A revival is in progress at Pine
Forest Church, which was begun OF
Monday night. There is very mucl
interest being manifested, and WI
| trust that tidal wave of divine bless
munity. And religious awakening
such as has not been seen here il
some time, may be felt. The openin;
sermon was preached by Rev. E. Il
: Davis, of Goldsboro, and his subjec
, was Faith In his clear, forcibl
: and logical manner, he presented tn
truths of his text, and made the wa
a so plain that none may err therein

n raway this week, services being hel
n at IL a. m. and 1880 p. m.
ii Out of the number of boys who wi
s participate in the corn contest, W
: notice the names of six from our set
: ton, all of them pupils of our exec
E lent school at Rosewood, which give
e us increased pride in the progressiv
L
ems our faith in it's future agricult,
e raj welfare.
[lI The martins have. come, and so he
e that tired feeling, and we now kno
that "Springtime, gentle Annie," is
the air, and our respect for tt

- creased, when we look back and r.

- since he made his debut on groundho
day.
Mr.. John E. Smith who was a de
: egate to the district conference at Fa
- sons, tells us that the trip was OF
- of the most enjoyable of his life. T
- was the guest of Col. and Mrs. Isa;
Faison, whose unbounded hospitali
he very much enjoyed, and it W;
while at their home that his cleric
- appearance caused him to be taken f,

We received through the mail tods
from the Canal Zone a cocoanut, ju
as it came from the tree. The addre
was simply written on the shell, al
three ten-cent stamps of the Isthml
of Panama denomination, place
" thereon. 1t was a huge piece of ma
10 nearly as large as a mans head, al
it would have amused a native of tn
rs country to have seen us trying to e
IL the nut out. We are not sure, b
SIS think we are indebted to our youl
friend, Mr.. Lester .Snipes, son of N
OF and Mrs. John w. Snipes, who fills
~ very responsible position in the Pos
Office Department there, for the cul
er osity. We have seen many cocoanu
p, but this is the first we ever saw in t
u full dress, just as it grew on the TIRE
OF course, all our community
justly proud Of the victory the Ros
wood boys won in the debate at PHI

u thing into consideration, there is
doubt but that they are entitled to
tie congratulations of every one who b
o. the welfare of the school at hea
la Their speeches were credit to thel
of selves, credit to the school and ST
