Somethin}): like two chnrchfuls attend^ Sunday. Rev. A. D Carswell, the pastor, preached a ereat sermon to a full house. Af ter the.sermon the Sacrament of thd Lord's Supper was adminis tered. Rev W. M. Fairley, D. D., assisted in the administra .. jjm of the ordinance. *^*^he attendance of the dis persed abroad was the lar};est ever known. There were a num her of former members. present afJi^^day who had not been there in many years. It is an unique pleasure to meet friends one knew intimately a half or h quar ter of a century ago, A revival of old time sentiments revives the aged spiritually, and mentally. So many of the former members ,of the Sandy Grove church have out to bless the world in d||il||^sefulne8s, it is a source of just ^^pride, and a consolation to those remaining. Several features of the reunion are worth attention; the solemn reverence the place invokes, pro duced by hahowed memories, the appropriate musics the obser vance of sacred rites, the rem iniscences of other days. The afternoon services were given over to reminiscent talks by Dr. .lohn Peter Monroe, Dr. Watst^n Fairley, Dr. Dan Currie, Mr.Mur d)cb McLeod et al.

Burgwyn, of Northampton coun ty, is regarded as a certain can didate. Mr, Burgwyn served in the 1921 Senate, with Dr. Me Gougan, and had previously served in the same body. He has^continued to come to the Legislature since that time, hav ing been a member of the 1923 House and President pro tempore of the Senate in 1925 Both of the contestants are well known throughout the State, and the race is sure to be a live ly one.

D. Tapp, belonging to JTapp & Dixon, on Tuesday night of last week. On Wednesday the owners traced it and found It on the floor of a warehouse io Fairmont. It was sold, but the man. who placed it there has never called for his check. It is believed a man named J. A., or J. B. Webb, from John ston county is the man who stole the tobacco. Webb sold a load of tobacco in Fairmont last ' week and got the money for that. This proved to be stolen, and it is said the car he drives was ^ stolen also* and a reward of $600 is offered for his capture. Named Chief Marshal. . Fayetteville, Sept. 17—Dr. J.

About It? ■ ■ H . .tv - I noticed in the Journal about two weeks ago, the question was asked, will we have a day of thanksgiviug separate and apart from our regular Thansgiving day to give thanks unto the Lord for the many blessings he has given us? ' ' 1 have been waiting for some one else to give his opinion about this, but no one seems to be enough interested in this all im portant question to give his vieWs. The Lord has blessed us with good seasons and with good crops and many other blessings that we ought to be, and I be lieve, thankful for, but we have failed to come together as a whole and give thanks unto Him. Now let us fall in line with some of the other counties and com&^together and give thanks a part of one day at least for the blessings that we have enjoyed because we know that the Lord is the giver of all good and per fect gifts Return unto Me and 1 will re turn unto you sayeth the Lord of host. Malachi 3-7 And one of them when he saw that he was healed turned back and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on bis face at His feet and gave thanks, and be was a Ba- maritan. And Jesus answering said, were there not ten cleansed, where are the nine. There are uot found (hat returned to give glory to God save the stranger? Luke 17,161617 18. Now let's not be worse than a stranger, but let's go to God and give thanks. E. M. SMITH Rmford. N. O.'Sept, 18th. Mr. John McMillan of Manley visited bis son, Mr. L. S. Me Millan Saturday.

This Rally is not simply a temporary spirt, but taking seriously the fact that ev ery member of our church and community ought to be studying God’s word. It is important for our daily lives; for the next 25 years of our social living and for our eternal happiness, for God's xevealed truth is essential t^ How Editors Get it Mixed. Last Wednesday morning it was talked on the streets ^f Rae ford tnat the postmaster at Rock Ingham had been killed by robbers who 'had entered and found the postmaster in their way. The Bockiogham post master is named Long, so we got the whole stqrv. Now this is how we gut it: A travelling man told a filling station man in Raeford that rob bers bad entered the postoffice at Rocky Mount and shot the postmaster. The gas man un derstood him to say Rocking, bam, and so told it The truth is: Robbers entered Rocky Mount postoffice at the hour of 11-30 on thdt night and found a clerk still there, and they shot and wounded him. We hope the postmaster at Rockingham will not feel dead, because of our news item. Rallies at the churches come thick and fast along this time of year. The object of these rallies with colored people, particularly,, is to raise money for the various church improvements, whole the people have money, and it isn’t a stuNd idea. Tbe Men of the Church.

Kiwaniaii is singular, and Ki- wanis is plural, ain’t it Paul? Well, I speak of the Kiwanis. A good attendance last Thursday evening, which again elevated the spirit of the secretary, and then the eats furnished by the Civic department of the Wo man’s club were delightful. Kiwanian W. K. Bethune of Lumberton was the speaker of the evening ana gave the club Some mighty good common sense advice. The club will hit a new stride soon and become a great factor in the upbuilding of tbe commu nity. A contribution was made to school athletics Thursday night and interest was awakened so that more will be done later. J. H. BLUE ENGINEERING ANOlSURVEYING I Raeford, N. C.
