Strictly in Advance. Entered at the post office at Mocksville. N. C., as second-class matter under the act of March 3,1879. Mocksville, N. C. Aug. 9 rJ23. Chairman Sanford Woodruff of picnic committee deserves much credit for the faithful efforts which he has put into making today a success. Never before in the history of the town has more faithful work been done than that which has been per formed this year by Mr. Wood ruff and his committee. Of course all who have taken part in help ing make the occasion a success will receive due reward in the consciousness of having been of some service. Regretting the fact that Mr. D. H. Hendricks has been forced to resign as president of the South ern Bank & Trust Co. of this place on account of ill health, we congratulate the organization upon its election to succeed Mr. Hendricks, Mr. C. M. Campbell, Jr. Mr. Campbell is a mighty fine man and we take this op portunity to say that the stock . holders could have secured few better men anywhere to take charge of the instithtion as' president. This is a good time of the year for our farmer friends to read more. August is the vacatitn season on the farm. It is during this month that the farmers get time to take a little breathing spell, as it were. The continuous labor from sun-up until dark all during the long, hot days of sum mer days, with little opportunity to read, makes this season doubly appreciated by our friends who till the soil Reading should be one of the main sources of en joyment and profit to the farm ers during the period between 'laying-by" time and the gather ing season. 'or our streets and homes. The Enterprise has been advocating this step on the part of our city fathers for the past two years. We have felt that it was the thing to do, and we are going to make this prediction that six months after the installation of electricity in Mocksville for street lights, homes and business hous es, the people of the town would give up almost anything else with less regrets, and we shall not be able to find half dozen people in the town who would consider going back to kerosene lamps, under any circumstances. There will be many advantages in other ways, for power to run machinery can be secured, and this is a decided advantage to any town. Manufacturers do not want to go into a town where electric power is not available. . : Let every citizen of Mocksville do his bit today towards Welcom ing the visitors who will be here by the hundreds. Nothing does more to make a person want to return to a town than to be courteously treated by the people and received with a hearty hand shake by them. And when one is well pleased with a reception which he gets in a town, he goes away singing the praises of that town to everybody he sees, On the other hand, if one feels like he has been given a "cold should er," or has been the least mis treated when visiting a town, he usually goes away with no desire to return, and tells about every fellow he meets what a contemp table place that town is. The success of the Mocksville picnics in the past has been largely due to the hospitable manner in which our people have received the visi tors each year. Lets give every body the glad hand today and carry a smile for every visitor. After all why would it not be greatly to our advantage as a town, to be known throughout the 'state as having the most hospitable citizenship of any town in North Carolina. Obituary. Belle Brock, youngest child of Noah and Emily Church Brock, was born in Johnson County Indi ana and while quite young came with her parents to Montgomery County where she grew to wo manhood. On July 26, 1923 death came as a sweet release to her suffering. She told us so many times during the last months, that if she could not get well she was willing and ready to go, and was trusting in Jesus shouId respect girls IUDGE SHAW DECLARES Advises Young Men To Quit Roaming Streets and Hear Cyclone Mack 'Young men who attempt to violate the morals of young girls had better stay away from me as I have no patient with that kind of person." Judge Thomas and not going to the bow-wows' ' he said. Judge Shaw advised young men of Greensboro, White Oak and orher places to stop loafing about picture shows and on the streets at night. "Young men, instead of roaming around at night, go over to the tent where Cyclone Mack is preaching. You will hear a simple, pure and forceful gospel preaching and it will do you good he advised.

"There is something about these home coming occasions that appeals to us. We think we should have .more": such events for they go a long way towards keeping old friendships renewed and they piumuiq cuiuvauon oi new friendships. Another home-corn '' ... ' - ing day will be held at Fork Church on next Sunday, August 12th. The Fork Church section -has made this home-coming oc casion an annual affair. Of course all the people in that section will turn out and r there will be a large number who have gone out from that community who will return to old Fork; Church next Sunday, to meet old neighbors friends. ' BIG HOME COMING DAY AT FORK CHURCH AUGUST 12th. Of course, everybody is per fectly happy over the good news that Mocksville is at last to have ' electric lights. VWe 'think we are conservative when we say that nothing . that has, come our way in the history o this town, has, or, will be of greater advantage than the coming of electric lights There will be the annual home coming day at Fork Church on the second Sunday in August, beginningiat 9:45 with song ser vice led by Prof. Yokley, four choirs will sing together a few old time songs that will carry us back to the good old days, they will sing some new ones also, af ter which the Welcome quartette will sing ''No Disappointment in Heaven'' ; perhaps the greatest song ever written. The Reeds choir will sing a number of wide awake songs and quartettes, Rich Fork will sing a number of real good live hew songs. The Erlang er quartette will sing a number of songs. Fishel quartette" of Winston-Salem, will also sing for us. Dinner will be on the ground in the old time Fork w?y, every body is invited to come and bring a basket. After dinner there will be a number of real live wire speak ers; who will speak and after which we will have more singing. Dr, M. L. Kesler, manager of our Baptist orphanage will speak on a Very important subject it Will pay you to hear him, this will by no means be a grave yard meet ing but it will be a real old and obedient daughter and so devoted to her parents and home. She was a loyal trustworthy friend and always so ready and willing to help those about her. It can be truthfully said to know her was to love her. It is so hard to part with her, the last one of a family of four but we feel that our loss is her gain. She leaves to mourn her death father, mother, one nephew, two nieces and a host of relatives and friends. I can not say, and I will not say, That - she is dead she is just away. With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand She has wondered into an un known land, And left us dreaming how very fair It needs njust be since she ling ers there. And vou O you, who the wildest yearn For the old time step and the glad return, Think ot her as iaring on as dear In the love of there as the love of here, And loyal still as she gave the blows , Of her warriors strength to her country's foes, Mild and gentle as she was brave When the sweetest love of her f life she gave To simple things where the: violets grew Blue as the eyes they were liken ed to, The touches of her hands have strayed, As reventy as her lips have pray ed, And the little brown thrush that harshly chirred Was dear to her as the mocking bird And she pitied as much as a man in pain A writhing honey-bee wet with the rain, Think of her still as the same, I ' sav She is not dead, she is just away. Mr. Brock is a native of Davie ' i county, and has a host of relati ves and friends here who extend their sympathy, in this their sad hour Oak, to serve four months on the ounfy roads for an assault on a female. Counsel for the defense urged the judge to be as light as possi ble on Gayle, declaring that he is not fully devoleped mentally and offered testimony tending to show that he is weak minded. "It has gotton so that when a person gets in trouble it develops that he is weak minded or has some other trouble, " Judge Shaw said. The judge lectured at some length, deploring the present "day tendency of young men and some who are not yonng to think that young girls and women are their prey. "They must be taught to let girls alone," he said. In passing sentence on Gayle he told the young man that he will have "plenty of time to think about his way of liuing," while serving the four months on the roads. Judge Shaw said that he was not a pessimist but he could not help being startled by the appar ent disregard for moral laws shown on every hand since the war. However, he believes that the moral pendulum has swung too far from the right and feels Jl- 1 V T t mat a marKea cnange may come over a majority of the neonle within a short time.
