A PARTY AT KENNETH RIVES’.
Contributed.
Christmas has passed, the New
Year day is forever gone; but the
happy impression made on our mind
at the party at the home of Mr. Ken
neth Rives will remain when the
buildings around there have long since
become a ruined mass.
We believe that fifty years from
now, many happy couples will sit
around their fireside and talk of that
party, as the night when the first
'impression was made, or the tiny
spark began to burn, that afterwards
caused them to launch out _on the
surging sea-billows of married life.
One reason the party was so great
might be that twice it was planned,
and the weather would not permit so
the last time everybody seemed to
try to make up for the two disap
pointments.
The first of the guest to arrive was
Miss Virginia Burns and her broth

night,” the door opened and the crowd
flocked in.

Moncure, Jan. 22.—We are glad to
; have Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Self back
| at school after being out a week with
! the flu. All the flu patients around
Moncure are improving, we are glad
• to report. - /
j The mid term examinations are on
j at the Moncure school this week,
j Mr. C. C. Thomas, our popular and
| accommodating station agent, has
; been away from his post of duty a
few days on account of illness.
Moncure has one patriotic citizen,
who deserves special mention. Mr.
Waverly Lassiter. Besides chipping in
liberally for every cause, for the ben
efit of the school, he also gives freely
of his time. He assisted the prncipal,
Mr. H. G. Self, in the erection of
swings and see-saws" and otherwise
arranging a play ground for the chil
dren. Last Saturday the writer found
him busily arranging and fastening
down the desks. He also prepared a
nice lot of wood for the school. We
regret to state that he is unmarried,
but this fact further proves his un
selfishness. He is a faithful and ef
ficient registrar and poll-holder for
the township and a democrat.
Mr. Lassiter took a piece of hickory
wood, placed it in Deep river above
Lockville; near the old Reeves dam
and left it there for seventeen years,
and a few months and days, and it
is now one of the finest of whet
stones. The rapidity and keenness
with which this stone can put an edge
on a razor is /narvebjus. No thought
of selling this stone entered Mr. Las
siter’s mind, but he distributed it
among his friends. Mr. Lassiter is a
son if Dr. P. D. Lasster, a valued and
retired physician, who practiced his
profession during the war between the

VOLUME XLV, NO. 25.
DEATH OF T. A BEAL THURSDAY
, Other Items of Local Interest From
Bear Creek Section.
Bear Creek, Jan. 22. —Miss Corne
lia Rose Moore, of Raeford, was a
visitor in the home of T. B. Beal
last week.
The flu on route two has subsided
to some extent, we are glad to say.
J. J. Fields’ people have the flu.
I. P. Coggins .has been on the sick
list for two weeeks, but is improving
very rapidly.
Thomas Aaron Beal, son of the late
John W., and Louisa W. Beal died
at his home on Bear Creek, Rt. 2,
Thursday afternoon, Jan. 18th, after
an illness of about one year. Mr. Beal
was born May 6, 1869, therefore he
was 53 years, 8 months and 12 days
old. He had been in failing health for
over a year, though at first he was
not thought to have an incurable dis
ease. On April 11th, he was canned
co Central Carolina Hospital at San
iord. On the following Saturday morn
ing he was to have been operated on
but his chart for the night preceding
flowed that he had been carrying
** e temperature, and at the suggestion
of the hospital surgeon, he was car
ried to Charlotte for further examin
ation, going there the same afternoon.
After spending a few days at Char
lotte, he returned to Sanford and was
operated upon about the last of April.
The operation revealed the sad fact
that he had cancer of the stomach.
After recovering sufficiently from the
operation; he returned home. For a
while he did not sink so-rapidly. Dur
ing his sufferings he bore them with
out a murmur. He joined Sandy
Branch Baptist church in young man
hood and remained a faithful mem
oer ever after.
He has gone, we believe, to that
home far beyond the starry sky, to
occupy that mansion that Jesus said
ae was going to prepare for all who
loved Him. /
To that city where there is no night,
- sorrow, pain and death;
To the home where no farewells are
■ spoken, where there is no parting;
Where ail is beauty and bliss.
He now walks the streets of gold,
Os his joy, the half cannot be told.
Our loss is his gain; earth is poor
TV9SS' Cle on earth and one more in
Heaven. May we all so live that when
we shall have finished our work be
low that we can say as Jesus said
in “I have finished the
work Thou gavest me to do,” and hear
the response, saying, “Well done, v
thou good and faithful servant, enter
thou into the joys of thy Lord.”
B eal is survived by one brother,
W. A. Beal, of Mineola* Texas, three
sisters, Mrs. Susan E. Phillips, of
Norfolk, Va., Mrs. Mary L. Dowdy,
°f Duke, and Miss Isabelle Frances,
who lived at the old home with Mr.
Beal.
The funeral services were held Sat
urday at Meronies M. E. church, be
ing conducted by Rev. H. Salyer, of
Holly Springs, and Rev. E. C. Sell,
of Goldston.
Those attending the funeral from a
distance were Messrs G. B. Hart, G.
F. Hart, Wiley Hart and Claudis Hart,
of Burlington; J. H. Moser, of Gra
ham; Mrs. R. H. Fields and Mrs. Her
bert Fields, of West Durham; W. Jar
