Among those present were, from Caromoun!,; Owen Solmon and his guest, Bil! Baldwin; Randolph Sutton, Hulor, Sutton, Carl Wal lace, Merle Wallace, Lester Vick, Coy Trye, .Frank Ashby, W. L.

They ,tailevi out in a boat together at Columbia and were peacefully fishing. Their was no rough wea- liier and the water was as calm as they had ever seen it. They *vere so contented because every thing was so perfect that nothing could disturb them. Then all of a sudden, right out of a clear sky, it happened. For no reason at all Coye fell out of the boat into the water; and ac cording to Sol he went clear out T sight. After scrambling back into the beat and getting all settl ed to start fishing again; Coy falls right out of the’^boat again. This time he went even farther under. (All this is according to Sol—Coy said that Sol caused him to fall out the second time.) That was the last time, too. Luckily it was a warm day and Coy dried out in a short while with no ill effects. He did lose his rod and reel in the mishap; but he hopes ';hat the people whom they rented the boat from will find it later. But in the mean time he had to paddle while Sol enjoyed good fishing. Is there any wonder that Sol pushed him out? (Eljtmtng Irila In a far and distant city, I was home-sick and lone; It was on a Sunday morning, I heard an old familiar tone. ’Twas the Church bells gaily ring- Playing hymns I love to hear; ,Anr; at once my memory traveled, Back home and those held dear. Amazing Grace and Jesus calls us. Over bfe’s tempestous sea; Come thy fount of avery blessing, iNearer, Nearer Aly God to Thee. Yes "he bells kept on playing, All the day, into the night, Then I turned my footstejjs home- Vvard, For wi»h God T'd made it right. Years have passed l>ut still the music. None on earth can sweeter be; Bring its message of Salvation, Simply Nearer my God to Thee. John W. A.dkins, Roseboro, N. C. fi/nd The wind up, the throw. It’s gone, it’s gone! The sun was shin ing, and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. It was just a beautiful day. Everyone was having a won derful time. Every once in a while someone would let out a “Boy, that’s a beauty” or “Why can’t I do that” and then everything was quiet for a while. Yes, it was a beautiful day for baseball or maybe fishing. I didn’t see the wind up or the the pitch; but I did hear the “It’s gone!! It’s gone!! and so I look ed up and it was gone. Yes, gone over the side one rod and reel. So as you look around you might see someone jumping up and down, swing one arm over head. Don’t worry, it’s just the wind up.
