I j passenger train t!iai h:.s serve , j j thig iov. li for i. ->rc than 50 year ' made its l&Si trip Sunday, Apr! j I 30th. A largo percent of tiv ■ i towns population turned out to j meet the last passenger train to j pp.ss through King on its final I trip from Sanford to Mount Airy. The train was late and the large j gathering at the station rescm- I bled a funeral. Finally she was heard pulling the Muddy Creek ' hill and as it rolled over the grade the whistle burst into a scream. Engineer John Clark, the "Casey Jones" of the line j seemed to toot the whistle in a i , sad moan different from any blast of a train whistle ever heard here. Seventy-five people boarded the train for a final ride. Some went to Pinnacle, others went through to Mount Airy where automobiles were awaiting to return them home. J. E. Stone, who wa s in the party, has the distinction of having ridden the first passenger train on the line to pass through and also the last one. Dick j Stone, aged 13, who had never! ridden a train, was among the' passengers. The first passenger train oper , ated over the line which was ' originally the C. F. & Y.

Safety means security, l'reedo. i from danger and reliability. Some characteristics of safety' are thoughfulness, tartji'ulhes.;,, unselfishness and thriftiness. i I These principles are practiced by ; all who really try to promote ( safety. I Safety must be foremost, on the school ground for if anyone did a s he pleased, it would be very dangerous. In all kinds of industries safety laws must be' made and obeyed to avoid acci dents. On the streets one should obey the safety laws by obeying the stop H;rh?3 nnl policemen. While driving on the streets, a person should never be selfish or take more than hi s share of the road. In public place s a great j care should be exercised to pre vent fire. In the home, every member should do his part to make things safe. Home is a place of security when this is done. There are many small details to watch out for, such as toys being left : on the stairs, carelessness about fire, slippery rug s and sharp' dangerous instruments. Thought lessness cat:sc s many dangcrouj accidents. Children should b>" taught to keep away from falloi; i electric wires. Poisonou 3 drug;: and medicines should always o out of reach of children. I! ! these things just mentioned were I practiced more in the home, p-.r --! haps more accidents would b. . | avoided. Safety siioulj be uppermost 'r. ' our minds at all times and all , places. Then this country woui j be spared a great deal of sorrow 1 | and suffering. Let s make oui , ! motto "Safety For Others, j Means Happiness To Self." FIRST PRIZE ESSAY IN HIGH SCHOOL "Enrichment Of Rural Life" (Erice Johnson, Age 14.) The conditions in the rural sec tions of the country have im proved to such an extent that j more and more people are mak ing their homes there. The fact that it is possible to have all the modern city iconveniences has I greatly enriched rural life. The electric lines which are be ing extended daily have given the rural section the benefit of every kind of electrical equip ment. The electric lights are of course the most important fea ture.
