Sad Death at Flint Hill.
(Contributed.) }

The death angel visited the
Flint Hill section Friday night,
October 20, and carried away
Mrs. R. H. Heffner. Her death
was a great shock to her many
friends and relatives. Mrs.
Heffner, before marriage, was
Dorcas Crawford. She was a
daughter of the late E. H. and
Susan Bales Crawford, of this
section, being the youngest of
seven children. She was born
February A, 1877 and was mar
ried to Robert H. Heffner June
13, 1895. To this union was
born seven children, four of
whom survive. These are Misses
Della, Lottie and Margaret. and
Robert Heffner, and, besides her
husband and children, she leaves
three brothers and three sisters.
The funeral service was con-
Quoted by her pastor, the Rev.
S. p. Hair, assisted by the Rev.
F. A. Lyles, of Pineville. The
remains were laid to rest in the
Flint Hill burying ground, by
the side of her son and little
daughter, who preceded. :. her to
the grave some years ago. Her
grave was covered with beauti-
ful floral tributes showing the
love and respect of the COM
munity in which she lived.
Mrs. Heffner was a loving wife
and devoted mother and was
loved by all who knew her. and
the sympathy of the entire COM
munity goes out to the heart
broken husband and children.

"Do Your Chris stmas Shopping
Early."

The above slogan in the hands
of an astute business man has
changed the whole practice of
Christmas shopping and stimu-
lated holiday business as nothing
else could have done. This man.
with the nerve of Barnum and
the judgment Of Wanamaker,
grabbed the thought from the
public mind and put it into big
black type where ''he who runs
may read" in the newspaper.
He backed a popular conviction
with his coin in expressing his
belief that it would be better for
everyone concerned if the inev-
liable Christmas purchases were
made at once while stocks were
fresh and new ard the choice
was wide and ample.
This slogan has since slipped
into practical use into overy cor
ner of commercial America. Ex-
cepting perhaps its fellow slogan,
safety first" which has reduced
the accident death rate enormous
ly, it has done more good in the
world than any business phrase
ever coined. 1t has been the
means of disseminating the time
honored practice among depart
ment and speciality stores of
keeping open in the evenings
preceding Christmas eve. 1t has
enabled manufacturers to prepare
their goods and fill orders far
enough in advance to insure clear
store rooms long before the Yule-
tide candles were lighted. 1t pre-
vented the disappointment of
of millions of Christmas shop
pers who were wont in times
past to wait for the more attract
i've novelties which turned up at
the last moment. And not the
least important, it saved the
heartaches Of neglected ones who
leant upon the broken reed Of
mere mans thoughLlessncss.

Struggle Has Only Begun.

Ed Parker, a Gastonia YOUNG.
man, has returned TO his home
from England where he has been
since last July. He sailed in
that month from Norfolk on a
horseboat for England and upon
arrival there enlisted in the
English army. Being under age.
only about 18, his father took
steps, through Congressman
+. Y. Webb. to secure his re-
lease from the army and sue
ceeded after going through quite
. good deal of red tape. Parker
arrived iii New York from ] liver
pool a few days ago and came
on to Gastonia. He was in a
training camp with 3, ZOO soldiers
near Bristol. England. Most of
the 5000, he said, were Ameri-
cans like himself. A few others
had secured releases.
Life in the training camp is
pretty hard, according to Park
er. The boys were drilled in
trench-digging and often were
on practice marches until mid
night and after. The plan was,
he says, to teach the recruits in
three months what ordinarily
required 15 months. They had
plenty to eat. Asked as to what
the people in England seemed to
think of the war he replied that
they think the struggle has only
begun

Man Is like the wireless telegram

sages OF peace and power, of harmony

thoughts. These messages are flvine
from him with lightning speed in
every direction. and they arouse in
others qualities like themselves.
We are all wireless mental stations
and are all sensitive to the things to
which we have made ourselves akin
by our thoughts and life.
II we have developed the coarser side
OF ourselves, living an animal life we
are sensitive to the animal vibrations
and influences that come to US. in pro.
portion as we have educated the brute
out of ourselves do we become sensi.
tive to the rays of good.
Many Of US have not yet learned TO
protect ourselves from the conflicting
currents of radiated thought from 9th.
ers that are playing all about U.S.
Thought obeys law as inexorable "a
that OF mathematics. No love can re-
turn in exchange for hatred thought.
but If your thought is freighted with
love, love will come back to meet its
own. To have friends we must show
ourselves friendly. To be loved. we
must love.
If the God within you-the ineffable
spirit OF love, Of charity-speaks to a
man, although he may be criminal,
the God will come out Of him to meet

good, evil in response to evil; hatred
comes out to meet hatred, love to
meet love, because they are afiinities.
