Rev. W. W. Rowe, of Lower
Stone church, preached q fine
special sermon to the Junior Or
der here, at the Reformed church,

ton. The Juniors attended in
body.
Two more young men have
moved to Faith to live, where
work Is plenty and wages are
high. They are: Messrs. Dolph
Eller and Martin Barger.

GOLD KNOB, Dec. 4.
At last our long looked for and
much needed RAIN has come to re-
fresh our oat and wheat crop.
The long dry spell has sent many
to their springs for water. Every
body is complai aining of their wells
going dry and some few say their
springs are failing.
Aunt Annie Lyerlv, who had
the misfortune to break her leg
by failing some time ago, is con-
valesclng at this writing, we are
glad to note.
Sam'l. 7. Trexler. one of our
best young men, has accepted a
position with the Southern Rail
way at Spencer. We join in wish
ing him success
N. c. Park is fat work framing
his new house at this place, which
adds much beauty, as it will be
the finest in the villa.
The Goodman Sawmill Co. has
accepted a contract to furnish and
deliver 10000 feet of lumber to
Granite Quarry for a New York
syndicate.
Charles Mesimore and daughter,
who were rendered homeless by fire
recently, have moved to Chestnut
Hill, where his daughter owns
house and lot.
The heirs of the late Jacob A.
Trexler went to Salisbury last
week to be present at the reading
of bis will. No particulars have
been learned.
w. H. A. Kesler is improving
slowly.
The members of St. Peters
church assembled at the residence
of the late Dr.. L. W. Coleman on
Thanksgiving for the purpose of
getting wood for their pastor,
Rev. F. M. Harr.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Park visited
O. NJ. Holshouser last Saturday
night.
Jno. L. TrexIer is building a
residence near his grand-mother's,
Mrs, Ann Trexler.
Jno. Waller is making additions
to his house.
As yet we have no weddings to
report. Guess well wait on Uncle
Venus and see if he won't include
ours.
Last, but not least, we desire to
thank our County Commissioners
for what they have done and are
doing on our 'Stokes Ferry road"
This is a great help to US whose
lot it is to travel this road, es-
pecially in winter. This road
could occupy the time of the gang
the entire winter and get no more
than justice. Still, we are thank
full for what they have done.
Now, if the woodworking class of
people OF Salisbury township
could be induced to work and
keep up their section of the road,
then it would be a pleasure to
Travellers. If we people down
here don't work the road, it won't
cost us less than $500 and not
! over $500, but we don't know
whether 1t is against the law to
work the road up there or not, but
presume it is, at least they don't
work the road, and no one is
bound over to court for a misde-
meanor. Here we work the road
and pay road tax, and if there is
anything else to be done we are
right here. LEE.
