We as Baptists i have better than nine hundred chu- dren depending upon us for support and they are Just as mucn our re SDonsibllity as any other Baptist in North Carolina. Thanksgiving time is coming and we should have something to be thankful for. Jesus said. "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven". In no other way can we have the spirit of Christ than to contribute liberally as a thank offering to these needy chil dren. God has made promises of protection to the Orphan. Friends who will stick closer than a brother, friends who come in the hour of eed and become vehicles of mercy. Who lare these friends that stick closer than a brotherT Who are these ve f hides of mercy. Friends, let's ex I amine ourselves and see if God can use us. Onr Master said. "It is more bless. ed to give than to receive." We as Baptists are asked to make an offer ing on the basis of our earning ca pacity for a single day, more if we will, less if we can do no better. There is no better way to visit the fatherless in their affliction than to respond in the right spirit and real ize a continual thanksgiving in our souls which will enablt us to scatter sunshine along the pathway of others on the journey toward the "setting sun". Make the offering through your church, and mail it direct to the Thomasville Orphanage, Thomas ville, N. C, or mail it to the writer and he will see that you get a receipt for same the Orphanage. J.

SAMS, Township Chairman PAPER LATE ONCE filORE . For quite awhile, this paper Has been coming oat oa time, bat da to aa aaBsaal amount of reading matter Mitt la this week, we are compelled to Ie om more. In this paper there is running a legal notice of property being sold for taxes in the name of H. E. Rob erts of Madison County. These are the initials of Druggist Hubert E. Roberts of Marshall, but it is desired to let it be known that he is not the man advertised. The man in the legal notice is Harry E. Roberts of No. 9 Township. NO TAX ON News has been received in Marsh all of the death in Chattanooga, Tenn,. of Captain A. J. Gahagan, a native of Madison County. Captain Gahagan, who had made his home in Chattanooga for the past 68 years, had come to foe one of the leading citizens of that city. He died there Sunday, it was learned here, at the age of 85 years. Captain Gahagan was born in Mad ison county, North Carolina, Feb. 23, 1844. His father, George Washing ton Gahagan, was a native of Edge field district, South Carolina, and was born June 5, 1802. His mother's maiden name was Mary West, and she was born in Buncombe county, North Carolina, in 1821. The son received his education in the common and private schools of his birthplace, and later at Bascom college, Leicaster, N. C. In 1861 he left this institution to take up arms with the Union army. With several companions, Capt. Ga hagan made his way to the Union forces in Kentucky, and on Jan. 20, 1862, enlisted as a private. He was rapidly promoted, being elected to the position of third sergeant, and then to the respective ranks of first .' Cant Gahagan was active in the work of the Firsts Methodist church for more than a generation. He .wag prominent in Masonic bodies of the1 city, being past master oi his lodge, past high priest of his chapter and past captain-general of his com- mahdery. He was past commander or, me lookoui post jno. z, ixrana Army of the Republic, and past state eoihmander of that organization. He was also junior vice-commander of the Ohio commandery of the Loyal Legion. r ; On his last birthday, Feb. 23, 1929, he was honored by friends with a magnificent testimonial banquet at the; Signal Mountain hotel, attended byJhjs farm friend, Adolph S. Ochs, of New York, and by a large number oft the most prominent men and women of this section. Messages of congratulations and of esteem pour ed nt othe banquet .from Gov .Henry j Horton, from dignitaries, friends' and admirers from far and near. 1871 Capt. Gahagan was. mar to Miss Eliza J. Dugger, who June 19, 1905. Of their four ren, a son, Jesse D. Gahagan, a daughter, Mrs. J. L. Rogers, of Chattanooga, survive. In he was married to Elizabeth or at 19 North Liberty St., Asheville, observes Nov. 15 as her Birthday. This young lady is a most accomplish ed musician. We have entered her name in our Birthday Club because we hope she will visit Marshall in the near future and entertain our folks with her musical and other talents. Miss Agnes is a Kentuckian by birth but we believe she is just as devoted to our N. C. highlands as to the Blue Grass hills of her native state. The News-Record hereby serves notice on this young lady that she will receive formal invitation within a short time to come to Marshall as soon as possible and perform upon the piano before the students and faculty of Marshall School!

The warehouse men of Tennessee wish this corrected. There will be no such tax and we wonder why such a report should have been circulated. DONT GLUT THE MARKET In Graeneville this week appre hension was expressed that when the tobacco market opens Dec. 3, 1929, the farmers will rush all their tobac co to market at once, thus overcrowd ing the warehouses and glutting the market. Every farmer may think that he stands a better chance to get the best price if he is there early. If they all think that way about it, you can easily see how they will be mis taken. There ought to be some way to regulate ' these matters, but as there is not, why not every farmer earrv a email cart of his crop at first and distribute his sales tnrougnout. the season? ;. ..'

Mr. Floyd A. Dodson, one of Mar shall's leading Main Street merch ants, was also born on Nov. 21. Mr. Dodson is an excellent judge of things that are good to eat.

Ball, home on Hunter Creek in No. 1 Township, attained her fiftieth birthday today and the anniversary was observed at a dinner given in her honor by her family. Mr. and Mrs. Ball were married on Aug. 8, 1895, he being then 20 and she 16 years of age. They have five daugh ters and four sons, all of whom are registered in our Club. If the writer may be permitted to attempt to be humorous, "we would say that the registration of the Ball family looks rather like a Ball Team I One of the boys, Clarence, resides in Oakland, California. A daughter, Mrs. Nannie Hunter, lives in Asheville. Claude Ball, the youngest son, will be ten years of age on Nov. 'i'i, the day after his mother's birthday. On be half of . the many friends of this family and as assurance of our best wishes for Mrs. Ball we extend con gratulations to Mrs. Ball and All! changes with time, especially toward a Lady Tax Collector! Beyond all question, she has as many friends as any other lady in Western N. C. We would state that she has even more, but we might be called upon to prove it, and that would involve a vote taking! The News-Record can not afford to stir up envy among its sub scribers! Mrs. White gave up official work and entered business, as Secre tary of Monarch Mfg. Co., Marshall. She is a Baptist and a Mason of some sort. We have not met in Madison County a man or woman who sur passes this lady in devotion to her home town and county. We believe she is really sure that Madison Coun ty is the best place on earth to live! It will be still better, in our opinion, when we have more folks who are equal to Mrs. White in patriotism!

This young lady is Dean of Girls and Head of English Dept. at Buncombe County Junior College. She has friends in Marshall who are subscribers to our paper; this is one reason for ad mitting her to the Birthday Club. Another is that she can well afford the subscription cost of the News Record and we believe she is so wise thathis hint will be sufficient with out further mention from us! We trust it will not be long until we can announce that Miss Virginia has been visiting friends in our town! TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26 This is the Birthday of two absen tees, -Wade H.

This kid has three brothers. He may never have a sister but the probabil ity is that he will have some sisters-in-law. However, Richard is so young that he need not trouble his mind now about what it may cost him when the other boys get married!
