Our town was honored last week with some distinguished visitors. Governor Cameron Morrison and little daughter Angelia, Rev. Evan Dhu. Cameron of Oklahoma, called to see Mrs. Janie Muse and family, and Mrs. E.A. McFayden, whom the Governor calls “Cousin Betsey Ann.” Congressman W.J. Sears and wife and daughter, from Florida, stopped over night at the Greenwood Inn on his way to Washington, and were pleased with the fare and hospitality of Miss McLean.
After months of extreme suffering, Mrs. Flora Cameron passed away Monday from her home on Route 3. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. M.D. McNeill at Cypress church. Mrs. Cameron was a woman of refined character and noble qualities, and in her youth was a beautiful lady and very popular.

JACKSON SPRINGS
One of the largest crowds of the season was here for the dance on Saturday night. It looks like old times to see a crowded floor. A large number of towns were represented, some coming from quite a distance.
During the hot weather visitors and residents are taking advantage of the swimming pool near the spring, and the lake where we get our power for lights. At the present there are bathing suits for sale here, and the Sandhill Drug Store has a few rubber bathing caps to keep the hair dry.
The community picnic was not a complete failure on last Tuesday evening, although it was raining. Quite a number of people brought their picnic lunch to the dormitory and all feasted together, played many games and had some special music by Miss Ella May Poole of Raeford, and other young ladies. The picnic was to be held at the McKenzie Mineral Spring on the banks of Drowning Creek, three miles northwest of here.
The picnic in August will be held at Currie’s Bridge, three miles south of here.
The Carolina Construction Co. of Hamlet has a force of hands at work at the Samarcand Manor school. Material is fast coming in for the new buildings.
