CANCER CONTROL PICTURE An instructive and helpful picture on cancer prevention, "was shown at the Ford theatre in this city Friday night. This picture was secured by Dr L A. Crowell of this city from the American Society for Control of Can cer. The picture was shown as a part of an educational campaign in the fight against cancer. Dr. Crowell lec tured on cancer prevention previous to the showing of the picture, and emphasized the importance of treat ment of cancer while in the curable stage before the cancer is transmit ted to the blood. Both Dr. Crowell and the Ford management rendered a real service in showing the picture here for the benefit of the public. he has demonstrated his fitness for the job. Lincoln is to be known as a fruit section, another step in the di rection of diversification. Pruning of fruit trees has also come in for real consideration this year, and Agent Morrison has been kept on the jump instructing those who desire his Service in learning more about the care of fruit trees.- Gastonia Gazette.

COUNTY AGENT ON THE JOB By way of The Lincoln County News we learn that County Agent Graham Morrison is authority for the statement that Lincoln county is go ing in strong for fruit trees this year. Thousands of fruit trees have been set out in the county during the past few weeks. . From another source, we rn. hat Oounty Agent Morrison is vovmsr' himself the best agent Lin '.ol.i county ever had. For instance, he procured these thousands of fruit trees in wholesale lots at a nominal cost from the nursery thus saving the farmers a neat sum. In other ways VALUABLE RELICS (Hickory Record) Mr. A. C. Sherrill of Newton show ed the Record today a tax receipt made out in favor of his grandfather in 1819 by Sherriff J. N. Coulter of Lincoln county, there being no Cataw ba county at that time. ' The amount of the taxes on Aram SherriU's 100 acres was 40 cents. The receipt was a narrow strip of paper, written in a legible hand and was still clear. The old Sherrill farm at SherriU's Ford, 103 years later, is taxed at about $30, Mr. M. W. Sherrill, father of Mr. A. C. Sherrill, is still living at the age of 86 years, and his wife is 78 years of age. Aram Sherrill was a cabinet maker and among other possessions left his children some tools and a book "The Young Man's Best Companion," pub lished in England about 1790. This book explained how to make calcula tions, taught geography, penmanship and the simple arts of knowledge. Aram Sherill and his wife had nine children, the first of which lived to be 49 years of age before the family was visited by death. One child lived to be 93 years oid. M. W. Sherill is the only survivor of this large family. Aram Sherrill was born in 1790 and died in I860.

Carleton's poem on "The Country Doctor," as a tribute to the life work of Dr. Wise. Below is the appropriate poem: Maybe half the population, now of great or little worth, Found this watcher waiting for them, when they came upon the earth; This undecorated soldier, of a hard . unequal strife. Fought in many stubborn battles with the foes that sought their life. In the night-time or the day-time, he would rally brave and well, Though the summer lark was flying, or the frozen lances fell; Knowing if he won the battle, they would praise their Maker's name, Knowing if he lost the battle, then the doctor was to blame. -'Twas the brave old virtuous doctor, Twas the good old faulty doctor, 'Twas the faithful country doctor fighting stoutly all the same.

In his student work he was accurate and thorough, al though he was not in the strictest sense a close student. He didn't need to be. He got with ease and little ef fort what others less brilliant got only at the point of hard work. ' Tak ing the Scientific course he graduated with the class of '85, five of whom were from his own state. Perhaps it should be said in this connection that the student body as a whole associat ed with Dr. Wise during his college career was one of exceptional stand ing. The motto of the college: strict discipline, sound scholarship, and mor al culture was finely worked out in the lives of the young men and the young women who went out from its walls. The majority of them have done well. Numbers of them havj done exceptionally veil in their sever al spheres of usefulness.
