As Pat Explained 1t.

Mike and Pat worked for a
wealthy farmer. They planned
to turn BURGLARS and steal the
money which the farmer had hid
in one of the rooms of his house.
They waited until midnight,
then started to do the job.
In order to get the money they
had to pass the farmers bed
room. Mike says, CPL go first
and if it's all right you can fol-
low and do just the same as L."
Mike started to pass the room.
just as he got opposite the door
the floor creaked. This awoke
the farmer, who called out,
"Who's there?"
Mike answered (imitating a
cat) with a "meowln The far
mer's wife being awake, too,
said, sob, John, it's the cat, :"
and all was quiet.
Now Pat started to pass the
door, and as he got opposite to it
the floor creaked again. The
farmer called out again, louder
than before, "Who's there?"
Pat answered, another cat"

to the community in which he
makes his home, in which he Sc
cures his living, and in which
his closest domestic and other
interests lie. He should show
his loyalty to his town by seek
ing in every legitimate way to
advance its material, moral, and
other interests.
1t is here so many fail, and
not only fail but prove actually
disloyal. They speak of their
advantages of other places but
not of their own, aud they go
elsewhere to trade. Instead of
patronizing the business men of
their own city, even though, as
is generally the case, they have
to pay more before the transac-
ton is finished than they would
have to pay at home. No COM
munity can prosper as it ought
where this practice prevails. 1t
is not the merchant elsewhere,
most certainly not the great de-
partment store of the large city,
that pays the taxes, develops its
industries, supports the schools
and churches, or makes it his
home.
The spirit of local patriotism
will express itself so well con-
ceived methods to improve the
city's appearance, in promoting
its wealth, in developing its re-
sources, and in raising its intel
lectual and moral tone. Along
such lines local patriotism in al
most any community may be
largely and profitably increased
without any danger of becoming
narrowly selfish.

Bryce Thompson K. of P's.
Entertain.

On Saturday evening last the
generous and chivalric Knights
of Bryce Thompson Lodge, No.
30, entertained their wives and
families at the Hall with an
oyster fry, which was by far the
largest attended secret society
entertainment ever given here.
Thislodge, asothershere, havetheir
wives as guests occasionally while
the goat is off on a vacation, but
this is the first instance that the
whole family, as well as the
widows and orphans of deceased
Knights who are always remem-
bered, has been the recipiant of
their hospitality.
The membership of this lodge
has grown to such proportion that
the members families al
most taxed the capacity of their
commodious Hall, which is by
far the largest outside of the
four principal cities of the state.
A varied program of music inter-
spersed with short talks from
Rel. j. M. Walden j. D..
Northcut and others, also solo
by Miss Sue Lewis, daughter of
knight, M. A. Lewis, was en-
joyed by all. The estimated at
tendance is given at $50.

Closing Exercises of Myers Hill
School.

Last Friday night witnessed
the closing exercises of the
school at Myers Hill which has
been under the management of
Misses Minnie Morris aud Mayme
Grove for the past eight months.
The school has been a success as
there were eighty pupils enroll
ed the last month. A great con-
course of people gathered at the
closing, the house being packed
like misunderstanding much con-
fusion.
The exercises throughout were
good, and were enjoyed by those
fortunate enough to gain a posi-
ton of advantage where the
same could be witnessed. The
programme rendered showed
faithful service and the commu-
nifty is to be congratulated upon
securing the services of these
efficient teachers for the ensuing
year. The term began last Mon
day and will continue through
the winter and spring.

Need of Local Patriotism.

While there is no lock of ma
tional patriotism there is too Of
ten an absence Of local patriot
ism, and yet rightly considered
one is as needful as the other.
We do not mean that one is as
important as>the other, because
the nation is greater and more
important than any community
within its borders. None the

We regret to chronicle the
death of Newton Rust, age %
years, son of S. h. and Susan
Rust, of the Oakgrove Community
who died on Nov. 9th after an
illness of fever. Funeral SER
vices were conducted by the Rev.
J. M. Walden, whose remarks
were followed by Brothers Can
non, Tate and Hart, who spoke
very kindly of the deceased and
admonishing the young people
to be ready when the summons
of death comes.
The deceased seemed to real
ize some time before his death
that the end was near and spoke
of it to his young friends coolly
and deliberately. He, ! believe,
had made some PREPARATION as |
don't think any sane man would
go on to his death without
any uneasiness, whatever. His
friends all regret they didn't ask
him if he was ready when he
would speak of dying. None
thought death was so near. Dur
ing the last twelve hours he was
unconscious and died in that con-
dition. The father, mother, bro
theirs, sisters have our sympathy.
