The little children Of Miss @arsh's
room at the Murphy Graded School
had an interesting celebration yester-
day in honor of George Washington.
The children had purchased from their
own voluntary contributions an en-
CRAVING of Washington, set in a hand
some oak frame. This was presented
to Miss Marsh's room.
As their ranks were somewhat de-
plefed by measles last week, the child
ren postponed their Washington's
Birthday exercises until yesterday.
These exercises were of a historical
and patriotic nature, consisting Of
songs and Rotations. The room was
decorated with flags and evergreens.
Visitors in the persons Of children
from other grades filed the room.
Several ladies were also present. 1t
was an enjoyable occasion, and the
scale Of patriotism rose many points.

rrWO RALEIGH MEN ORGANIZING
LODGES.

This weeks Henderson Gold Leaf
contains two items that viii interest
many readers of the News and Obser-
yer. That paper says:
ssAfr. a. j. Jones, of Raleigh, has been
here for two days working up our peo-
Dle to establish council of the Royal
Arcanum, which is pronounced the
best assessment insurance on earth "
"There is not another town in the
State the size of Henderson that has
no Odd Fellows Lodge. Many places
much smaller have two fourishing
lodges. Just why there is not at least
one here we do not know. But it is
probably due TO the fact that an effort
has not been made in that direction.
AIr, J.. NJ. Norwood, prominent Odd
Fellow, Of Raleigh, was here yesterday
interesting himself in organizing a
lodge of that order and we are pleased
to state that he met with much encour-
agement."
