OLD FORT NEWS VOLUME II OLD FORT, N. C., THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1929 NUMBER 30 THE OLD FORT NEWS The Old Fort News is pub lished each week in connection with the Marion Progress. REV. DIXON RETURNS FROM VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY MISS GERTRUDE DULA, Editor and Business Manager. AN OLD FASHIONED GARDEN There’s a gorden of dreams where the crepemyrtle swings And the roses are white in the gloaming Where the hush of old beauty lies heavy and sweet, Scarce stirred by the winds that are roaming. There a tiny swing han^^s from a gi:arled old tree. There the larkspur’s a blue-petaled glory; There the gray flagstones lead thru a way that is dim. Like a thread to the heart of a story. There time holds its breath, there shrubs grow to trees. There beauty g^rows old in its quest ing, And the garden dreams on in its fragrance-hung calm. Where even the shadows are res”ling —Elizabeth Eggleston. Rev. Paxton T. Dixon, pastor .of the Old Fort Circuit, Marion District Church at Old Fort, who attended the sessions of the Rural Church School which was held for two weeks at Vanderbilt University by the School of Religion, has returned to his charge at Old Fort.

FUNERAL HELD FOR CRASH VICTIM AT OLD FORT The funeral services for Loster C. Harris, who died at Statesville Tues day morning, were held at the First Baptist Church of Old Fort Wednes- ABOUT YOUR FOOD Have you noticed that all nature is shedding her wood houses and j day afternoon at 2 o’clock, earth ^uses for the life-giving sun-1 Mr. Harris who had spent most of shine of God’s great out-of-doors? i his life in Old Fort had many friends Do you know that NOW, in this balmy spring weather with its light and heat and rain and consequent transformation of everything that breathes or has life—now is the time when w^e, along with every animate being, should really live? In the old pioneer days, so the sto ry is told, Nome had just emerged from a long Alaskan winter. The first steamer had arrived in port upon re opening of navigation there, and had on board some 500 pounds of fresh vegetables and fruits for free distri bution to the vitamine starved that thronged the shore. Previous to this, it had been no uncommon thing for these same crowds to raid the first ship in and loot it of every vestige of green stuff such as fresh vegetables and fruits to satisfy their craving for those body-building, blood-making substanr ces lacking in their winter bill of fare. This experience with the dwel lers of Nome illustrates the instinc tive craving of the physical nature for those indispensable and highly satisfying food elements found in all green and fresh foods, so essential to health and to life itself. Have you noticed how eagerly the domestic animal rushes for the green food, after being fed on a more or less dry diet for months? Have you noticed how the egg production in creases along with the addition of some green food to the ordinary mash or scratch feed for the chick ens? Do you know that the vegetable world feeds on'the mineral kingdom and that the animal world must feed on the vegetable kingdomT Do you know that the minerals found in the earth, no matter how finely they may be pulverized, cannot be wel appropriated by the body, but must first be organized, as in plant life before they can be available for the body’s use? Do you know that for the con struction of healthy blood and tissue, nature is dependent for her building materials on the foods you eat? Do you know that the health and vitality of your body is fust as dependent on a normal supply of the right kind of food principles as is the strength and durability of the machine dependent on the materials used in its construc tion? —The Food Man. and more than five- hundred people were present at the services. His death was due to the effects of injuries sustained in an automobile accident which occurred Monday night on No. 90 hi^way between Statesville and Mocksville. Surviving are his wife and four children, his father and mother, Mr, and Mrs. J. Richard Harris; four brothers and three sisters.- The funeral services were conduc ted by the Rev. C. L. Taylor, who was assisted by the Rev. I. A. Rhine- hardt and the Rev. H. C. Marley. In terment was made in the Old Fort cemetery. LOCAL AND PERSONAL ITEMS OF INTEREST Mrs. L. E.

C. “THE OUTCAST” Miss Griffith is one of the few emotional actresses who is equally at home in comedy or tense drama. Her light moments in the role of the girl of San Francisco’s tenderloin, who not only rises above her own envi ronment, liut also becomes an up lifting influence in the life of the man she loves, were played with whimsicality and charm. There is al ways a convincing human quality in this beautiful star’s character delin eations, which marks her work with intense sincerity. Everybody’s Thea tre, Friday arid Saturday. Car Salesman—“This is our new ‘baby seven.’ We are selling them literally by the dozen.” The Wife — “Really! And how much a dozen are they?” “THREE IR EXHLE’*’ In the opening scene of “Three in Exile” the acting of Rex, who begs for a drink of water, is so real that many in the audience fairly lived thp emotions of the dog. A word muSt also be said for Black Beauty, who played the part as an outlaw horse perfectly. This picture should not be missed by tho.ie who love animals and a Z. L. Lackey attended the County sweet, clean, human story. “Three Commencement at East Marion Wed- j in Exile” will be at Everybody’s nesday night. 1 Theatre, Mondky and Tuesdiay. rVERYBODY^^ THEATRE ^ OLD FORT, N.
