tarnoon, visiting Miss Lizzie Bee
ton.
Miss Annie Stancill, of Selma,
was adding pleasure to the home of
MI. ahd Mrs. d. A. Sasser last

visit to Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Ed ,er-
ton.
MIR. E. I. Atkinson, of your city,
was out here this afternoon in the
interest of the Local Tax election
which is to take place in May.
Mr.. H. NJ. Gates, of Alamance

An effort is being made to secure
phone service at Grassmere. Messrs.
w. III. Lane, J. w. Rose and others
having the matter under considera-
ton. We trust it will materialize.
The registration books for the
school election will be opened on
Thursday morning, April 9th and
close May Goth. They eau be found
at MI. w. II. Lanes store. Our peo-
pie being progressive, and this the
most important step in many years,
of course it will be carried.
Mr.. Joe Warrick, of your city, to-
day delivered to Mr. w. III. Lane,
the registration books for the com :
ing school election. We have al
ready heard of one good citizen who
says he expects to move to our com :
munity when we get the school term
heightened, and others will 10 like
wise.
Prof. Logan D. Howell, of New
York, Capt. Geo. P. Howell, and
Mrs. Maj ,r Knight, of Charleston,
S. c., and Mrs. R.. p. Howell, OF
your city, were out here last We'd
nesday afternoon, visitors at Oak
Glen, Where their presence ad led
10y aud pleasure to our humb lie
home, and awakened many pleasant
"reminiscences of by-gone days.
The school election which is to
take place at Ebenezer in May, is
the most important event which this
community has been called upon to
decide in some time. Not alone for
the benefit OF the numbers of chill
dren now old enough to attend
school and whose future welfare ap-
peals to every reasonable man TO
help give them opportunities to de-
velop mentally, while they are de-
velopIng physically, but children
yet unborn, will reap the benefits OF
the efforts now being put forth for
advancing education, and in after
years will rise up and bless those
who now are faithfully laboring for
a longer term, and to put our schools
on a basis similar to our graded
schools. The salvation of our coun-
try depends upon the proper educa-
ton of the children who soon are to
take our places, and we can educate
them here, just as well as elsewhere
if we but try. We trust all those in
terested will give the matter that
degree of consideration it deserves.
BY all means, let US have schools.

When He Is Gone.

When He Is Gone.
RusseIlville Courier-Democrat.
We happened at a home the other
night, and over the parlor door saw
the legend worked in letters of gold,
"WhatI Is Home Without a Mother?''
Across the room was another brief,
God Bless Our Home" Those
notices will be foundin many homes,
worked by nlmble fingers and eX-
pressive of love and devotion felt by
the members of the household for the
hottest and happiest of earth's bless.
ings, "Mother'' and "Home.'
"Home, home-sWeet home, be il
ever so humble there's no place like
home." But there is another factor
IN the bIesseduess Of home that is toe
often forgotten, or, at least, perhaps
sometimes not fully appreciated, and
that factor is "Dad." Andthe State
Register today, in a few words from
an exchange wants to preach a little
sermon in Dads behalf. 1t is no
Encouragement to "MOther'' TO say
that alongside of the legend referred
to above this other would be appro-
pirate: "God Bless Our Dad!" An
exchange says:
dad gets up early, lights the fire,
boils an egg, grabs his dinner pail
and wipes off the dew of the dawn
while many a mother is sleeping.
He makes the weekly hand-out to
the butcher, thegrocer, the milk man
and the baker, and his little pile is
badly worn before be has been home
an hour. He stands off the bailIff
and keeps the rent paid up. "Ifthere
is a noise during the night Dad is
nudged in the back and made to go
down stairs and find the burglar
and kill him. Mother darns the socks,
but Dad buys them in the first place,
and the needles and the yarn after
ward. Mother does upthe fruit well,
but Dad buys it all, andjarsand sugar
cost like the mischief.
"Dad buyschickens for the Sunday
dinner, carves them himself and
draws the neck from the ruins after
every one . lse is served. "What il

is all right, But "What is Home

"Dad, here's to you. You hav,

but we will miss you when you arr

Yes, dear old unappreciated Dad
The legend which ought to grace tn,
walls of the cattage or the palace il
your honor may not appear. Yol
may tread the path way of life, bear
ing its burdens ungrudgingly, ant
c~heerfully, and go down to the gray,
unhonored and unsung in framed
legends, but you will be missed anc
mourned nevertheless in the bold
gray days when you can no longel
answer the call for your services,
and will receive your reward on tn,
the other shore. Dear Dad! God bles.

WESTERN LIFE !
SEVERELY ARRAloNEo BY wo-
MANS PETITION.
Question Brought Into Court Of the
Transfer Of Insurance 10 An
other Company.

Chicago, Oct General Manager Il.
|. Rosenfeld of the Western Life In
demnity Co. is severely arraigned in
the intervening petition of Mrs. Ida
Stratton OF New Orleans, La. Mrs.
Stratton sought through her attorneys
today permission from Judge Kohlsaat
to file the petition in connection with
the litigation brought by Judge Field
of Lincoln, Neb., and Others who want
a receiver for the concern. Judge
kohlsaat continuer the case until
Wednesday. The bill Is voluminous,
and Attorney Levinson tried by every
means in his power as an attorney to
secure its admission in the case Attor-
uey Isaac Mayer as strenuously resist
ed. Mr.. Levinson wanted the court to
understand that II the intervening pc
tition was not filed today the officers
of the Western Life Indemnity Co.
might take action which would dissi-
pate the assets of the company.
Mr.. Rosenfeld denied that he re-
ceived a dollar for procuring the trans
fer of the Western Union Life to the
Life Insurance Company of Philadel-
phia. 1T is all fabrication" he said.
VIII. Gray. former general manager
of the Knights Templar and Masons'
Indemnity Co., returned from Europe
today and made formal statement
denying any collusion with Rosenfeld
to deplete the treasury of the indemn-
ity company. He Is inclined to shift
any blame existing to his successors.
Mr.. Gray says he will fight to keep the
s125,O00 paid him by Rosenfeld for his
contract with the Knights Templar and
Masons' company, now the Western
Life Indemnity.
