What do you look back to as the greatest event in your lifer What is it that you turn to, in tht past, to cheer you when the periods of depression come? Memory is either the greatest blessing or the greatest curse given to man. Memory atones for deleat. li sweetens the bitterness of present failure. It destroys the glamout of ill-gotten wealth or eases the stings of poverty. It illumines, with rosy colors, the drab and dreary now. Or else it broods, like an evil spirit, from which there is no es c.ipe, torturing the mind with thoughts of things that should not have been. What are you doing today that will be pleasant to remember or worth remembering in the days to come? What are you storing in memory that you will later want to forget? The secret of a happy life is to accumulate a storehouse of pre cious, worth-while memories. CONVINCING EVIDENCE. "How do they figure Solomon as the wisest man in the world when he had a thousand wives?" Ex. Ever hear of a man nowadays wise enough to have thousand wives and gel avajr with it?" BY WAY OF WATER. We Are Enterlnc an Era When We Shall Create Resources Which Shall He So Constantly Renewed that the Only Loss Will He Not to Use Them. Henry Ford, who in our opin ion, is one of the greatest men of the century, has the following to say of the great water powers ol this country: "If you can Imagine a world in which i lie source of supply will be so plentiful that people will worry about not using enough of it, in stead of worrying as we do now about using too much, you will have a picture of the world that is soon to be. We have long depend ed on the resources which nature long ago stored up, the resources w hich can be exhausted. We arc entering an era when we we shall create resources wlncu shall be si. constantly renewed that the onl loss will be not to use them, Then will be such a plenteous supply ol heat, light and power, that it will be a sin not to use all we want. This era is coming now. And it is coming by way ot Water." If Mr. Ford could be prevailed upon to stop off at Weldon anu give a short time studying the great possibilities of the Roanoke, wt think he would at once give up buying Muscle Shoals and dircci his great energy in developing t lit great water power of the Roanoke This power is now owned by tin Gould sydicate, and some month: ago, a western periodical container a long, illustrated article on whai this company intended doing at nc distant day. Damming Roantkt river at Thelma and furnishing the power, not only to run all ma chinery, but also heat and light all the cities, towns and country resi dences for hundreds of miles, bui for some reason, nothing, as yet, has been done. We quote a few lines from the late JudgeSimnions' poem, "Farewell to Old Weldon," which in our opinion, tils the case, just at this time: "True you've got a water powei that might half the world suppl) But, 'tis held by fossill fogies whe have hung it up to dry, And if I could possess it free, con ditioned to be used, If I took the owners with, it I should beg to be excused. They have met and remet without doing aught at all, Till I fear they'll keep on meeting till the Devil gets them all." MET IN WILSON. On last Friday afternoon Misses Pearle and Maud Harris, Messrs C. F. Gore, N. J. Shepherd ano C. R. Daniel went down to Wilson to represent the Weldon Union at the Association B. Y. P. U. I he ol net of this meeting was toptrieci the organization wnicn will become a part of the Roanoke Association. Mr. C. R. Daniel was elected secretary and Mr. L.. r. urn vice-president of this district. This was a very inspirational meeting and the young folks set til ed bubbling over with enthusiasm. Mr. Perry Morgan, Field Secie- tary and Miss Farabow. Junioi Leader, were present and both made splendid addresses. Dr. Mercer madeia very earnest appeal to the young people on tith ing. The next meeting of the Asso ciation comes to Weldon Fridaj before the first Sunday in April. DEATH OF MISS BATCHELOR Died at her home in South Wcl don on Friday evening, Januurj 20th, Miss -Rosa Batchelor. Miss Batchelor had suffered vtrj much for a long time with a com plication of diseases which slit bore with great patience and het death was no doubt a most happj release. Sheliad been a member of the M. E, Church lor several years and was a devoted sister and home maker for her two brothers Messrs. Eugene and Thomas, who with many friends are grieved her long suffering and death. She was buried at the family burying ground near Halifax, the funeral services conducted from the honu on Sunday afternoon by her pas tor, Rev. L. D. Hayman. DIED FROM BURNS. Lescd Shearin, son of Mrs. Don nie Shearin, aged 8 months, fell from a rocking chair last Tuesday night into a pan of boiling water and died from the effects of the burns Thursday night. The burial took place Friday afternoon. LEE-JACKSON DAY Celebration A Most Delightful Service Hold at the School Au ditorium. The Junius Daniel Chapter U. D. C. and the Eva Davis Chapter C. of C, united in a very pleasing manner the observance of Lee Jackson day at the graded school on Thursday morning January lilih. Promptly at nine o'clock all the pupils were assembled in the auditorium, the children's chapter marching in a body down the central aisle and given reserved seats at the front. This procession was.led by three little boys Isaac Green Murphrey, Melville Hart Zollicoffer and Thomas Gregory. 'How Firm a Foundation" was sung alter wnicn hrot. tuwaras stated the purpose of the meeting, alluding in eloquent words to the fact that "we sighed in vain forithe touch of a vanished hand" and lis tened for "a voice that was still," but we could look upon the portrait of our gallant Lee and the influ ence of his life will be felt through out the ages. Bernice Dixon read a short sketch of the life and Elizabeth Fuller Green read "the Sword ol Lee." A copy of the book "Wo men of the South in War Times" was then presented to the school by Kaihertne Anthony in memory of her grandfather, Captain Whit- niel Hill Anthony, a gallant Con federate soldier, who won distinc tion in the war between the States and was publicly commended by General Lee himself. We would mention incidentally here (hat a paper "reminiscences of a Confed erate Veteran," written by Capt. Anthony and entered through the Junius Daniel Chapter won first prize at the U. D. C. Convention in October last, at Winston-Salem. Prof. Edwards on behalf of the school, gracefully accepted the book and then Mrs. C. W. Greg ory presented certificates of mem bership to twenty-eight boys and girls of the Eva Davis Chapter. Grainger Pierce and Chas. Vin cent acted as ushers. (June a number of the Junius Daniel Chapter were present and enjoyed the exercises very much. A penny collection was taken among the children for the Maury monument which amounted to $5.58. PIUELIS CLASS REORGANIZED Recently the Fidelis Class of the Weldon Baptist Church reorgan ized for 1922. The following of Hcers were elected; Teacher, Mr. C. F. Gore;Assis taut Teacher, Mrs. J. P.

We hope that every member of the class will make special enY.rt to be present next Sunday morning. Reporter, MAURY MONUMENT. The collection taken at the Cra ded school last week for the Matt ry monument, amounted to $5. 58 To this fund 135 children contrib uted and their names with others will be placed in the corner stont at Richmond, Va.

Others may have givet as much as these but the amoun was not stated wnh their names, This contribution is very much appreciated by those in charge. CLUB OROANIZED.

The following officer: were elected : President Miss Mabel Hux. V.-President Miss Laura Read Sec. and Treas. Miss Mary Shaw. Asst. Secretary Miss Louise Millikin. The first meeting of the club will be held January 31, 1822. MEMORABLE WINTERS re Our Winters Less Severe -Hy J. Than Fllty Years Ago? I). T. An affirmative answer to the ahuve query is undoubtedly correct s to the Eastern portion of North Carolina, at least. No snows of any consequence having fallen since the season of 917 '18, then moving back- word, only ordinary snows, till we reach 1899, when an average f snow of 19 inches blocked traf c for ten or twelve hours. (I was then ticket agent for the Seaboard) nd as the R. P. & C was at that me not open, northern passen gers tor boutnern rines were thrown via Weldon. Well, as it ippened, some fifteen or twenty f these met the worst blizzard that had been encountered in this sec tion since the fearful blizzard of 857. My "pal" and I had a terrible xpenence mat nignt, wnicn t ave not forgotten, and 1 am sure W. S., still remembers, for as he was trying to have the mail transfer effected, walked into a ravine and was hidden from view. He returned to the office very much discomfited, with thoughts of resignation surging throughout his brain. Unless you have been up at three A. M., in a raging snow, storm with out door work to do, nd a waiting room full of passen gers that you have to keep quiet only by making them comfortable, you will then find out whether you ave a job on your hands, and then you will realize, and appre ciate the comfort of a feather bed at home. During that unbearably cold night, you would hear such deris ive remarks from the passengcis, as this is "the Sunny South," and laugh over it as if this kind ol weather was a daily occurrence, when perhaps such a storm hadn't been seen in this section in ten years. Taking all things into considera tion, 1 will stake ourchmate against the extremes either North, or South for comfort the year round. 1 892 gave us quite a spell of six weeks snow on the ground, and 0 inches ice. 1876 six weeks snow, and ice, 838, the same, and 1857 on January 17th, the "big snow" began, lasting forty-five hours, 4 feet deep. It was that winter that we had on the canal here fourteen inch ice. Prior to the last mentioned, my father saw Roanoke river so fro zen at Gaston as to allow the trans portation of wood on sleds, drawn by oxen. THURSDAY AFTERNOON CLUB. The Thursday Afternoon Club was entertained loursuay, Jan. 1 Oth, by Mrs. G. H. Nash at the home of Mrs. T. C. Harrison on Washington avenue. The topic for the afternoon was "Oscar Wilde, a Social Satirist." TheRrst paper, Uscar wnae as a urania2 list," was read by Mrs. R. T. 1.mi iel. The second paper, a discus sion of the play, "Lady Winder mere's Fan," wasjjiven by Mrs. Harry Smith. The hostess was assisted by Mrs. W. L. Scott and Mrs. T. C. Har rison in serving a delicious salad course with coffee and mints. THE WEATHER. In elimaies with cold winters. planTlite will not resume normal growth in the warm weather of spring unless it has been subjected previously to a period of chilling. Tins is according to a recent re port by a government scientist. This siicnists thill cold winters are necessary tor tne neaiin ot people who liv.: in northern Stales. But this is not the case in the south. The chemistry of climate and weather, and their influence on plant and animal life, are mys teries. That is why we talk so much about the weather. BAD COLDS. Leading physician announces that the time will come when peo ple who have colds will feel dis graced. And it hasn t been so very long since, people regarded the possesion of a cold as a certain sort of distinction. The physician quoted says colds result from lack of exercise, neglect of the stomach and intestines, bad air and, partic ularly, loss of sleep. PERSONALS And Other lletis Told Form. In Drift Wear a smile and plenty of clothes. Hard work and hard luck rarely run together. People these days seem to grow old childishly. Some people haven't yet learned to write 1922, It will soon be time for the hens to go to laying again. Mrs. F. J. Bounds is visiting relatives in Cedartown, Ga. A good many men claim to bathe every day, and some of them do. We never know how small some men are until they get into the limelight. , Some of these people who think they are reformers are just com mon scolds. Lots of people have had to travel a rough road in order to get on Easy Street. The main objection to pessimists is that they are seldom willing to take anything for it. Too many young men seem to think a sitting down job will im prove their standing. When a man says he has a per fect right to do a thing, he means that he knows he shouldn't doit. There are some men who read the society pages of the newspa pers but they try to keep it a secret. Miss Mary Winborne, of Como, who spent last week with Mrs. J. P. Holoman and other friends, left this week for Henderson. Chickens used to come homfc to roost, according to an old adage, but now, sometimes, they barely get home in time for breakfast. We don'i know why it is, but an auloist who iries to beat a train to a crossing is usually given about as big a funeral as if he were a good citizen.
