As they talkadj ilready noticeable changes in . iperature, the perhaps re a certain day in their child , i v. hen they fell in the cold wn i the old creek and came home Keth chattering and clothing., .nched, to be administered hot! and hotter 'words by worried 1 ents.

But the wise merchan diser keeps his eye on the calendar, not on the thermometer. He knows ; that another season is at hand. So, J. C. McNeely & Co., Dalton Bros., i the Davis Sisiters' Shoppe and oth er? advertised last week that their summer stock must be ivuved frm, their shelves, to make room for the fall shipments already beginning to arrive. Some of the prices at which ; some of the goods will be sold were' quoted in last week's advertisement. | But there were many other values; equally as good, which were discov-; ered by the many who thronged the j stores to take advantage of the bar pains. The advertiser and the pub lic benefitted by the former's pro gressiveness, and the latter's thrift. The season's change, and the monotony of the year is broken. And interruptions in our regular routine Wr.g added interest to our lives.! We run along in the same old path f f, r quite a time —and then comes J sore pleasant surprise. Life takes on n'-w color and verve. We are re-| freshed, and do not mind the hum-j ovum of every-day affairs. How; nueh was added to the life of the; fete T. P.

E CAMPFIELD Henrietta Man Had Not Miss ed Religious Service in T wenty-Thr ee Y ears— Funeral Monday Henrietta, Aug. 24.—Mr. H. Ed die Campfield, aged 62, died in the hospital Sunday morning at eleven o'clock, afjter an (illness of V>o m e time. He had been in the hospital for several days, undergoing treat ment. Funeral services were held from the Henrietta Baptist church Mon day afternoon at two o'clock with I Rev. J. A. Brcick, Ihis 'pastor, in charge, assisted by Rev. W. T. Tate, of Pacolet, S. C. Interment was in the High Shoals cemetery. Mr. Campfield is survived by his widow and the following children: Mrs. C. W. Phillips, Henrietta; E. W. Campfield, of Forest City; L. B. Campfield, of Gaffney; Mirs Bu ford Brooks, of Ellenboro; Mrs. Pearlie Green, of Henrietta; Mrs. Kenneth Putnam, of Avondale; and Bessie, Odell, C. C. and Willie Camp field, at home. Pall bearers were Messrs. W. W. Hughes, M. H. Kennedy, Roy Har rill. R. M. Wilson, C. W. Wilbank's, and Henry Toney. Mr. Campfield was a faithful member of the Henrietta 'Baptist church. Prior to his illness he had not missed a service in twenty-three years. run back to the wonderful summer days enjoyed with Grandpa and Grandma Honeycutt. There in th ;t delightful atmosphere, her comforts and pleasures seemed ever so much more important to them than did the exact date on which Columbus discovered America, or whether, ; n fact, Leif Erickson had landed on those shores so many years before the coming of old Chris. " * I When Dr. and Mrs. R. R. Howes mci children returned from their | tip to Maine and £outh Carolina, j as last week's paper says they did, J they looked about and noted the j changes that had taken place in the town and countryside during their absence. By now, they will ha T . e, talked over those changes and many 'other things with friends who re mained in Forest City w r hile they were away. They have been toid how intense the heat was at home and how the "stay-at-homes" were unable to accomplish aims, because they were "played out with the heat." Then, if the travelers es caped the torrid weather, they'll glory in telling how delightfully cooi it was in the places they've been. But | maybe it wasn't cool in Maine and • South Carolina, either. Well, then these who suffered the high tem-j peratures in Forest City will be con soled by the assurance that heat is "so much worse" when one is travel ing and denied the comforts and in formal conveniences of home.
