I F * •u-!" ■ ■ T'S'V-.a* ^ ip**i NO 10. my fornMT wtickt I luiYi <mly **hit tht ld^plitc«B**--r^Ye not elalK «nted on •ay Wb|eet. Why? &i tteae das^ of rash and pnrii, whik the people are goinc pel-mel, they only read m tiiey nm. In early dayr ^Hien readinf matter was aearce, when the nation was a^tisfted with CSod's time, then they could read long prosey articles. Then the hearse drove slow to the cemetery. Now we go at the rate •f twenty miles an hour. Then, we remained until the grave was filled, Uien, the benediction. Now we have the benediction when the body is low ered in the ^ve. We leave the fill ing to the janitor. We drive home at the same speed. The Jews mourn ed thirty days for Moses, but they • were on old time. We are on the new. You call me an *‘old timer**, and 4o I am. I am proud that I was bom when I was and \i[here I was. I have experiences in two centuries. . I am proud of my parentage. On my father’s side, we are English. My agiother*s people came from Canada. They were of Dutch descent. Old man John Arch Jordan said -that there were three kinds of Dutch—the white Dutch, the black Dutch and the d m Dutch. It is supposable that we are of the white variety as ✓ the Duckworths are of a light c'om- plexion. The Hamlins were like Moses— slow of speech. But the tongue of the Duckworths (some of them) was loose at both ends, and from this veiw point, the writer partook muchly of his mother’s blood. Both families seemed to possess staying qualities, live and die at the same place. This writer was the first one of the tribe to cross the Mississippi river, (to the best of my knowledge). Some will say, how is it that you ex tol the old country and yet you left it?. That is easy to answer. It is said that one morning early, Daniel Boone heard a chicken crow in the distance; that he came in and told his wife to pack up, it was get ting too thickly settled there for him. Father said if you kept sheep too long in the same pastiyre that they would have the rot. From a boy I had - aspirations. Father was mj^ company. My brother, J. M. Hamlin is eleven years my junior. I would often tell him of my air castles as I got older. He would say that a rolling stone gather ed no moss. My only answer was that a setting goose never got fat. I did not leave North Carolina be cause I could not make a living there, ^o indeed. I had a good farm, f3r young folks we were doing well. But I had an objective. Uncle William Duckworth was a favorite counselor of mine. I could un-bosom myself to him. He wbuld often say, “Jim, make a spoon or spoil a horn.” I never have regretted the 28th day of October, 1869, when with a two horse wagon loaded with a camping outfit, five children, a mule and bug gy for an invalid wife, a cow and a dog, I bid my father farewell, when thru tears, he said, **Son, I will never sea you and Mary Anne and the children any more. I hope the Lord will bless you. If I could call back a few years, I would go with you.” These first words were heart render ing; his last words were strengthen ing. I imagine I hear some one say. •‘Did you gain your objective?” I answer, ‘Tome and see.” IN CONCLUSION What I have written, I hive writ ten. Whether my articles have been interesting ti the readers of the News I know not. I thank the Editor for the space I have occupied. I hope he does not think it was wasted. If I have mis-stated or over-drawn any of the incidents that I was pleased to mention it, was not intentional. My aim was to give the true subject or thing or place, but give it in my own language and my own style. In the matter of churches and schc^ols I would love to have elaborated, but did not widi to infringe on space. In closing these articles, permit me to say it has been quite a source ot satisfa^on to me brining by gone days firnh to mind. Whlla I am ask* •d by pfivate coTrespon<lmci« to con tinue w^itim; and'to be more elabor>' ate, cireumstaneeb at the present time Will not p«rmit Amo^ olili«r iUngli my gnmd-daugjbttn^ IGas Fkntenco Alexamkr, my typ&t, Ste ^Ven notice of h^ res^^tion of her position in the firm of Hamlin A Hamlin, also as assistant tecretary of the City Park Board, to take effect the 15th of May. She has accepted the position of Queen of the home of Mr. Roy Sul- lens. The office force and the Park Board regret losing such an efl^ent officdr. Her business tact, her gen iality, will be hard to duplicate. JAMES REGEAN HAMLIN Springfield, Mo. note:—In closing these articles al- ' low nie to extend to my N, C. friends my kind remem brance, and best wishes. As Abraham said to Lot, we “be brethren.** Selah. H. THE PRAYER CORNER “Our danger in this our hour of victory is Obvious—to accord to Physical forte and military might a K)sition in ow own nation from which we have dethroned it ih our foes. “The real victor in this fight is God, who maketh war to cease in all the world. He breaketh the bow and snappeth the spear in sunder and bui^eth the chariots in the fire. “The power which has confounded our enemies and made them flee as smoke before the wind is that which made John of England quail before his barons, that which laid the foun dation of the American Republic, that which led brave Belgium to contend that she was not a road to France for the iron hoof of the Hun, but a na tion not afraid to block with her life the ruthless purpose of a tyr^t— if it was the principle of justice bom of God and steeping the souls of men.”—Bishop Brent. A Prayer Almighty God, our Heavenly Fath er, guard us from our danger in the hour of victory, the danger of accord ing physical force and military might a position in our own nation from which we have dethroned it in our foes. And help us, 0 our God, help us mightily, to realize and affirm in heart and life; that Thou art the real Vic tor, and that the power which has confounded our enemies and made them flee is that which made John of England quail before his barons, that which laid the foundations of Amer ican Republic, that which led brave Belgium to block with her life the ruthless purpose of a tyittnt—the principle of justice bom of Thee and steeping the souls of men. In Christ’s name we ask it. Amen. C. D. C.

Probably the greatest thrill of thf picture is in the scenes where out troops are seen going “over the top” and into the wheatflelQs at 4:35 o'clock on that famous July 18, 191S. There is a dim, misty light, that gives these BcenM a peculiar intensity. Other scenes of desperate fighting show an American battery under heavy flw from enemy guns in the Argonne.

The object, of this course, now being tried' out m New. York City, is to place domestic service on the same dignified ba^is as clerlnl woilc, trained nursing or otiier profesirions opcn to women. The home as^tant will work eight hours a day fw a salary of-jPA a we^k. I^e wilt not live in the home of hei* employer or. take her meals there. %e will have an hour forloncheour when itfie can' go to a restaurant "or eat a lunch which sho hhs brought with her just as she would were she employed in a fSct<^. l%e employer will not* addresi t^ home worker by her first name. She will be Miss Smith or Mrs. Brown, as the cdse may be. Applicants for the course are care fully selected, and registrants are ap- pearii^ In large numbers. With the same indepehdence as to recreation hours, places of eating and living as the factory girl, house-work has a greater appeal, as being a less monoto nous and more Interesting work to the average woman. The coursers a thorough one In plain cooking,, waiting on table and door, chamber work, plain sewing, care of children, making of menus and the washing and ironing of light things. Heavy work is to be done by outside workers. On graduation the student receives a certificate which proves her qualificgtion as a dependable home worker-capable of attending to all ordi nary duties in a home. The Toung tTomen’s Christian Asso ciation has been interested in the prob lem of domestic service both from the standpoint of the employee and from that of the employer for some years. The first commission on Household Employment made its report at the fiftli national convention of the Toung Women’s CThristian Association held in Los Angeles, Cal., in May, 1915. The difficulties of attracting capable womeii in this field of work were laid to the long hours, lack of Independence in arranging recreation hours, lack of opportunities for growth and progress and lack of social standing. Girls have acquired a distaste for the conditions which govern household work since the frctedom they have ex perienced in working In munition fac tories. By standardizing domestic serv ice it is believed by the Toung Wo men’s Christian Association that a higher type of worker may be at tracted to the necessary werk in Hbmes. The American T. W, C. A. has open ed a Hostess House in Germany, which will serve as a residence house and social center for American women war workers who have advanced to do can teen, Red Cross and Signal Corps work with the Army of Occupation. 0a#d in ^eser0>od‘ to iiM ^ ieeura tiiit "payii^vitVof a note tiieroln mentioiiiiid^ 'jtad described (wUch Deed-in TiM is registered in the offlea of Rei^ster of Deeds ol Transylfluiia County in Book No. 12, on page 861), to #hSdi reference is herel^.maie, and» ' Wher^, default has been made in the payment of said note and the b^^'of said note has directed the undersigned Trustee to sell the lands describe in said Deed in Tr^ to satUdfy ^e said debt as jitovided in si^ Deed in Trust; therefore under the power in said Deep of Trust.
