CHRISTIANA.

lana last Sunday, January b, by
Rev. Geo. H. Cox, D. D. He
preached an excellent sermon.
Rev. G. B. Spracher of Virginia,
will preach at Christiana next
Sunday afternoon, January -,
at two O'Clock. Sunday school
will be at one o'clock. Rev.
Spracher, is the gentleman
called by the Union-Christiana
passionate and is making a visit to
North Carolina to see something
about the charge before making
final arrangements.
School starts at Crescent Janu-
uary Z. A larger crowd than ever
is expected this term of school,.
Mrs. S. R. Frye and little SON,
Paul Brown, have returned to
South.Carolina, after spending the
holidays with home folks.
Tuesday evening, December, "a,
Rev. Cox, D. D. of Granite Quarry
was called upon to unite in holy
wedlock, Miss Beulah Brown and
Thornton Llngle. both of this
community. They will make their
home with the groom's parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. Lingle.
Messrs. G. W. Henry and Ar
thur Lyerly of Washington city,
spent the holidays with home
folks.
Geo. Brown is still doing work
with his camera. Boys. let's stop
some time and take a look at the
curious little thing.
Here is a little example we
would like for some one to work j;
Mr.. A had B and G to dig his po-
tato crop, for which he was to pay
them ten dollars. Now B could
dig potatoes as fast as G could
pull tops, but G could dig -pota-
toes only half as fast as B could
pull tops. How much money
shonld each receive? Simple. isn't
it? But who can work it?
We would have good reasons
for thanking the Lord, if we could
only induce Bro. Bart and Pat
rons to keep quiet and let Mr..
Ribelin teach the school as his
good Judgment tells him it ought
to be taught.
Sunday school was reorganized at
Christiana last Sunday, January
5. The school has made consider
able advancement during the last
year and it was decided by unan1-
nous vote to continue Sunday
school the entire year, ard not go
into winter quarters as heretofore.
There has been much said con-
corning the present game law in
Rowan county. Some say one
thing about it, and others say
other things, but we are convin-
ced that it is undoubtedly the best
game law the farmer can have.
Prior to this winter there were
people who made a living by hunt
ing on their neighbors land, but
the generous farmers would never
take any legal action in the mat
ter. If he told a neighbor he
could hunt on his land, his word
was as good as his bond. But
rarely ever was the transgressor
ordered off his place. If a
man wants you to hunt on his
lands, he will readily give you a
written permission. This law
keeps out these eternal loafers who
hunt day after day, killing birds
and rabbits by the wholesale, and
who the farmers let continue rath-
er than take legal action. Thanks
to our Game Wardens.
We notice the Southern Bell
Telephone Company is making ex-
tensive rural branches Of Its tele-
phones. As yet, there has been
nothing done in this part of the
county. There is talk Of making
a central at Granite Quarry, and
branching out, aid embracing
these parts from there. We ap-
prove Of the plan, for we realize
with as thickly settled territory
and prosperous farmers as this
territory contains, to be connect
ed by a phone system would bring
untold advantages and good re-
suits to both company and pat
rons. And. again, the company
