Copies of this book, the work of the late Blon H.
Butler, former editor of The Pilot and best known as
“The Sage of the Sandhills,” are now available at the
Sandhill Book Shop in Southern Pines. The supply, ex
hausted for some time, has been replenished by the
book’s publishers, Grosset & Dunlap, and copies will be
on sale from now through the Christmas holidays.
No more suitable gift can be thought of for one
desirous of presenting something with local color. The
story of Aberdeen’s old church which has been the cen
ter of development of this section of the Sandhills, its
influence nation-wide in the last century, is beautifullyt
and interestingly told by one whose body now lies be
neath the shade of Old ^thesda’s stately pines.
The book is beautifully bound, and contains num
erous halftones of early settlers of this section, of old
landmarks, of the ancient edifice and the sacred grounds
which surround it. It is a ihiRtory of this neighborhood
which all who love the Sandhills should read.
