Marshville news in the April 2, 1918, issue of The Monroe Journal
The beautiful Easter day just passed left nothing to be
desired overhead nor underfoot. Despite the fact that some serious minded
person had suggested a “hatless” Easter, there was no let up on the new
adornments and variegated colors in our little town; and really we are prone to
believe a “hatless” Easter would rob many of all significance of the day.
Mrs. Tiny Mullis of Wingate has been visiting her brother,
Mr. J.T. Williams, the past week.
Rev. J.W. Little and family left Friday for Charlotte, where
they will reside in the future.
Mrs. H.T. McBride left Tuesday for the Charlotte Sanatorium
where she underwent an operation Saturday. Mrs. McBride’s many friends will be
glad to know she is doing nicely.
Mrs. R.A. Eubanks of Rutherfordton is spending a week with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. Medlin.
Miss Jack Smith of Monroe visited friends here several days
the past week.

Charlotte of a shopping expedition.

Olive an dFrank Newsome motored to Camp Jackson Sunday to see the Marshville

S.C., arrived Sunday to be with his father, Mr. Albert Rushing, who is

Sunday at home.
Mr. Vann Marsh of Kannapolis was the guest of home folks
Sunday.
Miss Glennie Meacham and brother Mr. Julian Meacham of
Fountain Hill spent the week-end here with friends and relatives.
Activities at the Red Cross work room have been at a stand
still the past week on account of the protracted meeting at the Methodist
church.
The various go-easy clubs on our streets have been missed these
past few days and we will assume that they are gardening, and to do it
properly, will not resume meetings till they have “laid by.”
