' ■ The fhrahan Reunion. ^jj^itor in company of Sher-. and family attended the sixth reunion of the Graham family, which annually meets at the home of Mrs. M. A. Cur rie, near Shannon. There is something both cheer- !|ng and sad about a family re- :^^i)ion; it reminds one of tbe pant pleasures enjoyed, and also ' brings to remembrance those sad things in-life that has been al- forgocten. . ^ut the pleasure* of the -the family meeting prevails, and it .i^ lU^ays a joyous occasion. If ':|^Y,one had a p^ng he hid it. 'These reunions are held at hpi^e of Mrs. Af. A.'Oorriei with Cou^ School ibwt. ^(BT W. f aaWWBLD) The Ah^ochMbool Committee men are having the edmol build ing there repaired^and put in good condition for the opening of school. The prospects for a good school daring tbe coming term are very pleasing. They have secnred Mr. Fred Aber natfay of Lincolnton as principal (tf. the school. Mr. Abernathy was principal of the Aberdeen High School last year. He is a good school man and comes highly recommended Miss Grace Monroe from Scotland county will assist him ip the high school, be other .teachers are Miss ^din^;;^rider, Salisbury; MiSM^f^ McPbaul of tbe com munity; Miss Katie Blue Mc Leod of Red Springs; and Miss Mary Livingston' of Scotland county. Miss Grace Goodman will have charge of tbe music. For the Mildouson school Mr Joe Osborne comes back as prin cipal of the school with Miss Ka tie B. Seals of Scotland county aa assistant in tbe high school. Miss Seals is a graduate of the State Normal at Greensboro and aitb this combination in the school the prospects are good Miss Lena Mae McEachern of daxton'will return for the sixth and seventh grades. Miss Janie Bullard of Cumberland county will have tbe fourth and fifth grades. Miss Katie Lou Geddie of the same county will have the second end third grades. . Miss Lenlfipeard of Rex will have lirst^ade. The prospects are j^)eai|Qg for a good school at this * ilace hnd no pains have been spared ip loeating a stiroiig fac ing her services. Miss Ora Lee * Maxwell of Raeford will return for the primary woilc. Miss Maxwell proved haffrtf to he a real teacher in hc^^j^rtt year of teaching experiencehnd of course every one connected with the Ashley Heights school will be glad to hear of her return. Miss Cora Gunn* of Pulaski^ Va., will have charge of the Merntrose school for another year. She has a number of years of experience and comes well recommended for the place. Tbe intermediate teacher has not been settled yet, Miss Ella Grey Gwaltney of Hiddinite; N. C., will have charge of the primary grades. She has had several years of experience and know ing that she comes from a fami ly of teachers it is felt that no mistake has been made in secur ing her for the work*. The high school pupils from this school will be brought to Raeford coming year so only elementary work will be done in the school. An effort is being made to get Ash ley Heighs and Montrose schools together and if this succeeds the consolidation program of the county will be practically com pleted with the exception of Lit tie River township. Quewhiffle township has probably made more rapid development within recent years than any other township in the county and a' good school for ail children will mean a great deal to continued progress. There will be a called tneeliug of the Board of Eddes- tioD and the committeemen of of these two schools held an next Thursday night at 8:00 o’clock to see if the plans can be worked out for better school facilitl^ for The td^^ saddenedF^ when it w Cameroiii stage of ^th’s hi at To’cloc!

Mr. Baker Watson of Alien dale township died in a bcpdtal lif-J^yetteville Sunday morning. I Mr. Watson was about 50 years old and unmarried. He had always lived with his broth er, Mr. G F. Watson, the two br#herB owning things in com- moir, or so they lived. He was a good Christian gen tleman, who leaves a spotless reputation, a number of relatives and a host of friends. His remains were buried at Centre church Monday morning at 11 o’clock. fS}- ft litia. Cufrie, w bt> is' 88^ enjdys th^e reunions better than any one else, perhaps, because at these she meets all her relatives and friends at her own home, and to her these occasions are of special pleasure. At this, the sixth re- reunion, 166 persons enjoyed a fine day. It was very hot weath er, but a place where there is ore shade could hardly be found. At the noon hour a long table, which bad been built in tbe yard under two of the iiret tiest hlCKory trees you ever saw, was loaded with the choicest food and the large crowd invited to come forward and partake to their satisfaction. Both tea and cuffee were supplied also. Tbe most interesting feature ol these reunions to us is the ioiks who attend them. Four generations of people meet and commune on a common level, with different views of life and its environs. Their prospect! ves are altogether different, and sttii from many viewpoints they agree Kindness and thought fulness of each other marked this occasion. The, same dispo- sitionp in many r^pects mark th^yg^d of this connection. We ould judge the -whole family ifi a class of grade A American citizens. Coart in Sessioii. Hoke county Superior court with Judge Thos. H. Calvert presiding convened Monday ^ morning. Solicitor T. A. Me - Neill is at his post prosecuting for the State. Tne grand jury, J. L. McFad yen, foreman, reconvened, and transacted the business on hand and adjourned. As there are no very important State cases, the civil docket will get more attention, and a two weeks* term is very probable. paliiiip'of'the' school He is a graduate of Furthan Uni versity,South Carolina and comes to us highly recommended. The committee feels fortuntae in se curing him to head tbe school during the coming term. He will be assisted by Misses Mary McBryde and Marjorie Campbell of Raeford, and Miss Carrie Mae Smith of Maxton. We feel that with this combination Rockfish is headed toward an excellent school year. Blue Springs will have the same corps of teachers for an other year, with Miss Xymena Smith of Huntersville as princi pal, Miss Lettie McMillan inter mediate work, and Miss Ada Smith of Concord as primary teacher. The success of these splendid teachers has already been proven and of course every one is expecting nothing but continued success. The patrons of I bis school met at the school bouse last Friday and put the school grounds in fine shape. The flowers planted there in the spring are showing up well and the patrons are to be congratu lated for tbe fine spirit of cooper ation in tbe success of the school in every way. It would be fine if some of tbe other schools of the county would catch some of the desire for the beautiful in connection with the attrac tiveness of the grounds. Mr. R. S. SesBoms of St. Pauls Will have the principalship of the Ashley Heights school for anoth or year. Mr. Sessoms did splen did work in the school last year and the patrons are highly pleas ed that he will be with them again. He will be assisted by Mrs. Julia Cameron of Vass, who has taught in the county for three years before. Her success as a teacher is well proven >h for Little River township at this tiine and an an- nouncementuf the teaching force there will be made later. Tne pupils from the McCrimmon’s Chapel School, (RosBodale), and Lobelia will be transported to the Vass school during the coming year. The Board of the Vass School have agreed to transport the children and give them an eight months term for what tbe teachers would cost the county for the six months term. This is only temporary arrangement for tbe sentiment of a majority of the patrons of tbe township seems to point to one school for the township where their chil dren can be given both elemen tary and high school instruction. Taken as ar whole the prospects for good schools for Hoke coun ty seems better than any year under the present administra tion. ever seen at a funeral here, an his remains were interred at Sandy Grove church. Quite a crowd of colored people attended the funeral. A delegation of four K. K. K.’s were present and took part in the funeral rites. Mr. Archie Gillis. Mr, Archie Gillis died at his home in Raeford last Friday morning at 3 o’clock, aged 60 years. Mr. Gillis came to Raeford with the family before the town was incorporated, and has lived here continuously since. He was entirely harmless man. If he ever did any harm to a hu man being we never heard of it. When in the prime of his life and before disease preyed upen his physical and mental powers, Mr. Gillis was a perpetualy great surprise to all who knew him, for he was an unusually intel ligent man. He knew men and measures. He was just in his mental conclusions, and accurate in his spiritual conceptions. Af ter a long period of affliction he is at rest. His remains were in terred in Raeford cemetery Sat urday morning. Rev. A, D. Carswell, bis pastor, conducted and I the funeral services, assisted by the school is fortunate in secur-' Rev. Dougald Monroe of Vass. A Well Planned Reception. The Ladies Auxiliary planned to give Rev. and Mrs. U. G. Long supply pastor of the Raeford Presbyterian chu ch and his young helpmeet, a reception in the basement rooms of the church after prayer meeting Wednesday evening, and a very enjoyable occasion they made of it The ladies had provided re freshments, and after the ser vices, held in the Sunday school auditorium as usual, all the con gregation repared to the base ment, where the reception was held, and the refreshments served. Rev and Mrs. Long came to Eiaeford two months ago strang ers, but by their earnestness and zeal, and their splendid work here, they have endeared them selves to their parishioners as with very strong ties. Mr. Long is on fire with zeal in the Mas ter’s cause, and Mrs. Long has proven an helpmeet indeed. The Men of the Church pre sented Mr. Long a purse of 150, and the Woman’s Auxiliary gave Mis'. Long a linen shower in ap preciation of the excellent ser vices rendered the church by these consecrated young people. Mr. Long is a student and an able preacher and bis sermons will bear fruit in Raeford in fu ture years, we believe. And each sermon seemed an improvement on the last. We will hold a keen interest in both Mr. and Mrs. Long, and regret very much to see them leave Raeford. Those Boys Have GodA. Our readers will remember that in^a recent issue of this pa per we have published a news item of three young white fel lims who were arrested for steal ing money from a man named Rayfield, who brought these fel lows from Miami, Fla. Turner plead guilty in Recorder’s court to the charge of taking the money Tuesday of .last week. Boyles and Chapman said they were not guilty. After the trial Prosecuting At torney Rowland had a confer ence with the bovs and found that, that in all probability, they been sinned against more than sinning, and so he wired the boys’ fathers, and directly mon, ey was wired to pay the court cost and to pay the boys’ trans portation to their homes. Boyles and Chapman left for their homes Saturday. Turner not^t awav until l^onday.
