McFarlan Items
The United Farm Woman’s Club gave a reception in honor of the teachers of the McFarlan school in the school auditorium last Friday night. The guests were met at the door by Mrs. J.H. Miller and Mrs. W.N. Northcutt, who ushed them to (the) punch bowl, where they were served delicious fruit punch by Mesdames B.J. McGoogan and Lee Northcutt. They then wended their way up in the auditorium where they were met by Mesdames J.T. Phillips and A.B. Sings. Mr. W.B. Moore and Mrs. T.J. Sings took them to the receiving line, composed of the teachers, and the President of the club.
The auditorium was beautifully decorated with autumn flowers, ferns, witches and black cats, which were suggesting of the approaching Halloween. The guests were each given a song book and every one was asked to sing, Mrs. M.E. Blalock accompanying on the piano. It was very much regretted that Dr. McLendon could not be present, as he was first on the program for a talk, however Mr. J.W. Cameron, our popular county demonstrator, made a splendid talk for the occasion. Prof. W.W. McComb responded to this, congratulating the Woman’s Club in giving the teachers a hearty welcome into this community. Following this Mr. Van Hervie entertained the folks by telling jokes. Miss Eleanor Horton of Wadesboro and Miss Rosa Pegues gave some delightful readings. Delicious cake and ice cream were served.
