Golfers Band.

1t gives us peculiar pleasure to
announce that the young men of
the Golfers community have or
ganized band under the leader
ship of Mr.. Henry w. McKie. A
complete set of new instruments
have been purchased and an instruct

Just as every home that can afford
an instrument shoul d have music,
because of it's elevating and refining
influence, so ought every town and
rural community have an organized
band of musicians, each member
being an inspiration to the others.
By autumn the Golfers band will
have large repertoire, and when
Woodrow Wilson is elected their
notes will be so loud and long
that they can be heard in Edgeheld.
Hurrah for the Golfers band! May
each piece be as musical as Apollo's
lute," the whole making concord

Cormick has recently been re-opened.
The property is owned by the
wealthy Mccormick family of
Chicago, but arrangements have
been effected by which Mr.. A. J..
Overton of North Carolina is to be-
gin active operation of the mine at
once. A large quantity of modern
machinery has been purchased, some
of which has already arrived. While
at Mccormick last Week Mr.. A. s.
Tompkins visited the mine and was
greatly pleased with what he saw.
About 40 or so years aGo this prop

leading mines in this section of the
country.

Ministers, Please Heed.

The ministers of the county are
requested and urged to notify The
Advertiser whenever an; change is
made in the time for holding SER
vices at their churches. We are
especially anxious to have the
church directory, to which we give
space every week, absolutely cor
rect. This is impossible without
the cooperation of the pastors.
Mail The Advertiser card when
ever change of any kind is made.
1t is important that the directory
be correct. Imagine the disap-
pointment of an individual who
drives 10 or Is miles to attend SER
vice at country church and on ar
irving finds the church closed, the
time for holding the service having
been changed.

No Bridge at McKie's Mill.

The board of county commission
ers advertised for bids for the erec-
tion of a bridge ACROSS Stevens
creek at McKie's mill but were una
BILE to let the contract. Their plans
have been thwarted by the purchase
of the proposed site by the Geor-
gia- Carolina Power Company. AS
the large corporation has, SO we
are informed, purchased land for a
distance of several miles up the
creek, it will not be practicable for
the board to undertake to erect a
bridge at this time. The Georgia
Carolina Power Company is will
ing to contribute 81, 900 toward the
erection of bridge costing in the
neighborhood of IS, 600, leaving the
balance for the cornty to pay. The
erection of such a bridge as was
originally contemplated by the
county board, one that would be
entirely adequate to the public
need, would have cost only about
$4,000. The supervisor and coun-
ty commissioners have acted wisely
in declining the proposition of the
power company. To have accept
ed their offer would have meant the
expenditure of large amount of
money unnecessarily.

The pain OF the heart should cease.
How many go forth in the morning
Who never come home at night
And hearts are broken for harsh words

And smiles for the sometime great
But oft for our own the bitter tone,
