The members of the local camp Woodmen of the World held their annual feed in their hall Wednesday night complimentary to all members of the camp, members of the order in Rosemary, visiting Sovereign and to several of the ladies of the town. Music appropriate to the festivication was furnished by the Roanoke Rapids Band under the leadership of Mr. Shaw, in their own inimitable manner. Speeches to the purposes and foundation principles of the Woodmen of the World with touches of humor in keeping with such occasions were made by Rev. Messrs. L.N. Taylor, T.S. Crutchfield and L.B. Jones and Messrs. J.T. Killibrew and J. Myrick. A tempting menu of oysters, barbecue, fruits and accessories to match satiated the appetites of all present, even to the most corpulent.
