Conover News.
The Christmas season was rea
sonably quiet at Conover. About
half the people of our place like
a religiously quiet time ail the
year, while the other half like a
little noise for variety. Some
boys for a day or so used a small
number of explosions to the an
noyance of the fearful. Some,
who tljink much of Christmas as
a time to mark with joy the com
ing of Jesus to save the lost,
think there should be no shoot
ing. Sounds of war, they say,
can not accord With the procla
mation of "Peace on earth, good
will to men." Any who drank
to exacerliation kept it rather
quiet.
Dancing never did much good
at Conover. But our young folks
will greatly enjoy a social even
ing together. Wednesday even
ing a good company of their
spent a pleasant evening at Mr.
Jonas Hunsucker's. The event
was in honor of Miss Stella Wag
ner, niece of Mrs. Hunsucker.
Mrs. Crawford McCall, of
Knoxville, daughter of Mr. Hun
sucker. has been for a season
with her mother at the old home.
Mrs. Bertha Shoaf, of Salis
bury, is also with her mother a
few days, Capt P. F. Smith's.
Our local Lutheran conference
Dec. 27 and 28 was attended by
Rev. A. L. Crouse, of Hickory,
and E. T. Coyner, of Asheville.
But our pastor, Rev. P. Bischoff
turned his back to the confer
ence, and went to Virginia for a
good time. ' Some think he is on
the business of seeking a part
ner of his tears and joys. His
brother, Albert, who is testing
transformers for electric lights
in Massachusetts, spent the holi
days with hjs parents here.
Prof. Haester, of Columbus,
Ohio, has been called to fill the
vacancy in the faculty of Concor
dia college, this place. He is
said to be a good man. We hope
he will accept.
Mr. W. E. Hallman who was
born at Conover, has been sell
ing goods here for about eigh
teen months. He is now offer
ins his small farm for sale, sell
ing his goods at auction, and will
return to South Carolina.
Concordia College, and our
other schools, will reopen January
?nd. .
Several families from Wiscon
sin whQjive here prefer preach
ing in Crerman. They have been
used to that from infancy, so
they have an occasional service
in that language in Concordia
church.
Mr. William Wagner, lately of
Wisconsin, is building a good
dwelling on his farm, two miles
from Conoyer.
Most of us-favor a state refor
matory and industrial school for
each race. We think it is need
edf and if rightly managed will
save money and increase produc
tion of wealth in the State.
