ENTERTAIN THE TEACHERS
The Business and Professional Wo-
mems Club of Wilson entertained the
teachers of the Wilson public schools
at the home of Mrs. Geo. Stanton last
evening. A pleasant evening was
spent. There were speakers and mu-
sic, aesthetic dancing and other in
teresting features.
Preceding the reception of the
teachers the Club held business ses-
sion presided over by the president,
Miss Julia Farmer. Miss Bruce Ev-
of the executive committee at which
time the resignation of Miss Annie
Morris as second vice president and
Miss Lille Baton as treasurer were
received and accepted. The execu-

Miss Mamie Stokes as treasur r.
Miss Stokes, treasurer. annou ICED
that $50 was cleared by the Club
from the barbecue dinner sold on
|
the Clubs hospital fund.
The Club decided to have a booth
at the Wilson County Fair the latter
part of October. Miss Kate Barnes
was named chairman of the commit
tee in charge of the booth.
The Clubs guests consisting of the
teachers of the Maplewood Avenue
School, Kenan Street School and
Winstead's Elementary School were
received on the broad porch of Mrs.
Stanton's pretty home. The porch
was tastefully decorated with zinnias
and other summer flowers and ferns
Mrs. Stanton, Miss Lucille Stanton
and others served punch during the
evening.
An entertaining program had been
arranged in honor of the guests An
address by Mr.. w. A. Lucas was an
especially interesting feature of the
program.
Mr.. Lucas congratulated the Bus
mess and Professional Women's
Club upon its organization and worth
while achievements. He declared
tions were prone to fail to look be-
meath the surface and see the faults
and needs of the community. But
every individual and every organiza
tion should seek the correction of any
evils that may exist. There should
be an individual recognition of an in
dividua1 responsibility.
Mr.. Lucas, who is president of the
Kiwanis Club, asked the Business
Women to cooperate with his club
in securing better things for the COM
munity. He stated that he was sure
the other clubs of the city desired
this cooperation.
Mr.. Lucas said he was sure if any
woman present should take a visitor
ir the local postoffice she would be
ashamed of the building. A public
cf $4,000 deserves a better building
than that in which the postoffice is
located here.
The courthouse is very inadequate
for the work of Wilson county Last
week during a term of Superior
Court 1000 people were compelled
ocrowd into a courtroom which has
q seating capacity of 400. The sher-
| iff in an office 1 5 by Is feet in size is
compelled to handle the business of
his office without room for needed
deputies. The other offices in the
court house are so small that the
| business of the county can not be
handled without great delay. The
! organizations of the town must stand
for a better postoffice and court
house. Taxes are necessary, but the
wealth of the county should give back
| in taxes sufficient money to erect
| these needed buildings
Mr.. Lucas urged the club to also
consider the promotion of a city
park and civic swimming pool.
The speaker said the, homes in
Wilson were the pride OF the COM
munity. The individual progress o.
