At the noon hour a liberal din* ner was spread upon an impro vised table beneath the trees in the yard, and after a blessing up on the family connection had been invoked by Rev. G. W. Han na, pastor of Antioch church, all feasted upon substancials and vians until altogether satisfied We have never seen a better din, ner, nor one more plentiful. A good portion was returned to the boxes after everybody had been well fed. One thing we may learn from reunions of this nature, and that is the value of good training in the home. These good, reliable and substantial citizens were trained in the borne of Mr. and Mrs Phillip Parker years ago. These married in homes of like training, and a citizenship wor thy of Good Old South results. 4 want of this home traiping is filling the jails and road gangs today. ft is a delight to spend a day in company of such worthy folk, and to say we enjoyed it falls short of expressing what we feel.

Editor. ennie McNefil Clark are spend ing a week in the mountains. The Currie reunion was held at the Pike last Tuesday. They had a good crowd, a pleasant day and are all happier now. Half theiball games in north ern states were rained out last Thursday, and showers were due to follow here two days later. Harnett county tax collector collected 1440,639-13 out of a to tal of $483,793.46 levied in that c'unty last year. Nearly a half million. Mr. W. L Bethune and fami y have moved into the Epstein residence on Prospect avenue, since their home was destroyed by fire. Messrs. Daniel Wilson and ilobert Currie, members of Bat tery F, have beep sick with ma- arial attacks since their return from camp. The sandhill peach growers are offering the orphanages of the state ail the peaches they want if they will come after and gather them. There has never lived a more persistant pest than bean beetles. They multiply exceedingly fast, and must be destroyed frequent ly, or they destroy crops. Senator SimtuoDS has at last spoken, and says he wishes the county And State and district Democratic tickets elected, ‘ but goes no further in his wishes. Six persons were killed in this State on Aug. ist, five at in au tomobiles by trains at crossings and one as he walked along a raiload, at China Grove,Hillsboro and near Lexington. There are two million bales less carry over cotton in the world than there were a year ago, and two Or three hundred million pounds less of tobacco, but the commercial world is try ing bard to find excuses for a drop in prices. Mayor McLauchlin informs us that the soldiers and truck train did not stop on the moruing of Mrs. C. L. Black’s funeral until he stopped them. We bave not seen any sweet potatoes yet. Wonder what is the matter with Mr. J. K. Me ^eill? But Mr. M. K. McNeill reports new crop yams. We had showers^ in Raeford and in the western and northern parts, though not general in thest; parts of the county, last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Boll weevil infestation is rap idly increasing in Hoke and ad joining counties we are inform ed, and will no doubt do a great deal of .damage to the cotton crops. There are some very dry streaks of territory in Hoke. There has been no rain in east era McLauchlin township in four weeks, and with the hot weather crops have suffered. The advertising In the local newspaper tells more about a town than any other thing, ll shows the pluck, g-1 up and get in the town’s business men. Ad vertising makes a town. The railroads are asking for a raise in freight rates, while the rates are so nigh now as to be prohibitive, due to going back to normalcy in part and abnormalcy in part of the country over. ' A broken rail caused a wreck of a freight train on the A- & R- Railroad on the Smith farm two miles north of Raeford last Satur day morning. Several cars were derailed and a number turned over. The Raeford cantaloups buy era left not only the growers in the bole and half the cantaloupes in the fields, but they left a bunch of help without work and with no means of support, and they a long way from home and no money to pay transportation. jP; Robinson of War* was a guest of Mr. T.

Mr. Bradley is assisting Pastor Yearby in a series of meetings at Parker's Chapel this week Over 1,200 people of Hoke took advantage of the free vaccina tions for typhoid ana diphtheria, still not so many as should, for everybody, except the old people should be vaccimted.

The number regis- J»red was 1%. There were a few invited friends. Rev- Fred Brown and Mr. C ^B. Skipper, Superior Court Clerk, of Lumberton A- J. Currie, N. A. McLauchlin and myself. Confederate veterans. It was the intention to invite all the Confederate veterans in the county, but the secretafy did* not know their names nor addresi^. It was OM of the moet pleasant dav^pli^aye spent in many yeii^. Some of the donneetion came from as far ..South as Orlanda, Fla., and as fiir north as Greensboro, and the dinner was just as fine as could-be, and bte of everything good, and a number of baskets full left over. We had some good talks by Rev. Chas. Hodgiu, F^/ Fred Brown aud C. B. Skipb^r, and I told them how Mr. Make McPbaul (Big Make) saved Richmond, the capitql of the Confederacy. He was leader of the band of the 46th regiment, which was in camp near Richmond, and my brother who was at Camp Winder hospital wrat out to see McFhaol, and Make asked bipa if he^ would like to hear. bandNc^y a tune, and he told hup be-.vjA^P^. so Make iraUedhfS b|n^ tdlRtber, and Hbh'ey {datdd ^fie, i|bd Gen.

A short time ago a fifty-eir trainload of tractors, to be need in the cultivaUon of ctUton, waa shipped into Miadli|pitppt It is stated that theae miniiioea arili do the work of 1300 men and 5200 mules in drawing maltipla row eultivatora. The Florence. Alabami,Tfeuee- News, in commenting on this* says that “there will probably be more sigmfieant devetopmemt In, Southern agriculture daring 1928." The tractor, has given the far* mer new standaMs of speed, ef fideuey and labor saving. It will be interesting to tbemve the progress in cotton coUivalion ia the Mississippi delta that will be effected by the utilization of these tractors.

They are among the few who have passed their golden anniversary. The reunion being secretly planned by their sous and daugh ters, came as a joyful surprise to Mr. and Mrs. Warner. The bounteous dinner which was prepared and brought by their children was spread on a long table beneaththe oaks; the centerpiece being a lovely birth day cake with 76 candies.

An Inspector came over Thursday and removed Mr. J. B. McKenzie as P. M. and put in Mr. L. A. Mclnnis, and moved the office hack to the Mclnnis building.
