Article for 1t. Patricks Church Came
From Germany.

A hand-worked vestment in gold
and pastel colors exhibited in the
windows of the Wyman Co. store dur
ing the past few days has attracted
much interest. The vestment with
altar appurtenances to match was i'm

spring and should have arrived in Oc-
tOber but on account Of the war were
DELAYED.

Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product of this great COM
mercial age and the telegraph and tel
ephone systems Of this nation crown
the industrial achievements of the
whole world. These twin messengers
Of modern civilization, born in the
skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever
toiled for the human race.
They are Of American nativity and
while warm from the mind Of the in
yentiye genius have, under American
supervision, spun network of wires
across the earth and under the seas
Telegraphy, in its early youth, mas
tered the known world and the tele-
phone has already conquered the
earth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the
ocean.
No industry in the history of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
In development and usefulness, and
none has ever exerted more powerful
influence upon the civilization Of its
day than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy of two distinct types of
American genius-invention and organ
ization.
The industry was peculiarly forum.
ate in having powerful inventive intel-
lect at its source and tremendous
minds to direct its organization and

of the tree of American industry and
when compared with its European con-
temporaries, it thrills every patriotic
American with pride.

1t begins to look like President
Wilson proposes to get up aelittle
war with Mexico. He tells the
leaders they must stop fighting
and bring about peace. He does
not say what he will do il they
fail to carry out his orders. We
think he should shut off any
shipment Of munitions Of war to
anyone in Mexico and then they
will soon have nothing to kill
with. But they will still be able
to steal and rob from each other
as long as anything worth steal
ing can be found. They are not
as near starvation as the Presi-
dent indicates.

The reply of Germany to the
note Of President Wilson on the
sinking of the louisiana and our
own ships, evadeS the direct issue
by claiming the louisiana was
an armed cruiser and loaded with
ammunition intended to kill his
brave soldiers. The question he
raises must be investigated be-
fore his imperial highness has a
pointed reply. He says the pas
sengers should not have been On
board a steamer with a cargo of
ammunition, and puts the blame
on the English government for
the great loss of life. The note
practically says. until the English
government agrees to let pro-
visions go to Germany the SUBJ
marine warfare will go on, and
that if they make a mistake in
sinking neutral vessels they will
express regret. Nothing is prom
Used about giving warning and
saving life. Practically he says
every nation and its subjects
must take care of itself. What
can we do? Adding fuel to the
fire will not lessen the confagra-
ton. We intend to delay our
European trip for some time yet.

Memphis. NAV 20. |


AS | am ENJOYING my visit SO very
much, will say few words about it,
as we all like to pass on pleasant ex-
periences. In the first place the
weather is beautiful, and the morn
ings are, ideal, as May mornings
usually are; the suns rays are soft
ened by the shade of the now luxuriant
growth of the trees, and the breeze
plays gently among the branches whis-
pering Of brighter days, more beauti-
GUS flowers and more lucious fruits
to come.
have had some of the finest drives
| think | ever had, through the two
splendid parks which contain over
four hundred acres each, and which
do credit to this city, being kept in
the most perfect order. Thanks to
my neice, Mrs Albert Biggs, with the
aid of trained chauffer, who drives
her auto, and which kept all fear Of
an accident from my mind, have had
the most enjoyable time driving over
the splendid Speedway, passing beau
tiful homes, both mansion and cottage,
framed in setting Of grassy lawns,
trees and brightest colored flowers,
into the parks. As we drove through
OVerton | was astonished at the fine
forest which is left as nature intend
ed it to be, with the underground
and wild vines trailing around the
trunks Of the trees in graceful fes-
toons which ever surpass human touch.
Now and then tree or electric wire
post would be wound with white or
pink rose vines, which make one turn
|
back with regret at losing the exquis-
lite passing picture.
Yesterday afternoon we went through
Riverside, which is on the banks Of
the Mississippi, and as we sped over
the intricate windings of the road we
had a glimpse of the great old stream
which slowly wends its way to meet
the Gulf. And as we turned from a
pretty flower bed, or trailing vine
over rustic bridge, We were greeted
with a patch of primeval forest, dark
with the dense shade Of vine and
underground, which made US think Of
the days Of DeSoto, as he wandered
along the banks of this great stream
and knew not what wonderful source
Of wealth and pleasure he gave to
this community.
This is truly the City Beautiful,
with its lovely houses, grand forest
trees, and broad well kept streets,
and last, but not least, its fine people,
whose hospitality is not exceeded by
the beauty of their city.
: Among the many inyitationg | have
received, none have | enjoyed more
than that Of my friend Miss Miller
and her sister, who occupy a lovely
old home of the ante bellum style,
with it's large airy rooms, whose walls
are adorned with portraits Of long
deceased ancestors, who seem to look
with wondering gaze on the modern
times and changed ways. Nothing
but peace finds its way around the
rooms of this mansion and the one
visits il takes away many pleasant
memories. Very truly,
Mrs. ]. w. Purviance.

Patent Medicine.

1t is not desire Of ours to
hurt the trade of concern which
sells medicine, and possibly what
We have to say will not hurt trade.
but it is fact that there are some
things sold in the shape Of medicine
for physical ailments Of human be-
lngs that isn't worth carrying home,
much less for illness. There is al
ways something new coming in this
line, generally accompanied by a
long string of testimonials as to its
curative properties, etc. A recent
government report expose all these
'nostrums and quackeries. Chem
lists OF reputation employed by the
government have anayzed most every
brand Of patent medicine yet man
featured, and invariable discovered
that they contain practically moth
ing more than foreign substances of
hurtful qualities. The reason your
Uncle Sam looks into this business is
to see that all medicines are labeled
accordingly to the matter they con.
tain. If they do not, then the man.
ufacturers are liable to a fine. The
poor class Of people are the main
customers for this line of Junk
They use the patent medicines be-
cause they see it advertised, read 9
few worthless testimonials. and real
ly believe the stuff will do the work
it is claimed to do. 1t would be far
better for our citizens to consult E
good physician when they are sick
than to pay out good money for
this junk, which will shorten theil
days instead of cure them.

Steady Growth.

Scotland Neck continues to grow.
slowly but surely. 1t has ever been
thus. Ours has not been a phenom-
email growth; no booms to speak of
have ever made the old town take on
growth like some other towns. Our
growth has been like the miser's
fortune: A little at time. but ber-
manently placed. ''Booms' are
good things for towns and cities II
causes community interest. It
makes people of other towns come
to see us; and causes some to cast
their lot with us. We need not feel
that it is absolutely necessary to
build millions of dollars worth If
business industries at once to grow
But we do need more ENTERPRISES If
we aim to keep pace with other
towns. Our population is increas-
ing steadily but we need to adont
new faces and more financial
strength. We believe a Commercial
Club among our wide-awake busi-
ness men would do the greatest
amount of good. We hope it will
soon come to pass.
