Things could be worse, I'll say;
See that your labor's worth your hire,
And you'll come out o. K
Keep smiling on the long, hard hike.

And If you can't do what you like,
Try liking what you do.

DEAD WIFE AIDS HIM
Pastor Tells of Visitation From
 Spouse After Death.
Gets information That Enables Him to Locate Missing Doe
 uments-

PhIIadelphia.-A supposed visita- ton from his wife after her death, whether in a dream or in the spirit. related by Rev. Dr. Russell H. Con- well. is causing much speculation among members of the Grace Baptist temple.
 Dr. Conwell. founder and president of Temple university, related his expe rience at a recent Sunday morning service in the Baptist temple in which he told of the visitation. His wife died thirty years ago.
 'sI received three strange visits from my wife" he said. "On three successive nights she seemed to come and sit on the side of the bed which I occupied.
 While sitting there she gave me valuable information relating to sever al important papers which knew were in the house. but which could not locate.
 Ut may have been a dream but I got out of bed immediately after re ceiving the instructions and found the papers just where she said they were"
 Dr. Conwell said he did not know what to believe about the visitation.
 Tt may have been thought trans ference" he added. T have never been able to decide what 1t was, but I do know that was unable to locate these papers until received the mes sages from my wife"

STEALS AUTOMOBILE
Young White Man Arrested
for Stealing Auto at Madi-
sonville, Kentucky. Was
Working in Garage Last
Week at Ellerbe.

A young white man giving his
name as Clinton Morris was arr.
rested Monday at Hamlet BY
Chief Braswell on the charge Of
stealing an automobile.
On Tuesday of last week,
September 18th, this young man
came to Ellerbe in a Buick and
applied for work in the Polk
garage. On Saturday Mr.. Polk
drove the mans car to Rocking
ham, and seeing J. W. jenkins,
the proprietor of the Richmond
Buick Company, he told him
that the man Morris wanted to
sell the car cheap. Mr.. Jenkins
looked at the engine, and
noticed that in several places
places the numbers had been
chiseled off. This was sus-
picious, so he called up the
Buick headquarters at Charlotte
and secured the numbers, ETC.,
of the listed stolen Bucks. Other
numbers on this car correspond
ed with the numbers of car re-
ported stolen from Madisonville,
Kentucky, several weeks ago.
Mr.. Polk returned to Ellerbe
Saturday night and said nothing.
That night the man, Morris,
drove his car to Hamlet, and was
arrested there by Chief Brass
well for speeding. He put up a
$40 bond for appearance on
Monday for trial. Monday
morning Sheriff Mcdonald went
to Ellerbe to arrest Morris for
the car theft, but found that
Morris had already gone to
Hamlet. And so it was at Ham
let that his final arrest was
made by Mr.. Braswell.
1t is understood that Morris
admits taking the car and will
not resist extradition and being
carried back to Kentucky for
trial. He was lodged in Hamlet
lookup Monday, and the Ken
lucky officers were wired.

Wins And Loses.

Rockingham Highs lined up
against the Hamlet eleven Tues
day at Hamlet, and lost by score
of 31.0. Even at that the local
boys are not downcast at the re-
suit; in the first place, the team
is unusually light, and not a play
er had ever been in even a scrim-
mage, much less a game. The
boys put up a plucky fight, and
showed they have fine material.
While the football team lost to
Hamlet Tuesday, the girls turned
the tables Wednesday by trounc-
ing the Hamlet basketball team
by the one-sided score of 1918.

County Young Lady Sept.
11th.

Miss Capella Capel, who is one
of the efficient teachers in the
Ellerbe school, had a most inter-
esting and unusual experience
as she was returning from Nash
vile, Tennessee, several weeks
ago.
Miss Capel had been spending
the summer at work in Nash
vile, and was on her way back
to Ellerbe when the incident to
be narrated, occurred. She was
on the N. G. & st. L. train, and
when between Nashville and
Chattanooga, about. TO- o'clock
Saturday morning, September
18th, a tall lady. dressed in
black and carrying a baby came
from the car ahead and inquired
of Miss Capel if she might
share the seat with her. Miss
Capel of course made room for
her. In a few minutes the lady
remarked that she wished to go
into a front coach TO speak to a
friend, and left the infant on
the seat beside Miss Capel.
A small station was passed,
and a lady sitting several seats
in front of Miss Capel turned
round and informed her that
