DIDN'T ATTEND DANCE Much to my sorrow I hav learetd thfct --tnT ongli Ignorance 6f facts "xtr malicious intent someone has started the rumor that the Reverend Mr. Roe Harris and his wife attended a dance at the tinje of the Junior-Senior ban quet at Belhaven. In justice to Mr Harris in particular and the public in general, I wish to state that the re port is entirely false. Mr, and Mrs. Harris attended-our banquet j but retired along with many others dur ing the intermission between the banquet and! dance. Signed: Rowe Henry, Principal. W. S. Riddick, Committee, Mrs. S. J. Peele. " Dr. J. C. Owens Here Sunday Dr. J. C. Owen of Murfreesboro, noted terperance advocate , is ex pected to draw a large crowd at the City Hall Sunday night where he is scheduled to appear as the principal speaker at the union services to be held at 8 o'clock. Most of the church es in Belhaven are sponsoring this meeting in the interests of making Belhaven a better place to live. A recent movement was started by leading citizens to put our town on the map by developing cur commer cial enterprizes. The Sunday night meeting, it is said, falls in line with this progres sive mqvement by starting at the foundation and building up Dr. Owen is well known through out the state for his inspiring talks and it is believed that Belhaven is fortunate to have him here at this time.
