106th anniversary of the order. More
than one hundred and fifty people,
consisting of members, visitors and
their families, were present. After
spending an hour or more in the pro-
gram of the evening which consisted
of readings, songs and speeches, which
were well rendered and much appre-
ciated by those present, cake and
cream was served.
1t can be well said that this was the
most enjoyable evening of the season,
and all present seemed ready to do
their part to make the occasion more
pleasant.
After an evening spent in the most
pleasant manner, all went home feeling
that the order had fully demonstrated
the motto of the order, Friendship,

HOllOweII Recommended

Postmaster ii. c. HOllowell has been
recommended by both the County and
State Republican Committees for re-
election as postmaster at PocahOntas
for a period of four years from the,
time his present term expires which
will be July. 1926. Mr.. Hollowell win
have been in charge four years when
his present term expires and so far as
we know has given satisfaction. The
Republican party has no better man
than he and as postmaster he has
never shown any degree Of partiaIity
in the discharge of his public duties
We believe that the recommendation
Of the Republican committee will meet
with the approval of the patrons of
the PocahOntas Office.

CLEANUP DAYS NEXT
MONDAY AND TUESDAY

Whereas, the public health and we'll
being of community depends, in u
large measure, upon its cleanliness,
and
Whereas, the beauty and attractive
ness Of a community depends almost
wholly upon its cleanliness, and
Whereas, observations have led to
the conclusion that the town Of Poca-
hOntas is in need of cleaning-up, and
Since is is the duty, as well as the
custom, of every progressive commun-
ity to have an annual Cleanup Day,
Now therefore, the undersigned, as
mayor of the Incorporated city Of Poca
hontas, does proclaim next Monday and
Tuesday, May 4 and ., as Cleanup
Days in Pocahontas.
On this day. it is requested that
every resident within the corporate
limits set aside few hours for the
purpose of cleaning up his premises,
removing all unsightly rubbish, tin
cans, etc. Cut the weeds before they
get good start. Drain all standing
wafer, that the breeding place of mos
quitoes may be destroyed. 1t is es-
pecially requested that the business
section, particularly in the rear of
buildings, he cleaned up. Those who
are not using wire trash burners are
asked to get same at once and use
them regularly. Clean up and paint
up.

the Incorporated Town of POcahOntas

SINGING CONVENTION
DRAWS GREAT CROWD

Probably the largest crowd ever as
sembled at one place in Randolph coun-
ey, save the time when the war relic
train visited POcahontas i'm 1918, gath
cred at Supply last Sunday, the occa-
sion being the first meeting for this
year of the Randolph County Singers
Association. Conservative estimates
place the number at 1000, while many
others think that fully 5000 people
were present.
The day was ideal and people were
there from every section of Randolph
and adjoining counties to hear the
music and to enjoy the hospitality of
the good people of that community.
The convention was called to order
promptly at ten o'clock by John d.
Campbell. president OF the association
Crawford Hamm of AIiddlebrOOl, sec
rotary, was unable to be present on
account of illness and Frank Byrd of
POcahontas was elected secretary pro
tenn The forenoon was spent in gen
eral singing directed by leaders of the
different classes, and the election of
officers which resulted in the re-elec-
tion of John ID. Campbell, president
and Frank Byrd of Pocahontas secre-
tary. Five classes registered, as fol-
lows: Supply, Sharum, Running Lake,
Biggers and Success.
At the noon hour a fine dinner was
| spread upon long tables arranged in a
hollow square in the beautiful grove
and everybody present received a cor
dial invitation to partake of the many
good things to eat. The arrangement
for the serving of the dinner was per-
feet in every detail and showed that
the good people of the community did
not propose to leave anything undOne
that would add to the pleasure and
day to be host to the rest of Randolph
county and her visitors and they re-
spOnded nObly to the call. Thirty
years ago Little Black township was
the home of the senior editor Of the
Star Herald and we found on this oc-
casion the same old spirit of gener-
Gus hospitality in the sons and daugh-
= ters of our old friends of former days
that existed in the hearts Of their faith
ers and mothers when we used to meet
in like conventions at JohnstOn's Chap
el and Salem. 1t is certainly a great
community, made up of good people
and they gave us great day.
| At one o'clock the association re-
convened and program for the after
noon was announced, which consisted
of special music by the registered
classes, together with several quar-
tettes and other special selections. John
II. Holt of ReynO led five hundred
voices in the singing of half dozen
old time songs, after which the conyen-
/ tion adjourned.
Sharum was selected as the next
meeting place and the date was fixed
| for the Bird Sunday in June.

MANIFEST INTEREST
IN TOMATO GROWING

Much interest is being shown in the
Randolph county tomato crop. The
rain which fell Monday morning gave
new life to all farming interests.
Already farmers are striving to see
who can produce the largest yield of
tomatoes. The business men are Civ
ing the growers n great deal of encour-
agement because of the Importance of
the tomato crop to this section of the
country in a financial way. The toma-
to crop will bring about $4,000 in
cash into the county during the dull
months of the year.
Conditions were never more favor
able for good crop. All tomato grow
ers report their plants up in good
shape and that they will be ready for
setting in the field by about May LIST.
The quality of the tomatoes will be
much improved because of the ideal
conditions under which they are being
grown, Tomatoes set in the field May
LIST will produce early fruit of better
quality than later settings.
NoadOubt we viii all feel prouder of
Old Randolph county when she be-
comes one of the greatest truck and
fruit growing counties of the South,
which she is destined to become when
we realize the importance of other
crops besides cotton.
