MNUNT AIRY HAPPENINGS a
a
New Phone Line to Low Gap Elec
tric Line Will Be Built—A Fire i
and a Robbery.
Mt. Airy, April 28. |
A force of hands last week com
pleted a survey of a telephone lino
from this city to Low Gap, via
Laurel Bluff Cotton Mills, and the )
■work of erecting the poles will be
gin at once. This is an independ- j
etit line and means much to this
ciiy, for it affords a means of com-|
inunication to a section heretofore
isolated and hard to reach owing
to its .ong distance from here.
This system will comprise 17
phones besides a line from Low
Gap to Galax, Ya„ thus complet
ing the line to the latter place and
giving us direct communication
from that hustling Virginia town.
E. C. Hein«, owuer of the local
system of this city, will string a
double line on the new company s
poles from here to Laurel Bluff,
which will connect with six or
more phones in that neighborhood.
The entire line, when completed,
will be connected with 25 or more
' phones, and will prove a great con
venience to the territory lying be
tween this city and the Blue Ridge
mountain and add much to the in
dustrial growth of the western
jpartof the county.
{Several gentlemen of means who
are interested in the project to
build an electric line from this eiiy
to the White Sulphur Springs met
at the City Hall last Saturday af
ternoon. This was a preliminary
tueeting Lo formulate plans for the
organization of & company to util
ize the franchise recently granted
by llw city authorities, g, L.
Haymore ar.d J. U- Fulton were
instructed to draft articles for sub
scription of stock and to open the
books to those who desire to invest
ic this enterprise. When the de
sired stock is secured, a charter
will be applied for and the woik
of constructing the line be com
fl»*atfed at once. The prospect for
falsing is considered
good, in fact U)ope inter
ested olaim that the money is vir,
tually secured.
On last Saturday night the bam
of Sam Holder, who lives near
Bound Peak, this county, was
totally destroyed by fire, together

A telephone message this morn
ing tells of a robory that was com
mitted at Low Gap, this county,
last night. The store of Wood
ruff Bros, was entered and many
goods and all the money in the
cash drawer was stolen. Blood
hounds arc now on the trail of the
robbers and it is expected that
they will be apprehended.
The local Chapter Daughters of
the Confederacy has decided to
carry out about the same program
for Memorial Day, May 10th, as
that of last year, but the speaker
for the occasion has not as yet
been selected, as that matter is
left to a committee of Veterans.
Abont twenty crosses of honor
will be awarded, and plenty to eat
will bo served to the old Veterans.
The new telephone line from
this place to Kibler, Va., was com
pleted today, which puts this city
in communication with a section
of Patrick county, Va., that has
i large interests here. The new line
was erected by John T. Hodge for
the Dan Valley Lumber Company,
but it will doubtless be open for
the use of the general public.

TRIALS OF THE CHRISTIAN.!
Farmer Writes Concerning Our Relig-j
ious Duties.
Dillard, April 21.—1 want to say
a few words about what a Christian
has to contend with here in this
sinful old world. The Christian !
life is one of coutinous warfare j
with Satan. He is going up and 1
down through the earth seeking
whom he may devour. The black-
J ness of siu that is abroad in the
world today. You may go to one
place and will see bar rooms and
drunkeness, and go to another and
you will see card playing and
gambling and another and you
will hear vulgarity, and the name
!of God being used in vain. What
1 does it take to be a Christian? We 1
I have got to put on the whole
armor of God and yield not to
temptation and fight Satan and
all evils and blackness of sin that 1
comes up before us. We, as Chris
tians, have got to suffer the perse
cutions of this world just as the
blessed Saviour did when on earth.
He bore insults and scoffs and
jeers from mortals here below
though He might have and could
had legions of angels rush to his
defense. Though He bore it all
with patience. We can go to |
Jesus and tell Him our griefs, all
our burdens, all of our eleepest
sorrow and He never tells any one j
else, but just tells the best and j
j only thing to do. He knows our ;
| needs aud minds. He is our'
| wonderful counsellor. We should I
| strive harder until we become
1 strong enough to resist every temp-;
| tation that ootnes up before us.'
God put good and evil before man.
We have our ohoice, if we choose
'! good it is a wise choice, but if we
1 i choose evil it is a foolish choice.
Christians, where are we going to
s spend eternity. Let ua examiue
" ourselves and see whether or not
- we are what we should be, if not
■ we are living beneath our privil
, eges.. Sin always means sorrow. A
- God-defying Ingersoll may laugh
1 and make merry in the face of
; I God, but no moral philosophy can.
t And much less could the blessed
r | Lord who could see the full mean-
I ing of sin. The blackness of sin
i brought the flood and swept man
and beast off the face of the earth.
| None but Noah and his family
| was saved. Sin laid guilty Sodoui
I in ashes. Sin nailed the Son of God
to the jough. rugged cross. Would
' that Man could have sin pictured.
" | before hiin in its blackest form.
" j And let him see where it will drag
r | him to. We ought to keep our
' | selves unspotted from the world; if
a: wo will do that and keep in cons
stant prayer the Devil can no more
rule over us than he can regain
his lost throne in Heaven. Lot
j tho law of truth be found within
our mouth and let eniquity not be
found within us. Let us live in peace
and iquity. We are watched by sin
nors, we are watched by hypocrites,
|we are watched by the world, but
II it does not hurt us to be watched,
| We should watch ourselves. There
c 1 are those who would rejoice at oui
downfall. We are not dependent
! upon sinners and scoffers to warn
lus of danger. We should watch
aud pray lest we enter intc
I temptation. We may be even sc
' poor that we may not have a place
j ! we can call our own, but that does
! not keep us from being a true
j child of God; when the son of Goei
was here he did not have a place
to lay his head and are we bettei
then He. No, not in the least; whet
we pray we should not be like the
Pharisees, to pray to be heartl ol
men but be in earnest and pray sc
our prayers will ascend higl
Heaven's throne and be»heard ane
answered; we should strive to bet
n ter ourselves and others to live, fi

BRYAN FOR PRESIDENT.
New York Democratic Club, Which
Is to Be Made National, Planning
Big Reception to Bryan and May
Nominate Him For President.
New York, April 28.
The Democratice Club will con
| aider the nomination of William
I J. Bryan for the Democratic ticket,
| many members being pleased with
the conservatism he has shown in
his writings, and desiring a strong
man against Hearst. The Demo
cratic Club has not given up its
! intention of nationalizing itself,
j members asserting that at no time
was there any intention of aband
i oning their original plans. The
trustees decided to change the
; name to the National Democratic
Club and invite membership from
all the States. Although Bryan is
not due in New York in several
months, members are already plan
ning for a rousing reception for
him. It is likely that a big din
ner will be given in his honor, to
which Democrats from all parts of
the country will be invited. Ac
cording to arguments of members
i of the Club, what was regarded as
radicalism four, eight, or twelve
years ago, in the light of recent
: developments, has become actual
1 conservatism, and Mr. Bryan,
therefore, they argue, is a con
j servative Democrat.
I thing to do, we liavo got a great
I work to do, we should be alive
for God, alive to the community
j and to the world, if we join the
! church and say that is all we have
|to do, and sit down and fold our
I hands and say we have nothing
else to do, we had just as well be
: out of the church as in it. Let us
' live so we may be able to turn
' others away from sin's destructive
' way; who shall bo able to stand
! in the great and terrible day of the
' Lord. Let us prepare ourselves
' and otfer our prayers unto the
Lord so He will hear and answer
L them. Let us love and comfort
1 each other; who will abide in His
f
coming and who shall stand when
' He appeareth. It will be those who
' have washed their robes in the
blood of the lamb and made them
1 white as snow. Let us be like Job;
' though He slay ns, let us trust him,
' It will not bo every one that sayeth
7 Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
1 Kingdom of Heaven, but it will
' bo those who seek and find Christ
and put their trust in Him and
" keep His holy laws and commands.
' Let every child of Ciod live so
' when he or she is called to leave
this old world they will hear the
' welcome word come up higher it
" is enough thou hast beon faithful
0 over a few things, I will make the
1 ruler over many things. Enter
* thou into the joy of thy Lord.
