lngs. Prayer meetings are being held
In the homes; at several homes at the
same time. The meeting is expected to
continue for the next two weeks.
Mr.. N. S. Fowler went up to Wash
ington about the close of the reunion
as he thought the crowd would not
be so large and he would have more
room on the trains, but not so; Mr..
Fowler says the trains were so crowd
ed there was hardly standing room
and they really suffered, being so
crowded.

The remains of Berry Dpscomb, an
old colored man, formerly of Jones'
vile, were buried here yesterday.
Berry had moved away from Jones'
VILE few years ago and was living
with relatives and while minding a
cow to Craze the cow seemed to be a
vicious animal and turned upon the
old man and gored him so badly that
he died.
Uncle Sam is doing now what he
ought to have been doing all the while,
keeping our secrets from the Germans.
If one will travel the railways and
the public hihhways and then watch
the shows and carnivals they will
not see much indication of war, high
cost of living or scarcity of money.
This is shown by the negroes as we'll
as the white people.

found Mr.. M. B. Lee on the train,
just getting in from the Washington
reunion. He stopped over in Char
lotte with his sisters. He reports
