Mr.. Dowd May has moved TO Char
lotte TO follow his trade He is one
of The finest carpenters in this sec
tiou. We regret TO lose his family
from our little town.
Mr.. Bud Phifer had to sell his bird
6og last year because he did not have
a cook 20 prepare his birds. He says
he had TO burn the feathers off He
just could not prepare them so that
they could be eaten. This winter he
has a good bird dog and a good cook.
He is coming to himself indeed. We
know that this is true for we took
supper with him last Sunday evening
ana found all he has said about the
cook to be true. and we know he is
having good luck with the game be-
cause when we Went to leave his wife
gave us nice mess to bring home
with US. He is one of our best citi-
zeus.
Mr.. Lex Phifer and wife of Wades-
boro visited Mr.. Bud Philer Sunday.
The Bible conference we expected
to hold here the last OF this week has
been postponed. The chairman of
the Executive Committee of this as
soCation thinks that ii will be better
to put ii off for the present. We are
sure this is the best. AS important a
thing as this conference ought 10 have
a GOOD time for meeting.
Bruce Helms six-months-old baby
died last Sunday afternoon. II is the
first one from his family TO leave for
the eternal world. The family has
our sympathy in this severe trial.
We are especially grateful 10 our
friends for nice barrel of apples
and fine crate of oranges. Friends
are a great blessing, We could not
live without them. They have en-
couraged us all along the way. and
We expect them to be with us until
the end, then to take our lifeless body
and place il beneath the sod. But
this / must not forget. If am not a
friend | cannot have friends. He
that would have friends. must show
himself friendly" But what is a
friend? Have you ever thought? II
very one was a friend of man, no
wars would arise. our churches would
be filed. our homes would be happy,
and we would not have so many sad
experiences as'we do.
A very sad death occurred in the
Deep Springs community last Sunday.
Ii was that of Mrs. Ernest Davis. She
