Fourteenth Anniversary of Grahcm
Friends Church
October 31st was the l-itu anni
versary of the organization of the
Friends church in GraLara. If wo
mistake rot, it was the late Rev.
David Sampson who was instru- (
mental in the founding of the church
and served as its pastor for a num
ber of years. Though handicapped
by blindness ho was a persistent and
cheerful worker and it was through
his personal efforts that a greater
part of the means was secured for
erecting the house of worship.
On next Sunday the anniversary
event will be celebrated by tbe con
gregation in the form of a rally,
when it is expected to have a large
attendance. Rev. John M Permar,
who has served the church for sev
eral years, is tho popular pastor at
this,time.
At the Sunday services Rev. Lew
is McFarland of High Point will
preach at 11 a. in. and 7 p. m., and
the choir will render special music.

Farmers arc Ordering Explosives for
Blasting.
Many farmers aro taking ad
vantage of the recent olTer of the
Unted States Government Soda
tol, an explosive usi d for blast
ing, is being offered for $7 80 per
100 pounds. This is about one
third c.ieaper than dynamite
Sodatol weighs about seveji
ounces and is equal in strength to
a cartridge of dynamite. It can
be used in any open ;«r blastiiiL'
for stuisfSs, rocks, etc It does
not cause Headaches or other ill
effects. *
Caps for each cartridge will bo
sent for the price of the freight
from Norfolk. Va. The freight
on the dynamite will be about
$1 40 per hundred pounds.
Farmers cannot afford to do
ftiuch grubbing v ! icn powerful
explosives can be had so cheaply.
Practically a ton has already b en
ordered, but before forwarding
this it is necessary to make an
order l'or eight tons to get a car
load If you need this material
place this order with the County
Agent, W. Kerr Scott.
