R. G. GENTRY'S FARM. What It Produced Last Year — Springtime Is Coming The Nuisance of Big Hats at Church —How It Was Twenty-five Years Ago King. N. C., April 3.—Mr. R. G. Gentry, of King Route 2, took a pleasure trip to High Point to visit his daughter, Mrs. Bouldin, spending a several days. Then he went to Kernersville, spend ing several days with his brother, J. W. Gentry, and then to Wins ton-Salem, spending several days with his son, J. J. Gentry, and from there to Walnut Cove, where he spent several days with ex-Sheriff W. H. Gentry, return ing home last Thursday. Mr. Gentry is a good farmer. There was 12,866 pounds of tobacco raised on his farm last year and it brought $1,462.85. The winter days are now past, the cold, black clouds have rolled back and the public schools have closed and some of the little folks seem very lonely and some of them feel as if they were grown. We notice in some sections that when the public schools begin that there is always some smart alex, who is always ready to point out to the teacher the toughs. But if they will be quiet the teacher will be able to nnd him out during the 4 months and you won't be the blame for the mistake. I tell you there is a lot of difference in teachers, and they have a tough time in teaching. Most all the trouble that gets up in our schools starts in the home by the fire-side. We notice in some sections that the people have gone to organ izing Sunday Schools and that means a different life to what some of us have been living. The sociable entertainment season is now over and it seems that the people are aiming to serve the Lord for a short sea son. Spring time is here for old motner earth is being covered in her robe of green that is dec orated with all kinds of flowers. The clouds rise, the lightning flashes, the thunder roars and the green leaves are putting forth, which remind us of the good old summer time. Now, just a word or so to the young people about the fashions that they are following now a days. We go to preaching and very often we get in late and have to take the back seats and then we cannot see nor hear what the preacher has to say for those big nats that are in front of us. Those hats are most as large as an ordinary umbrella. Now, ladies, if you have to wear large hats to keep the sun from burning your faces please do like the men when you go in church, take off your hats till preaching is over. I think it would be more convenient for those who have to take the back seats to gain some understanding of what the preacher says. People think fashion or style is the one thing needful in the christian world of today. But I tell you there is more style in the world today than there is religion. We look back 25 years ago, when the ladies went to cnurch dressed in calico, crowned with a 50c hat or bonnet, and when the preacher called on the congregation to bow in prayer they would at once kneel at their seats as though the love of God dwelled in their hearts. And today we notice whert the preach er calls his congregation to pray- NURSING MOTHERS show the beneficial ef fects of Scott's Emulsion in a very short time.

SCOTT A BOWNE, 409 fcul St.. New Y«b er they never kneel down for fear they will get a little dust on their fine clothes, and some of them never bow their heads in prayer for fear those rats will crawl out of that artificial hair. We often hear the preachers call ing for money to send the gospel to heathen lands. I for one see no use for such, for we can find the heathen nearer. We can find or help them at our doors. We know that spring is coming as the young men are buying low quartered shoes and striped stockings, and are marching out with a 3-eent cigar in their mouths and their hat on one side of their head, and those gentle men are too good to kneel in prayer too. The hog eats the acorn that falls on the ground, but he never looks up to see where it came from. Forbid that I should judge others lest I should condemn myself. Let me not feel the glamour of the world, but walk calmly in my path. May the evening twilight find me gentle still. SCRIBBLER. Tragedies and Comedies at Dead Letter Office. When you write an important letter be sure to place a return stamp upon it or have something on or in it indicating your exact address. At the Dead Letter auction every year the increas ing national carelessness in cor respondence sends over a hun dred thousand letters and parcels to be auctioned off by the Post office Department. This year the net revenue from this sale amounted to $8,749.75, and among the auctioned matter were more than 73,000 parcels and catalogued items. At the sale there are always a number of bidders ready to take a chance of finding contents of value in the letters and parcels from the Dead Letter Office, and it h needless to say that myriads of tragedies and comedies can be read between the lines of these waifs of the great ocean of postal communications. —Jo.

Ellington, of Sandy Ridge, was in Danbury Monday and dropped in to see the Repor ter. He is among those of the county who favor better roads, and told the Reporter that he was willing to be taxed to get them. Dr. Ellington said he re cently had the pleasure of driv ing over some of Guilford coun ty's excellent macadam roads and that he enjoyed it very much. As an instance of the disadvantage of our bad roads he cited a case near his home where on account of the dread ful roads a man who owned only a one-horse team had to hire his crop of tobacco hauled to market with two horses, which cost him nine dollars. Dr. Ellington stated that the extra cost this man was put to on account of bad roads would have paid his road tax for many years. Another citizen from the same section stated that he recently hired a team to go to market twelve miles away, paying $2.50 per day for the team. It re quired two days to make the trip of only 24 miles, making the team cost him $5.00 and he did well to pull 1200 pounds through the mud. With good roads the trip would have cost him only $2.50 and one day of his time, and he would have hauled 2400 pounds. That is paying bad road tax at a high rate. SAVED HIS MOTHER'S LIFE.
