How Easter Was Spent Here.
Easter Sunday here was a cold, raw
day, especially before noon. In tne
afternoon the weather moderated and
people began to crawl out of their
homes and get on the sunny side of
the streets. Religious services were
held in the churches Sunday morning
and at night at the Methodist church
in Pittsboro an Easter musical
program was carried out.
Easter Monday passed off quietly,
a few of the brave and fair ones veif
turing out to the river and other
places and quietly picniced through
the warmer part of the day. But the
heat from stoves and wraps felt much
better than the cold northeast winds.
LIGHTNING STRIKES BED.
Alamance Observer. (
During an electric storm here re
cently the residence of Jule Boggs,
who.resides in West Burlington, was
struck by lightning. It is reported
that a bolt of lightning entered
through an open window, cutting a
hole in the screen and penetrating the
footboard of the bed in the room. Two
of Mr. Boggs’ children were sleeping
in the bed but were uninjured, ac
cording tp the report. The bed was
completely split, causing it to fall to
the floor. It is said that the children
were not awakened by the lightning
but awoke when thrown to. the floor
as a result of the bed being split by
the lightning. It was a very unusual
occurrence, and has no parallel in the
history of Burlington citizens.

| WOULD ABOLISH ALL DIVORCES
Judge Who Presided Over Stillman
Case Says Congress Should Act.
i New York, March 31. Complete
abolition of divorce is urged by Su
preme Court Judge Morschauser, who
presided over the Stillman case in an
' article in the April number of Colum
bia, official organ of the Knights of
Columbus, made public today.
Declaring that he believed the abol
! ition of divorce should be brought
i about by congressional legislation, he
added: v
“But that is a long way ahead be
! cause there are unfortunately—-so
i many middle aged and .elderly men —
; and some young ones—who for one
; occasion, or another want new wives,
i “But one great practical step
which should be taken immediately
j is the passage of legislation making
j decrees obtained in Paris or elsewhere
lin Europe invalid. It is all wrong to
let rich men or women run off to Par
is to get divorced. We should not al
low a condition to exist which per
mits wealthy Americans to escape
from the operation of American laws”
Justice Morschauser would have di
vorce cases tried in the open because
he believes publicity has a whoifcsome
i effect. He would permit separations
and annul lments.

IS IT NOT WHEAT HARVEST TO
DAY?
(By Henrietta Morgan.)
Pittsboro, N. C.
O’er the earthland fields are waiting,
’Mid the shining rays of Dawn,
In the night there comes an echo
Os a throng fast moving on,
. Through a lonely shadowland.
Guided by no Heavenly hand.
Even now there go forth toiling
Faithful ones o’er hill and dale;
Sowing in life’s early springtime
While the dreams of youth prevail,
Reaping in the peaceful fall,
God’s great blessing over all.
May the Master of the Harvest
Ever by His Spirit guide,
Send the sunshine and the raindrops
And the dews at eventide;
Till the long night ends in day,
And earth’s heartaches melt away!
Democracies will save us?—Never!
Neither will the woman’s right!
All our grand and noble structures
Are as nothing in His sight!
He who longs for one faint heart,
Set from all the world apart!
Oh, the sadness and the darkness
Brooding o’er the blinded earth,
Blinded by the darts of Satan
Laughing in unholy mirth.
Let us break those bonds asunder!
Stand ye forth like sons of men!
Oh, my people, won’t you listen*?
Won’t you wait for one short hour?
Gladly will He gently lead you
From beneath the Tempter’s pow’r.
Shield you with His precious love,
Shared by saints below, above.
Are your lights then dim and feeble,
Only Satan says they are,
Even now they may be guiding
Some poor struggling soul afar!
Go then, set them on a hill,
Lighting all the nations still!
He that sleepeth in the harvest
Is a son that causes shame!
Let us then arise and hasten
For the glory of His name.
For the days are hastening on,
Soon will. come the Great Day’s
Dawn.
OPERATE FOR BRAIN TUMOR.
New York, March 31.—An opera
! tion for brain tumor, during which
the patient, Henry A. Brown, 49, of
Newark, N. J., under local anaesthe
sia only, discussed his feelings with
doctors and nurses has been describ
ed by the staff of Beth Israel hospi
tal.
The operation was performed Feb
ruary 27. The patient has recovered I
sufficiently to return to his home.
More than a year ago Brown was
forced to leave his furniture shop I
when his right side became paralyz- 1
ed. He complained Invert head;-!
aches, sometime was seized
epileptie gw. Then M» * memory filled
into a semi-stupor.
_ xxiaiiy he was taken to Beth Is
rael hospital fpr an operation. Be
cause of his weakened condiiton, it
was decided that he could not stand
a general anaesthetic.
During a period of lucidity, Brown
agreed to submit, under local anaes
thetics, to a two-hour operation. He
was told to tell the surgeons when
ever he felt the anaesthesia wearing
off and was warned that unexpected
movement on his part would mean
his end. .... . ,
Dr. K. Winklefield May performed
operation, pausing only when the pa
tient asked for more anaesthetic. The
skull was trepinned, the brain cover
ing removed and a tumor two by four
inches and three-quarters of an inch
thick was revealed. *
I Brown said the first result he notic
,ed after the removal of the tumor
j was cessation of the headaches. Then
Ihe regained his memory gradually.
Finally his paralysis disappeared, and
; now he can move about freely.

THE VOILETS.
The following poem was written by
one of Miss Mary Bland’s fifth grade
i pupils at Brickhaven:
i
| “The voilet has a purple hue,
A touch of yellow and of blue,
It has a little hood of green,
That can scarcely be seen.
“It nestles in tKe leaves *
That bend in the breeze.
Near to the earth it clings,
Sure of the joy it brings.
Down in the fresh, green meadow,
Where the cattle browse and low,
You will find this modest flower
After the hasty April shower.
“This wee flower gives joy
To every girl and boy,
Who takes time to look
For them the brook.”

CORINTH NOTES. '
Corinth, April 3.—The good weath
er, a dragging and some hauling have
' put our roads in fair condition again,
i Mr. and Mrs. N. M. Thomas are out
! again after a two weeks’ siege of
measles.
We certainly did enjoy the play, t
“When a Man is Single,” put on at
Corinth school house Easter Monday
right by the good people of Lystra
school, near Chape] Hill. This is the
second time they have come to our
community and eaah time they have
made a big hit. They displayed some
talent that would be a credit to most
any road play.
One day last week a big crowd of
school children from one of our best
communities came to Buckhom for ai
picnic and in less than 30 minutes
one of the other parties was inquir
ing where he could get a bit of joy
water to help out on the picnic.
When will this damnable notion that
a picnic even of 15 year old boys
and girls, be incomplete without a
bottle of booze ever be stamped
out? That is most easily answered.
Just as soon as not more than one
half of the best people in the country
really want it stamped out. Just en
force the laws we have and we will
soon have the curse under control.
Then on Easter Monday at another
big annual school picnic two boys
from a neighboring county came to
the picnic loaded for bear and aftei
being relieved of two partially fill
ed pint bottles of liquor landed in the
hands of an officer on a charge of pub
lic drinking, disturbing the peace and
having liquor in their possession.
We will sure appreciate the laws
when the people learn that they do
not have to get drunk to have a good
time at a picnic.
Miss Effie Morris spent Monday in
Raleigh having some dental work done
Miss Gayle Mims substituted in her
room for the day.
Mr. T. H. Buchanan and family
spent Easter in Fuquay visiting Mr.
and Mrs. R. S. Ashworth.
The Easter Monday picnic at Buck
hom was quite a success. The day
started out cold and clear but warmed
up so that the Betterment sold out
all their 15 gallons of cream and bar-

Herbert Hackney, departed this life
January 26, 1923.
Herbert, he has ceased to be,
His little form no more we see,
His sweet voice we hear no more
Nor clatter of feet from door to door
His lifeless form we laid to rest
In Hank’s cemetery—God knew best
To take him from our fond embrace,
Where he’d behold his Savior’s face
There he’ll be till judgment day,
When God to all the dead will say,
“Rise to meet your risen Lord,
And wear a crown —your great re- |
ward.”
We miss him every passing day, ‘
Where once he used so much to play
His sweet voice and pattering feet,
We hear no more out on the street.
We all must die, God’s way is best i
We rest assured his soul’s at rest,
And of His goodness he will share,
When the roll is called he’ll be
there.
His stay on earth was a short time,
But now he is in that sun-bright
. clime, i
Resting in Jesus* sweet embrace,
Beholding his Savior, face to face.
Free from toil, free from care,
We hope one day to meet him there
Free from earthly toils and fears,
Where God will wipe away all tears.
The blessed Jesus spake these words
free,
“Suffer little children to come to
me,
Forbid them not,*’ the Scriptures say,
Then let us all the command obey.
—Mrs. David Baker, Bynum. >
