There were two things that i'm
pressed me as young boy NY faith
er would make it his business to go
out to the buggies that young men
and women were sitting in and in
form them that services were start
ing and invite them in the church,
and the other fact that impressed me
was that his sons, and especially my
brother John, would watch for his ap-
pearance on the church ground. and
would meet him, take horse and fast
en- it to limb and walk with him 20
the church, or to the gathering of
neighbors under the shade of the
trees.
The Sabbath at our home was spent
in calls by the young men of the
neighborhood upon the young ladies
in our home, and in singing only sac
red songs around the piano. Many
remained to supper, but at ten o'clock
my mother would come in the hall
and clap her hands and the young
ladies would understand that it was
a signal for them to retire to their
rooms: but 1 remember their !inger-
ing over the stair railing with ardent
hand-clasp and signs.
St. Johns Parish
There was located prior to the
Revolutionary War at what was later
Jones Springs, a church known as
st Johns. This was the Establish
ed Church, and had at it's rear the
Community grave yard. This grave
yard, or at least part of it, was en-
closed by rock wall. After the De-
claration of Independence this church
was abandoned, as it was the official
English church, and our citizens were
declaring their independence of all
things English. In the graveyard of
this church were buried many of the
early settlers and members of st.
Johns Parish-among them Mrs. Ed
ward Jones, whose husband had died
in 1851, a member of the Provincial
Assembly at Newborn, leaving a
house full of children. Twelve years
later Mrs. Jones married Thomas
Cook, who was born in 1925. Mrs.
Jones was said to be the first white
woman to appear in this section, COM

DICKSON & COMPANY
HAS F Asst GROWTH
Started on Small Scale
Three Years Ago, Now
Large Local Concern

Dickson & Company is one of Hen
derson's newest enterprises, having
been established here only three years
ago. But in that short period of time
it has made for itself, through it's
genial and capable manager, C. p.
Dickson, Jr, a big place in the bust
ness life of the city
MI Dickson is the sole owner of
the company, but is assisted in a most
valuable way by Mrs. Dickson, whose
turn for things of a commercial ma
ture has developed along with the
growth and expansion of their COM
pany..
Starting in small quarters on Hor-
ner street, just off South Garrett,
the company was quick to outgrow
that cramped store space. A large and
commodious brick structure on the
opposite side of the street a few doors
further west was leased and occupied,
and the growth that has come with
this expansion has in every sense of
the word justified the faith that was
manifested in this forward step.
The building is located next to the
Horner street entrance to the recent
addition to the Farmers Warehouse
It is convenient of access to growers
patronizing the Henderson market,
no matter which warehouse gets their
tobacco.
A complete line of heavy groceries,
flour, feeds, grains, hay and other
farm supplies, lard coffee, sugar, salt
and canned goods is carried and this
merchandise is sold at retail or whole
sale. A full stock is carried at all
times.
The new location furnishes plenty
of loading space in all kinds of
weather at all times.
All goods are purchased at the
lowest possible cost because of the
concerns buying power connections
with C. P. Dickson, ST., of Raleigh.
The business is carried on upon a
cash basis the year around, with the
result that there are no losses due
to bad and uncollected accounts. It
is the policy of the concern to deal
fairly and with the utmost honesty
and courtesy with all customers. Mr..
Dickson assures his friends that "our
employees are at your service; call
on them" He guarantees the lowest
possible price of quality merchandise.

have been requested by Mrs
Thomas Harrington, formerly Miss
Sallie Tannahill Pritchard, and by
Mrs. Robert H. Switzerland, form
erly Miss Sue Jones, to furnish such
information as 1 may have personally
and through my father, who for sixty
years was a stewart at Shocco church,
in reference to this church.
May 1 say that my father never
missed any service at Shocco, nor
any District Conference to which he
was appointed as a delegate. Even
at eighty years of age he woulo
ference, enjoying every minute OF his
visit.
In writing the story of Shocco as
l knew it as a boy and young man.
my fathers name cannot be left out
or that of my mother or our house
hold. It was, as a rule, the Preacher
home In fact, when Warren Circuit
was Divided and the Parsonage trans
ferred, our Pastor had no official
home. Then it was that the Rev.
j. r. Griffith, Mrs. Griffith and their
months. sNIr Griffith was a power
full preacher and many were con-
verified under his ministry. 1 presume
that the church records will give the
names of all the preachers who serv-
ed Shocco.
1t will sbe of interest to say that
Shocco always had a live Sunday
school, and that the fathers and
mothers and their families in that
community were faithful attendants.
The school went on Summer and
Winter, and we would gather in the
autumn and spend a day in prepar-
ing wood for the long winter Sab
baths.
My father had the idea that it was
the dutyS of a parent to say to his
children Come let us go to Sun
day school" Never, "You boys go to
Sunday schools We would walk,
but the young ladies who were in the
home ihcluding the school girls, for
