Editor’s Note—Mr. Poole was one of the two oldest perosns at the Homecoming at Old Bethesda Presbyterian church on Sunday, September 24, the other being 92- year-old Mrs. Evelyn McNeill Blue, of Carthage. Mr. Poole led the singing and spent the day talk ing old times. His “Medley” this week is a continuation of reminis cences brought to mind by the homecoming. This writer knew a number of Bethesda people before he saw the church, for a number of young men from that congregation at tended Jackson Springs Academy. Father hooked his horses to his wagon, and took my mother and me, and two of Mother’s sisters who had friends in the Bethesda community, and we went down there on Friday of the week of Presbytery. Presbytery had recessed to hear the “trial sermon” of Rev. John M. Rose. Mr. Rose used the fol lowing hymns: “Lord, we come before Thee Now”; “Show Pity Lord, O Lord Forgive”, and “Come Humble In Whose Breast A Thousand Revolve.” I am not positive about this last hymn, but I think I am right. Big Daniel McNeill raised the tunes. John M. Graham was pre sent but he declined to lead that day. McNeill was an equally good leader, but he was not a music teacher. Those tables spread in the grove Sunday were expressive of the character of the people of Beth esda. No people are more liberal nor kind. One characteristic of the Scotch Presbyterian—they love music, and as a rule they can sing well. Sunday was an unusually busy day in church circles in Aberdeen and I wish to. say they are atten tive to guests in their church. Those heavily laden tables groaning beheath their load of the best of foods and the urgent invi tations to have some more bespoke CONGRESS HAS DOUBLED FDIC PROTECTION ON YOUR DEPOSITS- rhis Bank favors any fcrward step which ccniribules to the best interests of depositors. The primary reason that deposits in this bank have always been safe is the management care and ability exercised by the directors and officers. Then in 1933 came a second protective feature—an insurance on deposits, to $5000 for each depositor, by the newly created Federal Deposit Insur ance Corporation. Congress has now doubled this $5000 insvu- ance—to $10,000. THE BANK OF RAEFORD Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation There was a splendid sermon by a son of the church, Mr. Gaston, now of South Carolina. Every phase of the day’s program was worthwhile. John Bruce was our nearest neighbor when I was a boy, and when he was good, he was very good, and jwhen he was bad he was horrid. But Jesse Thomas was our near est neighbor, and he too, was very good till he got mad, and he was worse than Bruce, if such a thing could occur.' ^ ' I used to get mad, but I do be lieve I have learned better sense, but circumstances alter cases. He that ruleth himself is greater than he who taketh a city. The world needs nothing worse than one good language, and Eng lish is better than any we know.

Through my hands come m.any of the local items in your news paper. A paper must of necessity be identified with a town, but what of the outlying trade area? It is here that I appear. I may ‘be a housewife with a nose for news — I send in items about the 4-H club, or what farmer’s daughter has the big gest brood of kittens. Mine are the items, usually cheerful ones, dealing with people you know. Besides, sometimes I cover acci dents in my area, returns in elec tions for my community. I may be a high school student learning the newspaper busness from experience, with an eye to making t my career whn I’m old enough. Mine are the items the editor says are often the first stories the readers look for. Mine is, in large measure, a real public ser vice. Almost never is my name on a full-time payroil, and often I send in my pieces expecting no pay at all. Generally I am the neighbor ly one in a community, the house wife who arrives to help in times of distress — the man who oper ates a country store and is a per sonal friend to each of his cus tomers. Mine- is a leisurely part of the publishing business, but nonetheless important to the read ers. Like the grandmother of a family who keeps up with the comings and goings of all, like the friendly puppy -vvho knows everyone in a community, I keep an interested eye on news items.

Tar Heel farmers should make every c:fort -to put n'aximu v quality potatoes . on the m.,arkct this season, believes Henry ?.I. Covington, horticultural special ist for the State College Extensio’.i Service. Careful: harvesting, handlir.c. grading, curing, and storing wfll pay good dividends for all grow- , ers, says Covington. He adds that low grades and c-uits shonid be kept at home for cattle and hog feed or soli for de.-; tration pur poses.

They have recently spe.it nearly a thousand dollars on re pairs and painting, and cleaning up. Some distinguished citizens now sleeps their final sleep in the cemetery there. I was acquainted with many of those people buried there have never knowm better folks anywhere. The first American newspaper. Publick OccLirances, was started with the intent of “curing, or at least charming, of that spirit of lying which prevails —” in Mas sachusetts colony. It was suppres sed after the first issue. 0 The editor of an early Boston newspaper organized public meet ings and demonstrations in favor of forming a United States with a Constitution.
