Willt-ts, Jan. 2. William Cochran,
who lives near the boundary line of
Jackson and Swain counties, recently
celebrated his one hundred and fourth
birthday. Although he has more than
passed the century mark, Mr. Cochran
does not show his age In any way.
He has always lived in the neighbor
hood where he now resides and says
that it Is the garden spot of the earth.
A friend, who saw him several days
ago, met him while the aged man was
on his way to church, to attend a pro
tracted meeting. The friend, who Is
a tattle dealer, was having difficulty
in keeping warm, for the weather was
very cold. The "young" old man was
walking along with as much spirit as
a youth and did not seem to mind the
extreme weather in any particular.
"Yes, this weather is somewhat
cold." the old man said to his friend,
"but I have seen right smarter colder
days than these when I was a boy. I
van remember when we had to walk
to Wall Halla for our supplies, but
that 13 really nothing unusual, for
many a man younger than I am walk
ed there for rations when he was a
boy. 1 have sent my sons to market
with a lot of things to be sold for
clothing and material to make clothes
out of." Home made clothing is re
membered by many a younger man
but the parly days In which home
made clothing was used exclusively is
distinctly remembered by Mr. Cochran.

the object balls move only three or
four inches. They must seal rely movt

A good appetite Is the best sauce.
It goes a long way toward helping In

Many persons have found that
Grape-Nut food la not only nourish

children like the taste of It and grow
strong and rosy from Its use.
It In especially the food to make a
weak stomach strong and create an
appetite for dinner.
"I am 67 years old," writes a Tenn.

"When I hove no appetite for
breakfast and Just eat to koep up my

Grape-NuU with food rich milk, and
when dinner comes I am hungry.
While If I go without any breakfast

Grape-Nuts for breakfast seems to

Congregation Deeply Affected
When He Preached His
Farewell Sermon.
Correspondence of The Gazette-News.
Bylva, Jan. J6. Rev. Walter B.
Creaseman preached his farewell ser
mon as pastor of the Bylva Baptist
church to a congregation that almost
packed the qhurch. The congrega
tion were visibly affected by the min
ister's farewell words, for the mem
bers had learned to love their pastor
and are sorry to have him leave Byl
va. Mr. Creasman Is a member of
the Masonic, Odd Fellows and Knights
of Pythias lodges, and large numbers
of these fraternities attended the fare
well service. Mr. Creaseman left yes
terday to Join his family In Ashevllle,
and after a rest there for the benefit
of his health he will take up church
work in Madison county.
As The Gazette-News told several
days ago, Mr. Creaseman has been
tmetor of the Bylva Baptist church
for two years. The congregation has
irrown during his ministry, not on!"
In numbers but In influence In the
community. A new church building
has been erected and this is now free
of debt with the exception of about
600. tl. Is expected that this sum
will be raised during the next few
months and the building dedicated to
the service of the Almighty early In
the summer. . '
Who Mr. Creasemnn'i successor Will
be Is not known. The officers 0f the
church have several ministers under
consideration, but as one of them said
yesterday, they will not be In any hur
ry to call a pastor
(Written for The Gazette-News by
('. W. HUNT.)
Sometimes a mnn gets an idea, in
his head and talks and thinks about
It till he thinks the whole world ought
to see it as he does. This may be for
the want of appreciation for the meri
torious, but if he is not a fool, the
trouble more often comes from the
want of time for the people to think.
The public has been busy with other
matters, while the enthusiast has had
time to burn and given the same
hance to think a great change in
sentiment would take place in the
general public's way of thinking and
doing.
The writer hopes he is not out of
the safe hounds when he says that
for a long time be has seen the need
of helping bad and poorly raised, and
unfortunate, and (sometimes) de
praved young people to better things.
Such a sensiment has crept Into what
has eminated from this pen occasion
ally; and this line of thought, this
feeling for the boys was given a new
impetus not long ago, A'hen on invi
tation of the chairman of the board
of trustee? Mr. James P. Conk, the
writer, took a trip to the Stonewall
Jackson Training and Industrial
school (reformatory) near Concord,
into which a number of tender-hearted
men and women of the state have
put sufficient money to enable a big
bodied .big hearted, big minded man
like Walter Thompson to make a be
ginning and fully demonstrate that
almost every boy that is bad can be
made a man if given the chance. The
demonstration being all the stronger
on account of the shortness of the
time and the small things at hand to
work with. I saw 50 boys of varying
ages, every one of whom are on honor
and doing well In all lines, working
largely on the military idea. I with
many others was delighted with what
we saw. If you, kind reader, whoever
you may be. doubt the advisability of
the state going into partnerhlp with
good men and women in the business
of saving boys, or If you are interest
ed In helping the helpless who are
exposed to all that Is bad, and would
like to know some more. Just throw
down the work for a day and go up
to Concord and drive out to the Stone
wall Jackson school. Your eyes will
do the rest. You will need no
teacher.
It was fitting, of course, that the
Jackson Training school should he lo
cated In easy reach of the man who
made It possible (Mr. J. P. Cook),
but aside from that the location Is
not bad. It is "all to the good." On
the main line of the Southern rail
way, where the observing passenger
can Bee It, yet too far away for the
noise of the trains to detract. Along
the elevation upon which Is located
the school runs a line of projecting
rocks, huge boulders cropping out
for miles, and especially prominent at
this highest point, the site of the
school. The rock" Is of a peculiar
formation, looking more like con
crete when broken up than like stone,
making a fine ballast and road bultd
fld, and if posseeslng strength suffi
cient will be valuable In building the
foundatlona of the other houses that
are to go up In the years along that
ridge. Aside from the usefulness of
these stones there Is something sug
gestive about these giant rocks crop
ping out everywhere at a place where
tho sole work Is to make stronger the
character of those who come or ore
sent hither (or help.
The place was surveyed and the Io
cation of alt the system of cottages
made before the two that now show
so well were built Bo while these
two and the Industrial ' building are
the only ones of the doien or more
to come, yet they are In their proper
placer and parts, of the system. From
this elevation one can look to the
west and' to the northwest away to
the Iredell line and beyond,' tip the
valley of Rocky river for miles, the
view being unobstructed and v from
this open, country wni always come a
breeze laden with life-giving sub
stance. Looking out upon this scene
one has only to lower the. line ot
vision to see the landscape of the
school's iarm. . Standing in front ol
tho buildings one sees little of the
farm lands which lie under the hill
to the back of the buildings; but there
is an abundance of nice level land
which can be made one of the pret
tiest and moat productive farms in
the state, as well as the most valuable
asset ot tho Stonewall Jackson school.
It only wants a farmer of intelligence
In the art oi farming to make It a
beauty to behold. . Already there is a
herd of cattle there to make milk and
butter for the boys, to utilize the .by
products of the place and make fer
tility for the sotl,' now needing so
much of such and other humus to
make it bring forth. With the love
I have for such work I can see in this
farm more than any other agency can
bring to the school. All boys cannot
farm, hence the need of the printing
office, the wood shop, machine shop
and perhaps the commercial course in
the school room; but In that farm,
with a man 'vho loves and knows the
work and who has a deep and abiding
love in his heart for the boys, at the
head of the department, 1 can see
visions of transformation in charac
ter and the coming out from thence
to bless the earth, young men that are
close to nature.
One reason so many hoys go wrong
in the cities and towns is because
they see too much, of the artificial as
against the natural. The boy on tne
farm, with proper surroundings, and
who mingles with the plants and the
flowers and see the innocence of
birds and animals, learns to love and
associates with such, seldom goes to
the bad; and I see visions of new
awakenings In life and eharncter of
these wayward ones, as they become a
part of the school and farm for mak
ing men, as they get into the workings
and learn that by tilling the soil, with
Intelligence, it yields man a fortune
as well as freedom from the annoy
ance of crowded conditions, and
makes him a better man at heart than
he could possibly be anywhere else on
the earth. Most of those who will go
to the Stonewall Jackson school will
come from the towns and cities where
they know nothing, in a manner of
the natural, and, to my mind, I can
conceive of nothing that will so trans
form the evil tendency of such as to
put him down where there are cows
and pigs, and horses, anil sheep, and
chickens, and goats on a finely kept
farm, where the boy can inmmtine
with nature at Its best; while being
taught the duties of life and educated
industry and the net ded funda
mentals to build upon.
