And the boys Were criti cised by the same censor f p i their boisterous ball game on Sunday afternoons to the hor ror of the christians of the town, and the boys did not like it, ei ther, when Parson told the world through the medium of youi good little paper, Mr. Editor, that they had put obstructions on the si le walk one dark night and persecuted the "small boy,' t bus fast ''developing into toughf and roughs"; but Parson has authorized correspondent to pay that he takes back what he said about side-walk obstructions at- it happened, but once, but take nothing else back, until the big boys cease to tease the little a'nci weaker boys, for such they do. making' life a sorrow for the small boy, when it ought to be o real joy. The Sowanjrataka Club of Camp Fire Girls were delight fully entertained last Friday night by Miss Maude Peoples at her home near town, and alter the busi ness session of the Club the girlf were most charmingly enter tained by Mrs. Peoples and her daughters, the happy company eating apples and making candy, singing aud making merry until a late hour, those returning to town up the steep climb through the woods singing cheery songs,' (correspondent of. the opinion that they sang to keep up their courage.) The members present, the Misses Leua Reeves, Myrtle Sodderth. Mamie Williams and Alma and Elizabeth Greene, as brave a lot of young girl as ev er climbed a lonely mountain1 road on a dark night. Miss Elizabeth Green has been clecte l principal of King's Creek Academy, Miss Maude Peoples will teach the unexpired term at Baily Camp public school.

Edmis eu, Esq., were shocked to learn A his sudden death last Satur day, the interment on Sunday at Hickory. Mr. Edmisten was a well-known citizen of our town, serving as postmaster for sever al years, but has resided in Hick ory for two years where .the Ed raistens made many friends, lea ving many here. .

On Saturday morning last our capital City of Raleigh was visited by a most disastrous tire, the property loss aggregating more than $200,000. For the second time in the l ist two and a half years, the plant of North Caroli na's great daily, the News and Observer, Jwas reduced to ashes, , nothing at all of value being saved, this loss alone amounting to $100,000. This is a very dis tinct loss, not only to the stock holders but to the State at large, as the paper was always in the fore-front with the news; was al ways fvund standing four square on each and every measure look ing to the moral and social up lift of the State. Here's hoping that it may, ere long, arise again Phoenix like from the ashes, and continue its valuable services for the cause of right for many years to come. Larkin Green Passes Hw?y. Larkin Green of New River lied at his home on the morning of the 2nd after a bWef illness of n few days. He. was born Nov. I, 1830, was buried Nov. JJ.1915 Brother Green joined the Baptist ehureh at the age of 23 and liv ed a faithful and consecrated life throughout. He was made a d'neon of the Laurel Springs church and discharged bis dntv faithfully. He was a kind and considerate father a dutiful hus baud and stood for the'right at all times and under oil circum stances. He leaves a wife and 8 children who sorely miss him and grieve his untimely departure. VVe symphathize deeply with the sorrowful relatives and Iriends and commend them to God whose love is unbounded and who never loaves his ch ildren comfortless. L. A. GREEN E. - From Mabel School. On the evening of Nov. 5, the school at Mabel, which is under the efficient care of Mr. P. C Younce, with 22 years experi ence behind him, aud James M. Burkett, assistant, had a very interesting educational meeting with a large crowd present. 1. Songs by the school compo sing a class of 75 children, which was highly entertaining and I venture the assertion that it could not be surpassed by any school class in the county. 2. A very practical talk by our energetic County Superintendent. He spoke" on Corn Clubd and Clo ver Clubs, and other matters of interest. The people are greatly stirred over the club work, and already 20 girls have joined the poultry club, and there will be others, with several boys joining the County and State Clubs, and some the Clover Club. We ful y believe we have the best school in the county. ' S. lone 8 beautifu home at Flat fop, this the flrst summer in years that Mrs. Cone has not spent the whole season with us, having been most of the time this year with heraged and inva lid mother in Baltimore.

Dr. Oscar Moore, experienced dental Surgeon of Liioir, gav his valued services to our town last week, but will not return un til next summer.
