Iktered at the post office at North Wllkesboro, ^ N. 0^ aa second class matter under Act of Marsh *4, 187». A Great Occasion Saturday will be a big day in Wilkes county when Governor J. C. B. Ehring- haus will on behalf of the state of North Carolina formally accept the magnificant Ifift of Rendezvous Mountain as a state park. Although formal acceptance has been delayed since 1926 when the donation was made, the unveiling of the D. A. R. tablet will be an occasion when the youth of Wilkes should pause to catch the spirit of Ben Cleveland and his followers who made the mountain famous. It is to be hoped that the people of Wilkes will not fail to take advantage of the opportunity to gain inspiration from the splendid program which is promised. A Sensible Attitude By expressing his belief that to the victor belong the spoils and announcing his intention to resign, effective the first of next year. United States Marshal Watt Gragg takes a sensible attitude. Although Marshal Gragg is understood to meet the qualifications specified by pa tronage dispenser, Postmaster General Farley, and has not been asked to resign, he will voluntarily retire in a spirit that does credit to an officeholder whose job is a political one and as such should be occupied by a member of the political party that is in the saddle. Marshal Gragg has been an efficient public servant. If there were left any doubt that members of North Carolina’s minority party can fill public office with less than the greatest efficiency, such men as Gilliam Grissom and Watt Gragg have removed that doubt. By taking the attitude Marshal Gragg has .taken, Republican officeholders can set an example for Democrats to follow when the Republicans return to power, as they eventually will unless the obb and flow of party popularity does not continue as in the past. JOURKAgfeUBBOff, . The Teacher The teacher—you'll find her^n the schools of Wilkes laboring with studious, indifferent and dilatory children. They're all grouped* together, the advanced stu dent, the average rtudent and the laggard. She—the teacher—-finds “them thus in from one to seven grades, depending upon whether she is teaching in a one-teecher school or one of the larger consolidated schools. , SCHOOL]] *^*^*1^^CqiMIUNITY NCWS . Teaching is easy. Tho teacher is well paid for the time she works. Why she on ly works from 8:45 in the morning until around 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Haven’t you heard those statements from a dozen different sources? If you have, perhaps you'll be interested in a fuller picture. She arises—we’re still speaking of the teacher—early in the morning, has break fast and then dresses in the best clothes she can afford—it wouldn’t do for the teacher to go indifferently dressed. And instead of going to school at 8:46, she must arrive at the building shortly after 8 o’clock so that she will be there when the children begin to arrive. And then, too, not infrequently she must serve as janitor, build fires and have the building warm for the little fellows when they ar rive. Of course she has leisure time after school closes for the afternoon. Does she? Let’s turn the picture again. She spends her nickels and dimes for a few ^ cards, some construction paper, a miniature printing press and then goes home to make posters, print flash cards and con coct other plans to create a greater inter est on the part of her school children in their work. Maybe, she doesn’t do this every day, but it isn’t uncommon. She has no expenses other than going to and from the school or the cost of her board. That’s the same as any ordinary workman incurs. Have you heard that sort of comment? Well, maybe there’s a different view yet to be pointed out. When little Bobby Jones sticks a nail in his foot or Mary Smith scratches her arm over a rough desk—not uncommon in our school buildings—^teacher has the task of looking after them. If she owns an automobile, she buys her own gasoline and takes them home. But she does have Saturdays off and that’s more than most of us get. Sure, why certainly. But is it true? No, te.acher must keep up with what is going on in the educational field and in the county system. Once or twice a month she attends a district or county teachers meeting. Sports Review League officials have worked out a plan which will clear up the muddled first half title race and Saturday after noon will see North Wilkesboro playing the first game of the “little world .series’’ with some team whether that team is Pur- lear, Wilkesboro or Grier Mills. Baseball fans will welcome th'e opportunity to see the playoff for the championship which will get under way promptly at 2:30 o’clock. However, she does have four months vacation each year. No getting around that. Maybe not. But in order to keep abreast of the times, she goes away to summer school and spend.s a good part of her hard-earned money. Ernest Carmichael, who will undoubt edly be on the mound for North Wilkes boro Saturday, holds a unique record in the local baseball league. The local hurler has w'on 6 games and lost none since join ing the North Wilkesboro club. Carmichael will be faced by a worthy opponent, no matter what team he oppos es. Lee Mullis, of Wilkesboro, Johnnie Os borne, of Grier Mills, and Leslie Rhoades, of Purlear, are not to be under-rated as hurling opponents. The umpiring in the game between Grier Mills and Wilkesboro last Saturday was something to be proud of. The habit has been to put the umpire out instead of the player and this sort of thing will not be tolerated in the series of three games which starts Saturday. Bush league umpires are not the only umpires who get in trouble. Charlie Mor an’s decision in the World Series last week promises to funiish a parallel to the long count in the Dempsey-Tunney fight at Chicago. Pictures are said to show that Manush touched first base before the ball ever entered the picture. Those who wagered a couple of bucks on Washington in the second and fifth games are inclined to believe that “Gen eral” A1 Crowder should be demoted to a corporal. Nay, nay, to a buck private say we. But football is here and it will soon b^ time to forget baseball entirely. Bill Ter ry, who signs a five-year contract at $40,- 000 per year, has nothing to worry about until next season and can forget baseball more easily than Joe Cronin, his rival World Series manager. Anyway, the pigskin will be seen float ed around more conspicuously during the next several weeks than the old horsehide. Do dead little pigs know the glory of hav ing their skins kicked and passed around and do they get a thrill when 40 or maybe 100 thouMnd pairs of eyes gaze intently Upon where that skin Is going? Teacher does all these things willing ly, glad to do her job and do it well. For the job she gets maybe an average month ly salary for the eight months of $65. Surely there is no greater test of the loy alty of the members of the profession. From two to four years of college train ing brings her no larger salary than the average high school graduate gets, but she works diligently at her tasks, unmindful of the monetary return. Perhaps she will be rewarded by the success of some of her boy and girl students. Teaching is a cinch. It is gravy money. Sure. Why not try it some time? SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN PAUL IN ANTIOCH Lesson for October loth. Acts 11:19-30. Golden Text: Romans 1:16. The lesson introduces us to a new city, a new man, and a new word. The new city is Antioch, the capital of Syria, at that time the third metro polis of the world, with a population of half a million, and conspicuous for its wealth and mag nificence. It was the first city in which Gentiles were converted in any large numbers, and thus naturally became the headquarters for the im pressive missionary work among them carried on by Paul and his colleagues. All of the apostle's three missionary journeys began at Antioch. The new man is Barnabas, one of the most at tractive figures in the New Testament. We caught a brief glimpse of him in chapter 9, at Damascus. But here he occupies the center of the stage. Now Barnabas was a beautiful incarnation of the generous spirit. There was nothing petty about him. Note that he championed Paul at a time when the genuineness of the apostle’s con version was under suspicion. Later he came to the defence of John Mark, whose conduct bad an gered Paul. His generosity was more than senti ment. It revealed Itself in loving deeds, for the lesson tells us that relief, probably a caravan of provisions, was sent in a time of famine from An- iiocb to Jerusalem. The new word is “Christians." “The disciples,” ve read, “were called Christians firet In Antioch.” Other names in the New Testament are friends, believers, apostles, brethren, saints, followers "of this way.” But all these yielded to the term “Christians,” now so honorable and universal, al though when applied to thfit small company of primitive disciples In Antioch It was, a designation of contempt. Today we all rejoice in the name. Bat do we take it seriously? To what extent is the title "Christian” a mere convention? Are we prepared •to Meame all the oblignUons' it heralds?. . RONDA, Ro^e i, Oct. 10.—- His neighbors *a» glad to know that after a brief illness Mr. Dan Hamby Is much improved. Heears.

Miss Thelma Sparks, and Mr. Everette .Wheeler, of Kannapolis, visited Mrs. Wheeler’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Prank Sparks, last week end, returning to their home the first of the week. iMr. Sneed' Gentry has made things sweet on the Harrlll plan tation, as sorghum could make them.

October 8th a number of friends surprised' Mrs. Harrison Burcham on her 49th birthday With well filled buskets of the daintiest refreshmeu's. Mr. John Pardue gave the young people of Clingman com munity an old time candy pulling last Friday night. Mr. Monroe Mathis, of Roaring River, visited his uncle, Elisha Mathis, who is critically ill at the home of his nephew, Mr. Frank Mathis at Plum Ridge. Mr. Mathis has been a great suf ferer for years, having a compli cation of physical derangements. Rock Creek News Rev. ti. B. Murray, who has lately been called as pastor of Rock Creek church, filled his ap pointment and preached an in spiring sermon both Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Murray, who has been preaching for more than thirty years both in this state and adjoining others, is expected to make for Rock Creek an able and efficient pastor. The "Round Mountain Quar tet” from the Rock Creek com munity, consisting of Messrs. Earl Wiles, Paul Luffman and Eugene and Clarence Sebastian, furnished music at the birthday celebration of Mrs. Fannie Thompson at Mountain Part, N. TRAPHILL, Oct. Bxaml- naitioiM for the first month of school bavo just been held. Con sidering tto very busy fime in oaring for crops, the students have made a eplendld sboir. Profeesor T. E. Story, wh|> has been principal of Hyiilrteboro' high school for the pest ten years, and Rev. Seymour Taylor, pastor of the Wilkesboro Metho dist charge, spoke at the hlgh'^ school building Thursday nlgbt^ against the repeal of the Blgh-' teenth Amendment Their speech-' es were fair, logical and convinc ing. As an evidence that this is not a political question, and should not -be so construed, one of the above named speakers Is a Baptist and a Republican, while the other one is a Methodist and a Democrat, Miss McCann and Mrs. Bil lings, with their children, gave programs at chapel exercises Tuesday and Thursday mornings respectively of last week. The programs were enjoyed very much. We are sometimes made to ask the question whether or not to be both willing to perform on the stage, and also natural In the performance. It wo-uld ''not be better to remain "small.” Uncle Hardin Holbrook, who Is almost ninety-nine years of age, was In the village Tuesday. De spite the fact that this old gen tleman suffered from an attack of pneumonia last year, he is able to walk about the place. 'While on account Of molasses boilings, and the fact that the I state authorities do not allow school buses to run at night, the crowd was not as large as it might have been, yet the play, "Fingerprints,” given by players of Silas Creek, Ashe county, Sat urday night, was very much en joyed and complimented by all present. Many ask that It return, but it is not probable that it will do so. Messrs. Joseph Woodruff, J. N. Gentry, M. A. and T. S. Bryan, Charlie Miles and their wives, C. D. Holbrook, and C. M. Dickson attended a reunion of the old folks of the old “camp meeting days at Antioch church in Alle ghany county Sunday. iMany reminiscences of the days gone by among which was the fact that about 75 years ago there was 'ot a church house in this whole community. The point was made that “all denomina tions” got together and decided to make this a "get together” place. It has so remained, in theory at least, ever since. The principle theme emphasized in the discussions on this occasion was that these meetings have furnished a “background” for the present generation and that we must "carry on.” J. T. Miles was Master of Cere monies. Rev. G. W. Miles preach ed a very able sermon. Among the other speakers were A. M. Gentry and Charlie Smith, of Vir ginia; Mack and Jimmie Roberts of Alleghany county; T. S. Bryan of Traphill; Professor Warren of Sparta, and C. M. Dickson, teach er of history in Traphill high school. Be it remembered that Rev. Miles, Messrs. Gentry, Smith and Jimmie Roberts taught school in Wilkes and Alleghany counties for many years. The most interesting part of the 'program, perhaps, was the splendid dinner that was set. It seemed that they "all” ate, but they did not eat "all” the food. Agreement was unanimously made that, on the second Sun day in each succeeding October, a similar meeting shall be held. Naturally, on this mountain, the earth and the sky seem close together, but while no “trans figuration” took place, there is no dbubt but that to those who listened to the testimony of those o 1 d “silver-haired-landmarks,’ the earth seems to rise and heav en stoops to meet her. Long live the memories of occasions like these! Miss Beatrice Holbrook, teach er of English In Traphill high school, accompanied her aunt, Fannie Holbrook, to the hospital In Statesville Saturday. While so far as we know, her condition Is not serious, we do not know the exact nature of the trouble. 0. A large crowd attended the \ ^ fumtohed by The Smith La- celebration with well filled bas kets. The qnartet was beard both before and after the dinner. After the occasion with Mrs. Thompson, the quartet attended the speaking by Attorney James from Elkin, at the school audi torium. They furnished some ap propriate songs for the occasion. Mrs. Earl Wiles and Miss Nllta Sebastian accompanied the boys on their trip and on their return spent some time in the home of Rev. L. B. Murray. Mr. Udjr Wood, who la attend ing A. S. T. C. spent thq week-end with his parentaTl^ hhd; Mrs. J. H.
