O.nly those .who suffer most
oyer their own faults can be of
most service in helping their fel
lows to overcame their, faults.
Only as we are keenly conscious
of our 'own sin.) remembering it
vividly as we cling in recognized
worthlessness and .helplessness
to unriat as our onlv hope, can
we be of help to others in lead
ing them out of their faults into
a lasting Christ given victory and
freedom. Yet we do .not often
go in this spirit at the task of
helping other to overcome If
we see, or think . we see, some
fault in another, And wa contem
plate -speaking about it, that
fault usually looms so big ins t
then tnat our own . faults are
quite forgotten, in the exercise.
And our . forgetf ulness is the
doom of our helpfulness.lt makes
real love and sympathy impossi
bie.- it distorts or clouds our
vision.. ' We cannot see others'
faults truly unless wd are feeling
our weakness at the same time.
One good result from this insist
ence upon remembering our own
weakness is.that others' failures
wilt seem so little by .contrast
that . we shall usually decide not
to mention them at -ll: "'But if
on rare occasions; at God's" owa
urgent leading,-We do speak; it
will be with a wealth 'of love and
tenderness and" sympathy and
conscious ' personal '; ihferiroity
and Otter , dependence. ' upon
Christthat will uplift and en
courage and- inspire. -May , that
be always-our whole and only
purpose as we think or speak of
the shortcomings of our fellows!

turn this week to their homes in

but all the patrons and pupjls
agree that it has been, 'in every
particular, the best term in the
history of the school. On Friday
evening the Literary Society of
the school rendered a very inter
esting program. It was appreci
ated by one of the largest audi
ences that has ever been in the
Graded School.auditorium. Many
were turned, from its doors be
cause even standing room could
not be found. 7 The leading num
ber on the program was a debate
by four of the brightest young
men of the school, The query
was on compulsory school atten
dance. . The debate was lively
and well prepared. The affirma
tive was intelligently and con
vincingly ", debated by Messrs.
Claudie Lassiter and Paul Brit
ton, but the arguments which
were presented by Messrs, Paul
Parker an David Britton of the

ver offering was taken and re
freshments seryed for the benefit
of the opera chair fund for the

teachers will be keenly felt by
the entire community.- While in
pur midst they proved themsel

ic is with deep 'regret to us that
they depart from pur midst. Es

'ee has reached the time of

there are will appear at least
some glimmerings of the cave-
dwelling barbarian. They are
using BB shot by the pound,
writes one distressed ladv. "I
am now nursing a lovely blue
bird shot in the wing a few days
since. Often the parents buy the
8hk for the boys, which is the
greater shame. We must" save
our birds, The boys will have to
be trained,restrained or punish
v They ought to be, that is a fact.
L The times have changed, with
regard to tne attitude of the hu
man toward useful, beautiful and
melodious members of the feath
ered tribe. That has resulted in
a great. increase of the latter.
The blue bird has returned after
an absence of maay years. We
know of at least two families of
mocking' birds dwelling in Ashe
ville; and the increase of the
mocking bird population in wes
tern North Carolina has number
ed manly hundred, in the past
few years, it may be supposed.

This community was burdened
with a great shock when it was
spread Sunday Viight that the
angel Of death had quietly enter
ed the home of Rev. Dancy Cale
and borne from . him the quiet
spirit of his beloved wife. She
had been in declining health- for
mre than a month but at the
time of her death she had seem
ed better. Not only will her
loved ones and friends miss her
but the Sunday School, church,
and especially the W. M. Society
of which she was a devoted,faith
ful member, will greatly lament
and deplore the loss of one so
dear to the" hearts and lives of
the entire community and then
who knew her. She was a de
vout Christian and a good neigh-'
bor and her very life was a liv
ing example of noble Christian
'duty. Had she lived a few years
longer she could have celebrated '
her golden wedding. Of course
it is sad to give up one so dear
and useful but all the better rea
son God wanted her to go and
live with him and may the be
reaved ones be comforted in the
thought that she is only gone on
before to a better home prepar
ed for her and not made with
hands to beckon them on when
they're called; Her funeral ser
vices will be conducted , in the
church today (Tuesday) at 2:00
o'clock and the interment will
take place in the Beale grave '

ings be upon W guide and ; com
