''Wile never fought VS.. Germany
as a hole, often had hot words with
August Klinke, the garbage man."
writes Ring W. Lardner, the humorist,
in applying for membership in the
American Legion post of his native
town.
The letter is addressed to Ashley
Guthrie, commander of Riverside post.
It is dated at Great Neck, n. Y. 1t
follows, in part:
Friend Ash: I write to apply for
the position of buglar in your post and
you will go a long ways before you
find my equal in footing the horn. AS
for my qualifications for this high
office, ask Tommy Gross if I can't
make the old bugle talk. I have mas
tered all the calls including taps and
revelry which I never wasted no
breath on in Riverside because the
boys wouldn't go to bed so they didn't
have to get up. In applying for the
position 1 know in advance what the
knockers will say namely that
shouldn't ought to be allowed in the
Riverside Post on acct. of not liveing
in Riverside and secondly because l
didn't take no part in the war. Well,
Ash, I expect to be in the next war
as they are going to draft men from
so yrs. old down instead of vice versa"

In Memory.

On May LIST, 1921, God in His
infinite wisdom called from the
home of Mr. and Mrs. John M.
Snead, their little daughter, Mel
lie Virginia, aged 10 months and
l6 days. She was sick only nine
days wi h that dreaded disease
meningitis. All that physicians
and loving hands could do was
done but to no avail, God willed
otherwise and we bow in humble
submission to Him knowing that
He doeth all things well, and our
loss is her eternal gain. She has
gone to be with him where there
is no sickness, sorrow nor pain.
1t was hard to give her up.
Her little body was laid to rest
at Mizpah church to await the
coming of Christ. May Gods
richest blessings rest on the be-
reaved parents and loved ones.
The moonlight stars are cleaning
Upon silent grave
Where sleeps without dreaming
The one we could not save"
Eyes, we miss you, darling Virginia,
Miss your sweet and loving smile,
But we hope to meet you in heaven
Where we will never say goodbye"
Her Aunt.
Mrs. J. E. Ussery.

Several brought their sewing
bags, ready to begin their hats,
but Mrs. Covington was late get

any wire or criveling, so we had
to sit there and wait on her. We
knew she would come, for she
never disappoints US. When she
arrived and had entered, she
said, better late than never"
Of course we couldn't quarrel
with her then, for it was high
time for work.
All decided it was so late that
we would all work on the hos
tess a hat. We. had just got
started on the hat, when the hos

sure enough we were fooled"

these treats to the fullest extent,
except the two Maggie Coving'

big dinner down at the club
house, this being the reason they
we're late, They simply couldn't
stand any more. These treats
are nice, after the business Of

don't expect any, our aim is to

Little Girl Dead.

On last Sunday morning about
4:30 o'clock the death angel en-
tered the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
]. M. Snead and took their little
daughter Virginia she died at the
age of l year, 7 months. She
was buried Sunday evening at 4
o'clock at Mizpah church; funeral
conducted by Rev. WIN. Higgins.
She had been sick a week with
that dreadful disease Meningitis.
Virginia is dead and her death
brings sorrow to us all but we
know she is better off for she is
safe in the arms of Jesus; we can
not understand why a lovinglittle
girl just blooming into girl hood
and bringing so much joy and
supshine into the home she loved
should be taken from us. But
He that doeth all things well tells
US that some day we shall know.
Father, Mother grand parents,
relatives and friends did all that
loving hands could do, but the
Lord said suffer little children
to come unto me, for of such is
the Kingdom of heaven"
Dearest Virginia, thou hast gone to thy
long resting place;
We hope some day to see thy sweet
smiling face,
That always seemed to be filled with
the richest kind of grace;
Never more can we hear thy little voice
and the prattle of your little feet.
sWhile write these lines tears from
my eyes doth flow
Because, dear Virginia, we always loved
you so.
We miss you at your home where you
used to play
And know if you could return glad It'd
ing you.would bring.
Dear Virginia, in thy room we stand,
Where death has laid it's icy hand.
You we're mild and loving, gentle as the
summer breeze;
Pleasant as the air of evening, as it
floats among the trees.
How we miss you Virginia darling,
Miss the one we loved so dear
But God knew best and called you home
In heaven with him to rest.
HerAunt,
Maggie Ussery,

ELLERBE SCHOOL
COMMENCEMENT
Begins Sunday, 18th, and
Runs Through Wednesday,
18th. Two Graduates.

The first commencement ever
held in the new high school
building at Ellerbe will begin
May 18th.
The class of 81 is very small,
only two that will graduate, Ed
win Key and Arch McAskill.
Mr.. Key deserves much credit
for coming back and finishing
his high school work after sever
al years in the army and much
of this time was spent in France.
Mr.. McAskill has also been
tossed about very much. He
: was in the S. A. T. c. at N. c.
State, then last fall we find him
in school at Hamlet; but. finally
he falls in the right pew and
finishes his high school work in
Ellerbe High School.
Each of these graduates are
excellent athletics, Key making
good in basket ball and catches
in baseball; McAskill making the
football team in Hamlet and cen.
ter on our basket ball team; he
was also captain of the. basket
ball squad.
We are looking forward for a
bright future for these two men
in college athletics and their lit
erary work as well, for they are
doing some high grade work in
their studies. Each of them are
planning to- enter college the
coming fall.

McHenry boosted his average from 1882 to .401. Leslie Mann and Jacques Fournier, two other Cardinals, went on a batting rampage during the week, the former tacking on 26 points for an average of .3SS, while the Frenchman ad- vanced IS points for fourth place with an average of .36S.
