Don't all answer at once.
With g.)od watefsystem, sewer
age and good streets and sidewalks
the old town of Mocksville is going
to take on new life and come to the

are needed, and more dwelling

It seems that cotton is going to

good tobacco will bring a fair price
on the local markets this fall.

The Masonic Picnic
Last Thursday was picnic, day
in Mocksville, Davie county, and
all the surrounding country. The.
crowd Was almost as large this year
as last, and the day was njoyed
by the nine or ten thousand men
women and children who mingled
together from early morning until
la.e afternoon. The annual address
was delivered by Dr. Howard Rond
thaler, of Winston Salem, and was
heard bv thousands. The class of
orphans from Oxford entertained
the vast audience with songs and
recitations, while the Cooleemee
band dispensed sweet, music to all.
One of the biggest events of the
day was the old-fashioned country
dinner that was spread on the long
tables about one o'clock. Just a
bout the dinner hour a heavy show
er fell, which settled the, dust but
did not dampen the arder of the
diners. After dinner many of the
picnicers went to the ball park and
saw a good game between Advance
and Mocksville. The lawn party
in the evening was well attended
and the exercises by the little folks
was of a high order. The day was
a success in every particular. There
was some whisky in evidence but
no one was killed or crippled so far
as we have been able to learn. The
proceeds of the picnic amounted to
about $i. 800.
Home Coming at Fork.
Home coming at Fork Sunday
was largely attended. Owing to a
death of one of Its oldest members,
Mr. Richard Foster, a good many
were kept away. There were. many
there from a distance. It was a
h ippy greeting of old friends. After
a short Sunday school, the Home
coming exercises began with sing
ing, reading a scriptural lesson and
prayer. Mr. F. M. Carter was
master of ceremonies. Short, time
ly speeches were made by. - W. F.
Merrell and others.-
Then the main speech was made
by Mr. O. B. Eaton, of Winston .
It was a beautiful and inspiring
speech. His subject was Commu
nity Spirit Morally thev good it
will accomplish. All enjoyed it.
They then adjouned - for dinner
which was spread'on two long tables
under the arbor. It was a fine,
large dinner. There was plenty
and to spare.
At two they re-assembled and af
ter songs, talks were made by W.
F. Merrill and J. F. Click. The
funeral of Mr. Foster at 2:30 cut
off the exercises. Tjhe f uneral was
held in the church and by request
of the deceased, was conducted by
W. F. Merrell, after which the buri
al took place in the presence of
many friends, brethren and relativ
es. The floral tributes was beiuti
ful. It was a great day, but mixed
with the sadness caused by the
death of a brother. But one con
solation, ifhe could not -be at the
home-coming here, heas-at the
home-coming above.

The Country Editor.'
From Elizabeth, N. J. News
Everybody has written about the
trials and tribulations of the country
editor but few have written about
his joys.
He stands ahead of the preacher
the lawyer and the public speaker,
because he never talks to empty
benches, but speak in all the homes
where' his paper goes. He never
makes impromptu speeches which
generally disgust the audience, but
writes with deliberation and premed
itation. The Dreacher's influence
for good seldom reaches father than
his congregation, while the editor's
field for good reaches all the congre
gations in the county. The lawyer
makes a great speech in the count
house dad only one or two hundred
persons hear him, but. when the ed
itor writes a good editorial it is cop
ied in various prpers in the state.
The editor distributes more flow
ers than a florist and asks nothing in
return for them but thanks. The
editor has an opportunity to do , the
invdidual citizen a service and he
never hesitates to do it if consistent
with his obligation to the public
T1 J . 1 .1 . '
me euuor nas me greatest oppor-
t mitv Jto convert men and women
to his way of thinking on public
questions. As the lighthouse on tl e
shore warns the ship from the rocks
the editor can warn the public from
frauds and fakers. The editor has
he greatest opportunity to protect
society from evil for the laws and
creating public sentiment for it.
The editor never tires of boosting
his town and country, and if both
do not grow it is not his fault. He
helps the deserving young men with
words of commendation and restrains
the old by words of warning. His
field of usefulness is broader than
any one else in the community, and
if he does not get any returns for
hi3 efforts for settlement he Vm
sufRent reward in seeing things
get better. He rejoicess in his op
portunity for service to his fellow
man. his town and his country and
goes on his way rejoicing, whether or
not he gets any returns for it.
