Mrs. Dr. Littie, who has spent
the Summer fat (her. home in

. Mr. A.' E. South, of the Watau
ga County Bank force, and bro
ther .Mr. Luther South, of Vi
las R. F. D., have returned from
a visit to a sister, Mrs. Brannock
of Hickory who has been serious
ly ill for some day si They bring
the good news that she is now
slightly better, although she is
still a very sick lady. .
One of the prettiest and, to us',
the most telling"thing in tha big
result of the late revival here,
was the union spirit that pre
vailed between the two leading
churches of the town. Although
it was a Methodist meeting, the
Baptist pastor and his working
members, entered into it with
their efforts and their prayers,
to make it the signal success it
was. This is the'only spirit that
will revolutionize the world spir
itually. ..
Mr. M. B. Blackburn left for
Hickory Monday where he will
remain for a Ifew. weeks under
the treatment of his brother,
Dr. T. C. Blackburn, of that
city." His, health has been rather
poor for some time, and it was
deemed best for. him to leave
business cares.behind and go to
the home of his brother. Here's
hoping that the disease, whatev
er it may be, will readily yield to
the treatment of the'skilled phy
sician, and that ere -long, Manley
Blackburn.one'of our most val
ued citizens, may return to his
home and business 'entirely re
stored to his former good health.
THE PRICE OF PEACE
(James Monroe Downum) '
What is tho price of peace,
So sweet bud dour to human hearts?
Is it so cheap that little men
May light esteem,
And cavil Ion; in selfish way
O'er points of carnal greed?
Is this the price of peace?
See yonder field of blood,
Hear the dreadful roar,
Behold the mangled forms, . .
Witness the thousauds crippled ones
Limping'slowly through life's way;
Enter the homes with vacant chairs,
Where son or father used to be,
But come not back again;
Note the. crushed and bleeding hearts,
The sighing breasts an falling tears:
Hear the hunger cry of little ones,
And naught to soothe their woe
These increased ten thousand fold
'Tis th'13! 'tis this! aye fncre . ,
The price, the, price of Peace! . k
