THE PRICE MEETING

The evangelistic services q the
Roanoke Rapids Methodist tchurch
have taken an excellent begin
ming and are certainly indicative
of the attainment of worthy re-
suits. W.
Rev. Thurston b. Price is
preaching gospel of universal
cleasing and universal love. His
message represents Jesus Christ
and his ability to save all men Of
every creed or no creed whatso-
ever.
Mr.. |. w. Rollins is directing
the singing in such a fashion
that every attendant feels up
lifted thereby, and the strength
of Gospel in hymn penetrates the
depth of human soul.
There is nothing radical or
sensational in this meeting, but
an earnest appeal to thinking
men, women, boys and girls,
to live the best life. Sincere
labor is being comparatively done
for conservation of permanent
blessing of the spiritual life Of
this place.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH CLEANINCS
Communicated

Convention meets with tn
Christian Church at Rosemar.
tonight Friday Aug. 29) ant
will close on Sunday night. A
cordial invitation is extended Il
the public.
D. A. Hudson preached last
week and J. s. Williams preach
ed this week at the Christian
Church.
Mr.. Wheeden will begin build.
ing the Christian church at once.
The Sunday School department
will be built first. The inside
measurements of the S. S. de-
partment will be 65x40 feet. To
give you an estimate there will
be about five hundred (600)
square feet of floor space more
in the Sunday School department
than there is in the Tabernacle
and some think the Tabernacle
is a large building. We are COM
PEELED to build a large building
in order to accommodate the
large crowds which attend our
services. We make the assertion
without the least fear of contra
diction, that more people attend
the Christian Church than any
other church in the community,
and we intend to work to the end
of getting more. The Tabernacle
is too small to accommodate the
crowds now and as the communi-
ty grows the Christian Church
grows. At the present time we
have 419 members and the work
continues to grow. We believe
we have the largest member
ship in Rosemary or Roanoke
Rapids, or possibly in Halifax
County and the work moves
steadily and evenly on.
Misses Mary Hardison, and
Mason held an ice cream
social at their home last Friday
night for the benefit of the
Christian Church. A nice sum
was realized. Quite Q large
number of young people were
They are very jealous
workers in the Christian church.
Misses Lucy Taylor and Ethel
Waters rendered several musical
selections during the meeting
and will sing during the conven-
ton.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Brewer,
IF Sebrell Va, came to attend
The revival.
The Mems Bible Class had the
largest attendance last Sunday
and so they won the banner.
The classes are doing splendid
work.
Mrs. Iona Robertson will leave
for Chicago to attend
Moody Bible Institute. She will
lake a special course in practial
church work and will be gone
about two years.
J. T. Killiebrew will be sent
10 Cincinnati, Ohio to attend the
international Convention of
Churches of Christ at the ex-
pense of the Church. Our vision |
must broaden and we believe
this can be done by putting the
members in touch with the work. |
Several Thousand delegates from
all parts of the world will be
present.

On Tuesday of last week County
Agent F. G. Tarbox left for Raj
eigh, taking with him four mem.
bers of the Halifax County Pig
Clubs to attend the BOYS short
Course at A. & E. College.
Those who went from Halifax
County are, George Pittman,
Halifax, Jas. and Edgar Laugh
ter, Ringwood, and Clyde Madry,
Scotland Neck. While in Raleigh
these boys were given instruc-
ton in judging and feeding pigs.
The morning hours were given
to attending lectures, while the
afternoons were devoted to play.
On Wednesday afternoon all the
boys were taken up town to see
the interesting places in Raleigh.
Base ball and other games were
enjoyed by all, but the most at
tractive feature to all the boys
was the swimming pool in the
college Y. M. c. A. This was
such a drawing card that it was
hard to keep the boys out, and
at times doors had to be locked.
Every boy from Halifax County
says that he is going back anoth-
er year. All returned home
safely on Saturday.
County Agent, F. G. Tarbox
will return to Raleigh Sunday to
attend the meeting of the county
agents, and farmers convention.
The Agents meeting will extend
Wednesday of this week,
and the Farmers Convention
will be Thursday and Friday.

Just as soon as all the tobacco
has been put into the barns,
every stalk in the field should be
destroyed by cutting them with
stalk cutters, or disc harrows
and plowing them in. Stalks
which are allowed to remain in
the field furnish food for the
diseases and insects which at
times cause considerable loss.
As long as the stalks are alive
the insects and diseases continue
to increase, and this means that
we are aiding rather than trying
to kill out these pests. Some of
the tobacco diseases live on GER
tain weeds, and in spreading
from the tobacco fields they find
places to live over until another
season. The worms continue to
thrive until frost, and then hi
bernate until next season, and as
long as we leave the stalks grow
ing we are only helping these de-
structive pests to increase and
be ready to attack the crop worse
another year.

Realizing the value and need
for good pastures Mr.. A. S. Allen
of Weldon is planning to sow
two acres of mixed grass and
clover pasture in September.
He will also plant two acres of
alfalfa. Not only is it valuable
on account of its feed value, but
it will enable the farmers to pro-
duce at home the necessary hay
for his stock. Alfalfa can be
cut as many as five times a year,
depending on the season and the
land, but it is a rather poor piece
of alfalfa which wont grow
enough to be cut as many as four
times a year. Good alfalfa hay
is the best hay grown.
