110 YEARS AGOThursday, July 6, 1911from the Mathews Journal

A small but representative crowd attended the dedication of the new hall at North, on the 4th. The hall which is not entirely completed had been nicely decorated by the ladies.

Mr. L.C. Garnett presided over the exercises of the day. In the morning after a brief speech dealing largely in politics, he introduced Mr. Percival Hicks who made a comprehensive presentation of his claims for election to the Legislature, giving his platform, etc. His statement of his position upon the different issues was clear and he was enthusiastically received.

After this dinner was served by the ladies and mighty good one it was.
