The scenes are laid in the Sunny South in North Carolina the new Eldorado canopied by golden skies. The characters in the story many of which are taken from real life are chivalric, manly, womanly and helpful to the average reader, though surrounded by the availing environment of the ideal. They give the book a charm which agreeably diverts the attention when the serious interest loses its holds, and are developed from within and without as the narrative goes on. The story strong ly appeals to all classes of readers and ends happily for all concerned. The book contains 485 pages handsomely bound; in green cloth, and is sold for .$1.00 at the Pinehurst Department Store. In Wonderland. Mrs. Eliza Cheek, widow of Leonard Cheek, visited our village last Friday for the first time. She lives about ten miles from town in a country neighborhood known as "Summer Hill," and was born within three miles of her present resi dence nearly seventy years ago, but has seldom visited a village except to market in Carthage, the county seat, about three miles from her home. During the Civil war she visited Fayetteville, about thirty five miles away. Her visit to Tinehurst she considers the most wonderful event in her life. Sbe had never been on the steam or elec tric cars and had never seen an electric light or the numberless modern improve ments that add to the comfort ami pleas ure of the people in this community. On her arrival here she was shown over the Department Store, and the sys tem of steam heating was explained to her. A glass of sod.i water was a gre.it surprise, and enjoyed for the first time in her life. After some persuasion she rode on the trolley car to Holly Inn, and it puzzled her to see the car propelled without horses or steam. The Holly Inn was a great source of wonder, and the music room with its tine decorations and natural wood finish, and the handsome large dining room seemed to overcome he power of speech. The Bowling Alley was visited and care fully explained, and then she was taken to the power house. Here she looked in to the great boilers with their fires of burning wood, and when it was sug gested that wicked people went to such a place she remarked that the good book said so. The great engines that generate the power for the electric car and for the lights were also objects of interest. The laundry in the rear of the power plant was then inspected and the method of washing clothes by steam was ex plained. The large drive wheel making its rapid revolutions impressed her more than anything else. The office of The Outlook was also visited, and it being press day the old lady had the pleasure of seeing just how a newspaper is printed. She was made happy by a present of several copies of the paper, and started for home feeling that she had seen more in one day than in all her previous life. Baby Mil aw and Cake Walk.

A very interesting three-string bowl ing tournament took place at the Pine hurst Alleys I ist Monday afternoon be tween two teams made up of our towns people. The first team was. with one exception, composed of the players who were victorious over the Southern Tines team last week, and the other team was made up of players who got togeth er in order to help out the sport. The players were well matched and the contest was very interesting and close. At the end'of the llrst string the regular team was eleven pins ahead. The second string was a tie. The third string was very exciting, as the teams bowled very evenly, but the second team gradually overcame the lead of the regu lars, and finally won by 02 pins. Following is the: KKGILAKS.

On Tuesday afternoon the two teams came together again and one man was added on each side. Three strings were rolled and the regulars won, 2771 to 2718. Our people arc very much interested in bowling and the alleys are proving one of the most popular amusement features in the village. There is talk of forming another team to challenge the champions. Obituary. The death of Mr. M. K. Nichols last Friday afternoon came unexpectedly and was a great shock to his friends here and at his home in the North. Mr. Nichols came here a few weeks ago with his wife and a party of fiiends for a winter vacation. He was a man who had never enjoyed rugged health but was in his usual health when became here. He expected the out-door exercise would strengthen him and exerted him self every day to be in the open air. On Saturday, .January 28th, he overtaxed his strength and on Sunday had a chill which soon developed into pneumonia. The best medical talent and a trained nurse were provided, and everything pos sible done for his comfort and recovery, but without av.dl, and on Friday after noon he quietly passed beyond. Mr. Nichols resided in Med ford, Mass., where . for many years he has been known as a quiet, upright, and unassum ing citizen. He was one of the oldest merchants in the Charlestown District, Boston, having conducted a dry goods business there for nearly 30 years. The body was taken to his northern home on Saturday, accompanied by his widow and 31 r. and Mrs. Franklin Her vey, who are close neighbors. The bereaved relatives have the sym pathy of all in the community. Nodal Dance. There was a social dance in the Village Hall last Saturday evening and a large number of our villagers were present. Music was furnished by the Holly Inn orchestra. During the evening a colored man executed a clog dance, greatly to the amusement of those in attendance. A good time was enjoyed by all.
