Mrs. Hughes Hostess
to Philathea Glass

The Philathea class of the City Road
Methodist Episcopal Sunday school
held it's regular monthly business
meeting Thursday evening at the
home of Mrs. S. G. Hughes, with II
members present.
Mrs. Elby Parrish presided over the
meeting, and the Rev. J. K. Worth
ington led in prayer. The class sang
''Blest Be the Tie that Binds" with
Mrs. Margaret Gupton following with
the Scripture, taken from the 18th
chapter of John.
Reports from the committees show
ed that each member had been at
work.
For six weeks prior to Mothers
Day, the class had been divided into
two sides, the whites and the reds,
with each side striving to get the
most new members to attend Sunday
school. Since the contest started the
class has grown from Is to 40 MEM
bers on roll, with an average attend
ance of about IS each Sunday. When
the attendance was averaged it was
found that. the whites were losers in
the membership campaign, so on
Thursday afternoon they will enter
tain the reds at a supper at the Rock
Mill.
The class reported that it had
raised $500 toward paying for the
new seats that had to be bought to
take care of the large crowds who are
now attending the City Road Sunday
school, since the other classes have
grown along with the Philathea
class.
A social hour was enjoyed, during
which the hostess served delicious re-
f1eshments.

community in which they live.
He assumes also that the worker
is entitled to human hours.
He says it does not matter whether
or not the individual employer can
afford to guarantee such wages and
hours in his especial area; if he can
not afford to he had better get out,
go elsewhere and leave his deserted

er j. S. Dorton evidently believes in
getting an early start.
It's a long time until October but
plans for the 1888 State Fair began
today when members of the board of
agriculture's fair committee and Mr..
Dorton inspected the exposition
grounds near Raleigh in preparation
of report on needs and policies for
the far this year"
Operated successfully by the State
for the first time, Mr.. Dorton report
ed that profit of $15,548.43, includ-
ing $500 in permanent improvement S,
was returned to the taxpayers by the
1887 exposition.
Operation of the fair by the De-
partment of Agriculture was begun
March 4, 1887, with 11,639.82," Dorton
said. Adding the $8,O48.43 net profit,
the State will have $19,68825 with
which to operate the 1888 exposition.
"1he fact that the number of exhi
b:tors was nearly doubled during the
1877 fair is Of primary significance

total of 100 exhibitors of livestock, All
Club, home agent, educational, art,

and culinary exhibits were entered
last year, or an increase of 1873 exhi-
bitors over the previous fair.
1--WE are equally proud of the fact
that $12,664.92 in premiums were paid
to North Carolinians, fair premiums
being limited to State exhibitors"
Fair Manager Dorton said that per-
manent improvements placed at the
fair grounds in 1887 included the re-
construction of an Industrial building,
rewriting of the electrical distribution
system and the construction of a new
walk-way leading to the grandstand.
The financial report of the 1887 fair
revealed that total revenue amounted
to $68,687O1, administration expenses
$5,137.27, fair operating expenses $44,-
