MA pUsENBERRY's GIRLS

The Junior Galeda Glass of the
Mt. Olive Baptist Church of which
DR.. C. H. Clark is the pastor, gave
very entertaining drama in the
Sunday school room of the church
on Monday night. The Sunday
school of this historic church has
taken on new life under the manage
ment of Mr.. G.. P. Baker as Super
intendent and at Teachers Meet
ing it was decided to ask the Dea-
cons Council for three nights on
which the young people Of the
church might entertain. This was
readily granted by those in charge
and consequently the Junior Galedas
had a very successful stunt night.
Ma Dusenberry, Miss Marie Boyd
and Pa Dusenberry, Miss Myrtle Bid
dux, carried their gearls and boys
too, on a concert tour. There were
several creditable selections from
Dunbar. One of the Miss Dusen
berrys, Miss Vivian Clarke, gave one
of. the best amatuer renditions oil

LET DEMOCRACY BE WORLD.
WIDE BOTH IN SPIRIT AND
PRACTICE.

The war conditions grow steadily
more serious. Now that Petrograd
seems to be in the hands of the enc
my and Russia apparently on the
verge of civil strife and internal re-
volution, the allied forces are begin
ming to shake their heads significant
ty. But even though Russia should
fall clear out of the war game, auto
cratic Germany must and will in the
long run be forced to acknowledge a
world democracy. This for many
reasons, among which is the fact that
it is right that world peace should
not be concluded only on the ground
of absolute justice to all nations and
peoples, however weak and numerical
ly small they may be. Nations
should not be overrun and intimi-
dated and their moral and commercial
rights disregarded and their civil
liberties restrained simply because
they are small and some other nation
is large and powerful. The Negro
has, as well as many other dependent
people, had some bitter experiences
of restrained civil and social rights,
and 1t is to be hoped that this war
will not conclude until democracy in
its highest and truest sense has been
firmly and irrevocably established in
all the world and for all the people

THE VANGUARD LAUGHED TOO

whole outfit of irregular Baptists

the church returning to the fold. The
Vanguard even dignified ]. H. Shell

Deacon Stewart and Preacher Miller
and a number of strong men and
women, rose up in the power of her
might and in the strength of God
shook the notorious little bunch as
rotten rags from their stronghold and
lined themselves squarely up with the
Scriptural forces of Gods church, and
by large vote decided to meet and
represent in the Missionary Baptist

UNION VICTORIOUS OVER
HAMPTON.

On one of the finest days of the
season Union and Hampton struggled
for sixty minutes in their titanic night
for pigskin supremacy, which result
ed in Hampton swallowing the bitter
pill of defeat at the close score of
3 to 0, while the victorious Union
warriors unfurled their triumphant
Colors to the sky. Red and steel were
here, there and everywhere. Under
excellent leadership of Coach Robin
son the home boys worked with clock
like precision and the superhumanly
developed Unionites displayed such
agSressiveness that the seasiders
we're completely bewildered and knew
not what to do. The Union gridiron-
lst surpassed the visitors in every
department of play.
Hampton tried to use her steam
power drive and pillow Unions line
but she was astonished to find that
the once weakness of the red and
steel disappeared, then she resorted
TO passing which also proved to be
Unions liking as all of her passes
were broken up either by the nimble
egory or they fell into the waiting
hands of Taylor. On the other hand
ylucles would pass to either Taylor,
Smith or Woods without the least him
drance.
Unions entire line held like a stone
wall while the backs were constantly
present with their bulk of power.
Capt. Puryear played stellar ball both
on the offense and defense. Tank"
Woods was a shining light and plowed
the Hampton line with the same re-
gularity that the British tanks are
blowing the fields of Flanders The
game was Unions from the opening
whistle until the last minute was
played. The decision came in the
second quarter, when Hucles success
fully booted the pigskin between the
upriehts. The. red and steel sup
! rorters went wild with delight, Twic e
| Union carried ball to HamptOn's
three-y ard line only to be rushed back
by the mighty effort of the giant
seasiders. The Richmonders kept
the bail in Hampton's territory and
never was her victorious goal in dan
GER. When the appearance of danger
threatened the red and steel line raj
lied and held the ponderous seaside
backs in their tracks. Owl was east
" the star for Hampton while the
entire home aggregation comes in 10,
an equal share of the glory. TIL,
catching of long passes by Taylor an,
, Gregory's forty-yard run were th'
features of the game. Hucles' punt
ing and passing were superb.

FAR M INGTON,

Since our last write-up from this
place the dark-winged messenger of
Death has swOoped down into our
community and claimed the spirit of
Mrs. Susie (Dysart) Elliott. Mrs.
Susie was en- route home from Fay
etteville, where she had been taking
treatment for her health, when the
end came. She died November 3rd
and was buried November 4th in the
Pennington Cemetery by the side of
her little babe who preceded her to
the silent shore only a few months
ago. Her funeral was preached by
Rev. j. II. Bishop, assisted by Revs.

all who knew her. She was a faith
full member of the c. p Church here.

worker and an assistant teacher in
our public school until a few weeks

sign on account of her failing health.

Sherman Dysart;, two brothers, two
sisters and host of relatives and
