TORY.
Rev. M. L. Banister says, 'Well, it
looks as though the back of winter
is broken" Says I, Il hope it's NECK
is broken"
Miss Emma May and Miss Nell
Burnette have returned from Hen,
derson, where they were guests of
Miss Christine Clapton.
When Miss Maggie Garrett, of Mel
son, Va, gave me a sub to this paper
last week she told me she had two
geese setting on fourteen goose-eggs.
Now don't think a diamond as large
as a goose egg would be very pretty.
What do you think?
N. C. Crews from over to Vance
County came in town and asked me
when I started to write all that fool
ishness in their paper. l can't ever
forget that night when we were boys
and they had a party at his house
and had the whole dining room table
all piled up with boiled custard and
cake. My mouth has literally started
to watering.
Miss Helen Hicks, of Stovall, spent
the night with her cousin, Mrs. Mack
Edwards. Miss Helen'S mother, Mrs.
Lille Hicks, the postmistress of that
city, was in our town today.
1t certainly looks good to see w.
L. Speed riding back and forth to
and from his work again. He has
been sick for some time, having I'M
dergone a serious operation at Duke
hospital some weeks ago.
Last week Jimmie Elliott, of north
Granville, his sister, Mrs l.. H. Chand-
Ter, of Virgilina; her son, George;
and Edward Frazier, of Route 4, OK
ford, all left by auto for Hot Springs,
Ark. They planned to be gone for a
month.
Jimmie's brother, Earl Elliott, said
that for years he had hoped to take
trip around the world if he ever got
able. Then the Woodmen of the
World, of which he is a member, sent
him world atlas Since studying
that, Earl says, There is too much
world" So he has given UP his trip.
And with that, I give up my trip.

Today's Church
Message
OUR YOUTH.
BY REV. J. EvERETTE NEEsE.

OON
One hears from almost every direc-
ton that the younger generation is be-
ing soundly berated as unruly, ire
sponsible, lawless, and vicious. If the
indictment is true, it reflects very Sc
riously on the parents of our day. The
need of more religious training is
generally recognized All efforts of
the church to influence young people
spiritually are futile without the help
of parents. The good example of 4
father and mother is infinitely more
influential than all admonitions. Lit
tie James and Jane correctly argue.
eff the church is good for us, why is
it not good for father and mother?"
The youth of today cannot be trained
by the principle: Don't do as / do,
but do as 1 say do" All parents have
been entrusted with immortal souls,
for the construction or destruction of
which they will be held to strict &C.
count Give your children good ex-
ample of faithful church attendance.
This, and only this, will give them re-
ligious training.

FAREWELL.

Sit down by my bedside, darling,
That you may hear my dying word
My time on earth is over,
Because my Savior's voice I've
heard.
He's calling me to my heavenly home,
When l shall know no pain.
Now as / fall gently asleep,
1 can hear the angels sing.
So think of me with kindness, dear,
When on earth l am no more,
And meet me again in heaven
On that bright and happy shore. z

MEMORIES OF A PAL.

When evening shadows begin to fall
And all the world seems still,
I think of the times with YOU old pal,
When we roamed the old mill hill.
Hand in hand we strolled along
Just as happy as could be,
But now 1 wonder dear old pal,
If you ever think of me.
Although I know you've gone away,
And that you were untrue,
I often wonder if you cared
Of if you ever feel blue.
Now as shadows calmly fall
And the flowers are damp with dew
1 just can't help from bringing back
Sweet memories of you.
