Apologies ^ Mrs. Brown
Hendrix and readers of “Stone
wall Report” for the in|xup in
the column in last week’s paper.
The printer putting in correc
tions in a hurry got the correc
ted line for one item, into anotr
her, and vice versa, which made
a mess. We are sorry, and will
keep trying to dp better.
. The^ play which had been sch-
wMed at Flora Macdonald Col-
for next Tuesday night.
February 2J, has been cancelled.
It was to have been Bernard
Shaw’s “Saint Joan.”
You should try to attend the
Sleeting at the courthouse on
Friday afternoon at 5:00 o’clock.
It will only last a few piiinites
and you will get a chance to
fully understand the legislation
the town aifd county boards
'"Nijant on the subject of planning
of subdivisions and rwl estate
developments just outside town.
Seems to me that this is a good
opportunity and that maybe^ we
should ful^ understand this idea
before being for or against it.
Bog vaccinating has been go
ing over with a bang, accord
ing to Dr. Clifton Havenport,
county health officer, who Qt
ports^that -there were 184 vac
cinated in the‘first morning of
the program by Dr. K. M. Lewis.
These three stops were in An
tioch, Stonewall and McLauch-
lin Townships, and Lewis was
accompanied by Dog Warden
Leslie Irion..
Charlie Hosteler addressed •
seminar at IJuke University Law
School Friday on the subject of
insurance, which he knows some
thing about for having served
as assistant insurance commis-
sisair# Nttb^ Carolina for a
spell. "Hiat evening he intro
duced the speaks at 'the semi-
. nar banquet. This was Charles
F. GJoId, cpnnnissioner of insur
ance of North Carolina.
And don’t forget that you can
see the Hoke High Bucks tan
gle with the Campbell College
basketball team here tomorrow
night at 8:00. ,
There are those who ask why
the county is bothering to have
a celebration when it is only
50 years old,. as if to intimate
that we actually ought to be ash
amed to be proud of Hoke Coun
ty if we are no older than that
In other wprds, fifty years is not
much to make much over.

With Sam Morris
The religious drama at the
Raeford Presbyterian Church
Sunday ni^t was certainly well
worth the time of tlw overflow
crowd that attended. The church
was filled and chairs were put in
the aisles both downstairs and in
the balcony to accommodate, not
only Raeford- people, but those
from the surrounding towns.
The six students who partici
pated in the drama gave an ex
cellent performance in the fast
moving play. Not only did they
act their parts well, but their
hearts were in the message they
put over to the people.
Overheard on -the way out of
the church was a comment by
the pastor. Something about
“filling the phurch at night...”
The “Brothers of the Brush”
meeting at the courthouse Mon
day night brought out a large
crowd, if til meetings concern
ing the Jubilee are attended as
well as this one, and the enthus
iasm shown 4hat this group ha
the work of committee chahmiei
should be easy.
Since the meeting derby and
high fop hats along with the of
ficial badges of theg roup have
been appearing on the streets.
This is good advertising for the
event and everyone should join
in the fun.
The ladies or “Belles’* will
meet next week, so it shouldn’t
be long before bonnets and long
dresses will make an appearance.
The, meeting will be Thursday,
Reb! 23 in the courthouse and
more information about this
meeting is in another article in
the paper.
With two In the;, shop out sick,
work is piling up so wUl stop
until next week.
