BMverCreek
annual Wal8li-McQ«e re-
wag held at Bearer Creek-
church last Sunday, be
ginning at ten a. m. and lasting
‘iuntll late In the afternoon. The
event this year was probably the
best attended and moat perfect in
.^hedttle and performance of any
reunion yet held by these two no
table clans.
The meeting was called to or
der by the co-presidents, Rev. A.
fl» McGees and Bx-
family. Mr. master did the active
presiding and he opened the occa
sion with devotional exercises.
Appropriate songs were sung by
the congregation which were fol
lowed hy several ouartets with
chosen selections. The Rationed
Quartet, led by Miss Nora McGee,
of the Kings Creek section; The
PIney Grove Quartet, of Happy
Valley; the Stnlth Quartet, of Le
noir; The Walsh Quartet, of
Beater Creek, and some string
music by the famous Dock Walsh
band of Mount Pleasant section.
Selections by these musicians
were interwoven with the other
members on the program through
out, the day. A printed program
was distributed among the guests
and visitors and with a few ex
ceptions each speaker on the pro
gram responded when his name
was called.
After the minutes of last year’s
reunion were read and approved a
very appropriate talk was made
by Rev. John Crapfield, of Win
ston-Salem, followed by an old
timer of our community, Hamp
Jones of Ronda, who gave some
well chosen remarks on clan his
tory and his boyhood days spent
in this section.
Next was the principal address
of the day by the Hon. V. D. Guire
of Lenoir, who has been very
generous for a number of years
to appear on the program of this
reunion. Mr. Guire delivered a
very inspiring address on “Sacri
fice” and applied his message to
the .great sacrifice that our sol
diers are making in the war. The
large audience gave rapt atten
tion to the speaker who seemed
to be at his best on this occasion.
The address was followed by a

“I am now able to be on the go
every day, ai'd R^nga deserves
full credit”, happily declares Mrs.
R. A. Morris, -well-known resident
of Route 7, Bo.x 36, Atlanta, Ga.,
in a grateftil public endorsement
of this noted medicine.
' “I simply suffered tortures
from acid indigestion", continued
Mrs. Morris. “Sometimes I even
■v^eaded to eat anything at all. I
• Idora felt hungry, my nei-ve.s
d^’len felt like they would go to
pieces, and I slept so poorly that
I woke up many mornings feeling
wretched. I had to use pow-erful
laxatives for years. I felt so -weak
and nervous that at times I
could hardly put one foot before
the other, as the saying is.
“But thanks to the grand relief
Rttonga brought me I feel like a
di.fferent person now. I sleep
splendidly and wake up feeling re
freshed. I'm hungry far every
meal, and cat anything on the ta
ble. My nerves have settled down
MRS. R. A. MORRIS
and the sluggish elimination is al
so relieved. I am one of the hap
piest women in Georgia, and I can
never thank Retonga enough”.
Retong'.i is intended to relieve
distress due to Vitamin B-1 defi
ciency, constipation, insufficient
flow of digestive juices in the sto
mach, and loss of appetite. If the
first bottle does not bring you
gratifying relief, its small cost
will be refunded without question.

Disclosing that (0,000 tons of
supplies are being flown into
Chiba monthly, President Roose
velt said American airmen have
performed an amazing feat in
getting military equipment into
that nation.''
Mr. Roosevelt made the remark
at his news conference when a re
porter asked him to comment on
a statement which he said origi
nated in Chungking to the effect
that American supplies to China’s
armies have been pitifully inade
quate.
It depends on how you define
large, medium, or small, the Pres
ident said. He remarked that the
Burma road became useless short
ly after the United States enter
ed the war and that since then
supplies to China have been flown
in over the mountains.

reached back Into the forest it
was so long and It was said by
some the table actually groaned
under the weight of Its contents.
Food did not seem to be rationed
in the least at this time. Editor
Dwight Nichols, of the Journal-Pa
triot. was present and made a pic
ture of the large group assembled
around the festive board.
Following the lunch hour, after
appropriate congregational sing
ing, a response was given to the
address by T. W. Ferguson. Jas.
H. Isbel, of Lenoir, but a native
of the Grandin section of the Val
ley was present and responded to
the call of the president with
some very pertinent remarks on
family history and submitted
some very wise-cracking jokes to
the edification of the crowd. Un
cle Frank Hall, of the Goshen
community who is 84 and was
probably the oldest psrson pres
ent and who has the honor of
having started the reunion idea,
seemed to be hale and hearty and
gave the two families some very
timely advice in keeping up the
reunion and making them strong
er each year. Finley L. German,
a native of this community, -but
now a resident of Lenoir and
revenue collector for several
counties, was present and made a
talk after which he sang ’’Johnny
Comes Marching Home”. L-a-
fayette Matherly was in charge of
the memorial service and also
made Quite an Interesting talk
and gave numerous reminiscenses
of the Walsh-McGee families. All
the old committees were reap
pointed and the old officers re
elected for the coming year. Mr.
L. Fred Walsh and Miss Nora Mc
Gee, co-secretaries, deserve special
mention in making the reunion a
success this year, ftuss McGee
presented an album in which a
collection of photographs and
Kodak pictures are being placed.
There was a very representative
crowd present conwng from sev
eral counties and towns In this
section of the state.
The reunion will be held on the
first Sunday in October, next year,
at Beaver Creek. After announce
ments were made the meeting ad
journed, e'.-eryone having had a
very pleasant day together.

MOKE l.'JTH KKXUEILS—
We’ve learned by grapevine
telegraph of several new readers
of this column. We’ll probably
get a licking tor telling on them.
.. J. James, of Laurel Springs,
frankly admits he reads it and
hints that J. E. Foster, of Fergu
son, is another reader. And speak
ing of Ferguson, we learn from a
roundabout way that School Prin
cipal Mack Proffit sometimes gets
into this forbidden territory in his
reading, as does T. W. Ferguson,
of the same place. And there is
a report that Highway Commis
sioner V. D. Guire, of Lenoir,
sometimes gets so badly out of
reading matter than he reads this.
Roy Foster, of Wadley, Georgia, is
welcomed to the list of 13th read-
Evangellst Charles A. Keys, Jr.,
will be in his regular evangelistic
service this Saturday, October 8,
1:30 p. m., at the John Tomlin
son building.
The evangelist announces he
will apeak on one of the greatest
messages of the Bible concerning
Divine Healing, and how God
healed him when doctors gave him
up. God is healing people today
from cancer, blindness, stomach
trouble, paralysis and many
many dreaded diseases known to
mankind. Rev. Mr. Keys says.
The evangelist was healed him
self two years'ago through Divine
Healing from a dreaded disease
that caused him to be helpless In
both legs, and arms. Evangelist
Keys has the statements of the
best known physicians stating that
his case was one of the worst kind
and there was no cure for it. A
leading physician in 'Winston-Sa
lem told the evangelist he would
never be cured. This coming Sat
urday Ev.ingelist Charles Keys
will explain and prove without a
doubt that God will heal as same
as He will save. God is healing
people all through the world from
all kinds of diseases. Everyone
is invited to this service Saturday.

COLUMN PROBLEMS—
If we don’t use jokes, our 13
readers say we are getting too
tame. If we use jokes, they see
smut In them. If we write original
stuff, they say why not clip some
good writings from somebody else.
If we clip somebody else’s writing,
they say we are shiftless and lazy.
So what?
