As the work of preparing feasts

we can picture those Pilgrim moth-

Those colonial days may have
been some of the proverbial

they were hard days for women,
now in retrospect, when
recurs, one of the special things
for which women should be grateful
today, is that they did not come
over in and share
the privations of those women. A
bright woman has said that the
grim mothers had more courage and
more praise than the
grim fathers, for they not only bore
all the privations and dangers which
the Pilgrim fathers stood but they
also had to endure the Pilgrim
fathers themselves.

THANKSGIVING
Pretty Early Morning; Marriage.
It has been said that be the hour
when it may, there will be guests
at the wedding. And so it was
at o'clock this morning, when a
large number of friends assembled
in the Memorial Baptist to
witness the marriage of Mr. James
F. Davenport and Miss Blanche
Flanagan.
The church beautifully
decorated for the marriage, the
alter being a bank of green house
plants flowers with a lighted
arch overhead. The windows were
darkened and mellow lights shed a
on the attractive picture.
Preceding the bridal party Lee
John Bagwell, the
pages, rolled a white covering over
the carpet aisle.
Miss Patrick gracefully
presided at the and rendered
the wedding march as the bridal
party filed in to their respective
positions and as they passed out

The ushers, Messrs. B. W. Mose-

came the bride's maids, Misses
Sophia Jarvis, Lizzie Jones, Lina

Some Carolina farmers
have raised cotton, for a fact, this

Laurinburg who planted acres
and gathered bales therefrom.
This is the kind of farming that
pays. We have always held to the
belief that would make more
money if they would plant fewer
of any crop and fertilize and
cultivate those acres thoroughly.
This would bring better return than
by scattering the same amount of far-.
and labor over a larger
of acres. It is the small acreage
well tilled that pays best.

Cuba is about to issue, be given

free trade with country, which
would increase the value of her
sugar production to the extent of
doubling her income; she could
make her loan much easier and at
three per cent instead of five, would
doubtless increase her prosperity in
every way. The union would not
be the annexation of a subject or de-

upon equal terms as a sovereign state
of the United States. Senator New-

It is a splendid building and when
the school opens it, towns of
