A Miniature Of North Carolina "What a benefit it would be to our nation if every young lawyer, yea, and every young minister, would read this book-’’—The Methodist Christian Advocate, Chicago, I1L "It is one of the best and most interesting biographies I have ever read.”—C. C. Wyche, United States District Judge, Columbia, S. C. "The style is splendid and the subject matter is interesting from beginning to end ... Every lawyer in'North Carolina and every oth er citizen of the state interested in its history ought to read (this) book.’’—John J. Parker, United States Circuit Judge. "... both easy to read and full of much of the history of the state. Mr. Brooks has rendered a real service in giving us this book.”—Bernard W. Spillman, in Charity and Children.

Davis, former Ambassa dor to the Court of St. James. “This, to me, is one of the most fascinating biographies of recent years. It is a miniature of North Carolina painted by angrtist The clear, non-technical,- ; non-legal style carries the reader from one dramatic scene to another in the life of a man whose influence as a soldier, scholar, chief justice of his state and champion of reform will last for ages.”—Ben ft.

In Sparta and Alleghany count; I the day will be celebrated in var i ious ways. Some will make it i | day of rest from the labors o: I the week, sportsmen will go t< the field with dog and gun foi the first day of the new huntinj season, housewives will stuf: turkey and make cranberry sauc< and children will put aside theii lessons for the week end. To the hunters we give a wort of warning. Don’t be too fast oi the draw and get your bag limi before you even get started. Tha seems to have been the case witl R. E. Black and Dr. C. A. Thomp son when they went deer hunt ing at Pisgah National Forest las week. The first morning of th< hunt they got an early start anc before 8:30 a. m. they had gottei the bag limit, one deer each That’s what we call fast on the draw but according to these twc sportsmen it was a good thing they made the kill so early in the morning. It seems that it took most of the day to get the animals back to camp. many lames win De graced wun beautifully baked turkey and eq ually as many with chicken. Mrs. Wayne Waddell was worring a bout her turkey the other day. It seems that the poor bird was grieving itself to death, at least it was grieving away the pounds. Mrs. Waddell attributed the grief to the fact that the turkey had been taken away from the flock but we wonder if the doomed bird didn’t know or at least have some inkling of the fate in store for it Seems to us that the word would have been passed down from generation to generation of turkeys and that each year they would know their fate. Anyway Mrs. Waddell put the poor thing out of its misery and dressed it deciding that it would keep jusl as well in the refrigerator. For the first time this fall, the snow fell. On Sunday it was and it was truly beautiful. There- is a sort of breathtaking beauty a bout snow, as it falls lightly down from the heavens and leaves in its wake a fairyland of white and silver. We’re always reminded of what the poet said, “But pleasures are like poppies spread, You seize the flower the bloom is shed; Or like the snow falls in the river, A moment white, then gone forever." And speaking of snow, a lot of people expected it to come earlier than it did. About a week ago early in the afternoon, the sky grew dark and the air held that certain chillness and people look ed at each other and agreed that “snow was in the air” all right. Mrs. S. C. Richardson, who was spending the afternoon sewing looked up from her machine, no ticed how dark it was becoming and immediately began prepara tions for doing the evening chores. These completed, the cow milked, the pig fed, and the chickens put away for the night, she returned to the house, hap pened to glance at the clock. It was only 4:30. “Certainly fooled me,” Mrs. Richardson remarked. Whan yen go to church if the congregation is not singing your favorite hymn then just proceed to sing it anyway. Rev. E. W. Thompson was conducting church service at Rocky Ridge recently and announced the song, “Blessed Assurance.” Little Rose Marie Evans, two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Smith Evans walk ed up to the front seat, took her book, held it upside down and be gan to sing “Jesus Loves Me” in a strong clear voice. After a mo ment, everyone had stopped sing ing except little Miss Evans, who soon finished her song and I promptly sat down quite satisfied. ■ Are you one of those persons who likes turnips? Then we can think of no better place to send you than to the garden of Mr. and Mrs. Wiley Coomes, of Rt. 2, Ga ! lax. They grow purple top “giant” turnips we would call them. This 1 week, Mr. and Mrs. Coomes brought two turnips up to the ; News office, one weighing four pounds and measuring 23 V4 in : ches in circumfrence and the oth er weighing three pounds. “There are plenty more like these, the 1 couple explained so all you turn 1 i ip lovers know where to go. • Would Pappy Vokem love to get • into that turnip patch! i Running a close race with the doctors in Sparta on night calls ' and running at least three or four ! | lengths ahead last Saturday night is Claude Moxley, of Castevens Motor Company. According to Mrs. Moxley, its a common thing for the telephone to ring at all hours and hear an excited voice ask for Claude to come pull them out of a ditch or unwrap their car from around some tree that happened to get in the way. As for last Saturday night, it seems that “the man who operates the l wrecker” got to bed at the early j hour of 6 o’clock in the morning. During the night he had pulled in five automobiles from various points in the county. The busi ness seems to be growing by leaps and bounds. Pretty soon, Mr. Moxley is going to have to sleep ^during the day and just work on I the night shift. Laurel Sp’gs News Rev. G. R. Blackburn filled his . regular appointment at Pine Fork I Baptist church last Sunday. An! interesting sermon was heard. Mrs. Mary Bauguss, of Glade Valley, spent the week end with Mr. and Mrs. J. F.
