'V; INTERESTING HISTORY OF OUNG, GROWING CHURCH. "';':';'' -': -y'- :-. . Was Organized at Flat . Rock Four i . Years Ago Now Has Good Work- 1 I IngFprce and New Building. f:. (By Mrs. L. E. Fisher.) . The conference ye;ir has drawn to i close and Rev.s W. R. . Shelton of the Methodist ; .church left for Charlotte Tuesday morning to attend the annual 'conference, which convenes in Trinity church. Mrs. Shelton carried wifti him a j most . gratifying" report and one which will interest Methodists through- cut the county. About four years ago this church was organized by Rev. W. A. Newell, then of Tryon, now president of Weav er college, with 9 members, which in cluded only three men, namely C. P. Rogers, L. C. Westall and R. M. Pat terson. With no financial strength tut with nine determinations a churchJ building was started. Today a neat little .church valued at $2,500 stands on a pretty lot near th'e Flat Rock sta tion. It is nicely painted and is cpm plete within, with a .gasoline " lighting system, and is free from debt. It has a , membership of 70 with Sunday school well attended and an average attendab.ee at prayer meeting of 3S. This year the church raised for all pur poses $658.13 and all salaries are paid in full. The general mission board helps the church on pastor's salary each year but this faithful band U struggling to be self sustaining at no far distaut date. Much of the credit of such fine church work is due the Ladies Aid society, which numbers thirty-seven members. . The Rev. Mrv Shelton is a young man but has done fine work for two years. He expects to leave this work and finish his college course, hence a hew pastor will be appointed for this place. HYDER BUILDING BURNS. Dilapidated Wooden Shacks to beRe- placed by New Brick Building." The three wooden buildings adjoin ing the Gallamore-Wynne Drug store on ' the west were destroyed v by fire FridaV morning about 2 o'clock. Tbe buildings were the property of Henry Hyder and were of a construction that permitted the fire full headway. One of . the structures consisted of two scores and another was nothing but a shack with a cover. The loss Is con- sidered small as the buildings were not 'very serviceable in their condi tion of the past few years. It is reported that the remains will be replaced with a substantial brick structure, probably two storiesNin height, which will contribute consid erably to the appearance of that street.

It is needlessfor us to repeatedly call attention to these facts, for it does not profit us to spend a dollar to collect a similar amount We would dislike placing the ".itsr !n ac hand of our at torney for, collection, therefore would appreciate contributions of 50 cents and $1 from those who are .due us on subscrip tions.. ., . v.
