Miss Ethel Kestler, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. D. Kestler, of the
vicinity of ateeville, who went
to Korea as a missionary about 18
menths ago, sailed for home on
the 4th and arrived in San Fran
cisco last Friday. She is expected
to reach Statesville next Saturday.
Miss Kestler was sent home on ac-
count of the condition of her
health. She recently suffered an
attack of fever and 1t was not
thought advisable for her to re-
main in Korea this summer. If
she entirely reeovers her health
it is her purpose to return to Ko-
rea in the late fall or early winter.
Miss Kestler labored in Korea un-
der the auspices of the Southern
Presby terlan church and was sup
ported by the Presbyterian church
of Monroe.
Canned persimmon pudding is
something new to The Landmark,
but Mrs. D. l. Troutman, who
lives on rural route No. 3, Falls
town township, has demonstrated
that 1T is an actual fact. Last
fall Mrs. Troutman made a per-
simmon pudding and preserved it.
A sample was sent The Landmark
a few days ago and the pudding
was found to be as palatab!e as if
it had just been made.
1t Is mentioned in the news COL
umns of the Landmark that a tel.
egraph lineman was killed at Ma
rion last week by coming in con-
tact with with and electric wire
carrying 1890 volts. It is not
amiss in this connection to call
attention to the fact that the cleo
trio wires in Statesvllle carry
2, 30Ovolts and people who value
their lives want to keep away from
the wires. In case of windstorm
a point should be made to watch
for broken wires.
April 30th.-The Landmark is

two years.

While W. F. Cash's plowmen
were at work on the Leslie place,
a few miles east of town, Tuesday
they unearthed shoulder of meat
weighing IS or 20 pounds, which
had been buried in the field. Re-
Gently Mr.. Dan. Call, of the same
community, missed a shoulder of
meat and it is supposed that the
meat plowed up in the field was
that stolen from Mr.. Call, and
that it had been buried for future
