speakers and seats provided for q
large audience, all ideal spot fol
the ceremony that followed.
After all invocation by Rev. J
M. T.. Lyerly the address of well
come was delivered by G. P.
Fisher. Mr.. Fisher called atten-
tion to the fact that one of the
first reunions after the war was
held at Faith, and since that time
it had become custom on each
returning 4th of July to hold SIM
liar services. It is no new thing
for the people of Faith to enter
tain the old soldiers, but mani
festation of their appreciation of
the veterans services and sacri-
fees, loyal and constant devo-
tion to their welfare and comfort.
The response was delivered by
Rev. J. M. L. Lyerly. who spoke
in high terms of the veterans, and
the pleasure it gave the visitors to
accept of the hospitality of the
citizens of Faith.
J. G. Lingle, chairman of the
committee, introduced Rev. R. E.
Neighbor, pastor of the First Bap-
tist church at Salisbury. Rev.
Neighbor took the floor and gave
a good account of himself. He
prefaced his remarks by stating
the arrangement made with the
committee, declaring that he was
unable to do much more than
preach, and this he did. He said
his subject was the "Great Decla-
ration of Independence the one
made on Calvary by the blessed
Lord and Savior. He spoke we'll,
and held the attention of his au-
dience throughout. He closed by
paying splendid tribute to the
women of the South, and by tell
ing some appropriate war stories
that were eagerly listened to.
Prof. A. O George of Crescent
followed Rev. Neighbor. Prof.
George spoke of education, the
State and Nation, and the valor
of the Confederate soldier and the
peace that we enjoy. His remarks
were closely listened to.
This closed the services in the
grove, and the crowd dispersed.
The old soldiers returned to Faith
and enjoyed bountiful dinner
that had been prepared for them.
The afternoon was spent in the
enjoyment of harmless amuse.

ed farmers free of cost for expert
mental purposes. Mr.. Meach-
ANS idea was that a few neigh

the seed. But 10 and behold !!
As the days went by applications
began to come in from all over
the State. From Cherokee to
Currituck, and from Murphy to
Manteo came letters from people
who wanted alfalfa seed free.
Mr.. Meacham was embarrassed.
He is affable and accommodating
but he had only few seed, and
as the days of miraclss are pass
ed he could not make these few
suffice for thousands. At last
account Mr.. Meacham was fgur-
ing how to get around tho appli-
cations and the requests for seed
were still coming in at the rate
of 80 to 40 a day.
