Itt. 14:27. The most important T in tence. It is I. The I of spirituality. It is the I of deliverance. It is the I who calms our rs. 1. It is the I who cheers us on r way. It is the I of eternal joy.

Gentry spent Easter with ;stcr, Mrs. John Bowen, of Red Mountain, and on his way back home he passed through our community. He looked quite natural. I. L Jones should be excused for running his buggy against a stump a few days ago, breaking out one spoke and crippling the shafts, as he was busily engaged reading, and it might have been a love-letter from his best lark, and that being the case, of course his attention .was completely ab sorbed. On last Friday evening Tony Lunsford, colored, came to the writer to phone to his brother, Hubert Lunsford, notifying him that his grandmother, Eliza Day, was dead and would be buried on the following Saturday. One of our young men con veyed his best girl to church and on returning home with her from church found the house on fire. The brave young man, as quick as a flash, ascended to the top of the house, where the fire was, and extinguised the flames. He was highly commended by the girl's father for his alertness. So, young men, if you want to ingratiate yourselves into the good graces of the old people you must learn to be useful in any emergency and , under any cir cumstances. Roper. P. S.-A staunch friend of The Recorder told me that he very much enjoyed my sermon out lines'. lOTitaut.il. I The many friends of Mrs. F. M. Tilley will be pained to learn of her sickness. Mrs. Margaret Evans wife of Mr. Ben Evans died very sud denly at her home Monday April 8. We extend to the grief strick en family our deepest sympathy. Mrs. Ed Gates who has been very sick is much better. Once more the death Angel has visited the little village of Rougemontand claimed for its own the spirit of Mrs. Lula Bowl ing, wife of Mr. James Bowling. For sometime she had been In serious condition, and death was not a surprise to those who had been watching by her bedside. She leaves a husband and several children, and many other rela tlves to mourn her death. Miss Maggie Laws has return ed to her home after a two weeks stay with Miss Florence Bailey, of West Durham, she reports having a good time. M. T. L. Durham Route. 6. W. H.

Buster. in some ways. Mr. S-. can hitch Teb to the buggy and leave home going in any direction but "some how or other" he invaria bly stops at a large house in a northwestern direction from home, his master gets out and goes in. Teb grazes about the house or stands in the best place in the barn until he thinks, it is time to go home which is usually about eleven o'clock at night, he comes up to the froni door and "neighs" just as soft and low, so that he will not disturb the ones that are sleeping. His mas ter bid3 the dear 'one farewell pats Teb and says, "you are a good fellow." He gets in the bug gy and he horse brings him home the darkest night that ever came in a sweet revery. We thank Mrs. S. D. Smith living near Marleys Mills, for the nice Easter party given in honor of her sister Miss Ila Johnson, and Stella. We also enjoyed our visit very much, especially with my parents. President Johnson, of the M. P. church, preached at the M. E. church in this place last night. Stella. From Slier City. When the days are so cold, dark and dreary as they are now, it makes us feel so sad and lone ly, but the clouds are like pur lives, "just after the darkest cloud3 comes the brightest sunshine." Perhaps few of U3 have ever seen so beautiful a March as the one just passed. Last week the birds sang, the whippoorwills hollowed, and the frogs came out wearing their spring suits. Some of the farmers became excited because they thought spring was ahead of time. They even thought it was getting too late to plant corn but when the frogs went back in their winter suits, they thought it was only a dream about winter passing. In the ball game here Saturday March 30, played between Jones boro and Siler City teams the score was 2 to 4 in favor of Jones boro. Thomas, the eighteen months old son of Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Woody, of Siler City, died Tues day April 2. after an illness of sometime. About a year ago the child had an attack of meas les, which was followed by other troubles and it is thought that death was the result of a com plication. The funeral was con ducted from the Baptist church Wednesday afternoon by Rev. V. D. Reed of the M. P. church. Sclma Edwards while, working with his traction engine last Friday morning sustained a pain ful injury in the breaking of the small bone in one of his ankles. One, of our young men has a horse that is thoroughly trained Brooksdale. Guess people are mistaken about it being spring. It seems more like December. Glad to see Mr. S. G. Hamlin looking so well and able to be out at Brooksdale again. Lester Brooks and Buck Gar rett came home last Friday night and Lester returned Monday. Buck is at home yet, as he is not feeling well.
