PROSPECTS
;now and Sleet Kept Tender Fruit
Buds From Appearing.
The recent snow, sleet and
ram in Chatham county have
been odious to many sunshine
loving citizens, but the frigid el
ements have been probably bless
ings in disguise.
Without the sleet tender buds
of fruit trees would unquestion
ably have burse forth and no soon
er out than slaughtered. But
everthing seems safe now for a
bumper fruit crop this year in the
county.
The wheat and oats crops are
in fine condition. The so-called
t rrible weather has been ideal
for the grain.
Pea and onion crops stand fine
eh mces of becoming very valua
ble to the armers.
T.1 is winter has been an unus
all wet one, and it is well. Last
summer's dry spell left the sub
soil dry and the welU and springs
short of water. These have now
been replenished with the nec
cessary amount of water.
So, all in all, the ctod situation
in Cnatham looks very encourag
ing indeed.
Income Tax Facts.
Farmers, rangers, herders,
dairymen, truck gardners, vine
yard and orchard owners, and
other food producers must com
pute their net and gross incomes
for 1921 and ascertain whether
an income tax return, or a tax,
or both are due. All gains, prof
its, and income derived from the
sale or exchange of farm pro
duets, whether produced on the
farm or purchased and resold,
must be included in gross income
When a farmer exchanges his
products for groceries, clothing,
or other merchandise, the fair
market value of such goods must
be included. Profit received from
the sale of farm land, or rent re
ceived for the use thereof, must
be included.
In determining income, upon
which the tax is assessed, the
farmer may deduct from gross
income all necessary expenses
incurred in the operation of his
farm during the year 1921. These
include cost of cultivation, har
vesting, and marketing Of hi?
crops, cost of feed and fertilizer
used.
About Dogs.
The crowded condition of the
paper prevents publishing a let
ter this week about dogs running
at large. Look for it next week
and in the meantime keeps your
dogs confined, especially at night.

MEETING CLOSED
. t
Rev. Wil iam Black Finishes Up a
Remarkable Week
Sunday night closed the series
of meetings which were held by
the Presbyterians hereunder the
able preaching of R&r William
Black, of Charlotte, te Presby
terian evangelist. Notwithstand
ing the inclemency of the past
week large crowds were in at
tendance at each service, in fact,
the meetings finally had to be
conducted in the court house to
accommodate the growing con
gregations. All the denominations of the
town took an active part in the
services and did everything they
could to make the meetings a
success.
During the services especially
the latter part of theiweek, Mr.
Black invited the colored people
of the town to attend the meet
ings and seats were specially re
served for them. At each night's
set vice Mr. Black invited them
to sing, which they cheerfully
did. And such singing!
There is no comparison between
the whites and blaef s when it
gfts down to vocal music White
people sing by note?; and books
and are educated, out there was a
great difference in the new songs
white people sang $nd the oid
songs colored peopie aang,such as
I hare Is a Fountain j lied with
Blood," and other oltjttime relig
ious hymns.
These colored peepfc seemed to
put their whole sou&and hearts
into the songs. Tifey are not
educated like the whites and nei
thpr did they sing by note, out
their deep mellow voices carried
the old people who were ir the
audiences back to thir childhood
days, when they listened to the
old darkeys sing irt their meet
ings. And today tharold colored
people have not forgotten their
old songs "Jesus, fover of Mv
Soul," "Rock of Ages, "and oth
ers, that when sung by the un
lettered old-time darkey touched
the hearts of many in the audi
ence. Saturday night there was an
old colored man among them,
faway past 70' yraiyMT'age, who
can neither read nor write, sat
there on his seat, his head thrown
back, a happy smile on his face,
and he was keeping time with
the rest, repeating word for word
or the song as the mallow notes
floated over the large courtroom.
And that old darkey was surely
happy.
There were 21 professions, 10
joined the Presbyterian church
and 3 by letter, the balance join
ed the other churches here. The
collections in ail amounted to
over $200. Mr. Burr, the choir
leader, received $52 and $134 was
raised for the synod home mis
sions. Mr. Black is paid a regu
lar salary.
Antioch
Rev. Sion M. Lynam preached a most
excellent sermon at his regular appoint
ment at Antioch last Sunday.
Miss Mattie Eva Dorsette has re
turned home after spending a few days
at Cumnock with her aunt, Mrs. D. A.
Rieves,
Her many friends will regret to learn
of the illness of Mrs. Frances Oldham.
Mrs. J. D. Dowdy, Mr. and Mrs. C.
T. Heartt and baby were dinner guests

Resolutions
"The silver cord is loosed, the
golden bowl is broken; the dust
has returned to earth as it was,
and the spirit unto God who gave
it."
In view of the recent death
of our coworker, Mary Perry, it
is most fitting that we, as mem
bers of Brown's Chapel church.
should make expression of our
high esteem and regard for her,
and our sense and sorrow and
loss. She was a faithful and
consistent member of this church,
and her life a quiet but powerful
example of ii-dustry and upright
ness. She wielded a strong in
fluence for all that is "true, love
ly and of good report" among
her friend and associates. There
fore, be it
Resolved, that our church has
sustained the loss of a very loyal
and highly esteemed re ember,
who has left a name and memory
fully worthy of our emulation,
and we are glad to have known
her and cabled her friend.
We shall miss her genial smile
and cordial greeting at her home.
The faithful husband of her vouth
and their sons have been bereav
ed of an unusually devoted wife
and mother, who dedicated the
strength and power of her wo
manhood to their care and pro
tection. This church has lost a valuable
and influential member, who was
always greatiy interested in the
upbuilding and development of
her community.
That we w sh to render to her
dear ones our cordial sympathy
in their sorrow and grief, assuring
them of our love and prayers.
And we would earnestly com
mend them to the allwise Hea
venly Father, whom she loved
aud delighted to serve, and who
has graciously promised, "I will
strengthen thee. I will help thee.
I will uphold thee with the right
hand of righteousness."
