l^^kSN^As for progress, we are ih the
)>£ front ranks in many respects and
vf -indifference is son>ethiag un
if known among us.
One of the liveliest factors of
‘ the progress of which we boast
.is The Woma^^'s Clbb. -Article
£11 of the constitution of the
^ Woliaan’s Club says, “The object
of this club shall be intellectual
^.phUanthrophic, social, civic and
^ddmestic betterment of our
.*itdwo." With this rousing pro
gyam ever befor^ us we have
rked busily ahd. happily for
ral years, for naipridly inter

to interest in our pw
Wmrking through

dDDao. GREAT things but very
^ MUNX things all of which we feel
have^been worth while and uf a
progressive and constructive na
ture.
■' The Woman’s Club always
gtiinds ready and willing to land
. a lupins hand in town or school
^lA any undertaking where we are
~ed. In return it has been an
aipiration to find bow willing
lecooperate in any forward
rement in which our club
ICS the lead.
course there has been more
Imb opposition and crlticiSm|to
me but we have had the
IHsdoip to elect for ourselves
iaadort of vision and determina-
and we have all lent our aid

as occasion required until
we can proudlv point to our
one of the most valued

club has steadily grown in
of marked ability in oilf
Satmn
“tanks.
80 many in fad that wl^n we
pause to take stock we feel like
patting ourselves on tHI back in
reallpide. .
The bestowal of'the ballot on
women has made it necessary for
us to study politics as never be>
fore. And through the Worn
an’s Club we are doing this as
thoroughly as ^canT
Parliamentary law has b^en a
tough dull colored thread to
weave into our tapestry but we
have not neglected it and it has
made a' highly satisfactory back*
erround for the bright and joy
ous incidents.
As for progress along other
lines, due to the influence.of (he
Woman’s Club, some of ladies
who used to respond with tremb-
ling voices and quaking knees
when called upon to read a par
agraph in club meeting have ; c
rejd so much self confidence
they, do not in the least

Harris Lunsford Dies.
Mr. Harris Lunsford, aged ,50
years, died, at his home near
Glenecho school last Wednesday
night. May 2nd. after a short
illness of pneumonia, and was
buried at Parkers Grove church
Friday, Rev. A. D. Carswell con
ducting the funeral services in
the absence of the pastor of the
deceased, Rev. N. C. Yearby.
Mr. Lunsford was a consistent
member of the Methodist church,
and was an honest man and good
and useful citizen. He leaves a
wife and five children, some of
whom are grown. His parents
also are living, and we deeply
sympathize with the bereaved
family.

big battles throughout the Con

out with unstained swords. Sons
01 Veterans, Daughters, listen to
the tales the old Veterans tell, of
battlefields made red with blood
of the slain.
There was no Red Cross nurse
with gentle hands to bind the
wound and soothe the dying; no
weir equipped hospitals to re
ceive the wounded. Still they
fought bravely on for four long
years. Our ports blockaded with
no outlet to the markets of the
woijd. An occasional blockade
runner that would run out anc
bri. g a ship load of supplies.
The men who wore the gray
left us for the army full of hope
in the full strength of their man
hood. Memory carries me back
to the first company that we saw
take the train for the seat of
war; tlieir shouts in tones of vie

to mothers, wives, sisters, sw-eet

some one writes that it was
most^ “a creditable episode in

Gen. Lee surrendered to Gen.

General Grant received it with

"Child Management from a
Mental Standpoint.’’ and was
very he.pful and instructive to
all prei^ent. We wish so much
that every parent in Raeford
could have been there, and heard
this splendid talk.
The next number was a health
play given by the primary grades
of the school, which was very
good, and enjoyed 5y all.
A trio, ‘Honey Child,’’ by
Mesdames A. K. Currie, Ray

For Recorder.
Guessing at good governmi^nt
is largely responsible for the
evils of our day. Laziness in
politics fills public* offices with
drones, dreamers, and men un
suited for their official tasks.
Filling (ffices with God fearing
men who strive to do the will of
the people is our job on election
day.
Hoke county’s Recorder hears
the same cases now* which once
went up before the tiuperior
court. The Recorder must be fa
miliar with his State ciinstiiiiti.m
and over 8.UUO statutes s ' as. id
satisfy jus ice
The people are keen for fair
and impartial trials, but unless
they are equally keen on election
day they need not expect compe
tent and experienced judges
learned in the law to administer
the law. My announcement
brink's no cross word puzzle to
the voters. I am not asking any
one to guess at what to expect
of me in the Recorder’s office.
You know I have over five years
experience in the work, and am
abler today than ever before to
justify your confidence in my
faithful service. Please bear all
this clearly in mind on June 2od,
and be sure to come out and vote.
