' This ' marvelous ~ musical ag gregation gave a concert in tbe school auditorium last Friday evening under tbe auspices of the Woman’s Club of Raeford, and to say the audience present enjoyed the rare musical treat fails to express, what we would like to say, but we were all charmed. ' To pick the best selection is hard to do, for each number was splendid, and each and ail seera* ed indispensable to tbe organiza tion. Mr. £. Ellsworth Gil§8,' the leader, is a noted musician, and has been engaged in choir training, and hM directed some of the most noted choirs in America. And he has a “Six teen” under his leadership now, each of whom Is musically talent ed, so it was a good turn the Woman’s Club served the town on this occasion. Not only are they good musi cians, but a line lot of men, just out to please and encourage the people iu a love for the noble and refined; and nothing so elevates humanity as good, soul-stirring music. Southern Pines and North Carolina is for tunate to have E. Ellsworth Giles and better half, Mrs. Giles, who presided at the piano and accompanied in most numbers and is also a musician of rare ac complishments, even temporarily as citizens. - %e hope to have the “Sixteen” wi^i us;^aih y^ a mritt or i^iu- WHEN DAD GOES FISHING.

When the moou-is near the full, And tbe wind is from tbe south or west. Big fish be then can pul). So when the weather, wind and moon. Are functioning just right. The way my dad can hustle off A fishing is a sight. I like to hear my dad call out, “Son go and dig some bait, ” - You bet I get my hoe and start To the creek at speedy gait. For dad seems like a boy again, I wish you all could know Tbe kind of pal my old dad is. When a fishing he can go. ’Tie then be seems to open up Big hearted as can be, • ^ He never dares to scoff or frown, The neighbors all agree. He’s a good old sport I’m here to say, vVith rod and reel he’s clever. Or with book and line he seldona ' owns That he was beaten ever.

Although the years had gone beyond the half century mark ice the eldest child came into home, audall of them bad ^oue out into the world and es- ’'tablished homes of their own, and had their own work and in terests, still with this death comes a poignant grief, because with the years tbe ties strength ened and words fail ' us when we attempt to estimate the heart pangs the parting brings.

McLaucblin. when Sah Fhancisco Jeliked W London on b'ebruary ‘2^ a dis tance of 7,278 miles, transatlan tic telephone service was finally accomplished for the whcle Uni ted States. The human voice traveled over hardened copper wire through Chicago and New. York to Long Island. I here tbe voice junaped almost 3,000 miles to be picked up only by a small copper wire at an Ehiglish receiviug station. At the eastern edge of our cuntiuent it was magnified 2.000,- 000 times for its journey through the other, a la radio. Trausatlantic telephone engi neers arranged a path for it over the water with a 3,000 meter wave length, and leaping at in calculable speed, away went tbe human voice. The American telephone sys tem deserves credit for giving this new service to the public. It pioneered the undertaking just as American genius gave the telephone to the world and fur nished transcontinental telephone service in the United States be-' fore other countries bad even fair local telephone communica tion. Once again our telephone sys tern, developed and carried on by orivate initiative and enterprise, gives an object lesson to its su periority in rendering service to the people, in comparison with the less progressive publicly owned systems of Europe. . Long distance telephone ser vice in Europe is limited, due to multiplicity of systems and lack of uniformity in equipment and operating methods. imssiog.
