Greensboro, March 1.-(Special.)-
 The announcement of Frank s. Moody
 for congressman from the sixth dis
 trict was not a surprise to this section,
 as so much had been said about it for
 some time past.
 Mir Moody has many admirers here,
 but he has surely undertaken her
 culean task-that of unseating Captain
 Hobson, who numbers his friends by
 the score among the stalwart and in
 fuential citizens of this section.
 The work MT. Hobson accomplished in helping the farmers of this district is recognized and appreciated. In having
 the government experts show hcw to raise cotton corn and other crops, ex-
 blaming thoroughly the intensive sys-

 A "colonial party" given at the res idenee of Rev. and Mrs. ]. A. Beal, was
 one of the pleasant social events of the past week. Miss Caddell was hostess of the evening, entertaining for the Baraca class of the Baptist church. Elaborate decorations swere done in bunting and flags; games were played, and a very elaborate menu served. Miss
 Caddell, assisted by Mrs. Beal and Mrs. Haynes, received the guests in the
 most charming gowns of ye olden time,
 and one can scarcely see handsomer colonial danes. The class colors, white and blue were in evidence. Miss Hallie McMillan, teacher of a large class in the Methodist Sunday school, was complimented by one of her class recently with beautiful aft ernoon entertainment consisting of heart dice and refreshments. Miss Kathleen Galleland was the attractive hostess and all of her comrades pro-
 nounced the function delightful one.
