ALEXANDER MILL ITEMS |

At our little village we organized I
a Baptist church on September 28,
with 14 members. At the Sandy Run
Association, which met with the
Shiloh Baptist church October Bth, we
had a membership of 21. Our ap
portionment in the 75 Million Dollar
Campaign was placed at SI,OOO
We have jux>t gone over the top 1
nobly, securing $3,440.00, or 344 per !
cent over our quota. We are very I
proud of our people and-the manner j
in which every Baptist responded. 1
T'lis is one town in Rutherford conn- j
ty where not only every megjjber-
the church contributed to tms cam- j
paign, but every Baptist lined up i
heartily. I doubt if there is another
town in the state where every Bap
tist-In the town contributed to this
great and glorious cause.
On November the 23rd a Methodist
church was organized here with a
membership of 17, with bright pros
pects for a much larger membership.
We have a great people here who be
lieve in education and Christianity,
and show their faith by their works.
There was a surprise wedding in
town Saturday night. Mr. Clyde
Rucker and Miss Carrie McCurry
were the contracting parties. They
have the best wishes of the entire
village.
Prof. A. V. Nolan attended the
teachers meeting in Raleigh Thanks

Baptists Go "Over the Top"
- - Booze Captured
(Special to The Courier)
Last Sunday was a/ memorable day
> fcr the Baptists of Cliffside. The
' day began with a sunrise prayer-
I meeting at the church led by the Paa
. tor, Rev. D. J. Hunt. At 2:00 p. m.
1 the teams and workers in the 75 Mil-
J lion DoUar Campaign met* at the
& ehufcß' and held a short devotional
T service after which they went out to
j make the canvass for pledges. At
I six o'clock all the workers were back
: at the church and when the pledges
had been counted it amounted to a
I little more than $20,000.00. The
church used the Bubget System and
this amount includes church expenses.
When the amount was announced
there was a moment of silence then
simultaneously the congregation clap
ped their hands and cheered for very
joy. It is expected that a goodly
sum will be raised this week as sev
eral had not been seen who are sure
to give substantial pledges.
Miss Belle Nix of Bsft Cave has ac
cepted a position with the Cliffside
: Mills.
A Union Thanksgiving Service was
I held in the Baptist church last Thurs

Last Saturday a car passed through
Cliffside going toward toward Chesnev
A man made the remark that the etfr
looked a bit suspicious to him. The
car kept going, but just after cross
ing Broad River at the Buck Shoals
Bridge the car broke down. The men
in the car were seen hiding something
in the woods near by. It was report
ed to Constable A. R. Wall and Police
W. B. Wilson who hastened to the
scene and captured two .men,, .Jim
Keeman and Jim Pjtrris with the
goods. There were comething over
twenty gallons of whiskey and brandy
The men and the "booze" were
brought here and appeared before
Squire R. B. Watkins Who made their
bond $400.00 cash which they put up
after considerable trouble. The me*
stated that they lived near Chesnee
and were on their way home from up
towards the mountains where it »
presumed they intended to dispense
of their goods. Every law-abiding
lr.w-respecting citizen should co-op
erate with the officers in every way
possible and stamp out this curse froia
our country.
