PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY ft STUART 0. BONDURANT, Managing Editor. g if ___■ ■ ■ . ' • ‘' ^ . RATES: f t Twelve Months__$1.50 i j {Three Months ____—— .50 ; Single Copy__——-_____ .05 - Entered as second-class matter, Nov. 4, 1921 at I ' the Post Office at Spray, North Carolina, under the fr Act of March 3,1879. $%• it H H* I; -v* I fr “The Marshall Field & Company Idea” To do the right thing, at the right time, in the right way; to do some things better than they were ever done before; to eliminate errors; to know both sides of the question; to be courteous; to be an ex ample; to work for love of the work; to anticipate requirements; to develop resources; to master cir cumstances ; to act from reason rather than rule; to be satisfied with nothing short of perfection. KNOWLEDGE i. Knowledge is the subject of a third series of “Field Quality” lards sent out by the Marshall Field & Company. | “It is unusual for a merchant, wholesaler or manufacturer to have I special knowledge of more than his own branch of the dry goods business. "However, in the ease of Marshall Field and Company, it is different, I Long experience, careful study and abundant capital have enabled this t'" company to acquire special knowledge in all three branches. I f “The merchant who uses Marshall Field and Company as a base of supply thereby obtains the free benefit of this acquired knowledge.” t !> This third of a series of statements issued by Marshall Field And Company pays to you, operatives of The Carolina Cotton i 'jand Woolen Mills Company, a compliment greater than which j. 'you should not wish. When claim is made of a special know ledge in all three branches, and manufacturing is enumerated I AS one of these branches, Marshall Field and Company is : claiming that you, of the manufacturing branch have a special knowledge in that branch, and that the merchant who uses Marshall Field and Company as a base of supply, obtains a benefit because of your knowledge. You are to be congratulated because of the truth of this |itatement, and should accept it as an honor, remembering, j -however, that with this honor there goes the parallel re sponsibility of ever ‘ keeping yourself keenly informed, not ;anly relative to those things about which there is a general iknowledge at present, but also, and more especially, concern ing those things which may be acquired as the future develop ment of the dry goods industry offers an ever broadening field 'Which, if sown with seed of diligent effort, will surely bear | *kn abundant harvest of acquired knowledge. ;|i And then, as now, may the merchant who uses Marshall field and Company as the base of supply, say, so far as your branch is concerned, “I luv the rooster for the kro that is in him and the spurs that ar on him ta bak up the kro with”, and the honor shall redown always to you. r. NEXT WEEK’S POSTER AND OUR INTERPRETATION p. In 1807 Robert Fulton, an engineer, operated the first steam boat up the Hudson River. We believe that no more vivid representation of progress can be had than the picture which contrasts his “Claremont” with the modern steamer. On our ■poster this week we see a magnificent steamer whose huge ffhull, stretching nearly the entire length of the poster and taller p than the poster is high, is a striking contrast to the relatively insignificant “Claremont”, the entire space covered by which j pis about one one-hundredth that covered by the larger ship, j On the hull is written these Words, “Some workmen know it ifean be done, before they even try to do it. Others oppose all |jBuggestions. They are against all improvements. Such men are not popular here.” Above this and across the top of the ifposter in yellow lettering upon a dai’k background, we read, tit Can Be Done”, and across the bottom, “We Believe In ‘rogress”. So clear-cut and definite is the message this poster brings jthat we believe everyone who sees it will interpret it the same the right way. “Some workmen”, it says, “know it can be „done—Others oppose all suggestions—all improvements, jpuch men are not popular here.” Such men, we believe, would •:jbe pulling the boats along the river banks with horses and awaiting the coming of an easterly wind to take their trip upon the high seas, they would be riding in eighteenth century ; (carriages on which coachmen sit dangerously high above the pinimproved roads over which they drive, they would be wear ling clothing spun at' home by candle light, had it not been for 1 those who believed in progress and believed “It Can Be Done”. The point for us all to remember is this: Even those who So sot believe in progress today would not be satisfied with con | ditions as they were one hundred years ago. It appears ridi | culous to suggest that if the attitude of all people living then I had been the same as theirs now is, conditions would be the | same today. Yet would it not" be a safe assertion that said f ninety-nine percent of those who would not change for the better the conditions under which they are bom today, would not have changed them a century ago? It is a matter of relativity. It ia easy to see. and society forces one to approve, the progress of one hundred years that have passed. It extremely difficult to appreciate the little y little progress that takes place before us, the progress which at the century’s end, makes the difference. This progress is aggravated by a willingness to make out with that which is, because of a lack of comprehension of the final meaning of such progress. *. It is the little and the big, but mostly the little, improvements f that our fathers accepted that make this a better place for us i‘ to live in. Maybe you won’t get the full benefit of the progress you institute, but your children or somebody else’* will. . LEAKSVILLE, N. C. Little Ruth Irvin, daughter of Mr and Mrs. H. B.

I AM YOUR TOWN Make me what you will—I shall re flect you as clearly as a mirror throws back a candle beam. • If I am pleasing to the eye of the stranger within my gates; if I am such a sight as, having seen me, he will remember me all his days as a thing of beauty, the credit is yours. Ambition and opportunity call some of my sons and daughters to high tasks and mighty privileges, to my greater honor and to my good repute in far places, but it is not chiefly these who are my strength. My strength is in those who remain, who are content with what I can ! offer them, and with what they can ; offer me. It was the greatest of all j Romans who said: “Better be first in ' a little Iberian village than be second in Rome.” ' I I am more than wood and brick and stone, more even than flesh and ; blood—I am the composite soul of j all who call me Home. I am your town.—Selected. UNAPPRECIATIVE The cashier of a bank called one of their depositors, a Hebrew, on the telephone and informed him that his account was overdrawn to the extent of seventeen dollars and forty cents. “Is that so?” inquired the deposit or. “Say, listen, Mister, would you look and see how much money of mine was in your bank one month ago today?” After a brief examination of the books, the cashier reported: “One month ago today, Mr. Einstein, you had a credit of two hundred and twenty dollars.” “So-o-o-ol” said Mr. Einstein, i “Veil, did I call you up about it?” t Dil Grogan says that girls who 'talk the best are soonest wed., i .. '• '"-•-I"' * v " ,, > y V •:-1 ' KNOW NORTH CAROLINA , The Country Church There is nothing that stunts and blights the growth and life of an agricultural community as a neglect ed country church. There are few men with families who would buy a farm in a community where they ex pect to live and be deprived of the blessings that go out from a living church. The people who live in a community without these advantages are depriving themselves of these im portant blessings which they can never afford to lose. E^en out side of the 'personal religious need of a good active country church, the material help the church gives ,to every community is tremendous. It is obvious that the value of every home is greatly increased in the j moral tone of the community. So | held the country church. Keep the doors open the full year. If neces sary, call on your city friends to help you. The country church helps the cities. Statistics show that three-fourths of our ministers and leading church members, the large majority of our doctors, lawyers, professors and leading business men are country-bred. The country is a great reservoir from which the cities are constantly drawing their bright est minds with religious training of the old-fashioned kind—Presbyter- i ian of the South.

C. “I would suffer, when 1 stood on my feet, with bearing-down pains in my sides and the lower part cf my body. I did not rest well and didn’t want anything to eat. My color was bad ana 1 felt miserable. A friend of mine fold me of The Woman’s Tonic and 1 then remembered my mother used to take it.. . After the first bottle I was better. I began to fleshen up and I re gained my strength and good, healthy color. 1 am feeling fine. 1 took twelve bottles (of Cardui) and haven’t had a bit of trouble since.” Thousands of other women have had similar experiences in the use of Cardui, which has brought relief where other medicines had failed. If you suffer from female ail ments, take Cardui. It to a woman's medicine. It may bt just what you need. At your druggist’s or dealer’s.
