The Rovin' Reporter I (Continued From Page one) j ed a lot of money and time on the slop, that he would vote against it and was proud he had raised two boys who never touch ed it. Most of the talk at this place was relattve to the pending election. Ash: Not many folks there at the time. . postmaster Simmons had not taken in any bad {10.00 bills . . talk of the folks about counterfeit money, tobacco plant beds and coming election. Longwood: W.

G. fc The storv it told oI a k lag's tool wbos* i ob was to entertain the royal lamily. He was given a Stall and told to keep it until he met a greater loot tkan himsell. On? day the king was taken suddenly ill. He became weaker and weaker. The tool came to the king's bedside. i "Alas." cried the king, "I am going on a long journey." "Where is my lord going?" asked the lool. ~M." sighed the king, "I do not know." "And when will the king return?" asked the lool. Said the king. "1 shall not come back." "And has my lord prepared lor that journey?" asked the lool. "Alas ... I have not . . . and I am ahaid." cried the king. As the lool knelt by the bedside he slipped his stall Into the king's hands. "My lord." he said, "thou art a greater lool than I. lor you are going on a long journey from which you will never return and you have made no preparations." A man is a lool when he neglects to prepare (or his eternal des tiny. This life is so crowded with duties and activities that U is very easy to forget about eternity. But eternity is ahead, and everyone must take that long, long journey . . . into eternity! How wonderful it is that God has pointed out just how to pre pare lor this long journey. God has spoken through His Son. lesus Christ; and lesus said. "I am the way. the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me." To miss Him is to miss salvation?to miss Him means that you are unprepared for that journey into eternity. The reason Tesus is the way is that God judged Him for the sine of the world?for your sins. The moment you believe in your heart that Jesus died for you, and accept Him as your Saviour, you are saved. "How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?" i GOSPEL CENTER CHURCH (Near Holden's Beach) ? Prayer Meeting ? Bible Study, Saturday, .7 P. M. Sunday School, Sunday 9:30 A. M.

Some hunters rate their canines as part of their I families. With this the case we I can sympathise with F. B. Ro j berts of Orton. He stated Sun I day that his three black and white [spotted hounds had been missing for three days. The fund to pay for the fire truck of the Southport Volunteer Fire Department is still growing steadily. In addition to funds com ing in from various small sources, it seems that a nice check comes in from some one or other fol lowing* every issue of this paper. C. C. McQieston, Burlington hosiery manufacturer started It with a check for $50.00. Dr. L. G. Brown was in the next week with another $50.00 and the next week R. W. Powell and Brothers of Goldsboro sent $50.00. This past week Dr. F. M. Burdette of South port sent In his $50.00. Not all of the folks who make voluntary contributions are residents of Southport but all own property here or nearby. To them helping to get a fire truck is a form of insurance. j Although he did not know It, Hobson Kirby of the Shallotte [Trading Company was losing a sale when he showed us a counter feit ten dollar bill Friday morn 'ing. While we were still looking at his "queer money" several other folks bobbed in with bad $10.00 bills. We had intended buying a new hat as luck would have it we only had a couple of $10.00 bills in our pocket. They were [perfectly good ones. Prince I O'Brien of the Southport bank had passed them over the counter to us only the day before. But as things were relative to ten dollar bills at Shallotte that morning, we decided not to sub ject ours to any doggoned critical inspection before they'd give us a new hat. When we took John Hemmer, the State News Bureau camera man, out to the Reigel Paper company ranch last September, we had an idea he would get some pretty good pictures The pictures were not so good as they OYSTER ROAST ?NOW OPEN?

Still, the pictures j went far. LIFE magazine carried i one of them two or three weeks ago. Grltt has also published the' pictures and they have appeared in hundreds of newspapers and publications of various sorts. This week the Charlotte News wrote for stuff for a big story about the cows. Inquiries are coming in fast and the pictures and stories were good publicity for Brunswick county. There have been seasons a num ber of years ago when the local fish factory operated for a full Season on less than twenty-five million fish. This was because they could not get more, not be cause they could not handle them. At the end of the past week the Brunswick, Captain John Potter, had run up its nine months of fishing to show a production of twenty one and a half million fish. This is probably a record for any menhaden boat on the Atlan tic coast to shoot at. The Bruns wick is a converted mine sweep er. Other boats in the local fleet have also done well this season. After undergoing a serious operation in the Veterans hospital in Fayetteville and a patient there for a month, Joel More, South port business man is back at his home and store, getting along well. He telTs us he is feeling better than he has felt in yeras, although still a little weak. Like us, Joel is an early riser and there has been many a morning when we have found ourself short of tobacco and knew that his store was the only place in town open and ready to apply the shortage. Speaking about early rising, we were up at about 4 o'clock Satur day morning and were more or less busy. Shortly after 5 o'clock Will Sellers Davis came along with his ten year old grandson, Paul Moore. The youngster was being treated to a Saturday trip out on a menhaden boat and that explained his being up early. Pass ing the State Port Pilot office Paul saw us and exclaimed: Look, grandady, Mr. Keziah has not gone to bed yet". Writing from Port Smith, ArJ?., where they are now living, Staff Sgt. and Mrs. W. C. Norton tell of how they enjoy the home-town paper. Some friend recently sent them The Pilot for a year as a Christmas present. They like" Fort Smith and have* gotten to know a lot of nice, peopleVout. there but they still retain their effect ion for Southport. Mrs.,Uqrtpn is the former Miss Mary Florence Iloore of Southport. They have wo children, Richard and Billy. Going to Fort Smith some months ago as a sergeant, Mr. Norton has recently been promoted to staff sergeant. Prospects are good for another sport fishing boat or two being located at Southport in the late spring and throughout the sea son. Jim Wilson, Sports Editor of the Wilmington Star, is very much interested in getting cer tain boatmen here, believing that they are needed and that the local sport fishing can only deve lop by having plenty of boats and hotel facilities available. More boats mean more sportsmen and more sportsmen may hurry up the folks here on the hotel idea. A letter from Jim this week told of a mighty good boatman who was planning to come here. Farm conditions at this season of the year never looked better than they do now. It lias been too wet to plow in the better farming sections but has been fine weather for other sort of work.

Not tho least of these pre-1 parations are in the fact that! practically all of the tobacco plant beds have been sown. The huge small grain crop that was planted in the fall is all looking ! well and in fine shape to put j on a heavy growth. Elizabeth Lupton of the South port high school is doing a fine job of reporting the school high lights and other matters in which the young folks take part or are interested. When she started out some doubt was felt regarding whether or not she would keep her column going. That doubt is now (fading. She and the young people | are all interested in what she i writes and she is very prompt j in getting it to the office Monday mornings. Matter like that which Miss Lupton writes would be wel comed from the other high schools of the county, but it would all have to be in the office not latter than Monday in order to be in the shop first thing Tuesday morning. Felton. Garner stopped us on the street this week to say that ' he would put five thousand dollars ' in stock in a hotel and that he f would aid in other ways. He nam-1 ed a big business interest that | would gladly loan 50 percent of j what money is needed and which ' cannot be raised locally. With this j and that?that being the approxi-, mately sixty thousand dollars j worth of stock that Southport j people promised to buy a year ago?there is no reason why i someone should not start up the hotel proposition right now and j push it along until the hotel is j ready for use, This winter, has: gone further than any previous | one to prove the need of a hoteli at Southport. W. D. McCaig, Wilmington man' who has been in the service of. | various railroads for the past 56 j years and who retired only last | week as one of the vice-presidents }x>f the Atlantic Coast Line, spent j Sunday here with friends and re | latives. While here he visited [Long Beach and indicated amaze ment at its growth in the past few years and prospects for con tinued development. He had not seen the beach since the road was built and development start ed. Mr. McCaig expressed the in tention of doing some fishing here and at the beach this summer, now that he is out of harness with the railroads.
