Last Sunday wbs Presbyterian day and Brother Tufts, who nev er misses his appointment was on hand and preached two excellent sermons, the morning discourse a thoughtful one on the text, "They were first called Christians at Antioch," the one at night as forceful on the text, "Wherewith al shall a young man cleanse his way," etc., suili i discourses bound to do good, as large and deeply interested congregations heard them. On Thanksgiving day, Parson Savage held services in the mor ing, the offering given to the or phanage at Banner Elk at night a praise service was held in the Reading Room, and enjoyed by many. Mr. and Mrs. Washburn and the Misses Washburn, of Char lotte, spent Thanksgiving with us, and, at dinner, at the ever popular Watauga Inn, beside the family, were the Washburns, Mr. and Mrs. J. Frank Bobbins and Master Joe Robins, Mr, and Mrs. Marshal Pendley and their four children, Doctors Brooks and Mordicai; Mrs. Bessie Patterson and Mr. . Trowbridge the table fairly groaning under the weight of a fine and well-served dinner, such as the cook at the inn knows how to prepare. On the night before Thanks giving, the jolly Band boys gave an oyster supper to a few invited guests, your correspondent not among the elect and so cannot describe the affair, the first of tne kind this season. In fact, the Par eon gets very tew invitations out, as, these days, parsons are sup. posed to cast a damper upon the joy, the good cheer and the 'flow ing' spirits of the company the parson's place It seems, in their pulpits or on their knees prepar ing ammunition to fire at the 'revelers' who 'dodge' on the Sun day following, and don'tget hit' after all! On Thanksgiving night a pleas ant party motored to Linvilld where they attended a dance giv en by the Camp Fire Girls of that city in Avery the visitors from Blowing Rock the following: Mr. and Mrs. Marshal Foster, Mr. and Mrs. Henry E.Coffey, Misses Mary Ward, Emma Foster and Exie M in ton and Messrs. John son and Nathan Ward. Mrs. Norvell and daughter, Miss Ethel have closed their home at Fernwood and are to spend the winter in Charleston, S...C, Mrs. Norvell's home city. A delightful party was g i v e n last week by the Misses Winkler, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Winklerat their home on Coffey street. Last Monday night several of our citizens met in Parson's study in the loft of the Memorial Work Shop and talked over plans for a seres of entertain ments during the winter, a mass meeting of citizens called for Fri day night Dec. 7, in the Reading Room to discuss the matter and arouse an interest on the part of citizens who app'rove of the plan but are waiting for some one to take the lead. Miss. Lena Reeves has organiz ed a sewing clasc for little girls who meet each Saturday after noon to practice the art of nedle work. Mr. J. D. Teague, our faithful wagoner to and f rm Lenoir and unon whom most of us depend for hauling our freight from the railroad, has not sufficiently re covered from his hospital treat meat to take up his old trade of hauling yet, but his son Claude, a promising young man, is faith fullv conducting his father's bus him nrnklncr the return iuviw w a - - - trip twice in any and all kinds of weatner ana coaaiuon oi roams. Bfath tf a Uttlt On Friday morning, Nov. 27, at 9 o'clock, the Death Angel came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Phillips and claimed their little son, Clark McBride. The little fellow suffered for five days previous to his death with pneumonia. All was done that loving hands could do to sa ve the little one, but the Heav enly Father called him to come home. He was born May 10, 1913, and had lived only two and one half years. Apout 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoon his little body was laid to rest in the family burying ground. While we cannot see why the treasure was taken from, these fond parents, let us remem ber that the soul of little Clark is with Him who gave it, and that He loves more perfectly than it is possible for us to do. With your hearts torn and bleeding look up to uod wno is able to heal the wounds he has made. A Friend. Colds Need Attention.

(Continued next week.) Danger Signal. If the fire bell should ring would vou run and stop it or go and hlp to put out the fire. It i? much the name tray with acougb A cough is a danger signal as much as a fire bell. You should no more try to suppresH it than tontoptbe fire bull when it is ringing, but should cure the di sease that causes the coughing This ran nearly always be done by taking Chamberlain Cough Remedy. Many baye used it with the most beneficial result. It is especially valuable for tbepersis tent cough that so often follows a bad cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs. 'Thomas Benching, Andrews, Iud., writes: "During the winter my husband takes cold easily and coughs and coughs. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy i the best medicine for breaking up these attacks and jou cannot get him to take any other." Obtainable everywhere. W. R. Gragg, G. P. Hagaraan, TEE DIVJOXS IEXL Lexington Dispatch. With the assembling of t h e sixty-fourth Congress today the eyes and ears of all good citizens are attention, facing Washing ton. The worldHBtirring events of the past year and a half have convinced the President and his advisors that our nation faces the absolute necessity of proper ly arming itself to defend the rights our fathers won, and the principles of human freedom and unrrestricted activity that our nation rests upon. Time and time again this na tion has been plaaced in veryem barrassing positions because of certain attitndes it has been forced to assume. Fortune has been with the men at the throt tle in Washington and we have been able to to pull through with out a scrap. But suppose we had been call ed upon to fight, or that we may be so called upon. Such a thing is not out of the question. Every one remembers how perilously near to war we were with Ger many not six months ago, even with that nation in a death strug gle against armed millions. We have absolutely no assurance of peace. Even proper conduct to ward all people does not give us any guaranty whatever. Less than six months ago the remark was upon millions of tongues, "what could we do if we were forced to war?" That question is one of supreme moment at this very honr. There are things that would force an honorable nation to fight beside the defense of his home. The lat ter reason is the narrower one There are principles old as the would, broader than all the seas that we may be called upon to detend when there is no one else to lift a hand in their behalf. We cannot do it now. Compromise with honor does not appeal to the Yankee makeup, but how ea sily we would be forced into that position, with our presentpaltry army and insufficient navy. The line is drawn, and every person will naturally take one side or the other. No one is sur prised now at Bryan for his stand and few who really under stand rhe lay of the land are sur- pnsed at Claude Kitchin. Does anyone who has watched the de liberate care with which Wood row Wilson has guided the desti nies of this nation suppose for a moment that he has gone off half-cocked? Does anybody be lieve he is so totally ignorant of the state of the nation's arms of defense as to recommend some thing that we do not need at all and which will cost much money? How many believe that he is the kind of man that would be so ea sily blinded, befoozeled byjthe men of much money ascertain spell-binders would have you be lieve? There are two sides in this, but there is no middle ground. You must either sid with the president and the men who have studied the question at issue and arrived at their conclusionswith all deliberation and earnestness, or you must side with those who shoot into the air popguns and cry, "Behold, how strong we are and how much afraid everybody is of us." Cough Mediciue for Children. Mrs. Hugh Cook. Scotf sville, N. Y say: About 5 years ago when we were living in Garbutt, N. Y.
