Two hundred in attendance and
more than six dollars collection was
the report Of our school last Sab
bath morning.
Don't forget that there will be a
service for men only tomorrow at
ternoon at 3 o'clock. Come out
and hear Rev. Goodale tell you
many things you have likely never
thought about before.
Ladies, don't forget that there
will be business session of the
missionary society on next Wednes-
day at the church after the regular
bible study, instead of going to the
home of Mrs. J. E. Welsh as ap-
pointed at the last meeting.
On last Thursday at 9:30 a. m.
cottage prayer meetings were held
in the home Of G. G. Bigger on the
north side and of George Clark on
the south side. Both meetings
were well attended, despite the I'M
clemency of the weather.
A card from. Walter Gates, who
recently removed from Laclede to
Lordsburg, California, says he has
found a nice church and Sunday
school. Walter took his church
letter and we presume it has been
ere this in his new church
home.
The revival services are attended
by splendid congregations every
evening. The afternoon hour is
very profitably taken up with a
study of the bible, at present relat-
ing to the personality and work of
The Holy Spirit, and enjoyed by all
present. These meetings are not
rs largely attended as we would
ike to see and we are sure every
one would hear something benefic-
al to themselves if they will but
come and hear the word = There

Charged With Chicken Stealing

| John G. Welsh and his son,
Clarence, are in Jail at Linneus on
the charge of chicken stealing.
Last Monday morning when Mrs.
Foreman went to feed her pen of
Buff Cochins she missed several
from the flock. She telephoned
Henderson's produce house to know
if they had bought any Buff Coch-
ins that morning. Manager John
son answered that he was then in
the act of weighing a bunch of
hens that had been brought in by
Clarence Welsh and among them
were some filing the description of
her missing fowls. She went down
and claimed her chickens and took
them home. That deal had hardly
been settled until Mrs. Lockridge
phoned in the same kind of areport
to the produce house and went
down and identified and recovered
some hens taken from her place
Sunday night. And then Mrs.
Summers called up the produce
man. and wanted to know if any
Plymouth Rock hens had been Of
fered for sale that morning There
had been and she. was soon carry
ing two big fat hens back home.
The evidence was too plain and
Clarence at once admitted the
chickens had been stolen but laid
it onto his father. On warrant
issued from Judge Libby's court
the two were arrested by Constable
Wood and bound over to the May
term of circuit court.

Some Evening i,everies.

much at home is seldom any good.
What is wanted nowadays is a
practical man who can do something
else besides smoke cigarettes and
twist cane. The time to learn to
work and to learn business habits
is in ones youth. He who leads
the life of a butterfly until he is
twenty-five or thirty years of age,
and then recognizes the fact that he
has made an ape of himself, has
precious little to recommend him
when he applies for a job. This
may be chestnut, but it fits not a
few young men in every city in the
union. The boys on the farms are
better off if they only knew it, than
thousands Of the boys who are at
large, wandering hither and thith-
er, searching and looking for rich
bonanzas" to turn up. There is
nothing like being practical, and
there is but one way to be so. Ac-
quire business habits and train
yourself to do good, honest, hard
work Don't waste your time
learning to tie cravat. You can
buy cravats already tied.
A CHEEKY Good morning" often

soothes many a troubled mind to
rest, and heals the wounds which
have either came anew to struggl-
ing soul, or been feopened by the
harsh words or deeds that are spok-

the distinguished citizen of Goldsboro

time he has resided in Charlotte, won
an enviable reputation as a fine young
lawyer and an estimable man. This
official recognition of his merit will
be appreciated by his friends through

ADMITS $4,000 SHORTAGE.

Washington, D. c., May 10.-A de-
felt of about $4,000 in the funds of
the Independent Order of Birth Abra-
ham was discovered as the result OF
an investigation that featured today's
session of that order.
Jacob Schoen, of New York, grand
secretary, made an extended state
ment in explanation of the circum-
stances surrounding the case. He ad-
mitted that he had been somewhat
careless in his administration and said
there had been a shortage in the
administrations funds, but that the
apparent deficit had now been made
up through amounts contributed by
his friends throughout the country.
"Insurgent" forces in the order are
making a strong fight to defeat the
administration ticket.
