Mothers are sometimes so thought less as to neglect the colds which they contract. The inflammation of the mucus membrane, at first acute, be comes chronic and the child has chronic catarrh, a disease that is sel dom cured and that may prove a life's burden. Many persons who have this loathesome disease will remember having had frequent colds at the time it was contracted. A little fore thoughts a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy judiciously used, and all thi trouble might have been avoid ed. Obtainable everywhere. adv NORWOOD. Our town is moving forward, not at breakneck speed, but nevertheless go ing some. Its material prosperity has not eclipsed its better interests as some places seem to have done. It is a splendid community in which to live. The moral nnd intellectual atmos phere are healthy, and the social side of life is very enjoyable. To all ap pearances the facilities for manufac turing are unsurpassed, yet the fac tories are not coming very fast. But it is believed that the future holds a career for Norwood not now visible. There is a due compensation for the smallness of the town, and its lack of bustle and hurry so evident in many places. The idea is now that unless there is push and shove and drive and hurry there is nothing going on worth while. The town must boom. Real estate must advance, and be in de mand. All the houses must be full and more in demand. But it is worthy of observation that with a boom there comes often a dearth of intellectual and spiritual interests. Thus we are reminded of Goldsmith's couplet: "111 fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates and men decay." Our wealth has not accumulated be yond cur ability to put it to a good and wise use. Neither have our men decayed. We still have men. No little town is richer in good strong Christian men than Noi-wood. But I did not set out to philoso phize, but to write some accounts of some social affairs in Norwood. First, we had a spelling bee at the school building last Friday night, and great was the fun and interest it aroused. So great was it that it is to be repeat ed on Friday night, October 13. All are invited. The "blue-back" speller is used. The old-timers are, of course, the best in that classic. The men spelled against the women. On that particular occasion there were more women than men, as sometimes happens in church. But in the wind up they stood on an equality, for Mrs. Shinn and Dr. Hart were standing when a motion was made to call it a draw and have it over again. I can not mention all who participated in the exercise. There were about 18 women and 15 men, though I will not vouch for the accuracy of the state ment as to numbers. Sunday morning in the Methodist church there was an unusual service. The Junior Missionary Society held the service, which was presided over by Miss Leola Atkins, who has held the children composing the society to gether in the same capacity for a number of years. This little society held a bazaar not long since, and gathered up sufficient funds to purchase an individual cup communion set. The exercises Sun cay were held to present to the church this beautiful service, as well as two beautiful collection plates. The en tire service was splendidly planned and as well executed as any similar entertainment ever held here. The church was well filled, and all were delighted with the service. To enter into the details of this in teresting meeting would not be pos sible for me nor profitable to the readers of The Enterprise. To Miss Leola and the children there is due all the praise, as it was entirely on their own motion and initiative that it was done. ' NORWOODITE. o ir. D. C. Meets Friday. The October meeting will be held at Mrs. Hubert Patterson's Friday, the 6th, at 3:30 P. M. This is the last meeting before the State conven tion at Gastonia.

WRIGHT DIES AT HOME OF BROTHER John C. Wright, for several years i a member of the local bar, and a prominent insurance man, liel at the home of his brother, L. A. Wright, at examination in iy;. Mr. Wright came to Albemarle in the fall of 189!) and set up his office. He practiced in the courts of the county and in addition gave much of his time to fire insurance business. Eventually insurance demanded so much of his time that he gave little attention to law. He managed this business successfully until his strength failed him. A few weeks ago, as announced in The Enterprise, he sold out his insurance interests to the Albemarle Real Estate and Insur ance Company. His condition grew worse until a few of his friends here deemed it advisable for him to go to the home of his brother in Biscoe in order to recuperate. J. E. Agle took him to that place. Later Mr. Wright went to Star where he spent his last days. Mr. Wright s body was buried at the t Dover Church graveyard. Those at- E. E. Snuggs, G. D. B. Iievnohls. and Will Furr.
