That the coming Shrine Exposition

|all over this section of the state is
evident by the number of inquiries
coming into the local offices of the
Exposition daily, and the large num-
ber Of tickets sold by the young la
dies who are canvassing that city in
an effort to sell tickets to every citi-
zen and visitor to Durham.
Should the Exposition not come up
to snuff'-but that is not being count
ed in at all-the purpose for which it
is being given is more than enough
to cause every person in the entire
Eastern portion of North Carolina to
purchase one or more tickets to the
big show.
The proceeds of the Exposition are
to go towards the purchase of a play
ground complete for the use of the
children of that city, and as soon as
such is completed the deed will be
turned over to the city officials with
the compliments of the Shriners of
the temple located there.
But there is to be something at

In view of the approaching departure
of our beloved pastor, Rev. Delmar r.
Trout, to accept the passionate of St.
PauTs, Springfield, Mass, we deem il
fitting as church and society so sig
nally prosperous under his long and
splendid nliniStrationS, to record our
high appreciation of his inspiring and
most successful laborS among this PEG
pie, recognized by state and general con.
ventiOns of the Universalist church and
far beyond UNCONVENTIONAL lines. Mean
time, he has had a potent voice in com
munity affairs in which counsel and
active participation We're sought, and
won the universal approval and esteem
Of his townsmen, whom he served with
a purity of purpose and performance
even in the line of helpful and beneficent
achievement because of his high and fine
ideals.
Few pastors in the annals of the
church militant crown their labors with
such marked accomplishments - results
gratefully recognized by his people and
an enduring monument to his faithful
and tireless efforts. In entering a larger
fellowship to continue hsi capable and
conscientious service for the Master and
mankind, we invoke for himself and his
cstimable family the blessings of health
and material prosperity in their new re
latiOnships. We promise an undimin-
iShed measure of affectionate regard and
gratitude for all you have brought Il
us during the many years of pleasant
association in the varied activities of q
forward-looking church which will con.
tiuUe to invite you across the little span
of separation and ask the giver of every
good and perfect gift to watch over you
while we are absent one from another. y

CITY OF METHUEN
is NOT A CITY
Is Town Though Operating Tn
der City Charter = y Years.

BOSTON, Jan. THE supreme court
today dismissed petition brought by the
attorney general to GUST the members of
the city government of Alethuen. The
court found that there had been errors
of organization in the process by which
the town became a city, but that to re-
move the officials as requested after they
had been in office two years would work
disaster to the conduct gof the eommun-
ity's affairs during that period without
correcting the condition. $50
The decision, which is by the full bench,
finds that chapter $50 of the acts ,of 1917
incorporating the town OF Methuen as a
city was not IN accordance with the pro-
visions of the state constitution.
The legislature acted on a petition of
a number o, citizens asking for a charter
as a city and on March /, 1917, the leigsla-
tive committee on cities gave a public
hearing in the town nail of Methuen at
which an expert explained the various
plans for city government. A large ma
ioritX of the citizens present voted in ia
vor of plan Il and later the legislature
passed a statute to incorporate Methuen
as a city.
1t is provided that where a town de-
sires a change in its form of government
all its inhabitants must be warned of a
meeting duly called for such purpose.
That course was not pursued at Methuen
but it was contended by friends of the
night that the legislative committee met
! in Methuen was a substantial compliance
with the constitution.
The court holds that before Methuen
can complete organization legally as city
/ it must observe the requirements Of the
constitution. 1t is pointed out that as
AIethuen has been illegally conducted as
a city it is within the power of the leg
/ islature now IN session to ratIfy and con-
| firm what has been done.
