Prof. Mobiles address at the
graded school Wednesday night
was fine. and the students and
large audience present were de-
lighted and edited. The COM
mencement exercises Friday
night proved to be a great sue
cess. The crowd was the largest
ever seen at this institution of
learning. To those who have
seen the workings Of the school
since it was established about
seven years ago the progress and
increased interest in the institu-
ton is apparent. Our people are
encouraged with past attain
ments and are looking forward
to still greater achievements.
On last Tuesday night Bishop
Strange preached a very able
sermon in theEpiscopal church to
large and attentive audience.
Ten members were presented for

served very acceptably as pastor.

among US, and more especially
to learn that he is to make his
home at Hope Mills in the near
future. Plans are on foot tc
erect a Parish house in Hope
Mills. With men like Bishop
Strange and Mr.. Duncan behind
this worthy cause, we may resi-
assured that the work will begin
at an early date. Mr.. Duncan
has changed his appointments
for services at this place to the
first, second and fifth Sundays
in each month, his next appoint
ment being here on the first Sun
day in May at IL a. m.
