No. 26 ,1 1 I 10 TME AT BETHEL , Sunday School Convention The Vet- - -' trans and Everybody Else EaTt a .Good Tim. . . " --.. The people of Bethel, the capital of No. 10, beld their Sunday school con vention last Friday, the 6th of Au gust, and that convention is one long ' to be remembered. Bar, W. L. Hutch- ins, the Methodist preacher from For est Bill, was engaged to make the ad dress, and it is a puzzle to know now they secured him, for no one knew his name. Some called him Hoggins, others called him by other names, and the superintendent of the Sunday school actually introduced - hun Hutchinson, r If he had gotten mad and left the -place, no one could have blamed bun; but when he took, the stand, he told them that his name was neither Hugging nor Hutchinson, but that he was none other than the old man Hntchina himself. ' Then he set a trap for the congre gation, and before they were aware of 'wha( was going on, the last one of them was under the - trap; then he sprung the trigger, down went the trap; he held them spellbound -' for about thirty minutes. ' v: v , The Veterans' Choir from Concord was invited to go down and help do the singing, and of course they were on hand and did all they could to help with the music. -. ... Bethel has one of the best trained choirs in the county and well may Bethel be proud of it The Bethel : people were so anxious to learn if the choir was coming that they 'phoned to Concord. They -were informed tnat George Fisher had filled his big band wagon with veterans and had started " them towards No. 10; The day was an . ideal one.;1 It rained the day before which laid the dust. When the veter ans hove in sight of the church they saw something that alarmed them very " much. Tbev saw a man near the church waving a large white cloth :. that looked to be a flag, the kind that we used in time of war to give the movements of the enemy. Our driver was not in the war and of course kept right on. but . when we got close enough, we saw. that it waa Unele Jim Russell with his big white Handker chief .waving for. us toTsome on; then ; weere glad for wcrnww there "was no danger ahead. - - , Uncle Jim had nailed a box to tree that looked , more like a horse trough ' than 'anything else, and. as soon as we all got out of the band - wagon, uncle Jim led ns down to the trough where we found all kinds of fruit, apples, peaches, ..pears, grapes and man yother kinds of fruit. After, the ' morning services were over we were all invited down to the arbor, where we found a table weight ed down with good things to eat, and all -, were asked to help themselves, which they all did. ' The writer wore his straw hat to Bethel and when dinner was announc ed he pTaced his hat under the table thinking perchance something good might fall in it, remembering at the same time how things at home would be when he got there, but the people mistook the hat for a waste basket ,'and began to fill it with chicken bones. After dinner was over, wo all repaired to the church, where and when dele - gates were chosen from the various schools to attend the county Sunday . School convention.. Then we had some more musie and when the sirvices in tbe chureh were over, we all went to the grove where the old veterans sang a number or war songs. , The time had arrived for ns to de part, and very reluctantly did we leave, the plaoe where we had spent one of the best outings that we have nad since the choir was organized. We will remember BetheL W. M. WEDDINGTON, A Horse Has a Hemorrhage. - A horse belonging to a Mr. Talbirt, of this city,, became frightened at a , train Saturday afternoon just in front of the Luberger Poultry, Farm, on the Kannapolis road, and made, several violent plunges while attached to" the . .'. buggy and was" at once taken with a , hemorrhage of the lungs. ; It bled pror luseiy and it Hooted at one time as , if the horse would die.' Dr. Griffin was summoned and after working with the animal some time it regained . strength enough to. be brought to the eity. Dr. Griffin thinks the horse buret a blood vessel-during its mad attempt to run. . - v '-, tf r :- .Veterans Dinner Tonrorrow. Two long rows of tables 'have been . constructed at the court house lawn for the veterans picnic tomorrow. The veterans' . choir and ; the Woodman band will furnish musie for the occa sion. Every detail of the preparation - has been completed and everything is in readiness for what promises to be the most successful veterans picnic ever held in the, county; Addresses will be mad by Messrs. C. E. Boger -and L. T. Hartsell. ' . ,The Republican county convention here last Saturday did not instruct for eiiher ilorehead or Duncan. JUXI02 OSS 3 U.

"The records at our fffice, he continued, "show that the (ate of increase in the sales of our products has been greater during the past year in this section than in any other in the country. "I have heard some merchants com plaining about the amount of busi ness they have been doing, but others rnase good reports and, so far as I 4an see, appearances are with them. $eme firms may not be doing as much lusiness as they used to do or as much k they think they should be doing, but in nine cases out of 10 it is their awn fault or is due to new and live competition. The live firms are doing nsineaaand, take it trom. me, it is not the live and progressive ones that are complaining.

State library There fell asleep on July 21st in Concord, one of the State's greatest noblemen. This wss Capt. J. M. Odell 'and while he claimed Concord as bis I home the influence of his life and his accomplishments made of him a real 'citizen of the state at large. This writer feels keenly that aet ia 'nature, which we call death, which re "moved from personal touch and sight one, who to us was more than an ac quaintance. Outside of the circle of home ties, Captain Odell was first the very first who extended ns a hand of welcome when we entered np on the duties of life in this good town." In days of trial and doubt, molested and tossed by the affairs of business, -this grand man, whose heart and purse and helpfulness never failed a deserv ing one, answered easily and cheerful ly more than one distressed ealL It did him good, for that was his neart. There are hundrers of others in the state to whom he threw out the sub stantial means for making a fight for weathering a storm, and not a few young men. and women owe to Capt. Odell an everlasting gratitude for as sistance in removing the cloud of ig norance that shadowed them. The acts, the kindness, the accom plishments, with respect to his fellow man will never die the service be rendered the state as a true citizen and the work he wrojght in the indus trial life of the state can never be ob literated. This is truly a death that touches the whole stato, and a pro found sympathy in fell foi ihe sorrow ing widow, the distinguished son and the devoted cla ljhtcr, who ara sorely tereaved.
