Looking Back
? Ten- Y ears
Wood row Wilson is Gathered Unto
the Fathers:-Washington, Feb. 3.?
Former President Woodrow Wilson
died at 11:15 o'clock this morning.
The place of his entombment and
whether his funeral will be public
or phivate will be determined later.
The end was peaceful. Life ebbed
away while be slept.
A tired man, he closed his eyes,
and, "sustained and soothed by
an unfaltering trust," passed on to
the great hereafter "like one who
wraps the drapery of his couch
aBoyt him, and lies down to pleas
ant dreams!'"
Dr. Grayson, his friend and phy
sician,. announced the end of the
great war President in this bulle
tin:
"Mr. Wilson died ae 11:15 o'clock.
His heart's action became feebler
and feebler, and the heart muscle
was go fatigued that it refused to
act any longer. The end came peace
fully."
The Legion Hut: The American
Legion boys are going right ahead
with plans for their building, and
when completed will be no# only a
credit to the boys, but will fill a
long felt want in this town. It will
house the town officers, furnish a
rest room far the ladies coming in
from the country, and contain an
auditorium which will seat seven
hundred and fifty people, thus giv
ing the town an auditorium long
needed. You will hear from the
. boys now soon .and we feel sure no
one will turn them down.?(Another

was telling of her record with her
hens;* Prom fourteen hens she sold

suggestion by the State Agricultural
Department and keep at least thirty
pens.

CHRIST, THE GIVER
By Obediah Frailer
It can truly be said that every
good and perfect gift cometh from
the Lord. We give gifts to each
other and if we give with the right
intention it is the spirit of Christ
that prompts ourselves to gve.. Let
us stop and consider the times to
gether for a few moments. What
a change that has taken place for
the last year or two, and even Just
one year ago, since President Roose
velt has taken oath as President
things have begun to happen and
it seems that everything points to
a brighter future from a financial
i standpoint. I am fully convinced
and hope and trust, dear people.
| that our good Lord has given us a
man when He' gave us President
I Roosevelt. One that will do our
selves much good in the future,
j Now, since times are getting bet
ter, and the merciful Lord has so
(wonderfully blessed Us In that He
has brought us out of a very criti
cal and trying time, are you and
i myself going to stop and thank Him
for doing so? I say we should.
The Lord has blessed we as farmers
in this state the past year with a
, good tobacco crop and we have got
a little profit from the sales there
| of. And also Christ haven't only
blessed us with material things but
He gave Himself to die on the crdss
for us that we might receive the
; remission of sins if we believe and
I obey Him. I think, dear friends, we
need as a nation, as a state, as a
: county, as individuals, to consider
more seriously our obligations to
I our Lord. Since Christ has brought
spiritual blessing into the world and
is blessing you daily with material
thing*, let you and myself make a!
resolution tor nineteen hundred and
thirty tour and all the rest of our
lives that we will let Him keep
our heart*' and use our lives few
His glory. Sinoe what we have Is
not ours and we are not our own,
but are bought with a price and a
mighty dear prise It Is, the blood of
Christ. So you and myself need
to add a little more to our resolu
tion to go all the way with Christ.
Since we are getting more money
for our labor and our farm produce
let us be more liberal in giving to
that worthy pastor of ours, because
Christ loves a cheerful giver, and
please remember that Christ said
as you do this unto His little ones'
you do it unto Him. The Bible
teaches us to owe no man anything, i
so while we have the money let you <
go over and pay that neighbor or 1
friend what we owe htm. and. oh j
yes, I was about to forget. Let us (
go over and pay our brother editors ,
what we owe them. I think they!,
have been mighty nice to wait so
long. And there are two other par
ties we ought to see If we owe any
thing. We should pay , them if we|
possibly can. And that Is our old1
faithful friend, our family doctor
and we must not forget our friend
the merchant. If there is any more
due on the grocery or dry goods bill
we should pay It at once while we
have the money. I think we should
not make them wait any longer for
pay because they have been mighty
kind to wait so far. Let us do unto
our brother, sister, and fellowman as
we would hav? them to do unto us.
ind oo fulfill the will of Him who
ia the Great Good Giver of all good
gifts, whose word teaches us -to love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart
and with all thy souLJWd with all
thy strength and mind and to
love thy neighbors as thyself. Love
Is the theme. Love is supreme.
