The Tuesday edition of the Salisbury Post had the following account of the celebration: The fiftieth anniversary of the mar riage of the Rev. J. A. L. Miller and Mrs. Miller, of Willis, Va., was cele brated Sunday at Bethel Lutheran church, Franklin township, where several hundred kindred and friends had assembled for the occasion. Both Mr. and Mrs. Miller are former resi dents of Franklin township, the form er being the son of the late Alfred Miller, and Mrs. Miller, before her marriage, being Miss Mary Anne Pink ston. They were married December 28th, 1876, and lived in this vicinity until 1891 when they .moved to Win ston-Salem;'and it vft their wish to celebrate the fiftieth Anniversary of their marriage in their old home church, among relatives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. Miller have five sons, and one daughter, all of whom were present Sunday. Other relatives and friends came from various sections of the state. The Rev. Mr. Miller preached , the eleven o’clock sermon after which lunch was spread on the church lawn. •In the afternoon all joined in the singing of old songs, and a short talk was made by the pastor of the church, the Rev. C. E. Ridenhour and others. STORE IS ENTERED THIRD TIME; SIOO GOODS ARE STOLEN Again A. W. Moos« Co., of Mt. Pleasant, Is Prey For Prowlers.—Robbed Three Times Lately. Robbery of the A. W. Moose Co., of Mount Pleasant, for the third time during the past few months, occurred some time during Monday night. The unknown prowelers entered the estab lishment through the back door, after • breaking the lock, and carried away goods valued at more than $l9O, ac cording to estimates of Hoy Moose. The robbery was discovered early Tuesday by Hoy Moose, who o ened the store for the day. Immedi ately authorities were notified of the case, and efforts were being made this afternoon to apprehend the thieves. Some four or five weeks ago the store was robbed, a quantity of merchan dise being taken. A reward of soo was posted by A. W. Moose at that time for the apprehension of the guilty. Among the merchandise taken by p. ;the Monday night prowlers are in cluded : Cigars, cigarettes, pipes, cig arette cases, stationery, compacts, raz or blades, kodaks and kodak films, and about $5 in small change and pen nies from the cash register. The theory has been advanced that the A. W. Moose Co. has been robbed these three times by the same parties, and judging from the variety of goods ..taken there is strong indication that the guilty are white men or youths.

Stick in top of photo shows spot where youngster hung to slim piece of wire until Nate rescued him. • This is a story of boyish initiative and presence of mind ; a story of brav ery that dispels the outcry of the ca lamity howler and h : s claim of weak ness among present day youths. It is a story ' not only of a lad’s quick thinking but of his success in saving two of his pnls who found “the going’’ hard and whose lives hung in the bal ance. Several weeks ago Nevln A. (Nate) Archibald, aged 12, son of Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Archibald, moved with his parents to their summer home on the outskirts of Goneord. This summer home soon proved the meoca for Nate’s pale, who were city born and reared. The country exerted over them the well known fascination that every city lad knows when he goes to the wide open spaces.. There were long chain swings from towering oaks, the creek with its ideal wading spot, hors es for rides and plenty of space for games that have been banned and eliminated through necessity in the growing city. Every day young Ar chibald shared these country pleas ure's with his friends, two of whom. Fabius Haywood, son of Mr. and Mrs. U J- Haywood, of Concord, and Jack Hooks, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. .R. Hooks, of B : rmingham, came oftenest and found the greatest, delight in Ink ing chances with the country offer ings. - , The Archibald home covers tht peak of’ a knoll that rises perpendic ularly from a highway that run alongside the boundary line. Acees: to the house is mtfTle by a road tha< leads from the highway to the front of the house, on a gradual slope. The highest point on the Arch'bald lot is 53 feet above the highway, and it was from this point that youn? Haywood started a descent that a! most ended tragically. There is noth ing on the side of the cliff to hold to after a person has dropped 5 fee’ Just the bare face of the h'll, wit l here and there a projecting sand rock Nate and Fab stood on the top of the knob and long : ngly looked at some object below that each wanted. Twas a long way down to the road from the cliff thought Fab, so down | the sheer face of the cliff he started, while children yelled at him to f take the safer course. Nate at the time started down the road, ft A small plum tree seeided a. safe , I starting point for Fab, but it soon proved its fickleness. No sooner had he flung his legs over the .-■cliff and put his weight on the tree than it gave way, coming up by the roots. Down the s : de of the cliff he started and the youngsters, watching his pre dicament in horror, yelled. Down he went a matter of three or four feet when in desperation he snatched at a flimsy piece of wire which projected in a loop from the bank, a remnant of an old chicken wire fence that had been allowed to fall in as the bank gradually caved in under the ravages of the elements. The webbing of the wire had rot ted out but the stouter rim was left, and to this Fab clung as the children shouted to Nate to hurry back. A tiny object was the lad’s body, sus pended more than 40 feet in the air; a tiny object outlined behind a 30- foot telephone pole that did not reach but half way to the top of the cliff. Young Archibald had by this time, reached the highway below. He look ed up to see how Fab was getting along and saw the body suspended in air, held by a tiny wire that might it any minute have pulled looae from ; ts mooring in the clay of the cliff. Back up the highway the youngster dashed, Tip the road to the house and aside this in quest of something tc hrow to the hailing boy. Nothing could be found and there vas no one at home to advise him T ther kiddies were not so quiet. They darted. the story around and friends >f this quiet, almost timid youngster have started a movement to secure him due recognition for his calmness. ;anity, courage and quickness of ac ion under fire.
