Antioch, July 17-Sunday, July Is
was a "Red Letter day. here, the oc-
casion being big Christian Endeav-
or rally, and it was "big" in every
sense of the word. The crowd was
big, the speeches were bigger" ana
the music the biggest of all. me
speeches were made by Rev. DR.. Hill
of Red Springs, Senator Frank Cough,
Robeson's famous blockade preacher,
G. B. Skipper, X. M. Barnes and Ed
Freeman, also of Lumberton. These
ventlemen are good speakers and
brought to our people messages OF
encouragement drawn from their own
experience and observation as Chris
tian workers. The music furnished
by the famous quartet could not have
been duplicated. We know there is
not better musical talent found IN
North Carolina than is found in Lum-
berton, and especially represented In
her uuaret. Their visit We believe
will be the beginning of new epoch
at Antioch.
All were disappointed at not hav-
ing Hon. A. w. Mclean present,
whose visits to our people are always
pleasantly anticipated and bring re-
pret when he doesn't come. We hope
to have him at an early date, also
the Lumberton quartet, Rev. Or.
Greaves, L. R. Varser and others for
another rally and want Mr.. Sharpe
too, but we know we can't pull him
out.
Miss Jessie McPhaul has returned
from a most pleasant visit to Miss
Mildred Wick at Goodwin. She was
accompanied home by Miss Wick and
Miss Parker of Dunn, who will spend
a few days at Glendale, guests OF

This is cider time but the law for
bids its manufacture and sale in Hoke.
We hope "SnyGer" will give us some
more "reminiscences of the good old
times before de war when the neigh
bors met at the cider barrel and pic
nicked at McPhaul's mill. Very few
men can write as interestingly of
those good old days as does "Sny-
der.
For champion cotton and corn and
modern methods of farming, the OBJ
server should visit Glendale farms
owned and operated by ]. A. ana M
II. McPhaul, two of the best N. C.'s
"God blessed Macks", whose farms
methods of farming and living, are
modern and ideal. They are raising
excellent families of cultured and re-
fined boys and girls, who, too, will
play well their part on Efe's battle.
field. Mr.. J. E. McPhaul, son Of ]
A.. has married and settled down al
Glendale. He has built a modern
bungalow and is a promising young
man. He and his Young wife, who
was Miss Marian Toon of Rec
Springs, are quite an addition to
Antioch's social life. A daughter
Miss Jessie. is director of music al
Antioch high school. She was unani
mously reelected for another year, {
case of merit winning. Anothe
daughter, Miss Mary, will next yea
enter her third year at Flora Melon
aid college. Thus we see that J. A
McPhaul is EDUCATING his .childre,
and preparing them for greater ser
vice.
