Page Bight TOE PILOT Friday, July 17, 1925 TOWN OF VASS AND ITS COMMUNITY (Continued from page 1) in the rear is their warehouse, and stands on the spot where Paul Gfichwind once ran a blacksmith shop. Mir. Gschwind, you remember, was the founder of the “Dutch Colony” here, coming to Vass from New York City nearly thirty years ago. He aban doned his down town shop several years ago, but still does emergency work at his little home shop. Next to the Little River Store is a build ing owned by H. C. Cameron, of Olivia. The first floor is occupied by Gunter’s Store, owned by T. K. Gunter. This store carries a line of dry goods and groceries, also. The second floor is the meeting place of the Woodmen of the World and the Boy Scouts, and here, too, is the office of Dr. R. G. Rosser, the com munity’s popular and capable doctor. Just beyond this block, you see a little wooden building. It is the property of T. J. Smith, and formerly served as the office of Dr. J. H. Matthews, who gave his life in combatting the influenza epidemic of 1918. It after wards served as postoffice until the erection of the new building. The next building is T. J. Smith’s garage, and on the opposite side of the street is the machine shop of E. Dunkhorst, in the old building where Dave Bjrrd ran a cold drink stand in the Yester day. From the Vasa of Yesterday, the place where the few families worked together for the common good, has eyolved the Vass of Today, the Vass which we have just visited together. The greatest thing about the town? Without hesitation we say that it is the spirit of its citizens. The spirit that was shown when the early settlers set out to build their school and church—the spirit that caused them to close the bar rooms, even though^they. were profitable from a financial standpoint—the spirit that causes the citizens of Today to think of the common good rather than of personal gain alone—the spirit that says first of all we must make of our €own and community a good place in which to live. State. A clinic is also held at the North Carolina Sanatorium every morning except Sunday from 8 to 11. These clinics are all free of charge. Arrangements for examination can be made by writing the Superintendent, Sanatorium, N. C. There is no need of any person in North Carolina be coming seriously ill because of lack of diagnostic facilities.

TERMS OF SALE: CASH, TIME OF SALE: NOON, Monday August 10th, 1925. RALPH W. PAGE, Trustee, 8-7 By Johnson & Johnson, Attys* TYPHOID FEVER AND ITS COST (Continued from page 1) often robs the home of a useful mem ber. Insurance men often get a history of typhoid as a cause of death of some of the applicants relatives. Now thinking over the enormous and varied costs of the dreaded disease and remembering that an ounce of prevention is worth more than 1000 pounds of cure, any one would be silly not to take typhoid vaccine every three years. Should everybody do that typhoid would be stamped out in 10 years. DISCOVER CURE OF TUBERCULOSIS (Continued from page 1) appear until the disease has passed the early stages. Tiredness, or fa- ’Higue, without good reason is one of the first and more common symptoms. A loss of weight should put one on guard. Loss of appetite and indiges tion is often tuberculosis and not stomach trouble. A slight bloodspit- ting, pain in the chest or pleurisy, and a subnormal temperature in the morn ing—rising a degree or a degree and a half during the day, are practical ly always symptoms of tuberculosis. A person with any of these symp toms should go at once to a doctor and have a thorough examination. The North Carolina Sanatorium employs two doctors, specialists in tu berculosis, to hold clinics for the diag nosis of tuberculosis throughout the Thursday afternoon, July 3, the “Lower Lights” of the Baptist Sunday School of Vass, and their teacher, Miss Florence Leslie and Miss Myrtle Leslie picnicked at “Horseshoe Bend” which is one of the beauty spots of Moore county. Here Deep river twists itself around so as to form almost a com plete horseshoe, with an area of several hundred acres within the bend. This plantation with great fields of corn, cotton and alfalfa is now owned and operated by Mr. John Wilcox. But the spot of special interest is the home of Mr. Wilcox, which is a very old dwelling built nearly two centuries ago by an English nobleman who came to this new country perhaps for sport and adventure. About the year 1781 it was the scene of a fierce battle be tween the Tories under David Fanning and Colonel Philip Alston who was a Whig and with his family was liv ing in the house at that time. Several people were killed and the bullet holes are very prominent on the front walls even to this day. This house after wards became the home of Gov. Benja min Williams a native of Moore county, who is buried just across the river from the mansion. The house is a marvel of preservation. Time seems to have wrought only slight changes. Mrs. Wilcox is a charming hostess and made us feel at home on our arrival by telling us many inter esting stories about the historic old place. At 4:30 we spread our picnic supper on the green slope at the rear of the house underneath those wonder ful and majestic water oaks, the largest we have ever seen. A pitcher of cold water from the well on the porch added greatly to our refresh ment. Then we bade goodbye to our new friends and started home, stop ping at the big bridge to take some pictures and returning by the farm of Gov. Williams. THAT LITTLE FELLOW A careful man I ought to be, A little fellow follows me. I do not care to go astray For fear he’ll go the self same way. I cannot once escape his eyes, What’er he sees me do he tries. Like me he says he’s going to be— That little chap who follows me. He thinks that I am good and fine. Believes in every word of mine; The base in me he must not see. That little chap who follows me. I must remember as I go Through summer sun and winter snow I’m building for the years to be That little chap who follows me. —L. H. Joyner.

PINEHURST WAREHOUSES PINEHURST, N. C. Any time is a god time to recover the house or the other build ings, or to repair or look after the old roof. But it is always im portant to select the right kind of roofing. There are many va rieties of roofing, but when you see the name JOHNS-MANVILLE on roofing you know it is the right quality. In the last shipment of ■JoHns-Man'ville Roofing we have a big amount of two specialties, the Slatekote Shingles, in Red, Grey and Blue, and the Giant Slatekote Shingles in Red, Grey and Blue. The Giant Slatekote Shingles are a heavier grade, bigger, more durable and rugged for more particular uses, with a high grade felt base, thoroughly saturated and made waterproof with asphalt and armored with crushed slate. The name of Johns-Manville on the Shingles is a guarantee of quality. That they are offered for sale by the Pinehurst Ware houses is a similar recommendation. This is a roof cover we recommend.
