PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS
FROM WHITM!RE TOWN

nended for the bold stand, which |
hey are taking against the stores be- /
ng open and selling goods and soft |
drinks on Sunday. We are so glad to |
see them taking bold steps to cut it
out.
If an individual, a town, or a na-
ton openly, defantly and repeated
Iy disobeys one of Gods laws, Remem-
Der the Sabbath day and keep it |
holy, success and happiness need not
be expected. Many of the wrongs of
this age will never be corrected until
we learn to obey Gods laws and
teach our children so to do.
Lumber is being placed on the lot
the Presbyterian church, to
be used in erecting house for Mr..
Gordon, the director of the Y. M. c.
A. here.
Like many other towns, this one is
cut in two by the railroad. Now the
other side of town don't mean for US
to get ahead of them, so Mr.. Bullard
and Mr.. J. I. Young have each added
a new coat of paint to their houses,
improving appearances very
much and Mr.. Wallace Gillian has
added several new rooms and chang
ed the roof on his house. When ne
finishes doing over the inside and
adds paint he will have one of the
prettiest residences here. A little
competition is good for most any de-
partment. Let's keep it up and we
will have a better looking town on
both sides. Now these things which
I have mentioned are Just ths hegin-
ming of what we are going to have. -
Mr.. Gilman Of Chester has opened
up stock Of goods in the building
once occupied by Mr.. A. ]. Holt.
Mrs. Turner left Sunday afternoon
for her former home in York. She
will pack her furniture and move it
here. She and Mr.. Turner will have
rooms with Mrs. Elizabeth Douglass
and do light housekeeping.
Misses Emnie Duncan and Ger
trude Leaman spent the weekend
with their parents.
Mrs. A. H. Best, who had been
over to Charlotte to visit her daugh-
ter, Mrs. True, stopped over and

Miss Rachel McCracken spent the

On account of the abundant rain
fall of Friday Miss Alma Lupo's

Mr.. NJ. E. Abrams and Miss Willie
Duckett, after spending several days |
at the north, buying goods have re-
turned home.
The Lyceum number which came |
last week. was very much enjoyed by |
all.
During the early days of last week
Mr.. J. C. Brooks got goods box and |,
made a slit in the top, into this the
school children were directed to put
their Valentines. Friday we all assem-
bled in the chapel and Mr.. Brooks |
assisted by many little mail carriers
handed them out. The merry faces
and happy laughter of the children |
proved beyond doubt that Father
Valentine was right when he decided /
that as he couldn't do any great
thing to make people happy, he
would just do all the little things he
could to make the world brighter. |
It's the little things of life that count
any way. Isn't it?
