Little Miss Mildred Crawford and
Master Phil Crawford, Jr., returned
home Monday from Kinston, where
they went last Thursday on a visit
to the home of Mr.. and Mrs. P. H
| Crawford.
Miss Hazen Crawford spent Friday
right and Saturday at Princeton
where she attended the commence
ment exercises o, the excellent school
there. and was he guest in 1he hos
| pitable home of Miss Gerlie Grantham
| Mr.. and Mrs. John Benson, from
| Genoa, spent Saturday night with Mr.
and Mrs c. L. Beard, and attended
church at Spring Hill on Sunday.
| Mr. and Mrs. George Davis, from
near Goldsboro, were visitors here
| Saturday night and Sunday, at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. William Smith.
Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Howell visited
| at Mr. and Mrs. George Pearkins' last
| Sunday for a short while.
There was quarterly meeting at
Spring Hill Free Will Baptist Church
| last Saturday and Sunday at which
there was large crowd in attendance.
Mr.. and Mrs. d. A. Sasser, of Colds
boro, were in our community last
Sunday, where they were visitors at
the home of Mr. Sasser's mothers,
Mrs. Bette Sasser.
Quite a crowd from here attended
the game of ball IN Princeton last
Friday afternoon between Rosewood
and Princeton and of course rooted"
for Rosewood.
The game of baseball played in
Princeton last Friday afternoon be
tween Princeton school and Rosewood
resulted in a victory for Rosewood
by a score of 9 to Z. There was a
large crowd in attendance, and the
"rooters" Oh both sides were numer
Gus, and noisy. In fact, some of our
local ''rooters" have not yet recov
cred their voices, from the excessive
use they were put to in hurrahing fol,
Rosewood. 1t is a little strange that
''rooter'' suffers from a disabled
throat, instead of a sore nose.
Mr.. Timmie Perkins tells us tha. il
the farmers will plant enough wheat
to justify him in purchasing thresl--
ing outfit, that he will rig up a mod
ern thresher with gasolene engine
and thresh the grain in the commune
ty. The excuse some farmers hav'
for not planting wheat is that the
~o+ get it threshed This can b.
an excuse no longer, and we hope C
see more seeded this fall than has
ever been before. We think present
prices of flour will be beneficial in
bringing about this result.
DR.. Will Crawford and Mr.. Jesse
| Evans went to Raleigh last Saturda:
morning to consult DR.. e. IT. Lewis in
| regard to en operation on Mr. Evans
| eye, with the result that an operation
was not thought advisable. Mr. Evans
| has a cataract on the right eye,
| caused from an injury, and while it
interferes considerably with his sight
| it is thought best not to remove it.
They also visited the places of in
terest in the capital city before re
| turning on the afternoon train.
| On our return home from Raleigh
last Saturday, we visited friends in
Selma, and relatives in Smithf1eld
| and were struck with the progress oi
these two live, progressive little cities
They have made wonderful strides iT
| the past few years, and do not re
semble the small towns they were !:
few years ago. After a day very
pleasantly spent, and meeting many
old friends of our early professional
life, and spending a most enjoyable
afternoon with Mr.. and Mrs. A. B
Sasser, of Smithfield, who have hosts
of friends here, in their old home, We
returned home with the genial. clever
Capt Jack Collier, on the Smithfielt
Limited
While walking along the streets o
our loved home city, these Word
caught our eye, "Aint it hell to b.
poor!" AS we were returning to ou
humble home, we thought on them
and of the thousands Of human being
throughout the land who could en-
1
Lown bosom there was a feeling O
their adaptability to our own life, an
as we pondered them over and owe
again, we were reminded of the fac
that that which should concern man
kind most and upon which depend
his usefulness here, and his happi
ness hereafter, is not earthly riches
i but hearts rich in their love to Go
G and their fellowman, and hands ric
S in doing good deeds and lives rich
! the fulfillment of those divine con
: mandments which insure US evel
!: lasting life. Yea, truly, we had rathe
g be a Lazarus here, and feel the grint
ings of poverty sufficiently to caus
r. us to question, "Aint it hell to /
y poor?' than to be Dives, clothed
II purple and fine linen, to awake fro
s our last long sleep to know that it
ol hell to be rich.
We were indeed glad to hear fro
$ our boyhood friend, Mr.. r. A.
n Smith, a few days since, and to kno
