Some men never develop a con

You can't make a man mend
his ways by knocking him. Re

Another trouble about political

more he wants.
Everybody connected with the

Some good men have gone

The nations should disarm, of

There will always be something

The law against carrying pistols

It is a fine thing to have faith

leaeM
Mrs. Pattie Didens, of Ring
wood, was horribly burned last
Saturday night and died the next
morning. She was before the fire
trying to quiet a restless child, tell
asleep, caught on fire, ran out
doors and was burned io death.
She plead with her last breath for
her five children to be cared for
and died with a mother's love to
ward them; and when the death
damp was gathering upon her brow
and her eyes becoming dim and she
could hear the breaking of the
waves upon the other shore she
whispcreu "let me cook something
for my hungry children," and
died.
A OKEAT LOSS BY PIRE.
On Friday morning of last week
Mr. W. H. Carroll, who lives about
three miles from town sustained a
great loss by fire. He had the
misfortune to lose his entire crop
of cotton consisting ot eight bales,
all his corn and fodder, besides
three hordes and one inu.e. I he
origin ot tiic fire is unknown. It
is Indeed a sad case, to stand by
powerless and see the efforts of a
whole year go up in smoke. If
this tire shuuld have happened in
India or some other foreign coun
try there would doubtless Oe a pub
lic collection taken for me unfor
tunates; but it happens right aiour
door and all you near tnc people
say: "I'm very sorry it happen
ed." "I'm Sony for Mr. Carroll."
Well, we'll ot one of one hundred
to give Mr. Carroll $5.00 towards
helping him on his feet again. It
is all right to feel sorry lor a man's
tnislortune, but how mucii are you
sorry, that is the important ques
tion. We once read of an accident that
happened in a distant city. A man
driving a team, the horses ran
away, throwing the man oui, break
ing his leg and otherwise injuring
him. A large crowd gathered a
round and expressed great sorrow
for him as he was the only support
of a wife and several small chil
dren. A rough-looking, hard
working man walked up and said:
"Gentlemen, I'm sorry for him
$5.00 worth," and a great sum ol
money was soon raised. Don't all
speak at once, but speak.
REV. L. D. HAVMAN.
It is indeed gratifying to his
many friends in Weldon to know
that Rev. L. D. Hayman has been
returned to this charge for another
year. He has made a fine record
during his two year's stay in our
midst and has made many warm
friends both for himself and his
excellent wife. He is one of the
coming young preachers of the
North Carolina Conference and
by reason of his able discourses
the regular attendance upon divine
worship at his church has grcauy
increased.
ENTERTAINED
Sumptuous Dinner Olven to Boy's
Club By Their Leader
The Boy's Club of South Wei
don was entertained in a very sump
tuous manner by their leader, Dr.
W. G. Suiter, on Thanksgiving
Day evening. The young people
met at the Chapel, where the Pas

At the close of this service, the

gave them some lessons in drills
both the boys and the girls taking
part, After a short time, Dr. Suiter
arrived, and the party went into
the Chapel and were served a
Thanksgiving supper of turkey
and all that goes to make the meal
complete. It was a great delight
to see the young folks enjoying a
supper after this fashion. During
the preparation of the feast, the
pastor led the merry-makers in
some songs, until Dr. Sutter was
ready to introduce them to the
spread. After all had enjoyed the
privileges of the hour, the party
broke up and departed full-up with
good eats, and a heart full of en
joyment of the occasion, But they
were not unmindful of some of
their little friends who could not
be with them; so a basket was pre
pared and taken to this home by
two of the members of the Club.

trict: And Whereas, During these
four most unsettled and event
ful years his administration has at
all times been mosi judicious and
effective, marking great progress
in the growth and development of
the church and all its interests in
this District:
And Wheheas, During their
residence in Weldon, Mrs. E. M.
Snipes has been a most active and
faithful member of our local church
continuously engaged in its organ
izations, especially our Sunday
school and woman's work:
Be it therefore resolved, by the
Fourth Quarterly Conference of
Weldon M. E. Church in session
duly assembled:
1st. That we feel and deeply ap
preciate the most valauble work
which Rev. E. M. Snipes has ren
dered this District and our local

Sunday School, Mission and oth
er interests and enterprises of our
church.
2nd. That during these years
we have the goodly influences and
inspiration through associations
and work with these Christian peo

and shall greatly miss them as citi
izens of our town and their con
nections with our church.

copied upon the minutes of this
Conference, a copy furnished Rev.

By the Conference.
November 13, 1921.
VERY MUCH NEEDED.
What this town needs more than
any one thing is a live, energetic,
board of trade. Men who will be
on the alert looking to the best in
terest of the town. We need a
large conon factory that will em
ploy at least a thousand operatives,
that will be on the market to buy and
consume a great portion of the cot
ton raised in Halifax and adjoining
counties. We should induce cot
ton buyers to locate here during
the cotton season. Our attention
was called last week to a case that
should not have happened. A
man brought his cotton to town to
sell, and as our only cotton buyer
happened to be out of town, the
party ud to haul his cotton back
home, as there was no one here to
buy. If the cotton is sold in Wel
don, the chances are, some of the
money will be left here.
MEETINQ CALLED.
On Thursday, December 1st
there will be a call meeting of the
Baptist Woman's Missionary So
iceties of Halifax county for the
purpose of organizing a County
Woman's Missionary Union. The
meeting will be held in the Weldon
Baptist church beginning promptly
at 2 o'clock. Mrs. L. T. Vaughan,
of Nashville, our Associational Su
perintendent, will be with us It
is earnestly desired and requested
that as many of our ladies attend
as possible.

A SLICK ONE.
Twenty-Four of Our Citizens On
the "Watch."
On last Thursday night an auto
mobile arrived in town with two
men and one woman. One of the
men, after a great crowd had gath
ered around, delivered quite a lec
ture on physical culture. He broke
chains around his body by great
lung expansion. He also bent nails
and broke horseshoes with his
hands. After all this performance,
he introduced his partner, who
said he was here merely to adver
tise jewelry for Burk Brothers, of
New York, and he proposed to
give away dead loads of jewelry
merely to advertise his goods. He
then threw out into the crowd a
handfull of finger rings; and such
a scuffle for rings, the foot ball
match at Chapel Hill was nothing.
The next thing he proposed to give
away was some stick pins. But be
fore doing so, he required each
one he gave them to, to pass up
50 cents as a guarantee that he
would wear the pin, and then he
gave each one his money back.
The next, and last proposition,
was to give away 24 fine watches.
By this time the crowd became in
tensely interested. But before
giving the watches out, he required
each one to deposit with him $5.
Hands went up in every direction.
After receiving about $120, he
asked the crowd if they were satis
fied with the purchase. All yelled
yes, of course, expecting to get
the money back. About that time
the machine pulled out leaving 24
of the sickest men imaginable.
He said he would return the next
night and again Saturday night,
but as yet, he has not returned.
A SUCCESS.
The perlormers and directors of
the entertainment of Nov. 21, may
rightly claim to have crowned
their efforts with success. The
program moved off smoothly from
start to finish. Ihe receipts
amounted to $69.25. The ex
penses were; Tickets, $2.00.
Programs, 2.50.
Former music bill, 4.90.
Total, $9.40.
This leaves $59.85 to apply on
our piano debt.
We are certainly grateful to Miss
Sanders and her ninth grade class
for their part of the program in
helping us out on the piano fund.
W. B. E.
B. Y. P. U. SOCIAL.
On last Friday evening the Se
nior B. Y. P. U. held one of its
most enjoyable socials at the hos
pitable home of Mr. and Mrs. N.

CHEATING THE NEWSPAPER.
The man who cheats the newspa
per
Out of a single cent,
Will never reach the heavenly
land,
Where old Elijah went.
He'll never gain admittance there,
But by demons driven,
And made to loaf his time about
Outside the gates of Heaven.
He'll never meet a pleasant face,
Or see one festive grin;
His only chance of happiness
Will be almighty thin.
CIRCLE "A."
The dinner given by Circle "A' '
si week was a very successful
affair in every way. The ladies
served delicious eatables, consis
ting of turkey, barbecue, chicken
salad, ice cream and cake and many
other good things to tempt the ap
petite of all. The amount realized
we learn, was $150.00.
We are requested by the mana
gers to return many thanks to the
Bounds Motor Company for the
use of the building.
THE NEW PRESIDINQ ELDER.
Rev. S. E. Mercer succeeds Rev.
E. M. Snipes as Presiding Elder
of this district. Mr. Mercer is no
stranger to our people, having
served here as pastor three years,
and greatly endeared himself to all
the people. He is a scholarly man

siding Elder. We gladly welcome
him as a citizen of our town.

OLD APPLE JACK.
Caught With The floods.
On last week a man by the name
of Ingram and Louis W. Rook, of
Gaston township, Northampton
county, were arrested and brought
before U. 3. Commissioner, A. B.
Stainback, on a charge of having
been caught with six gallons and a
half of old apple brandy. They
were captured by prohibition offi
cers J. E. Wood and W. J. Man
ning. The Commissioner heard
the case and the men were bound
under a bond of $400.00 each
for their appearance at the next
term of the Federal court which
convenes in Wilson some time in
April.
The goods were brought to Wel
don on an automobile, and while
standing on the street the fumes
could easily be detected several
blocks away. It brought back days
that are gone, as several old fellows
stood quietly by witn great big tears
in their eyes as if weeping for a
long lost friend. They doubtless
lived over the past during the lime
the old brandy remained in town.

blood would be white. When over
work, or straining, or illness weak
ens the blood, it diminishes the
number of red cells. Without a
sufficient number of red cells the
blood becomes watery, the body
weak. Vigor and strength fall off,
so that physical life diminishes like
a fading plant. The physical pleas
ures of eating and sleeping and
exercise lose all attraction. There
is no zest in living.
After Gude's Pepto-Mangan has
been taken for a while the blood
becomes rich with red cells. They
help to nourish the entire system.
With good blood at work there is
a great difference in living. Eat
ing, sleeping, and exercise are en
joyed. All druggists sell Gude's

CALOMEL GOOD BUT
AWFUL TREACHEROUS
. .j
Next Dose May Salivate,
Shock Liver or Attack
Your Bones.
You know what calomel is. It's
mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is
dangerous. It crashes into sour
bile like dynamite, cramping and
sickening you. Calomel attacks
the bones and should never be put
into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy,
constipated and all knocked out,
just go to your druggist and get a
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for
a few cents which is a harmless
vegetable substitute for dangerous
calomel. Take a spoonful and if
it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quick
er than nasty calomel and without
making you sick, you just go back
and get your money.
Don't take calomel! It makes
you sick the next day: it loses you
a day's work. Dodson's Liver
Tone straightens you right up and
you feel great. No salts necessa
ry. Give it to the children because
it is perfectly harmless and can not
salivate.
