Important happenings, such as aeaws, ares, accidents, etc., may oe 'phoned at i iie uuriei o expense. Good roads,' good schools and a better system of taxation are the crying needs of the hoar. The winter roads should remind us that road work should be done in summer. Nearly three hundred thousand dollars increase in the assessed val nation of property for last year more than the assessed value for the year before is a splendid record for Ran dolph's progress. Guilford and Mecklenburg are en joying the frnits of the good work in the building of good roads years ago and Iredell and other counties are fixing to reap the reward of their wisdom in building good roads. Work in the laundry of a reform atory or in a work house for Beulah Binford would be a capital idea for those who want to help her. Put. ting her on the stage is not the kind of help she needs. Did you ever think aboutjit? The development in agricultural, indus trial and educational lines during the last few years has a magical ef fect on the people. They have be come broader, and more readily take up good roads and other im provements. The greatest development in the building of good roads is the diacov ery of the method of mixing sand and clay in sueh a way as to make a road of the highest quality. Experts say that sand clay roads are of supe rior value to macadam, except pos sibly on heavy roads. Thoughts on the Sunday School Lesson, August 17 The Lord is my helper and I will cot fear what man shall do unto me. Hebrews 13:6 This subject is worthy of our deepest consideration because it contains the very principal with which we are continually brought .into contact. The great King Nebochaduezz r had been away from his kingdom on long wars of conquest, and had subdued nations in all parts of the known world. lie had made his name great in all the earth and was a leader of armies and men whom fnw could resist. Sometime after his return from the conquest of Jem salem, he conceived the idea of showing to the people of all his vast realm that they were united in one great empire, and that he was the head of it. The people he had subdued spoke many languages and worship ped many gods. In many respects they were as different as people could be. The King desired to show them that he was the head of all and that in him centered all an' thority both religions and political. He had a great image of gold erected in the plain of Dura, one of his provinces, and he sent for all his deputies, governors, soothsayers and other chief men to attend the dedication. We are not disposed to say nytbing against this as a political act, for if the king could unite that great mass of humanity, no one in these days wcnld seri ously object to it, but as a religious act it was entirely different. God was not c,on sidered in the matter at all, or if he was, it was merely the lord of a conquered province, and no man's attention was paid to him. It was for this reason that the three He' brew children were willing to endure the wrath of the king, knowing that God was supreme whether they suffered death or not The king looked upon their words as dis loyalty to him. Although the three Jews had been faithful in his service, he now con demned them to death. The furnace was heated seven times hotter than usual and the king's officers took np the men and threw them in . The heat was so intense that the men were suffocated at the mouth of the furnace, hut the three Hebrew chil dren fell down in the flames unhurt. Truly was the Lord their helper. Can we not look upon Jesus as he lay in the garden of Oethsemene, the blood flow ing down on the ground? Surely he has borne oar sorrows. But they that bath gatL' ered it shall eat it and praise the Lord, and they that hath brought it together shll dciuk it in the courts of my holiness Isaiah. 52:9. Lester Lucas, Supt. Pisgah Sunday .-cltjol. Birthday Dinner Mr. Editor: I wish to thank my many friends and rela tives through the columns ef your jaluable paper for the marked kindness tendered me by way of a surprise basket dinner on Aug ust 13, 1911, proceding my departure to Florida on the 14th with my ton and wife. My family and friends had succeeded per fectly in keeping me in profound ignorance of their intentions and after attending to my usual morning duties, I sat down on the piazza to rest, attired in my old patched overalls and the rest of my wearing apparel haimonizing well with the afore named gar ment, and' great was my astonishment when I looked down the road and saw several of my nearest neighbors approaching with din ner baskets. I was not kept long in suspense as to what was in store for me. as my friends began to come is from all directions, until one hon dred and fourteen in number had arrived, . and each one brought a basket well filled with sufficient delicacies to satisfy the han ger of the most fastidious. When the as sembly was complete a table was provided and the good women proceeded to arrange the content of th.ir basket thereon, and when completed the table seemed to be groaning under the weight of delicious and well cooked food which is a characteristic of the neighborhood. About 12 o'clock the assembly was invited to the table, and A. E.' Spencer returned thanks, after which we all did full justice to the dinner. After each one had eaten to his heart's content, the remaining food, of which there was an abundance, was transferred to the baskets again, and the remainder of the afternoon was spent in pleasant conversation in which all present seemed to participate until the shadows began to grow long, and then we bade adieu to each other until the next reunion. Long live the good people who constituted this gathering. : ' T. W. Andrews. ' High Point Route 3 News Lee Church, of Arch dale, visited at L Bryan's Sunday.

Sold only at our store The Rexall Store, Obituary ' Priscilla L. Arnold waa born in Randolph couuty, in one mile of Mt. Shepherd Church on March 19th, 1S21, and died September 8th, 1911, in her 83th year, at her home on the waters of north Uwharrie, and near Pleasant Hill Church, and was buried in the beautiful cemetery of that chinch in the presence of ma ny of her relatives and f riendsi where her body awaits the resurrection of the just. The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. A. S. Raper, assisted by the writer. Sister Arnold was the daughter of Allen and Nancy Kearcs and the relict of Penuel Arnold, who preceded her to tLe eternal world about 22 years. She was the mother of seven children four of whom survive her: Mrs. IshamJ. Fuller, Mrs. L. C. McCrary, Mr. J. T. Ar nold and Mrs. Frank S. Lambeth. She left 13 grand children, 28 great-grand children, and 1 great-great-grand child, so there were actually present at the burial, five gener. atioLs; a very unusual occurrence. Her parents were both members of the Methodist church, and by precept and example, taught their children that religion was one of the chief interests of life ; and as a natural result, everyone of them was converted to God in early life, and become consistent members of the church, living above reproach and dying in faith, with the exception of two who are still living and climbing up the d sleet able mountain. And I deem it worthy of record here, that in all my life I do not now recall so large a proportion of direct de scendents who are up to this day (and I know them all) walking in the footsteps of their pious ancestors. May this current of influence sweep on foiever, "The promise is to you and your children." Sister Arnold being a modest, but life-long faithful Christian, it must follow as a natural sequence, that she was a true, faithful wife and good mother. I doubt very much whether any wife or mother ever labored more untiringly than she to promote allathe interests of her family, as she understood those interests. And she was one of those good pioneer women who helped to establish "the lit tle church in the wild-wood" at Pleasant Hill, which has grown to be the mightiest influence for good and uplift of all that com; m unity. May the name and memory of all such good women live forever. Frank H. Wood. Who ever heard tell of a town with water works without providing for drinking troughs for stock?
