certainty of conviction ia much
greater ns the federal statutes
do not provide the loopholes
found in various state laws
through which many criminals
whose gnilt was clearly proved

the operation of this law, it is
believed that criminals will rec

morning Of July 18th, at two O'Clock
the death angel came to the home of
our beloved friend and brother, J.
E. Harper, and took therefrom Susie
Lou, the quiet, gentle, amiable and
only child. This is indeed a crush
ing blow to our neighbor, who has
the heartfelt sympathy of every one.
1t came as terrible shock to our
entire community. some Of which
did not know of her sickness. 1t
comes as a warning to be ready, for
in such an hour as We think not death
may come. Susie Lou was ready for
the messenger of death, having
given her heart to the Lord several
years ago, and was member OF
Bear Swamp Church. All that low.
ing kindness could do wasd one, but
the Lord wanted her, and took hel
to himself. In the presence of ;
large crowd of Borrowing friends
and loved ones we laid her to rest

MISSES FUTRELL ENTERTAIN.
Announce Engagement Of Miss kather'
inc Futrell 10 Rev. A. 0. Moore.


On Tuesday morning, July 22nd,
Misses Futrell entertained in honor
of their house guests. Misses Kate
and Lois johnson, Of Thomasville;
Miss Lucy Reese, of Mount Airy,
and Miss Ethel Dalton, of Winston
Salem. The veranda was decorated
with ferns, rugs and flowers, max
ING quite an attractive scene. The
guests were met at the door by Miss
Katherine Futrell and assembled on
the porch, which had been attrac-
tiyelv decorated with ferns, flowers
and rugs. .
After the guests had arrived
Misses Frances White and Rather
inc Shields, dressed in red, with
white wings and carrying bows and
arrows, and making very picturesqe
cupids, presented score cards to
each one present. The tables were
arranged on the lawn and thlther
the guests repaired to find partners
for the games. When every one
was seated the little cupids present
ed all with cards representing bas-
kets filled with lilies of the valley.
Candles were placed on all the ia
bles, and after being lighted the
guests were told to try their for
tunes by holding their cards over
the candle. Contrary to custom all
had the same fortune, for on each
card appeared these words, "A. O..
NIX. T. F., October, 1913" making
known to all that in October Miss
Katherine Futrell will become the
bride of Mr.. A. O. Moore, of War
saw.
Then the games started. Miss
Eula Shoulars presided at the first
table where cubical hearts were
played. At table number two Miss
SaIlie Josey received the guests.
Here a bowl of white candy balls
was surmounted by guilt cupid.
Each player was given candy tongs
and requested to remove the candy
without overthrowing cupid, but
like the cupid in real life some were
more successful in managing hin
than others.
At the third table the lamp Of
genius was made to burn for Mis-:
Louise Futrell requested each per
son to carry out the following in
junction:
"a verse to the bride, or verse tt
the groom;
Or a verse to Dan Cupid's art;
Some sort of verse you'll have tt
write
If you want the people to thinl
! you are smart"
| At the fourth table Miss Mildred
Edwards instructed all who care'
for such information, to spear an
mend broken hearts.
| At table number five each was re
quired to give helpful informatio
to the bride to be by writing fay
: orite recipe, the recipe book bein
decorated with cupid in cookin
apron and cap, with spoon in hanc
and bore this inscription, "The wa
to mans heart"
Mrs. f. T. Whitehead at the sixt
, table asked each couple to furnis
a room for the brides home, afte
, giving them suites of furniture an
. mucilage for pasting in the bride
book.
Each table was adorned with
center piece Of red canvas and tt
cupids served refreshments consis
ing of heart shaped cakes and cream
After reading the love verses tt
party was dispered.
