TWO THINGS.

The Henderson Gold Leaf tells us
what will bring happiness and pros
perity. viii we do what the Gold
Leaf says:
There are two things that tend
very much toward bringing happi-
ness and prosperity to community.
The first Of these is good roads, and
the second is to get rid Of all the
criminal element in its citizenship.
So if a community will put its crimi-
nal and law breaking element to
building good roads, it will soon find
itself on the road to happiness and
prosperity"

Under the leadership Of Rev. c..
M. Rock, pastor of the Baptist church
of Greenville, the 'Boy Scouts
have been organized. Be Pie
pared is the motto Of the organ;za-
ton and the boys are made strong by
example and training to withstand
temptations against sin and vice as
thcy grow to young manhood.
Judging from the reports of their
meetings the boys have started out
well. We would like so much to see
a local organization Of Scouts" in
Scotland Neck for there is SO much
need of restraint being thrown
around our boys and young men
Lets we older boys take up the cry
Of save the boys" and then get the
bows themselves to work saving
their own members. Who will take
the lead?
