OLD FOLKS DAY AT FAIRVIEW
(For last weeks issue.l

According to their usual custom
last Sunday was old folks day at the
Fairvicw Methodist church. After the
sermon by Rev. ]. M. Griggs of Todd
N. C. the pastor T. G.. Williams an
nounced that Uncle Wash Norris was
going to treat the children, and all
over SIS years of age. Soon two large
baskets of fine red apples were be-
ing given out, and this was not a
surprise to the. children as Uncle
Wash had been playing this trick on
them before. After the apples were
distributed we all felt like children
too, and the good ladies of the COM
munity spread most sumptuous din
ner on the green grass beside the
church, and everybody became ben
eficiaries to this splendid treat. If
you are looking for kind and hospi-
table people in the vicinity Of Fair
view you will find them.
~ After dinner the people returned
to the church for the vening service
which consisted chiefly fo what the
older people call an experience meet
ing. 1t was very pathetic and con-
soling to hear a number of aged bret
rem whose heads were white with
the SHOWS Of many winters, give a
retrospective account of their past
experiences, and re-afirm their faith
in God and in the Christian hope.
The last speaker was Uncle Wash
Norris, who is SO years of age and
one of the mdst highly respected
christian gentlemen to be found in
our county. Uncle Wash, leaning on
the back of his chair said, Eighty
years ago there was only one church
in all this mountain section, and that
was Three Forks Baptist church. The
Methodists and Lutherans held their
services in school houses at that time
l remember distinctly eighty, years
ago being at a meeting at Three
Forks church and after minister
by the name of Shell had preached
a sermon, they sung that good old
familiar song, "When shall l see Je-
sus and reign with Him Above?''
While they were singing this beau
tiful song my father and mother were
converted to the Christian religion,
and when l come to die, if am in
my right senses, l will ask that this
good old song will be sung as
pass away"
Some men are chilled by the snow
of age, their thoughts are darkened
by the approach of night; not SO
with Uncle Wash. His sun is going
down full orbed and lustrousf
1T would be we'll to have more
Old Folks Days, and greet these
old faithful veterans of the cross,
and make them feel that their SER
vices for God and their country were
appreciated. If the young people
could only appreciate every oppor-
tunity to listen to their words of
wisdom, hear their admonitions and
take the advice of the aged, much
bitterness and sorrow could be av-
oided in. the years to come.
King Rheoboam refused to take
the advice of the old men, but fol-
lowed the advice of the young men
which led to a divided kingdom and
tribal jealousy--sowed the seeds Of
idolatry, and finally carried the cho-
sen people to Babylon in Chains.

The management would ex-
press sincere appreciation for
the many letters and kilograms
of sympathy received on ac-
count of the death of a devot-
ed wife and mother. 1t is al
together natural for each to
think that his mother or wife
is the best, but we do say no
better woman has lived than
the one who has SO recently
been taken from us, and her
works will surely live after her
We will not further eulogize
upon the life of this Christian
character, whose loss we SO
keenly feel, other than to say
she did her duty to her family
her neighbor and her God, and
died with out an enemy.
