BUSINESS COURSE FREE IN THE FAIR FIELD HIGH SCHOOL The Commercial department of the Fairfield High School has enrolled a large class in short hand, bookkeeping and stenographic course. The school opened with sufficient number of high school pupils to make it an accredited high school. Those taking high school work and the com mercial course are expected to complete the commercial course in two years; those giving entire time to business course, in one year. New pupils may enter any time. New pupils are entering each week. Out-of-town pupils can find boarding places here. Miss Emily English, the teacher of this course, is a graduate of Bowling Green Business University, Bowling Green, Ky. She comes to us an experienced teacher well qualified to teach this course. Pupils may complete their high school course and take this business course at the same time and be ready to take a position on completing high school course. The course, if taken in the Fairfield school, will mean a saving of from $200 to $300 or more as compared with the same grade of instruction elsewhere. This course is being taken by the most pro gressive class of people. For further information write Prof. J. W. Heath, Fairfield, N. C. -o “I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord.” Ps. 22:1. “Whosoever thou art that entereth this church, remember that it is Gods’ house; be reverent; be silent; be thoughtful; and leave it not without one prayer to God for thyself, for him who ministers and for those who worship here.” We invite you to come and worship with us. “Come thou with us; we will do thee good.” Ps. 84. BIRTHDAY OF MBS. KIT SPENCER It was the pleasure of the editor and writer while in Engelhard during the revival meetings, to share in the birthday dinner of Mrs. Kit Spencer, who was 78 years old on September 7. We wish for her many more happy years. She expressed her deep interest and love for her children and grand-children. She expressed her deep anxiety in seeing them all Christians and living for the Lord. -o BEY. JOSIAH ELLIOTT As we go to press, news comes of the severe illness of our dear beloved Rev. Josiah Elliott. We hope he will soon recover his strength again. Brother Elliott is a pioneer servant of God’s. A man who has lived very close to God. The writer visited him August 20th. He sent his greetings to his friends in Hyde. -o “He who has 1,000 friends has none to spare; he who has one enemy meets him every where.” ALWAYS BE CAREFUL Customers go where they are invited and stay where they are well treated. -o Lake Landing Township Sunday School Association met at the Methodist Church at 2:30 on September 9th for a lengthy, interesting pro gram. It was well attended and enjoyed by all present. The next meeting will be held at the Middletown Disciple Church on the second Sun day in December. -o We welcome into our fellowship Miss Mary Shaw, who visited with the Fairfield Baptist Church, September 9th, and was baptized at close of service. -o DEATHS Mr. Ben Midyette of Sladesville died August 15th at the ripe old age of 84 years, 10 months and seven days. Our sympathy is extended to loved ones who gave him up. -o Once a city man out of work had hired out to a farmer. At four o’clock in the morning he was called to breakfast. A few minutes later the old farmer was astonished to see the man walking off down the road. “Say! Come back and cat breakfast ’fore you go to work!” he yelled. “I ain’t goin’ to work,” the man called back. “I’m goin’ to find a place where I can stay all night.”—Everybody’s Magazine. A MODERN STILL A big modern distillery was found in Surry County the other day. The trouble with such a distillery is that the liquor is modern, too. Too modern. It’s worthless. The old-time, well made liquor was bad enough, but it wasn’t as bad as this modern stuff. The modern stuff is hot, too hot. It is rotten, too rotten. It is made of corn and adulterated with concentrated lye, soda, soap, chewing to bacco and some other substances; people who have found stills say things that are not men tioned in polite society. It is made fast—it kills fast. It is made cheaply—it sells high. It is made under cover—and puts many a man under cover, under the daisies, with a nice tombstone over him. It is made in the dark of the moon—and sold in the dark, by people who prefer darkness to light. It is made for a big profit—and causes big loss. It beads when the bottle is shaken—and the fool who drinks it has his brains, stomach and whole body shaken by it. It couldn’t win a prize at a pure food show, but it takes the prize as the right arm of the Devil. A man gets liquored up, and then he gets down, in finances, self-respect, character, repu tation, everything worth while. Men laugh when they drink it, but it is the laughter of unsuspecting fools, little knowing that they are drinking poison.
