45THANNTVERSARY
PARTY GIVENFOR
THE F. c. SMITHS
Their Daughter, Mrs. Weaver,
Springs Surprise on EN-;
Friends Pour in
SINGING BY THE QUARTET

A surprise party, in celebra-
tion of their 45th wedding ami
versary, was sprung upon Cap
tain and Mrs. F. c. Smith at
their home on West Franklin
street Monday evening by their
daughter, Mrs. ]. Ralph Weaver.
They didn't know what to make
of it when their friends came
streaming in soon after the sup
per hour.
In the early part of the year
1881 young Fred Smith, as he
was known then, worked in the
express office in Goldsboro.
Every day he would give a let
ter to a chum of his who served
as express messenger on the
train to New Bern. When the
train came to the edge of the
village of La Grange the mes
senger would take up a piece of
lightwood from the pile near the
stove in the car, stick the letter
in a slit in the wood, and throw
it out of the car door. The
lightwood served as a weight to
keep the letter from blowing a.
way. A girl who lived in a big
house about hundred yards a.
way would be looking from the
window, and as the train passed
out of sight she would come
down to the track and get her
letter.
That was the way Captain
Smith carried on his courtship.
There was only one west
bound train day, and that came
through Lagrange at about
breakfast time. So, since the
couple were going westward, the
marriage took place early in the
morning. With the rice cling

MORE MAD DOGS
AREDISCOVERED
IN THE VILLAGE
Fourteen Persons Now Under
Pasteur Treatment to
Prevent Rabies
THIRD TINE FOR sTROwDs

The situation in Chapel Hill
with regard to mad dogs has be-
come even more alarming than it
was at the time of the Pink
Guthrie episode last month.
Last week the pet puppy of
the Bruce Strowd family on
Cameron avenue bit Mrs.
Strowd, Bobbyyand Billy Strowd,
and two of the Guy Schmitt's
children, and one child
of C. E. Graham's, who
were playing with it, are un-
der observation. The dog was
killed and was found to have had
rabies. Everybody whom it bit
is taking the Pasteur treatment.
Fifteen persons in Chapel Hill
are now taking the treatment.
The Strowd family have had
a remarkable run of bad luck
with their pets. This is the
third time they have been Bit
ten by dogs which, upon exami-
nation by the state bureau of
hygiene, proved to have been in
fected.
One of the worst cases is that
of the mad dog killed out on the
Clay Hogan place northwest of
Chapel Hill. DR.. S. A. Nathan,
the health officer, says this one
is known to have bitten II other
dogs before it was killed.
Then, another dog was Killed
Sunday on Franklin street; and
Tuesday Bud Perry's pointer
died, and it's head has been sent
to Raleigh for examination.
The citizens of the town are
again warned that they must
comply with the ordinance re-
quiring all dogs, when not con-
fined at home, to be muzzled and
carried on leash.

Bruce is dead. He died We'd

This shepherd dog, the beloved
companion of his master, M. c.
S. Noble, was a good fighter and
a good lover. With the passing
of his youth he quit his battling
and concentrated on his affec-

went everywhere together-to
Peabody Hall, to the bank, to the
Episcopal church, on trips to

Bruce was born in 1912,

he was Mrs. Archer's. In 1913
she gave him to Mark Noble,

Chapel Hill Chaf

In many city communities one
of the duties of a husband is to
take the family dog out for a
walk. Until recently the lords
of the household in Chapel Hill
were free from this chore, be-
cause all dogs roamed where
they would. But the alarm over
hydrophobia has brought a
change. Sunday afternoon, look
ing out of the window, ! saw the
President of the University lead
ing a terrier on leash.
Another result of the new
muzzle-and-leash law is the con-
struction of kennels throughout
the village. Two of these have
appeared beside fraternity
houses on Columbia street.
The committee appointed by
the board of aldermen to de-
eide on a proper type of muzzle
have selected one, and it has
been put on sale at Pendergraph
& McCauley's.

freeze did more damage to auto

As to Pajdmds

"A cOnSlQeraDl0 literature
seems to be growing up around
pajamas. In the New York
World, a few days ago, Haywood
Br0hn devoted his entire column
to them; and in Scribner's maga-
zine l have just been reading a
short story for which pajamas
provide the motif.
The writer's of these two
pieces are not concerned with a
phase of the subject which l
have discussed in these columns
several times: the supersession
of nightshirts by the two-piece
costume. The reason for this is
easy to see. New York is more
modish and sophisticated than
our part of the country, and the
extinction of nightshirts is
there a fait accompli. 1t is
taken for granted-there is no
use talking about it any more.
/ have no doubt that a haber-
dasher on Fifth avenue or
Broadway, if you walked in and
asked for a nightshirt, would
look upon you as amazedly as
though you asked for a lace
ruffle for your neck, or a pow
dered wig, or a silver snuff box.
Of course, here too, pajamas
are easily in the ascendant, but
our population still includes a
good number of conservatives.
Two members of the University
faculty, Collier Cobb and William
de B. MacNider, l long ago re-
corded as users and militant de-
tenders of the old-fashioned rig.
And later told of the consterna-
tion of Glenn Wright of Green's
rboro when, unexpectedly detain-
ed here for the night, he found
himself nightshirtless. Hal
Worth of Asheboro wrote in to
let it be known that he was still
among the faithful, and Francis
d. Winston, the baron of BERTHE,
was recently added to the roll.
And Alfred w. Haywood, a Car
dina alumus resident in New
York, clings to the sleeping garb
of his ancestors. l suppose that
he manages to outfit himself by

Fuller took several filings at Su-

Miss Wills.
The Illness of suzanne's father.

singles, though she finds it possible
to leave him long enough to play
three doubles or mixed matches in
