The weather for Christmas day
was more favorable than we hoped
for, and many of our people took
advantage of the nice day to visit
their friends and relatives.
S.Sgt. Wayne ■C. Church, who is
stationed at Camp Chaffee, Ark.,
was home to spend Christmas with
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. N. C-
Church. This family has three
sons in the service: Capt. Lass
Church, with the Q- M. Corps, in
Prance, and T.Sgrf;. Raleigh Church
who is somewhere in the European
theatre of war. Sgt. /Wayne
Church spoke very complimentary
of Dr. B. B. Ferguson, who is a
native of Reldsville, pastor of the
JMrst Baptist church of Chaffee.
Mr. and Mrs. Otto Bryan and
little daughter, Anita, of Ports
mouth, Va., were guests in the
home of Mrs. Bryan’s parents.
Rev. and Mrs. Jas. T. Nichols.
Miss Doris Nichols, of Winston-
Salem, visited home folks Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. T. G. Miller and
little daughter, Sherry, of Jeffer
son, visited relatives here Christ-
jmas day.
It did seem that the customary
salute “Merry Christmas” was out
of order, since our boys overseas
I were deprived of Christmas joys.
jYet, we have great cause to be
I thankful that we can celebrate in
our own way while our boys stand
guard and make the supreme sac-
jiifice that this privilege of ours
may continue.

took sides slightly but no liquor
coimts were leveled at Senator
Hoey and his honor had to be
merciful. The upshot of the court
was the presentation of a hand
some tooled leather book with il
lumined hand lettering, executed
by F. Seidenstecker, Chicago art
ist. This contained the thousand
sigrntures of the neighbors who
had brought witnesses to the sen
ator.
Other charges against Senator
Hoey were that he wears long
coats all the time and long draw
ers in the good old summertime.
Holt McPherson, whose flair for
the dramatic bobs upon all occa
sions, presided. Hoey will leave
here Sunday for Washington.
The main speech was made by
Governor Cherry, who related
Hoey to all the history which the
new Governor hopesi to employ in
his own tokm. The senator, elect
ed to the legislature of 1899, be
fore he was 21, introduced the bill
creating the labor department,
then responsible for the state’s
printing. The senator served in
several legislatures, among them
the one which 'wrote the new con
stitutional amendment and sent
the state on its path of universal
education.
Concluding his address, Govern
or Cherry turned to Senator Hoey
and said: "North Carolina and
her people are placing their hopes
and asptotions in you, for we be
lieve you will exert your ener^ek
influence in leading this greaf
nation to a peace which 'will last
longer than a generation. The
faith of our people is that you will
sponsor and work for a definite
$nd permanent program; and

ability and your ideals, we feel
sure that you will not fail this
