' An interested church worker who
with Mr. Stan berry in his revival
meeting here two years ago remark
ed that while the se vices last week
did not produce the large number
of conversions that featured the
series two years ago, widespread in
terest was shown. Good results are
predicted for a long time to come.

tation of the pastor, - the stewards
knelt at the chancel as an act of
dedication to their work as church
officers. -

token of appreciation a generous
purse was presented to the members
of the evangelistic party. Rev. O.
L. Simpson voiced appreciation and
thanks for the blessing the services
have brought to town.
STANBERRY SAYINCS
"I wish God would pull back the
curtain this morning. What doth it
profit a man if he gain the whole
world arrd Ins? his soul?
"Will a man rob God? You
know that old covetous fellow who
says, 'I want my part and I want
God's part, too.'
"Of course some folks, all they
think about is something to eat.
Some folks, you can't get a penny
out of them- unless its something
pitiful. There's nothing pitiful
about giving to God.
"I'll eat dry bread, I'll go bare
foot, I'll sleep out. 111 drink whiskey
before I'll rob God."
H. GLAZENER BUYS
PUREBRED GURNSEY
F. Henderson, being favorable to
Gurnsey cows, has been longing for
several years for a Gurnsey bull in
the Connestee faction. Not being
in position to keep one himself, he
has had to let his hopes slide by.
When Houston Glazener moved into
the section, he soon found out that
Mr. Glazener was of the same mind,
so they talked it over, and consulted
neighbors, and all seemed to be of
the same mind: T. A. English hav
ing what Mr. Glazener wanted, the
trade was made.
To make things go faster, a son of
each Mr. Henderson and Mr. Glaz
ener, wanted to have a Gurnsey
calf and do club work, so they took
their savings and bought a calf
each from Mr. English. Mr. Hen
derson not to be outdone by the
boys, also buys a springing heifer.
So this giving the section one pure
bred bull, and five high grade fe
males. Others are seriously consid
ering buying a heifer. Dreams do
come true, but not all at once, says
Mr. Henderson.

company with Will Owens, prohibi
tion officer, . discovered and de
stroyed three large copper stills.

POULTRYMEN FORM
I AN ASSOCIATION
By L. A. AMMON
Friday night a group of interested
poultrymen met in the County
Agent's office and discussed poultry
pro and con, and decided that a
County organization would be a
good thing to push the poultry pro
gram of the county. So feeling,
they elected Ralph Osborne presi
dent, C. C. Yongue vice-president,
and L. A. Ammon, secretary.
The crowd being small, a date was
set for another meeting, at which
other details are to be worked out.
The spirit is fine, and a program of
one hundred hens per farm, of good
blood and properly housed and fed,
was outlined.
I The next meeting will be held Fri
day, December 3rd, and everyone
interested in the poultry game, or
interested in the project for the
farmers' help, arc invited to be
present at the court house, at 8 p.m.
Glad to see Connestee section get
ting "Yaller" with good blooded
' Gurnsey cattle. Here is hoping
that we may be able to ship a car
of good cows ' from that section in
the years to come. Takes time but
pays as it goes. Some are talking
of a cream route. Volume is all that
is needed.
1 This is annual report week for
the County Agents. Sorry to find
from figures that we have not done
quite so much as last year. Real
estate seems to be the cause. Spring
work was the short place, with the
Fall work above par. Next year
promises to be the best ever.
A man called at my office to find
out why some one does not grow
some Fall spinach, and the present
price would make it a very profitable
crop. Say an acre. Another wants
tt, know about cauliflower, and
why they do not grow it, as they do
cabbage. Not grown in Western
North Carolina to any extent, and
one has a great territory for mark
eting. Ready to help the ones who
will try.
The County Agents have their
annual meeting in December this
year. While there I expect to get
in direct touch with the soy bean
market, and hope to make up an
order the last of December. The
U. S. crop is about normal, and
North Carolina's about the same as
last year, which ought to give us
beans at a reasonable price.
Mr. Consumer, take my advice
and lay in your stock of cabbage,
potatoes, and other vegetables.
Soon be sold short.
Mr. Z. V. Owen, formerly of Los
Angeles, but now back home at the
Lake, called Saturday and wants
help in getting some pure bred
pigs and milk strain of shorthorns.
Expects to indulge considerable in
the poultry business, eventually
reaching a few thousand hens, and a
few cars of truck each year. Wes
' tern North Carolinas, progress and
advertising brought him back.
Cold Falls usually mean mild
springs, and mild Springs mean dry
Springs, so plow every bit you can
this Winter.

1 3. ..in 1)5:2*
Dr. Van Dyke says, "Please accept

"Thankfulness is the keynote of
the oldest and most national of
American festivals? the only day, 1
tnwk, mat is ? specially set apart
and commended for general observ
ance by proclamation of the Presi
dent of the United States and the
Governors of the several States."
"Why has this feast day, which
was first celebrated by the Pilgrims
in Plymouth at the close of harvest
in liizl, kept its hold on the hearts
of the people, and spread from New
England, westward until its bells
l,:.w ring from the Atlantic to the
PaciiU roast?"
v-.-e i <. i. -on is because most peo
ple enjoy a good feast, and if they
are really honest, tfc?y are willing to
say so.
"Another and deeper reason is in
cause sincere gratitude is on .>?" th
happiest feelings in the world.
"It is most happy when it rises to
God for the daily mercies of life,
and when we share it with our iei
low creatures.
"Let us remember that the Pil
grims invited their Indian friends to
their first Thanksgiving.
"Don't forget to put the emphasis
in the first syllable ? Thanksgiving.
"We plough the fields and scatter
The good seed on the land ,
But it is fed and watered
By God's Almighty Hand.
He sends the snow, in Winter,
The warmtu to swell the grain.
The breezes and the sunshine,
And soft refreshing rain.
,.ii good gifts around us
Are sent from Heaven above,
liit n thank the Lord, Oh thank
the Lord,
For all His Love.
A PRAYER ABOUT
THANKSGIVING
Almighty God, our Heavenly
Father, from whom cometh every
good and perfect gift, we call to
remembrance Thy loving kindness
and Thy tender mercies, which have
been fiver of old, and with grateful
hearts we lift up to Thee the voice
of our thanksgiving, for the life
Thou hast given us, and the world
in which we live.
WE THANK THEE, 0 GOD, F.>r
the order and constancy of nature,
for the beauty and bounty of the
world.
WE THANK THEE, O GOD, For
all the comforts and gladness of
life; for our homes and all our
home blessings; for our friends and
all the pure pleasures of social in
tercourse; for the love, sympathy
and good will of men.
WE THANK THEE, 0 GOD, For
the gift of Thy Son, Jesus Christ,
and all the helps and hopes which
are ours as His disciples, for the
presence and inspiration of Thy
Holy Spirit and for all the ministers
of truth and grace,
WE THANK THEE, O GOD.

til one does attend the convention.
Rev. W. H. Hart.se! I, leading the
singing for the club, kept the
crowd singing every moment Pres
