Miss Gertrude V. Little of Sanford and her sister, Miss Margaret N. Little of Raleigh, motored down to our town and spent Sunday.
Mrs. May Dana Jannarie last Thursday evening entertained the Small and Early, and Miss Sue Coe Weeks captured high north while Cousin Lex won high south.
The closing session of the Small and Early was held at the home of Mrs. Sue Coe Weeks last Wednesday evening. The high scores were made by Mrs. M.A.W. Cadwallader, Mr. Charles P. Heyward, Mr. Richard T. Hewitt.
Miss Carrie E. Brockway gave a reception and tea on Friday afternoon introducing her niece Miss Edith M. Brockway and her friend Miss Josephine Murphy, who have come down from Brooklyn for an indefinite stay. Mrs. Gibson, Miss Hutchings, Mrs. Packard and Mrs. Allison assisted in receiving.
Mrs. Anna W. MacMinn, our efficient postmaster, left on Thursday for a well earned vacation expecting to be absent until the first of July. Among other places she will visit her daughter Marion who resides in Springfield, N.J. Mr. Dean Banton of Mount Upton, N.Y., will have charge of the post office during her absence.
Mrs. John Warren Achorn, whose generous nature is always seeking an opportunity to entertain and compliment her friends, last Saturday evening gathered together some 30 neighbors who on Sunday evenings for the past four or five years have met to sing hymns in the parlor of Mr. Holbrook’s home. The Rev. Dr. Gibson made some felicitous remarks, flatteringly phrased, and pointed them at Mr. Hollbrook who was much embarrassed and blushed like a schoolboy. Mr. H.A. Wade and the hostess, and Miss Pardue who fortunately happened in, filled the evening with music and good cheer.
There was a meeting called at Assembly Hall last Friday night to air and exchange views on the question of a new hotel being erected. Some half hundred people showed their interest by attending and there was a general sentiment favoring the building of a new hostelry. Dr. William D. Shannon presided, and short talks were given by Messrs. Henry Page Jr., Thomas S. Maslin, and J. Talbot Johnson, culminating in the appointment of a committee to draft a prospectus and interest others in the project. The committee: J. Stanley Smith, Levi Packard, William D. Shannon, J.H. Suttonfield, Matthew F. Butner, J. Talbot Johnson, Alex. P. Holbrook, Mrs. M.A.W. Cadwallader, Miss Lida G. Hutchings and Mrs. J.W. Achorn.
