Raeford Eiwanis Club met in
their hall last Thursday evening,
and as has become a custom,
fared sumptuously—more so than
usual, if such a statement could
be true—and there are doubts in
the writer's mind as to its truth*
fulness, for we hear it said at
each dinner, "this is the best we
have had.” We only remember
the last ONE BETTER, perhaps, but
the Presbyterian ladies fed us
well, and we enjoyed that meal.
Desultory firing and discussion
of committee reports entertained
the club members, until the
speaker of the evening was in

had a very )^e circle of friends,
who are pained to bear of her
death.
She was taken with pneumonia
Friday night, and died on Tues
day morning. It seems ber case
baffled the doctors, as they could
do nothing to stay the progress
of the disease. Hers was a sad
death to many relatives and
friends.
