grounds at three places on the road be-
tween 1000 and 5000 loads of rock that
have been hauled by the farmers and
also found the farmers eager for the

Saturday on business. Rev. ]. L.
Oates conducted the usual Wednesday
nytyina [rNro rcrN Syo
the A. r. P. church this week. He
made a good talk on the keeping of
the Sabbath day holy. There was a
pretty fair turnout, but some of our
good Seceders were absent. Either sick
or special business caused their alb

anyhow, to be unwell on the Sabbath
or Wednesday evening. We have even
known some young ministers of the
gospel to neglect Wednesday evening
praise service on account Of a little
tete-a-tete engagement with his best
girl. The good book says to look after
the interest of your soul first and all
things will follow Miss Ella Trout,
of Forest City, N. c., is visiting her
sister, Mrs. J. c. Wylie, Of near here.
