Tliere came to Mr. John R. Ald
ridge’s home last Friday Mr. Rufus
Aldridge’s first grand son.
We regret to learn that Mr, H.
Clay King, a prominent citizen of
R. F. D. No. 5, met with a verv
^ «/
painful, but not eerious accident
Saturday afternoon' at Long’s
Chapel, while loading a large box
that was used there during the con
ference.,, In some way Mr. King
fell and the box fell upon him in
such a way as to break three ribs

world. Can it be that death, and
death alone, will turn us from
our rt,uuldeuing chase of wealth to
C^od, the giver of every got>d and
j^erfect gift? C'an it be, that ac-
tju iroment and not enactment is the
goal toward which we are all strug
gling? How much better it would
be if ever^^ one in our own town
and county would turn from the
hurry of business activity and .steal
away, like the Arabs of old, aud of
fer unto God praise, prayer and
thanks that are )ustly due to an
all- wise Father.
We call upon the citizens of Ala
mance county to demand of the
business men of the county thut
they dose th^ir doors of business to
the v.’ovld and open the windows of
their souls to God. Whether this
shall be done is left'for the mtriotic f«''
