Rev. J.C. Cummings left for the Methodist Conference on Tuesday. Rev. Mr. Cummings has made a host of friends in this community and has proved himself a true servant of God. Everyone hopes he will be returned to this circuit for another year. The community is certainly indebted to Mr. Cummings for the excellent Bible Conference held here in September by Rev. George Guille of Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.
Mr. W.G. Carter spent the week-end with friends in Raleigh recently.
Mrs. W.L. Wilson attended the meeting of Synodical Auxiliary at Wilmington.
College students home lately for a week-end were Misses Evlyn Brown and Ruth Wilson from N.C. College for Women and Worthy Brown from State College.
Will Brown, son of E.R. Brown, who is a student at Oak Ridge, was spending the week-end at home at the time the dormitory was burned at Oak Ridge, and lost all clothes and books. Wade Tyson, who lives near Seagrove, also lost all his possessions.
Mrs. G.N. Rowe is chairman of the Red Cross for Sheffields township. This is a worthy cause and should be supported. Hand your subscriptions to Mrs. Rowe.
The Woman’s Auxiliary for the Presbyterian church is making an old-fashioned silk quilt, which will be sold to buy some bricks for the new church.
The new dormitory of Elise high school, which Fayetteville Presbytery named the Robert S. Arrowood Dormitory, is almost completed and the girls will move into their new quarters after Christmas. It is a handsome building, containing 23 bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, etc. It has all modern conveniences, including steam heat, and will be nicely furnished by the auxiliars of Fayetteville Presbyterial although the young peoples societies are to furnish the living room. Across main street from the Arrowood dormitory on a beautiful corner lot, the Elise Presbyterian church is being erected. It will be a brick building 52 x 36, with basement, plain but substantial. The building committee is composed of W.G. Carter, E.R. Brown and J.D. McLeod, and the contract has been let to W.A. Cagle of Candor. These buildings make a great improvement on the lower end of Main street.
Mr. Charlie Brown, who has been very ill for some time in the Sanford Hospital, is improving rapidly, and will soon be able to come home.
There were quite a number of exhibits from Hemp at the Pinehurst Fair. Mrs. C.C. Frye took first prize on a tatted centerpiece.
Work on the County Moore Cotton Mill is going forward and the project is assuming shape. It is planned to make some beautiful goods in this mill—fine sheetings, etc. it will be located below the planer, a short distance from the town.
Recent guests of W.G. Carter at Carter’s Mills were Prof. and Mrs. Pegg of Candor and Mr. and Mrs. Talmage Edgerton of Kenly.
Misses Elizabeth Suggs, Jeannette Hinson, Ava Maness and Mamie Lewis, students at Elise high school, spent the week-end at their homes.
The boys basket ball team of Elise High School did some fine playing at the Pinehurst Fair and won the second prize—a good basket ball. The girls basket ball team is also doing good work, and both teams would like to play some of the other county teams.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cox and daughters, Fay and Helen May, of Rockingham, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. William Frye.
Their numerous friends here were glad to welcome Mr. and Mrs. C.A. Prevost Sr. of Mineral Ridge, Ohio, who have their winter home here.
