The Yolinfie of Business Not Known to
lumbers of People-Mr Wyatt De

Faith, Oct Bl Faith is growing
faster this year than ever before.
There is a large number of peo
ple here who don't do anything
but work in the granite quarries
the year round, wnen tne
weather is not too bad. There
are thousands of car loads of ,
very fine granite all over this
section. The rough granite is
not so valuable, but the work
that is put on it to get it in the
proper shape is what counts.
The contractors do all their busi
ness tjy mail, writing and answer
ing letters, figuring on jobs of dif
ferent kinds and telling people
what they furnish r certain kinds
ework for on board of cars in
their city. Lots of people get
granite from this place, and send
the money for it,' and never see
the man or men that they deal
with. They hear of them and
know them as business men and
granite dealers.
The mail route along this way
is a great blessing to this section
of the country. Large packages
of newspapers come to our office
for the people in this settlement
J T Wyatt, of this place, is . 48
years old today, and in order to
remember his birthday ho dc?
nates a3Q3-f oot mill-stone (now
cut ready to ship) to the Oxford
orphan asylum, at Oxford, N. 0.
If they, or any one interested,
will sell it, the money can go to
the asylum, all except one dollar
to pay for hauling it to the Salis
bury depot from Faith.
If Faith had a railroad she
would grow into a city in a very
short time. The people make
horse troughs, hearth rocks,
bases, steps, door and window
sills, cemetery and street curb
ing, and building stones, and
many other things out of gran
ite, and it will last until Gabriel
blows his h orn, for we quarry
hands to all come and take a
rest.
The Hallowe'en Party.
Written for'.The. Standard.
The Hallowe'en party given by
Miss Jennie Smith to her niece,
Miss Cassie Watson, was a most
novel and delightful affair.
The Smith house was trans
formed into wonderland. The
spooks presided over the party
and their ghostly silence was
very impressive. The evening
was one continued surprise, and
the many tests of fortune kept
the company in a high state tof
delightful enjoyment.
The All-hallowe'en was car
ried out in the decorations of the
table. At supper each guest was
given a candle, tied with ribbon,
on which was told their fortune.

much expression, a selection

It is not the handle of an
umbrella that keeps one dry in

that. The covering is the im

handles itis safe to consider the
coveringf.is"we3k and inferior.
