C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1916 NUMBER 45 DEMOCRATIC SPEAKERS v HAD LARGE AUDIENCES Congressman R. L. Doughton spoke te large crowds at Oakboro and Aqua dale Friday. He spoke at Oakboro at 3 P. M. and Aquadale at 7:30 P. M. At both places he held up the Demo cratic record of the past four years, especially stressing legislation for the farmers. The Federal Reserve Bank ing System and the Rural Credits Act were carefully explained by the Con gressman, and his hearers were un mistakably pleased with what he told them. At each place he spoke many of the farmers came up and shook the Congressman's hand, telling him they meant to vote the Democratic ticket. Many of these were formerly staunch Republicans. At Aquadale Congressman Doughton was met by J. W. Cannon, Jr., and other business men of Concord. He was taken by these gentlemen to Concord where he spoke on Saturday, preceding Ex Gov. Glenn. Hon. Walter E. Brock, at Norwood, last Friday night, and at Millingport and Richfield, Saturday following, spoke to large and enthusiastic audi ences. Mr. Brock is yet young enough to have the exuberance of youth about him and he got off many good natur ed thrusts at the Republican party. He made some telling remarks on the protection idea, militarism, and the Republican record; and then ably con trasted the wise legislation of the Democratic administration with Re publican rule. . Hon. O. J. Sikes discussed the is sues of the day at Stanfield Monday night. The Judge had a large and at tentive audience. The Judge, in terms that could be understood by all, .told of remedial legislation by the Demo cratic party. Not believing the tar iff question a dead issue he showed his hearers how Republican high tar iff had never helped the farmer but rather hindered him. Under a Dem ocratic low tariff the farmer had no cause to complain because his raw products were bringing high prices. LOCUST.

J Sometimes we almost belijve that i the love and appreciation of flowers; and those who fail to consider their sweetness and fragrance, miss a part of real life to which they are entitled, How the sight and fragrance of the rose, fresh, dripping with the morn- ing dew, awakens in us pleasant mem ories and sends our blood pulsating! with renewed energy, How the smell of apple blossoms arouses in one's Chihuahua City following the Villa brought to Albemarle. Committee mind dreams and visions of budding ! attack, it was announced at military men have been appointed for every spring, and the odor of the honey suckle starts memories of the dear by-gone-days. Flowers really have a language with which they speak words of life, light, and cheer to those who love them and appreciate them. Why is it that we do not spend more effort in the care and cultivation of flowers? Sometime we shall. Just a Few Flowers. I thank you for the flowers, dear, They breathe of the long ago, They come all fresh with morning dew From the old home tree, and so Bring pleasant thrills of old hearts And scenes, we used to knoV. All laden with the old sweet songs, That used our hearts to thrill; They 'waken dormant memories That make the love chords trill, Despite the lapse of weary years And age's winter chill. They whisper old forgotten vows And 'waken youthful dreams Of love and deathless constancy; They sing of sunny streams, Of meadows green and daisies sweet, Aglow with soft moonbeams. With the death of vegetation in autumn we are always reminded of how man buds in youth, blossoms in manhood and bears his fruits in old age; then falls, as the flowers, on sleep to 'waken to a glorious immor tality. Immortality. Say not, 'tis death that blights the world ; 'Tis only upward reaching life; 'Tis only nature's missile, hurled 1 1 ; .. r n ln rfAnrf K otflfo The grain ot wneat must fall, you know, i ti i l - ii i: t-i. grow, And ripen in me goio.cn ugm.

STANLY COUNTY TO HAVE EXHIBIT AT STATE FAIR Stanly county is to have an exhibit at the State Fair at Raleigh this year. .This is the first year Stanly has ever undertaken an exhibit. There is no reason, however, why our people can- not make a good showing. Stanly every reason to believe that Stanly county has as good products as any county in the State, if they are gotten together. Every farmer in the coun- ty is urged to contribute something to the County Exhibit for the State Fair. Saturday, October 7, has been set as the day for the articles to be township in the county to help gather up articles and bring them to Albe- marie on the 7th. But whether the committee sees all the farmers or not, anyone having anything that is worth showing is urged to bring it to Albe- marie so that the Exhibit may be as good as possible. Anything that is grown on the farm or in the garden is wanted for this exhibit. Just be- cause a farmer has only one article that is real good is no reason why he should not bring it; that article may be just the thing that no one else has. Let the farmers get busy and see the big premiums, and there should be products from at least one hundred farms. Lists of the articles wanted are being printed in this week's pa per. Look up the list and see if you don't have something that will do to carry to the State Fair. Come to Albemarle on October 7 with your articles and if possible arrange to go and take your family to the State Fair, for Stanly county may be a win ner of one of the big premiums. See 'u1- township committeemen for any other information you may want. Let us make the County Exhibit one of the best at the State Fair. It can be done. S. J. LENTZ, County Agent. Norwood Field.

D.. pastor of the Meth odist church, Salisbury, officiated. The decorations were simple' hnt beauti ful. Owing to the recent death of the bride's father and mother, the '.'wed ding was very quiet, only a few of the relatives and friends of the bride and groom being present. After con gratulations were extended, the bridal party and all present repaired to the spycious dining hall, where an ele gant six-course luncheon was served by Mrs. Barringer and her three charming daughters, ' Misses Grace, Lucile and Mary Lilly Barringer. In the afternoon the bridal party motored to the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Kirk, of near Albemarle, where a delicious six o'clock dinner was served. From there the bride and groom went to the groom's coun try home near Mount Gilead, where they will spend a short honeymoon, after which they will return to the Lilly homestead, eight miles east of Albemarle where they will make their home. For years the lovely old Lilly home has been noted for its hospitality, and no couple of Stanly county was more honored and beloved than were the owners of this home, the late Mr. and Mrs. John Frank Lilly, parents of the bride. This spirit of hospitality will be perpetuated by the young couple 1 who will reside there in the future. Mr. Boggan is a successful and progressive young farmer of Mont gomery county.
