OLD FORT NEWS VOLUME II OLD FORT, N. C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1929 NUMBER 19 THE OLD FORT NEWS The Old Fort News is pub lished each week in connection with the Marion Progress. MISS GERTRUDE DULA, Editor and Business Manager. “A RESOLUTION” To choose the best; to do my best; to live; Determined that I grow and do and give; Never to look behind me for an hour; To kneel in weakness and to walk in power; And always facing forward to the light; Now and forever standing for the right; Though struck, defeated, fallen for a day. Yet on, with the strength God grives-- On in the way. OLD FORT SCHOOL NEWS OF INTEREST The attendance of the Old Fort School has been remarkably good since the holidays. Although the ranks were thinned considerably dur ing the month of December, the at tendance for January has been ex cellent. On Friday, January 18, the devo tional exercises for the opening of school were conducted by Rev. D. F. Lewis of the Methodist Church. Mr. Albert Noblitt, a former student of the Old Fort School, followed Mr. Lewis with a few well chosen re marks and words of advice. Mr. Nob litt is now a student of outstanding ability at Duke University. On Monday morning, January 21, LOCAL AND PERSONAL ITEMS OF INTEREST The oyster supper which was gfiv- en by the Mason’s Lodge at the Pied- Mont Hotel on Thursday evening was attended by more than a hun dred people and proved to be a very enjoyable affair. Mr. and Mrs. Charley Snyder and Miss Elizabeth Sherrill were visitors in Canton on Sunday. The Bridge Club met with Mrs. A. V. Nolan on Friday evening. Special invited guests were Mrs. D. T. Roughton, Miss Helen Watkins, Mr. Carey Hedgepath and Mr. Fred Bradley. Top score was won by Car ey Hedgpath. A salad course was served by the hostess at the conclu- the chapel exercises were conducted i sion of the games. THE CHURCH The Church is the noblest and best organization in the world. It furnish es the best examples of righteous liv ing. It produces the finest specimens of character of which this world has any knowledge. It exercises the larg est influence in the work of reform. It is one sure and steadfast promoter and supporter of reform. Whatever good is in the world has come through the avenues of the Church. Both directly and indirectly it pro-1 benefit performance. by Rev. J. H. Davis of the Presbyte rian Church who in an able manner depicted the characters of Gen. Rob ert E. Lee and of Stonewall Jackson as stalwart Christian gentlemen and brave, daring military geniuses. The Old Fort High School has or ganized individual litertary societies, one for each grade. The meetings are held every two weeks with an in structor supervising. The programs, which are posted one month in ad vance, are also prepared under teacher supervision. The picture offered by the Wom an’s Club for the grade selling the greatest number of tickets to the Scenes at a motes and safeguards public morals. It started all the stir there has been in China. It was the awakening pow er in India and Japan. It conserves the peace and happiness of the com munity. It promotes honest, progres sive and beneficent government. It does the most to promote the senti ments of love, brotherly kindness and good neighborhood. It does the most to promote clean, strong, brave, self-sacrificing and efficient citizens and public servants. It does the most to make and maintain the home as a place of virtue, love, righteousness, comfort and happiness. It sympathiz es with the weak, the wronged and oppressed and pleads for social jus tice more than any other institution. It stands almost universally and un compromisingly for the right and against the wrong. It brings to all classes and conditions of people the best and most comforting and hope- j inspiring messages regarding their ■ sorrows, their sufferings and what all must face—death. The aim of the Church is to proclaim the gospel throughout the whole world. Give the Church your best service. Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for it. Live by the Church, stand by the Church and die by the Church.— Selected. Union Station Thirty Years Ago,” was won by the sixth grade. In turn this grade has expressed a willing ness to present the prize to the audi torium, the walls of which have not yet been decorated with appropriate pictures. HER DEAREST WISH If you have never heard Helen Keller, you have yet to receive one of the noblest inspirations of your life. This marvelous young woman, deaf and blind, and for most of her life, dumb also, is now able to hear with her fingers and to speak almost as well as other persons. The address I heard her give the other day was evidently impromptu, but it was full of careful thought, afld there was no hesitation for a word, and there are few practised orators that can use the English language so beauti fully and effectively. But what impressed me most was her answers to questions, and tspec- ially to one question. With her sensi tive hand placed lightly on the ques tioner’s face she felt the changed ex pression caused by each word, and so read the questions as clearly and as swiftly as we could hear them. • The answer that moved me most HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club held its regular meeting Friday, January 11, when the constitution drawn up by the committee was read and adopted. The club will be known as the Pan and Needle Club. The objectives will be: To promote healthy girlhood; to create a greater interest in home economics in the community by cor relating school and home work; to give each member a broader concep tion of home economics; to keep members better informed on present day home economics work. The con stitution provides that the officers shall be elected the first month of school, and that the club meet twice each month on Friday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock.

Better a salary of $10 a week with $2 saved out of it than $50 with expenditures of $55. The difference between success and failure is just that. It measures the contrast between living on a part of last month's income and spending next month’s before you get it. You can make ten thousand resloutions to cut ex penses and save, but you won’t until you get an incen tive stronger than the things you have been frittering money away on. That powerful incentive is a bank book. Get one, not next week, but NOW, at THE BANK OF OLD FORT OLD FORT, N. C. All Hats on Sale New and Attractive Styles. Metalic Hats. Onyx Pointex Hose.

Look out Rhododendron Grove PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Last Sunday in speaking on “The Mission of the Church,” the preacher laid stress upon the fact that the specific work of the church as an in stitution of divine origin was not po litical nor educational nor reforma tory, but redemptive. And that the mission of the church as such a re demptive agent was three-fold: 1st, reply to the question, “Helen, To bring souls to Christ by preaching ' the gospel of salvation through a Sa- was in if you could have your wish, what would you wish for?” Miss Keller’s eloquent face was thoughtful for an instant, while all of us wondered what she would say. Surely it would be that she could have all her senses, like other per son’s. But no; that was far from her thought, for her face lighted up, her arms were flung out in eagerness, and she replied, “World peace and brotherhood r’ No wonder the large audience burst into hearty applause. When Helen Keller’s dearest wish becomes the dearest wish of all Christians, it will surely be granted. That is the kind of prayer for which God has no negative. SAY IT WITH COOS He—“There is something dove- like about you.” She—“You flatterer.” He—“Yes, you’re pigeon-toed.”— Judge.
