PERSONAL? R\RAGP\Pn3 Mr. Thomas Priddy, a former resident of Stokes, was here from Rockingham today. Mr. J. Spot Taylor, who has been slightly ill for several days, as able to be out again. Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Ellington and daughter, Miss Laura Elling ton, of Sandy Ridge, visited Dan bury today, coming over in their Hupmobile. Mr. P. 0. Fry, of Pinnacle, the owner of one of the finest orchards in the county, was a visitor here at court this week. It Is Nol The End. Some of the newspapers who had been tender-footed in their opposition to woman suffrage, have been emboldened by the re sult in New Jersey to prophesy that the country will never ac cept woman suffrage. It is a mat ter of opinion, of course, but The Landmark sees nothing in the re sult in New Jersey to discourage the advocates of woman suffrage. In this paper's opinion the senti ment for woman suffrage is grow ing all the time. It is not going to sweep the country at once. It is a matter of education and agitation ar.d State by State it will be accepted, just as in the case of prohibition. Ten vears before North Carolina voted overwhelmingly for State-wide prohibition few people in the State expected any such sudden change in the public attitude to ward the liquor traffic. The granting of suffrage to women must come by the votes of the men, and for various reasons it is not to be expected that the men will vote for such a radical change ail at once. Put ting women on an equalitv with men in the matter of suffrage is such an advanced step that the very idea of the change repels because it is so radical; and it is so different front what we have been accustomed to regard wo man's proper place in the world, that the sonservative hesitate and fear the possible effect. Then, too, the politicans fear it because they J.:n't know what it may mean for them, and they generally oppose it until the sen timent gets strong enough 13 con vince them of its popularity. Considering all these things, it is surprising that woman suffrage has advanced so rapidly; and its overwhelming defeat in New Jersey cannot, as The Landmark sees it,, be construed as fatal to the cause. States like New Jer sey and New York will be the last to vote for prohibition—if they vote for it—and yet there are folks in plenty who see—and with good reason- -national pro hibition as an event of the near future, through either national or State enactment.—Statesville Landmark. . The many friends of Mr. J. Spot Taylor will regret to know that an inflamed leg is giving him considerable trouble. He is confined to his room. We hope to see him out soon. Young John Taylor, his son, who is down with rheumatism is slowly improving. | Mr. Talley and Miss Hester jShelton, of Moore's Springs, vis-, : ited Dan bury today. Master John Taylor, who has I been confined to his room for ' some days with illness, is improv ;ing. j Pastor C. W. Irvin filled his appointments at the Presbyterian | church here Sunday, preaching :in the morning at 11 o'clock and at night. Mr. John M. Taylor, of Win ston-Salem, accompanied by a number of Winston-Salem young people, visited Danbury Sunday, coming over in his machine. I Wild Geese Go South; Sign Winter Is Due. According to the old timers, grim winter is now due. conclus- J ive evidence according to them, being furnished Sunday morning i when a tlock (drove,covey,bunch, j gang or whatever term is ap plied in such cases) of wild geese passed over High Point en route ;to southern clime. The Enter j prise reports that the geese passed over the city about 5) o'clock Sunday morning and their honks could be distinctly heard as they wended their way south ward in single rile formation. The flight was too much for at least one c!ti;:en, for as the fowls were passing over the city a gunshot , was heard, and this was followed by a bedlam of honks from the geese, tut other than a momen tary break of the line the shot had no visible effect. i j According to the wise observ ers, the annual migration south ward of the geese is an unfailing sign of the final departure of the year's balmy weather and the ad ! vent of winter. These birds are accredited with an unfailing sense of the approach of sure enough winter, and when they see the looming up in the north of cold weather they gather themselves together and seek a southern clime where the snows and frosts come not. Their return in the early spring is always hailed as the sign that winter is passed. | War lo The End Of the Age. Scripture i:i very plain in its j condemnation of war. If any ; community or nation had such a : firm faith in ' iod as their shield and defender that they would trust him absolutely, thev need never fear war, for he would pro tect them; but is there such a nation or such faith? To sup pose this possible would be to j suppose that nation had reached ' the ideal Christian State. Unfor ; tunately, none has reached it. Jesus spoke against war, but the nations today do not echo or fol j low his teachings. When they do, then the time prophesied will have come when the swords and spears shall be transformed into implements of peaceful industry. Jesus also taught that wars would 1 continue to the end of the age.— i The Christian Herald.

A New York preacher recently sent out a circular letter asking those who received it to mention what they believed to be the greatest sin, that is, the sin most universally indulged in.

The Christian Herald. Tobacco is drying out on the farms now slowly, which will check the big breaks on the | markets.
