The following letter which has iust
come from a Sampson County reader
of The Progressive Farmer, will.
know, interest all friends of the
Sunshine movement:
Ny Dear Mrs. Ransier For q
long time I have been interested in
reading in the Sunshine department
of the Ladies Home Journal, but not
until a few weeks ago when I read
your letter in The Progressive
Farmer did I know that there was
an organization in North Carolina.
My two little sisters, De Isle and
Mary Lou O., and my little brother
Owen Fennell c., and I, wan to
become members of the Society. Our
home is Cottage Hill in Sampson
County, so we have named our so
ciety "The Cottage Hill Sunshine
Circle"
Just now our only near neighbors
r quarantined from us on account
of diptheria in their family, so our
Sunshine deeds have had to be done
for each other.
For her dues, little Mary Lou, who
is five, wiped the dishes for her
mother. De Lisle tried to be sun
shiny and happy all day yesterday,
and Owen has tried to be especially
polite. For my dues Pm reading
eight Cousins" to the children, for
/ remember how much pleasure it
gave me when / was a child.
I believe that 1 saw this in the
Ladies Home Journal, / don't know
the author, perhaps it will give a bit
of sunshine to some one:
"The inner side of every cloud
Is bright and shining
And so / turn my clouds about
And always wear them inside out
To show the lining"
If any one would like to have a
pattern of foot warmers to be made
of sider-down Gone of an original de-
sign of a wild rose) tab collar, and
also a pattern of a white canton
flannel rabbit, I will gladly send
them for the address and a stamp to
cover postage.
I am very glad indeed that the
Sunshiners of North Carolina have
such an able representative as The
Progressive Farmer, and you are
most certainly passing on a deed of
kindness" when you carry on the
duties of President of such a socie-
ty. We hope that the number of
North Carolina Sunshiners will in
crease rapidly, and we send our best
wishes to all who are members now,
and to all who may join our ranks
Thanking you for giving us the priv
ilege of becoming one of you, / am,
Most sincerely,
LUCY M. COBB.

shine Circle have received their
membership cards and Miss Lucy M.
Cobb appointed as President of the
delightful little circle. What a sun
beam it is to all of us to have a peep
into this loving little home, where all
are thinking of one another's hap
piness and comfort! Who will be
the next to form a little circle and
send in your names, and thus help

Carolina9 Who's We get another
idea of a way to scatter sunshine
through Miss Cobb's letter, and that
is this: Most all of us have some
nice pattern of something that will
make nice Inexpensive Christmas
gifts for the little ones and for boys
and men. We all know how hard it
is to find something nice for the
boys or father. Then if we have any
patterns or ideas, let US be Sunshin-
ers ana pass them or"
Christmas will soon be here, and
there are some little mite boxes at
headquarters that we will send to any
one who wishes one. They are to be
filed with pennies for little empty
stockings that otherwise would be
entirely overlooked by old Santa"
If you cannot fill one of these, send
a stamp contribution and it will be
placed in the box at headquarters.
Cultivate the art of saying agree
able things. It does not hurt you
and it does the other person a lot of
good. The power to say pleasant
things-true ones-is an accom-
plishment which is generally over
looked, or left as a mere worldly
matter to light-minded people. If
we would practice the art of making
kindly remarks to those around us
instead of ~criticising or caustic ones,
we would be infinitely happier, and
certainly all around us would. It is
easy to criticise, and a cheap active
ment to be a cynic. But the world
could lose every critic and cynic in
it tomorrow and move ahead with
out stopping to consider it's loss.
The man who believes in his fellows
and acts on his belief, who is kind
and pleasant spoken, is the man the
world needs always and misses when
he is gone. Whether given or re-
ceived, kind words and deeds are up
lifting, warming and i~nvigorating.
I am a firm believer in the principle
of mental and moral sunshine and
I cannot impress upon you too
strongly the value of kind words and
deeds. Kindness breaks the ice of
hate and s~elfshness and subdues the
blasts of anger. It is the essence of
all goodness. We cannot dispense
enough of it and it possesses the sim
gular quality of increasing in guam
tity faster than we can spend it.
Do, not live narrow lives. Be in
+o-ae+ad in and kind To all with whom

Cured on board the train for Ashe-
vile Monday. A gentleman who is
now a Understandable, but form
erly of Texas, was on the train with
his little daughter. At a way sta
ton en- route, there were several men
of rather rough appearance boarded
the train, which was very much
crowded, many having to stand. A
the. next station a young girl of
from fourteen to sixteen years of
age got on the cars and took a seat
which had just been vacated. One
of these men who had been standing
asked her if he might occupy the
seat with her. She said certainly,
and he sat down but crowded her
over to the window and motioned to
one of his companions to come and
crowd in too, or occupy the arm of
the seat. The man beckoped did not
respond, so the fellow turned and be-
gan chatting familiarly with the
girl who become more and more en-
barrassed and annoyed. The "man
from Texas" who sat n seal back

CALL Is CLOSE ONE

From a Hard Coal
Stove.
EARLY DISCOVERY SAVES Der
Unconscious When Members o.
Household Reach Her
Side.

Mrs. Emma South, AIS Sixth ave
nue., had an exceedingly close call for
her life this morning from the effects
of inhaling hard coal gas. As it hap
pened, she was discovered in time, and
after an hours Inconsistencies, she
was revived and is now pronounced
out of danger.
Mrs South occupies two rooms on
the second floor at the above number.
The lower part of the house is occu-
pied by another family, with whom
she boards Mrs. South has Just pur-
chased u new hard coal stove and last
night was the first time she kept fire
in it. The stove was in one room,
while she slept in the other, and the
door between them was open.
1t r presumed that through some
mistake in the regulation of the stove
it was left in such shape that gas was
generated during the latter part of
the night. This gas. being heavier
than the air. settled toward the floor
and did not reach the sleeper till well
toward morning. When it did she
passed from sleep into unconscious
ness.
Mrs South rises and takes break
fast each morning about o'clock,
and to her regularity the fact that
she is now alive is probably due. As
she was not in her place at table this
morning another member of the fam
lily was sent to inquire the reason and
found her unconscious. DR.. L. Brad
ford was summoned and the restora-
tives administered in Il short time had
the desired effect and the patient was
placed on the road to recovery.
Serious Accident to Aged Woman.
Mrs. Newberg, mother of John p.
Newberg, manager of Black Hawk
Inn, yesterday sustained at fall at the
Inn, where she makes her home, and
fractured her right arm at the Shout
der. The accident is particularly un-
fortunate in view of the fact that the
patient was just recovering from a
fall down stairs two weeks ago, III
which she sustained bad scalp
wound and other minQr injuries, and
the further fact that She is 81 years
of age. Owing to her advanced years
the fracture will be very slow to
heal. 1t is presumed that both falls
were due to temporary dizziness. DR..
Bradford is attending her.
