EprtoRiAt Association Entered at the Postoffice at Loniaburg. N. C. aa second class mail matter. Though times seem hard and blue we have lots to be thankful for. Louisburg is delighted to know that Kevs. A. D. Wilcox and A. L. Thomp son, were returned to Louisburg and Loulsburg Circuit. Predictions are being freely made that the next political compaign will be made along the lines of control of power companies. Announcements from several aec-| tions that employment is being en larged by big concerns indicate the| return of better times. If the next Legislature will have the Slate take over all the highways of the State for maintenance and con struction and use the convicts to do the work, and finance the schools liotn State raised funds our tax sit. nation will be greatly relieved. We recently heard of a business whose liabilities represented less than twenty-five per cent of its assets being teady to throw up its bands and quit. Fully seventy-five per cent of the businesses in North Carolina is in a worse shape than this and they con tinue without any handicap. The Louisburg Kiwanis Club, through the efforts of Mr. Dandridge Spotawood, are presenting an indus trial survey of Louisburg and Frank lin County. This work Is very broad in its scope and exhaustive in the treatment of the several subjects dealt with and will no doubt be of great value to the town and couifty. With the trend of the times nov turning to better business and more progress everybody should throw aside the grouchy argument of "hard times'* and do a little boosting to as sist the return to normal. Ninety nine per cent of the present depres sion Is due dlrctly to the mental con dition of the population crying "Ca lamity". GREEN HILL HOME The following extract was taken from a speech of Hon. Joseph us Daniels before the N. C. Methodist Conference In Henderson, on Nov. ltth: Of all the shrines of early Meth odism. Green Hill's home, near Louisburg, only a short distance from this church, stands ont above all others. It was at the home of Green Hill?patriot, soldier, states man. preacher, leader la church and Bute?where the Hrst Annual Con ference of "the people called Metho dists" was held In this Common wealth. Hither came those two pion eer giants?Francis Asbury and Thomas Cooke?-on April SO, 17SS. and In Green Hill's home the plans were set on food which oflleially or ganised North Carolina Methodism. Dr. Cooke thus snmmarlses the event: "There were about twenty preachers or more in one house, and by making or laying beds on the floors there was room for all. We spent three days (from Wednesday to Friday. Inclusive) in conference aad a comfortable time we had to gether. "Fortunately, the Green Hill house stands; It has been preserved by his deceadanta and is now the ty of Her. B. H. Davis, a rel splrttual la scholarly and Pis the high Ished family North Carolina of Mr. Do men would do for the early Method let hJetory of their eeBunmattiee i what Mr. Davis. Dr. Ivey and other* here done (or the fcoafetence tt | ureen nut, the mission ol the Hls ' toricsl Conference would meet the ' high expectations of its founder*. | 'It has been suggested that this home of the Firsf Conference should i be obtained as a Methodist shrine, that collections of all characters showing (he flavor of early Method ism, be gahered there, and pilgrim ages' be made to It by the faithful, j This suggestion la worthy of the eon ? s deration of this Historical Asso ciation. If the more* ambitious plan for the purchase of Green Hill's home may not at once be realised, permission should be asked of the owner for the Association to erect a bronxe tablet marking the spot where Green Hill was the host of pioneer circuit riders, the reverber ations of whose horses' hoofs, as the preachers traveled and preached, are still heard on the banks of the Tar by those whose ears are attuned to the lessons of history. Tt would be fitting one afternoon of this ses sion of conference it a pilgrimage to this sacred Methodist shrine, where four sessions of the Annual Conference were held, could be ar ranged. It would kindle interest in a history which would stimulate present day Metodlsts to a new seal and a new evangelistic consecration. GREAT GRANDDAD "Great granddad when the land waa young Barred hla door with a wagon V tongue, The tlmea were rough, the wild erneaa mocked. And he said his prayers with his shotgun cocked; He was a citizen tough and grim. Danger was like duck soup to him." And again: "Twenty-one children came to bless Great granddad's home in the wilderness If they got fresh with great grand dad. He tanned their hides with a hickory gad. He raised them rough, but he raised them well; If they took hold of the ways of hell. He filled them full of the fear of God And trailed their pants with an old ramrod." ?Kinchen Council.

"No .fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds," the poet says of Novem ber, but he Is wrong even for this latter November. "Peaches" are here the year round, apples and many other fruits most of the time; we have real roses on the bush as well as many other flowers and numbers of birds. .Thug popular songster, the mocking bird, is still ainging in our midst. The writer has a frying sise <S 1-1 lb) chick, that may be classed as a freak. It Is minus what Is com monly called the "oil bag" or trap per from which the tall feathers grow. The chick wap hatched that way, and there Is just that much "short" about him. With that ex ception, and a slightly crooked beak. It appears to be perfectly normal. The chick Is of the Black or Jersey Giant breed. "Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold," asserts Mr. Jeffer son In one of his ten rules. Assum ing that % be true, the time seems opportune to lay our pride aside al together, for awhile at least. The Book also says: "Pride goeth before destruction, and 'm haughty spirit before a fall." In another ons of his rules Jefferson stated that. "We sel dom repent of eating too little". We are so thankful for the bles sings of the past year that we re fute to accept a wider acquaintance with adversity. W. C.

CAROLINA fon'ttr dot ?0 (Stttr ulfjrm Statu A woman whose son is in his second year at college writes that her boy is well mannered and intelligent but docs not seem to have any objective. "His father and I urge hiin to decide what he wants to do in life," she says, "but he tells us that he can not make up hi? mind." For the encouragement of this mother I can cite two interesting cases. A certain man now stands npar the top of his profession, with an income considerably in excess of a hundred thousand dollars a year. He worked hard in college, but his health was poor; he was frequently despondent, and at his gradua tion he felt that he was not trained for anything. He took the first job offered, and made surprisingly good progress. Just about the time that his parents thought he was well established, he suddenly chucked the job and started around the world. After a year's travel, which used up all his savings, he started in another position. The company failed, and he was out again. A third time he started in a different line, but it did not interest him. He could not get to first base. On his fourth attempt, when he was almost thirty years old, he finally found work that gripped him. Also, he became engaged to be,married. He jumped into high speed and has been successful ever since. _ I know another man whose ability was clearly recognized by the heads of the big company where he worked, but some how they could not seem to fit him into the place where he would be really productive. Four or five times they shifted him into different departments. They were just about to turn him into the street when he struck the one thing for which he was really fitted. Today he is vice president of the whole concern. When I buy an Automobile the salesman tells me that it has been perfectly manufactured for its work, and care fully inspected and tuned up. At the same time, he says that I must be patient with it. For the first two thousand miles I must run it slowly, and I must bring it in often and have it adjusted. We expect this in an automobile. But in a youngster we have the notion that the factory?which is the scchool or college?ought to turn him out all ready for a championship race at high speed. ? It takes a lot of wisdom and patience to be the father of a boy who is starting in life. Bovs must hkve a chance to get adjusted. You've got to give Ihem time. enrol mailt for tha bow roar waa 40.
