Samsbuby.N. C'Jan. 8th, 1908.
There seems to be quite- a pecu
liarly vacillating crew in some of
the head offices of the Southern
Railway hereabouts. We read one
day that trains Nos. 11 and 12
hare been taken off, the next thajb
they have been continued, that
Nos. 21 and 22 are off andT then
on, and so on with other numbers
until the question seems to be in
a muddle. So we guess the gentle
man who said' the trains are due
when you see the smoke ha& gotten
the matter about straight.
Last week we were under the
impression that the ball given by
the "Dragons" was a masked af
fair and that no one knew posi
tively who they were dancing
with, and we expressed our dis
approval of such affairs according
ly. We have since learned that
the dancers were not-masked, that
they were those who usually at
tend:the baUV'and that, allwere
known'to each other, hence'.there
was nothingjimproper or censur
able about the matter more than
usual, and, we regret, for our sake
and those interested, in having
drawn the conclusions we did. The
"Dragons were the folks who
gave the ball, paid the bills, etc.,
and are still unknown publicly
Their purpose-in keeping their
identity hid seems to be merely a
a streak of becoming modesty .As
our last article indicated, we had
no desire to offend any oneand
hope that there has been no offense
taken. Our article was merely to
warn young ladies taking such
chances at a masked ball.

Rev. Geo. H. Cox, D. D. He
preached an excellent sermon.
Rev. C. B. Spracher ofVirginia,
will preach it Christiana next
Sunday afternoon, January 12,
at two o'clock. Sunday school
will be 'at one o'clock. "Rev.

called by the Union-Christiana

Messrs. C. W. Henry and Ar
thur Lyerly of Washington city,

folks.
Geo. Brown is still doing work
with his carqera. Boys, lets stop
some time and take a look at the
curious little thing.
Mere is a little example we
would like for some one to work;
Mr. A had B and C to dig his po
tato crop, for which he was to pay
themtem dollars. Now B. could
dig potatoes as last as u could
pull tops, but C could digpota
toes only half as fast as B could
pull tops, now mucn money
should each receive? Simple, isn't
it? But who can work it?
We would have good reasons
for thanking the Lord, if we could
only induce Bro. Bart and Pat
rons to -keep quiet and let Mr
Ribelin teach the school as his
good judgment tells him it ough
to be taught.
Sunday school was reorganized at
Christiana last Sunday, January
5. , The school has made consider
able advancement during the las
year and it was decided by unam
mous vote to continue Sunday
school the entire year, and not go
into winter quarters as heretofore
ramping unfortunate men, wom
en and" children under their feet
as they azo rushing madly on.
Others surging to- and fro, are
fighting and knocking their,, fel-

ike fleeting shadows 'Efnapeiess
imps leading this squirming" mass
of humanity on to eternity. And
their pathway is strewn with the
ifeless bodies of unfortunate men
who have fallen in that terrible
rush.
Friends, we are in that crowd,
and are we listening to the foul
voioe of some friend to urge us
on? Are . we chasing soap bub-
bles to fortune and fame? If we
are let us resolve ere the new year
season is over, to quit our com
pamons and choose that quieter
crowd that is wending its way to
eternity over quite a different
road.
As we turn our vision about us
we see we are living in the most
advanced age man has ever at
tained. Shall we leave this world

Mrs. J. T, Barringer, who has
been in California one year for her
health, has returned here little

mere has been mucn said con
cerning the present game law in
Rowan county. Some say one
thing about it, and others say
other things, but we are convin
ced that-it is undoubtably the best
game law the farmer can have
rnor to this winter tnere were
people who. made a living by hunt
ing on their neighbors land, bu
the generouB farmers would never
take any legal action in the mat
ter. If he told a neighbor he
could hunt on his land, his word
was as good as his bond. But
rarely ;ever was the transgressor
ordered off his place. If a
man wants vou to hunt on his
lands, he will readily give you
written permission. This law
keeps out these eternal loafers who
hunt day after day, killing birds
and rabbits by the wholesale, and
who the farmers let continue rath
er than, take legal action. Thanks
to our Game Wardens.
We notice the' Southern Bel
Telephone Company is making ex
tensive rural branches of its tele
phones. Ayet, there has been
nothing done in this-part of the
county. There is talk of making
a central at Granite Quarry, and
branching out, and embracing
these parts from there. We ap
prove of the plan, for we realize
with as thickly settled territory
and prosperous farmers as this
territory contains, to be connect
ed by a 'phone system would bring
untold advantages and good re
sults to both company and" pat
rons. And. again, the company
proposes to send the daily weath
er report over all its wires. - This
would-be of great advantage to
eveTy farmer.
We have now reached the lofty
summits of 1907, and are now
looking ahead into the misty
plains of 1908, ;and we see a vision
plainly i outlined on the fogs of
time a - vision which would
be unlawful to repeat. We
see . a motley pell mell crowd
of undisciplined humanity rush
ing madly on down the sands tf

carnage and destruction? Some
are madly chasing soap bubbles,
