The really correct thing for Willie
to be taught is that the name or rela-
tionship Of the persons addressed must
be given In place Of that socially os-
TRACKED ''ma'am." He must say Eyes,

been taught not to use ..sir''), or mo,

may be.
The mentioning of a persons name
when speaking to him or her is always
a pleasant little mark of courtesy,
even from one older person to another,
and is charming to hear from child's
lips.

Jonesville, June 26.-Mr. James
Carroll Poats of Albemarle County,
Va, who had been living with his
sister, Mrs. VIM. w. Wood, on Hames
avenue in our town, died Saturday
and his remains were shipped to his
home for burial. The casket was put
on the Carolina Special, Nc. 27, Sum

be buried. Mr.. Poats was 2S years of
age and has been an invalid and
hasn't walked any for several wears.
he was Christian young man. Mr..
w. w. Wood accompanied the re-
mains to their final resting pace.
The Holcombe Swargarty evangel-
istic meeting that has been going on
in this town for the last Is days
closed last night. Mr.. Holcombe is
strong evangelistic preacher and Mr..
Swagerty a fine evangelistic singer.
They drew large crowds to hear then
at all the services and they were well
paid for the time they gave to the
service. The merchants closed their
doors several days for the morning
service. The meeting was conducted
the second week in the armory build
ing which will seat about 800 peo-
pie. The meeting was for all denom-
nations and those that went to the
front under invitations to live better
lives from first to last was more than
25O and it expected that quite mum,
ber of these will unite with one or
the other of the three churches here,
Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian.
Mr.. Holcombe certainly is a strong
evangelist preacher and can appeal to
the hearts of his hearers, one sentence
in pathos and gloom and in the next
sentence in love and sympathy that
will touch the stubborn heart and
bring tears to penitent eyes. Mr..
Swargerty is a gospel singer scarcely
with an equal in all the county.
Mr.. Joseph w. Scott, our efficient
assistant postmaster is going to leave
us on the 3rd of July. He goes to

Mr.. and Mrs. Bob Tribble came in

The Red Cross work in securing
funds is moving along steadily but has
not reached the intended mark yet.
Our people are loyal and patriotic but
1T seems there are so much needs for
help that the people almost stagger
under it. Our people are giving
people. They seem to realize that
it is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive.
Farmers in the community report
their crops spotted. The prospect is
not at all favorable for cotton; it is
little better for corn.
The Wallace cotton mill is going
to shut down on the 3rd of July for
the rest of the week.
The sick people in our town and
community are not improving much.
Mr.. j. G. Spears is confined to his
