Mr. ftcLeod was elected Rol

more than 60 years ago, and
served that church until Shiloh
church was organized, of which
be was a charter member, and
he was elected Ruling Elder in
this church also, in which caps'
jcity be served the remainder of
hie life
j j He was very active in cnurch.
|nd was instrumental in' doing
great good. Especially was he
servicable in Sunday school
work, in which he was a great
believer.
He was a most cordial man, al
ways' true to his friends, ajid a
prince of entertainers, His hos-
pitality knew no bounds.
He leaves a wife, who was
Miss' Margaret Currie before
marriage, and three sons, Messrs.
Graham McLeod and Elbert Mc’
Leod of Timberland, R. 1, and
Rev. Murdoch McLeod of Pine
hurst; two daughters, Misses
Htiile and Currie McLeod, who
are at home.
The funeral was conducted
from Shiloh ch’orch Thursday
morning by his pastor. Rev A
D. Carswell, in the presence of a
large gathering of relatives,
friends and neighbors, and the
floral tribute was one of the
largest and prettiest we have
seen.

we learn, that one of them (i.hej

it to Raeford, but the other ob

The parade consisted of Co. L
Parkton, Hattery F of Raeford,
a goodly number of World War
and Spanish American Wyr vet
erans.
There were a few Confederate
veterans, but they did not join
the parade.
The competitive military drills
were good, and both companies
showed good training
Hon. Brvce Litte of WMlsoh,
who was introduced in a few
chosen sentences by Mr, E S.
Smith, made a very eloquent
patriotic speech, but few heard
it, because of the lateness of the
hour, and the unbearable heat.
The picnic dinner was the suc
cess of the occosion. There was
an abundance for the large
crowd present, and a lot left
over, j Thesq; Hokeites are great

The wafer polo*was a most in
teresing feature of the day’s fes
tivities It was a rough game
but gamely played.
The base ball game between
Parkton and Raeford was rather
a one sided affair, as Raeford
won 14 to 0. But there were
thrills nevertheless.
The fireworks display was
grand. We do not believe it
could have been improved upon,
and a large crowd witnessed the
show.
We may not have another big
