NORTH CAROLINA DAY.
on the 18th of October Greensboro will
have celebration to be known as North
Carolina Day" While the celebration Will
be at Greensboro, it will not be by any
means local affair. but State affair.

ca sion, and united with the local COM
mitteo in extending cordial Invitation

State to visit Greensboro at that time, and
assuring them all welcome both hearty

government are appointed reception
committee on the part of the State at
large and there are local reception COM

invites all of her sons and daughters VINO
have moved into other sections of the
country to come home on that day and
mako merry with their brethren and SIS
tiers. There will be some formal pro-
u,
ar informal gathering of North Carolin-
ians, and 1t will be q merry time. The
occasion will be much like "Old Home
Week." which has become so popular IN
New England, and apart from the social
features, it Is hoped and expected that
some of tho North Carolinians who have
wandered away from their native State
will return for good and oil and spend
their latter days at home and partake
of the prosperity of the old North State
and help to promote it.
DR.. Charles D. McIver, who Is full from

all mankind especially for the people
Of North Carolina: man who, has con-
secrated himself to the cause OF educa-
ton and to every good cause in his State.
is at the head OF this movement and
will be more or less master Of ceremonies.
That statement In itself Is enough to
give assurance that North Carolina Day
at Greensboro will be mn occasion OF In
terest and hospitality and jollihcation. OF
cordial hand-shakings and good eating
and good Jokes and good sentiments. and
that those who attend will be glad.
North Carolina has every reason to be
proud of herself, and her sons and daugh-
tiers. whether they be at home or abroad,
have every reason to be proud of her.
II will be sweet for the absent ones to
get home once again and touch elbows
with their kinsmen. and the whole State
will feel the thrill Of the aftectionate
reunion.
