A full the earth and whose only bond of line of "Blue Bird" Candies will at union is their langugae. The item social; The attractive suburban home of Mrs. J. Harper BealL was the scene of a unique social event Thursday, Oct 21, when this gracious hostess entertained the Wise and Otherwise Club and many guests in honor of her sister, Mrs. Miller, of Rock Hill, S. C. We were reminded that the sub ject for the afternoon's study was "Gypsies" by seeing Virginia Beall and Susie Rogers Bizzell picturesque ly dressed as little gypsy girls, re ceiving at the door with Mrs. Beall. The reception rooms were bright with flowers so varied in color one might easily imagine a care-free gyp sy maid had gathered them to satisfy her love for gay colors. While the dining room, with its hanging baskets of flowers and profusion of dahlias, let one's imagination drift still closer to the out of doors, and happy gyp sies gathering flowers. Mrs. Covington, presiding with her accustomed charming ease of man ner, asked that the minutes be read and books exchanged. Then Mrs. Bizzell read a long, instructive ar ticle about Gypsies; also some beau tiful verses entitled "The Gvpsy Trail." Mrs. Mary Gwyn read a poem, and a poem, "October," was also read by Mrs. Covington. Mrs. Seagle read extracts relative to a Gypsy girl from "The Little Minister." Mrs. Reid gave two interesting readings, "The Egg Episode" and "Going to the Circus," found in Gyp sy Smith's autobiography.

The need for such an establishment has been ob vious for sometime now that cars are so numerous. Mr. W. P. Hooker, of Salisbury has announced that he will come to Lenoir on November, 15th and open a Battery Service Station in the Mil ler building on North Main Street. Mr. Hooker was trained for this branch of Automobile work in the factory of one of the best known Batteries in America and has for sometime been connected with one of the largest Garages in the State, so that he will, no doubt, be found quite competent to give entirely satisfactory service in his undertak ing here. Lenoir is glad to welcome this new business enterprise here, and feels that Mr. Hooker is doing some thing which will work to the great good both of himself and the town. one witn a that way. sweet tooth, to stray SETSER-BUSH A wedding of interest to readers of the Lenoir News-Topic was con summated on Oct. 7 at 1 o'clock in the old Stone church at Cleveland, Ohio, when Miss Carrie Luola Bush, (laughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Z. f Mr. Ralph Setser, son of Mr. and Bush of Hudson, became the bride Mrs. T.

PRAISE PEOPLE OF GRANITE FALLS To the Editor: Please allow me space to speak a word of praise of the people of Granite Falls, N. C. A little more than a year ago the condition of my wife's health, together with my church work, made it seem necessary for me to leave Oak Hill community in Little River township and move to Granite Falls. I was loath to leave there, partly on account of the splendid high school conducted by Prof. T. E. Story, one of the best teachers in the State, and partly on account of the good neighbors and strong ties of friendship among the membership of Union church and community, among whom it had been my privilege to labor so long, and wondered if it would be possible to locate again among a people so kind and so true. But to my delight I find the people of Granite Falls equally kind and helpful. Members of Central church in East Granite are a noble people and their fellow ship and oneness of thought is a de light to their pastor's heart and makes it possible for a still greater work in the future. In the early spring they made our hearts glad when they remembered Mrs. Shaver in her affliction with a nice purse to aid her in going to the hospital. Also the ladies of the church at Granite gave her a nice shower party. And then Sept. 25 last, upon the arrival of the remains of our son, Charlie D. Shaver, who died in France Oct. 12, 1918, and the funeral service at Antioch church Sept. 2G, the day following, the spirit of sympathy and helpfulness so unanimously express ed. All these things not only cause pleasant thoughts to chase each other but to linger in the mind even in the stillness of the night, and to feel that it is good to dwell among such a People. J. M. SHAVER. NORTH ADROLINA CARING FOR MAY CHILDREN Recent reports to the effect that officials of the Near East Relief ex pended relief funds for entertain ment purposes in Constantinople have been branded as false, accord ing to announcement by State Chair man George H. Bellamy, who has re ceived full information of actual facts from V. O. Vickery, general secretary. , The report originated from the prosecution by th eNear East Relief 01 seven employes who were caught stealing supplies from the warehouse, stated Chairman Bellamy, and these men noto are awaiting trial after nearly all of the $20,000 worth of stolen property has been recovered. "In view of the upkeep and adop tion of 3,334 Armenian orphans by North Carolina I think it my duty to explain to the people that there is nothing to the reports of extrav agance," said Chaimran Bellamy.- Instead of allowing any waste, the Near East Relief now is caring for nu.uuu orpnans who are located in 229 orphanages. Mor ethan $50, 000,000 of cash and supplies have been administered, and today 500, 000 people are living solely because the American people responded to the Armenian and Syrian cry for help. "It will be interesting to the peo ple of North Carolina to know that the 3,334 orphans adopted by the State are gradually learning at the Trebizond orphanage that their lives were saved by Tar Heels."

MOVES OFFICES Mr. J. L.
