I'd buy me a shining deck ofcards
I'd order some whiskey too.
Id hire a horse at the livery,
And Of course I'd.ride astride,
For it's entirely out Of fashion
For ladies TO ride aside.
I'd shuttle my CARLSON week days
With fingers slender and white;
Play the organ for church on

Though 1 know it would not be

But I'd pause as my days were

And my race was we'll nigh run,

FOR the. mountains, we close
thiabrief sketch with an earnest
appeal to the mountain psople
to help support it. We4wish to
suggest that zach Sunday school
regularly set apart the collec-
tion on the first Sunday in each
month for the Home. By appoin-
ting a special treasurer for this
fund, and by having it we'll un.
derstood that this will be done
each month and the money sent
in at the end Of each quarter, it
will be a very simple and easy
matter. One Sunday School has
been doing this for the. past six
months, and, the amount they
have turned in is over fifteen dol
lars 20
AT present there are only. sew
en- children a. the Home. But
there a good.many more appl:
cations, some OF which we will be
ready for. in a short time, Be
sides these ,,thefe are scores. of
Others in every mountain .cpun-
ty that are just as bright as the
children. who play. around your
own hearth every night. Shall
we not as q christian people do
for these what we. would wish
somebody tg do for our children
If they &srsbleit orphans.
Over the hills l hear a vail! :,
1t comes lik q voice from the dead:
IT'S the voice OF a child, hungry
and pale
Calling Tor Mama and a piece Of
bread <,
Give me a heart O God /, pray,
TO dofor the. child wnat | would
love -
Someone. to do for my own to-
day
We're forever in the home above.

ar for his day. Hemarried Miss
Anna, the beautiful and. accom-.

with II children, 3. OF which have

Church. About the year '57 he
migrated to western .Watauga
county, y,being;one Of The pioneer
settlers Of that part OF the coun.:
ty. 1t was here that Brother
Church became conspicuous in
building up and developing a new
country. He was in the organi-
cation OF Beech Mountain Church
46 years ago and for a quarter
Eof q century was clerk: OF this
church. ir&,i,ir>,, III y. ID.
Mott the church alone do we
find Brother Phillip at tue front.
But in the educating Of the chill
dmnoi his dayprobably Brother
Church taughtmore schoolsthan
any other teacher then, most OF
the deed and letter writing OF
those days was done by him. 1t
was indeed q rare t'eatand pleas
ure to converse with this brother
always looking at the sunny side
and a alw avs endeavoring to
smooth down the ruffles OF his
brothers life. In the home OF
Brother Church we were always
greeted with a welcome never to
be forgotten. The latch string
always hung on the outside. 1t
was here that the strangerfound
shelter and the hungry man a re-
past. But all things transient
or mortal must have an end. We
see Brother Church as he starts
down the incline toward the sun
set Of life. We see him as he leans
upon the staff with furrowed
cheek and wasted brow. Like
the giant oak which has stood
the storms of centuries musts sue
cumb to a tlercer gale. Brother
Church seemed to realize in his
last days thathe was nearing the
Jordan of death, and oft times
he would talk of heaven and his
comrades who had gone on be-
fore, and often we see him look
ing into the starry arch OF heav.
en- or listening to the moan OF
the wind and says nothing. But

A special from Asheville dated
Nov. 18th, says: Holders OF pre-
ferred stock in the Grandin Lum-
Der Company, OF Grandin, Cald-
we'll county and q few miscella-
neous creditors who are unsecur.
ed, today started a suitin equity
against the concern, with the re-
suit that Judge James E. Boyd,
of the United States District
Court, appointed W.. Grandin,
OF Grandin receiver Of the Gran
din Lumber Company, and the
Watauga & Yadkin River Rail-
way Company. Mr.. Grandin is
president of both companies.
The assets OF the combined com
panies are given at $7,OOO,OOO,
while the total liabilities, secured
and unsecured, are named at$1,-
950,OO0. The excess.of the as
sets over the, liabilities indicate
that the creditors and stockhol-
ders will be protected: although
present unsettled financial condi
tions may result in their inabili.
ty to realize for an. indefinite
length Of time. The'inabillty of
the management of the railroad
company to float a $4,000, 900
loan in London is assigned as
the cause OF the present financial
condition, the railroad company
being thrown into difficulties
when the lumber company was
unable to realize on it's holdings
of railroad securities.
Mr.. Grandin was named as re-
ceiver with a view to protecting
the property of the two concerns
pending the making Of financial
arrangements which will place
them on a safe basis. lie declar.
ed today that while the embar-
assment is due directly to the Eu
ropean war, the railroad could
have been saved but for the fact
that the Justice freight rate act
cut it's revenue in two and result
ted in heavy loss where profits
had been made. "
The timber company own s
100000 acres Of timber land in
Watauga, Wilkes and Caldwell
Counties and recently appraisers
placed a valuation on the hold
ings of between 5000, and
$1,000, 900 OF the immense tim
ber holdings sixty per cent are
white pine and yellow poplar. A
mill with a capacity of turning
out 10000 feet of lumber per
day recently was built at Gran
din, although it has never been
operated and will not be started
of course, until the present diff
culties are settled.
The railroad runs from North
Wilkesboro to Grandin, 81 miles,
and from Elkville Junction to
Denny, 4 miles. Mr.. Grandin sta
ted today that the epassengerand
freight service would be continu-
ed.
The receivership is the biggest
in the history Of the Western
North Carolina Federal Court,
and came as a surprise in flnan-
cial circles OF the State, it having
been thought that arrangements
had been made with a western
banking house to float the loan
which faied to materialize in Lon
don. The receiver admitted to.
day ttat such negotiatios had
been pendin, but stated that they
fell through on account Of present
financial conditions.
