W It snowed Monday morning.!
But it didn-tJay long. It wa's
raining at the same time and
the snow melted nearly as fast
as it fell, save a little about on
the roofs of the houses. We
all love to see the snow 'fall:
There's an attraction about it
Perhaps it is the pleasant asso
ciation it has with our child
ish davs. ( "N o insinuation
about anybody's age, not even
our own.) w e remember
when the snow falls,, how,
when little kids at school, we
snow balled each other, and,
perhaps, it got so "hot", that
a fight would follow; and then
the teacher would try his "rod
of correction" just to take out
a little of the chill, you know.
And then the sliding down the
hill on .planks and so forth
brings back fond memories of
frost bitten toes, aching fin
gers and broken noses. We
all love to think of those times,
even though pur heads be
white with the'weight of years.
We may say, 'Oh, pshaw; I
dread the snow" but still we
are glad when the snow falls.

Card of Thanks.
Mr. ditor: Will you give me space
to express the gratitude and thanks of
inyself and family to the good people
of Wilkesboro for the very substantial
.manner in which they gave expression
of their gratitude to God for His abun
dant goodness to them during the past
year. On last Thursday night a larere
delegation of them literally took the
Manse by storm. On the wings of the
storm (by no means destructive) was
borne, bright faces,, happy hearts and
hands laden with everything for the
gratification of the inner man. The
occupants tf the manse can now eniov
froasttarkey;, chicken' salad and sauces
of ail sorts, with pumpkin pie -for de-
hsert, afterwards flavored with the "Best
Havannas. "
J Oar entire house-hold returns sin
cere thanks. May God's richest bless
ings be upon all giving them that de
gree tr prosperity which He deems best
and those spiritual comforts which lie
alone can bestow. .
