Thursday, September 30, 1915 That most everybody in this section is interested in Lenoir College and pulling for its wel fare was evidenced at the cele bration of the twenty-fifth anni versary of the founding of that institution last Thursday. People from far and near assem bled to hear the masterful ad dresses and to join in genuine good fellowship. Doctor Fritz and his co-labores are to be congratulated for the good work they are accomplishing. Hicko ry is proud to claim Col lege as one of her greatest assets and here is hoping that the col lege's usefulness will r.ever grow less, but will continue to mow from year to year in leaps and bounds and that her fame as a Christian educational institution will spread throughout the nation. A committee of the Hickory Boosters is now busy soliciting for members to this organization. At a recent meeting it was de cided to make the dues 25 cents per month until January 1,1916. If you have not already signed up please see R. A. Lovelace, J. F. Click; la Wood, J. H. Hatch er. or A, 0. Mitchell. These gentlemen will take pleasure in telling you something of the work proposed and will be glad to have your name. A commit tee is now making arrangements to secure rooms in which to meet regularly and the organiza tion gives promise of much good. A meeting will be held Friday night of this week in the Globe Tneatre and we want a at tendance. The first day of the fair here November 3, 4 and 5. will be Home Coming Day. Every for mer citizen of Catawba is uraed to come back and join with ,their kindred who live here in making it a day of joy and gladness. Come and see what progress this grand old county has made since last you set foot on her soil. It will do all Catawba people who have gone from with in her borders a world of good to come back once more. Catawba will welcome you with open arms and of your coming you will never have a regret., Come and help us make the day one grand celebration and mingle wi»h friends and relatives who are looking forward with keen anticipation to the event. Intenirbnn Talk. The advent of Messrs. W. L Duke and W. S. Lea, of the Southern Power companv in this section last Friday has set many tongues to wagging as to the purpose of their visit. They were guests of Mr, Ernest Erwin while in town and many oi our business men called on them. Some haye it that they are contemplating the evtension of the interurban line to Morgan ton, while others are equally sure 1 hat are looking over the field with a view to developing the water power. However, the only thing that our people do know is that they were here and were not touring this country in an automobile for their health Of one thing, there is no doubt—they seemed to be quite interested in the a nount of pow er required to operate the vari ous manufacturing plants of the town, It is more than probable that something further will be heard as a result of their visit to Morganton,—Morganton Mes senger. Worth Their Weight In Gold "I have used Chamberlain's Tab lets and found it to be just as repre seated, a quick relief for headache, diz zy spells and other symptoms denoting a torpid liver and a disordered condi tion of the digestive org*n3.

Soap, water, sunlight and fresh air are far more favorable in preventing the spread of in fectious diseases than is disin-1 fection bv fumigating. This was the opinion expressed recent ly at the meeting of the Ameri can Public Pealth Association at Rochester, N. Y., by most of the health experts who took part in the discussion of the control of infectious diseases. It was de clared that through cleaningwith soap and water, fresh air and sunlight, and particularly reno vation—repainting and repaper ing—whatever needed were more efficient methods of disin fection than is fumigation. As a matter of factdisinfection by fumigation has been discon tinued by the department of health in New York City. In vestigations were made as to the results of the discontinuance of of fumigation, and it was found that absolutely no increase in number of secondary infections followed, in fact, in the bor ojghs where fumigation was retained as the only means of disinfecting. more numerous were found" to be the infec tious. It is evident that soan and wa ter, sunshine and fresh air are indispensable as real disinfec ants whether fumigation is used or not. But as to the real value of either process the results de pend upon the daily c are and cleanliness exercised during the entire period of infection. Soap and water, as valuable as they are as disinfectants, will not be sufficient in one splash or ap plication to remove all means of further infection where there is carelessness with an infectious case. On the other hand, a 'Nit tie incense burnt to the gods of contagious diseases" at the end of the illness will not atone for all the careless coughing and spitting and careless handling of infectious material during the illness. It is a mistaken idea that fumigation, the burning of sulphur or anythiug else, or that soap, water and sunshine will take the place of diligent, per sonal care in keeping down, in fection. Daily care and cleanliness are the best all round preventives of infectious diseases known. Fumi gation may help some, but with out the real dirt chasers, it serves much the same purpose as does perfume where a bath is needed. Every Birth Day Mother's Day. I know something about a cer tain little boy, that ought to be told from one end of the earth to the other. This little boy, eleven years old, was celebrating his birthday. A thought struck him. He went into his little sayings bank and found his hoard to con 3ist of ten or fifteen cents. He took all his savings to the nearest store and bought a present for his mother. That was a good many years ago, but that little boy's mother hasn't forgotten that little present yet. And she never will. I think the birthday gift of that little boy is one of the most beau tifully suggestive acts I ever heard of. All of us receive pres ents or greetings of some sort on our birthdays. How seldom do we remember the mother on these birthdays. And oh, how much that birthday meant to hei! Think of the long months of waiting and watching and suffer ing; think of the crucial pain and agony, down there in the very valley of the shadow, heroically grappling with Death itself that the end of Life might be fulfilled! Wouldn't it be a beautiful idea for all the world to take hold of; that idea unconsciously suggest ed by a little cleyen year old boy; the idea of giving mother a pres ent on our birthday! What a fine thing it would be for every man to make his birthday the occasion of a tender letter of love and de votion to his mother! And tor every woman! There would be millions of happier mothers in this world, and anything that will bring happiness to any one in this world is well worth try ing. Let's make every birthday a Mother's Day,—Elizabeth City Independent. .he Quinine That Doss Not Affect The Heao Because of its tonic and laxative effect r AYA S R a °H°H ta e r.h. e „ Ct ordfna^ doe* not cause nervousness nor rlnKinß in head.

Traditionary history tells us that about 165 years ago when early Germans first crossed the Catawba river and arrived in the South Fork Valley, it was a vast wilderness, and the home of the wild beast of the forest, and the Cherokee Indians, an uncivilised and barbarous race of people, that had made no attempt to develop the resources of the country. These settlers began to clear away the loresta and they and their descendats had soon dotted the valley with fertile farms and good substantial dwellings, churches and school houses. These settlers were principally German Reformed and Luther ans, butlhe great trouble was they had no ministers. They had a seven years' \*ar with the Indians, and had to pass through the great American straggle for liberty and independence. Soon after this two ministars came among them, Rav. Andrew Lo retz, from Switzerland, a German Reformed, and Rev. John God frey Arndt, a school teacher from Germany, wno was afterwards ordained as a Lutheran minister. At first services were conducted in large double barns, or in some private house, and in the sum mer months in some large shady grove, but Grace Church was founded in the year 1797, by the Whiteners, Yoders, WilfonKS, Schifforts, •Coulters, Hasselber gers, Robinsons, Whitherrows, Reinhardts, Anthonvs, Wetzels, Speagles, Jarrets, Conrads and Lohrs. They held a meeting in the year 1796 relative to the mat ter of building a church, and we find a deed of conveyance for three acres of land from Samuel Jarrett to John Hefner and John Yoder, trustees. The price was SB.OO. This was part of the Fro hawks 1000 acre tract, The church deed was duly registered |in Lincolnton by the oaths of Martin Coulter and David Shu , ford, who was a very popular man of his day. As soon as the location became a settled fact the presumption is these good people, got together and went to work in earnest to get the necessary materials for the house of worship. Some of the number were to get a round of logs and deliyer them on the site, and some of them were to get the shingles. It was a two story log house 25x30 feet. After the walls were erected it Etood two years in that condi tion. The history of this work has been destroyed, but it was written in the German language, as the people in this section then t poke that language. It is sup posed that divine worship was held in this church even in this unfinished condition. It was finally finished and dedicated. This was done in the German language, and it was called Knauden Kirchen, which means Grace Church. There was a school house erected on the site, near the church, which was the custom of the Pennsylvania Dutch, in their native state, and when they came south this rule was adopted here. COL. G. M.
