TWENTY YEARS AGO (The Shuttle) Twenty years ago--Nobody swat ted the fly; nobody wore wrist watches; nobody wore white shoes; farmers came to town for their mail; the hired girl received $1.50 a week and was happy; the butcher threw in a chunk of liver; the merchant threw in a pair of suspenders with every suit; nobody listened in on the tele phone. To which we will add: Mill people worked eleven hours a day for $1 ; worked sixty-six hours a week for $6; every employe cleaned off his or her machinery; if ten minutes' time was lost, 20 or 30 were made up; was docked or discharged for im perfect work; drank water from fil thy buckets; no dipper or gourd was sweet voice, "My Dear," and "I Love You Truly," Mrs. Mary Lester Mar shall presiding at the piano. Master K. H. Hardin, Jr., dressed in a white serge suit, was the ring bearer. Thel bridal couple entered to the strains! of lohrengrin and the recessional I was Mendelsson. The bride wore a traveling cos tume of navy blue Tricotine with ac cessories to match and carried a bo quet of brides' roses. Mrs. Hendrix wore blue Tricotine with a corsage of yellow chrysanthemums. The gown of Mrs. Marshall was wisteria satin with white chrysanthemums. The mother of the bride gowned in black silk taffeta. After the ceremonv all retired to the dining room, where the color j used by a whole department; there were no cement sidewalks; no. electric-lighted or screened houses no running water; no hospitals, nurser ies or kindergartens; no district nurses or community workers; no Y. M. C A's, no swimming pools nor skating rinks; no friendship between 1 Capital and Labor; no divisions of dividends no bonuses! Still there are same people who continually sigh for the "good old times" of long ago! Good Lord, we thank thee for To day! WHOLESALE THEFTS FROM THE EXPRESS COMPANY Indictments have been made by the Federal grand jury at Macon, (Jo., against 64 ' express messengers, agents, railroad men and others charged with embebblement, theft, and so forth. The American Railway Express Company has filed blanket chargo against the sixty-four men, purport ing that over 11,180,722.94 worth of goods had been stolen in the South during the past six months. The express company charges that the men had formed an organization and had as their password, "Will he ride?" The reply was, "Yes, he will ride." This was sufficient evidence that the party so addressed was ia good standing and could be relied on to enter into a transaction for the disposal of stolen property. READ OUR WANT AD PAGE.

Our enterprising Edison men of Boone, Messers. Greene and Bing ham, have been entertaining their friends in town with music through the new invention, the "Magnavex," by .means of which it is reported the President spoke to r0,000 people. They are planning to use it to an nounce the election news on Tues day evening. Give the preachers Ana otner noDie workers the "Man avex." Rev. R. D. Cross, who was pastor of the Baptist church in Boone a few years ago, has donated to the Train ing School library nearly 400 vol mns of his splendid library. This is indeed worthy of the highest -commendation in Brother Cross and the School desires to express its great appreciation of his generosity. This is a deed worthy of emulation. A meeting has been in progress at the Baptis tchurch since, the first of the past week under the direction of Rev. Fred Bower, pastor of the Bap tist church of Morganton, who has been doing some very plain, strong, sensible preaching. I say sensible, because he is preaching the Word, whic any really sensible preacher will do. Mr. Bower ha been com ing to the Training School at chapel exurrt-isps each day and making very neiptui talks. Many of the students have expressed themselves for a bet ter life, and on Saturday five con secrated themselves to special work as the Lord might call them. At the church quite a number have pledged themselves to the higher life and a yUnvflly number have joined the church. One of the important feat ures of the. meeting is Mrs. Bower's beautiful, heartsearching singing, sometimes assisted by her husband. At the recent Methodist Confer ence, at Salisbury, Rev. J. R. Wal ker, who has done such excellent twork here the past year, was sent to the Rock Springs charge and Rev. G. C. Brinkman comes to Beene as pas tor for the next year. The people regret to see Mr. Walker leave, but will loyally receive and stand by Brother Brinkman in the great work that is to be done here.
