How to Get Trusted.
In these days of skyscrapers
unusual attention is being paid to '
foundations. They were always
important, but now that the'
buildings are going higher than
ever, the foundations must re-'
ceive greater care than ever.
We see illustrations constantly
of this same fact in the building j
of lives and careers. The office'
boy who puts a letter in the
wrong envelope when he is send-!
ing out the mail: the clerk who [
makes mistakes in his weights
and measurements; the stenog
rapher or teacher who lets little
errors slip through her work; the
helper of any sort who cannot be
trusted to get things just right—
these are not the people upon
whom heavier burdens are put.
The people in authority do not!
care to build important structures
of responsibility and opportunity
upon these unsafe foundations. — 1

Pretty Wedding ol Mr. T.

LARGE INDUSTRY
May Materialize For Walnut
Cove In the Furniture Fac
tory Spoken Of Other
News of Interest.
1 Walnut Cove. July 15. A
j pretty wedding was solemnized
|at the home of the bride at Old
j Trinity last Wednesday evening
j at eight o'clock when Miss Bessie
Shaw Parkin became the bride
of our townsman, Mr. Thos. J.
Covington. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. A. S. Raper
in the presence of a laige
, number of relatives and friends
of the contracting parties. The
i bride, who was beautifully attired
'in a gown of white, was attend
ed by her sister. Mrs. E. F.
Pepper, of Thomasville, while
i Mr. C. C. Smith, of Winston
: Salem, acted as best man. The
bride is from one of the most
. prominent families of the Old
Trinity section and has been
teaching in the school at that
place for some time. Mr. Cov
ington, who is well known in
this county, is one of our town's
progressive business men, at
i present being the successful
! owner and manager of the Wal
' nut Cove Motor Co. The happy
couple have the best wishes of
their rr.any friends at this place.
It is rumored that a High
Point concern is anxious to erect
and operate a large furniture
| factory here, provided they can
| secure the proper encouragement
! from the citizens and property
| owners of the town. Such an
' industry would mean much to
| the community and will doubtless
' have the co-operation of the
(citizens who realize the urgent
need of a manufacturing industry.
Nothing definite has been learn
ed as to the identity of the firm
that has the matter under con
sideration.
A severe hail and wind storm
j visited the Old Town section a
i few miles east of here Thursday,
doing considerable damage to the
jcorn and tobacco crops besides
' unroofing several buildings.
Since the recent rains the
; farmers who come to town on
business are very enthusiastic
about their crops especia'ly the |
tobacco which they had almost
given up as being beyond the aid i
of rain. While many are confident
that the crop cannot be as large
as in previous years, it is gen- j
erally conceded that there will,
be a far greater yield than was'
expected a week ago.
A great many of the voung
people from here spent Sunday 1
at P.edmont Springs and other j
places up in the mountains
making the trip by automobiles.
No people derive more pleasure
from the blessings of good roads
than, the folks of Walnut Cove,
j There are more than twenty cars
I owned here which is probably as
j many as any town of its size in
; the state can boast of.
With the Republican primaries
I only a few days off politics is
| waxing warm as it usually des
at this place. The main target
seems to be the office of county
treasurer with as many as four
aspirants from this immediate
section. Messrs. Fagg, Petree,
Glidewell and Fowler all have
strong following and many active
friends and the fight promises to
t be an interesting one to the
finish.
Almost all the business houses
here are taking up the slogan,
"Swat the fly, "and the champion
I germ carrier is the victim of
I various traps and snares. To Dr.
r Critz, however, belongs the honor
, for devising the most destructive
, of all the methods which is just a
tox covered with wire with small
. wire funnels on the bottom, the
. v bait is placed beneath the box,
,jthe Hy, after satisfying his
.1 appetite, llies up into the funnel
J and is trapped. The little boxes
II were placed along the streets
. j Saturday and since then it is safe
i to say that no less than a million
,'rlies are dead as a result. The
. i little boxes are inexpensive and
,| no other method is near so
'effective.
