Mount Pleasant, Dec. 10.—Many friends mourn with Prof, and Mrs. G. F. McAllister the loss of their little nine-year-old son, Grady, whose tragic and untimely death occurred Tuesday noon. * The funeral services were held in Holy Trinity Lutheran Church at 10:30 a. m. today. A brief service, which was held at the home, consisted of the singing “Sometime We’ll Un derstand,” by Miss Ada Stirewalt. and scripture reading and prayer by Reg. R. A. Goodman. Following the serv ice at home, and under military escort by the Cadet Corps of the Collegiate Institute, the body was removed to the church/ Addresses were delivered by Rev. C. L. T. Fisher. Rev. R. A. Goodman and Rev. J. L. Morgan. D. D. The many timely quotations from scripture, by the speakers, and their | interpretation of those passages, madei the service both beautiful and comfort- j ing. Impressive music was rendered j by Miss ltda Stirewalt and Mrs. Roy Kimbaljjfwhen. at one time, they sang J n duet, “Safe in the Arms of Jesus,” ] and again when Mrs. Kimball sang a solor. “Prayer Perfect.” The body was interred in the family j plot in the Lutheran cemetery. Upon arrival at the cemetery, the Cadet Corps formed a line on either side of the walk, from the sfreet out to the grave. They stood at salute as the body, followed by members of the family, was borne between the line* to the grave. The burial service was made most impressive when the choir sang “Around the Throne of God in Heaven.*’ and when the M. P. C. I. bugler sounded “taps.” Several little boys, who were his classmates in the local graded school, served as flower boys. A profusion of beautiful flowers, made up in many designs, was received. The active pall bearers were Messrs. Ben. Joe Banks, George W., and Her mon. McAllister, and James and Mack Misenheiraer, all cousins of the de-■ ceased. He is survived bv his father. Prof. G. F. McAllister, head of the Col legiate Institute; his mother, three j little sisters, and one little brother— : and a host of friends. The little fellow was known and | loved by every cadet in M. P. C. I. j And ho knew and loved all the cadets. He had come to be one of the boy*, j They had come to regard him as one of their .number. He wore the uni- J form of the school, and oftentimes drilled with the boys. The cadets | and others frequently commented upon his display of interest in the drill. Regardless of color or creed, ev erybody seemed to be Grady’s friends. That fact was emphasized so forcibly j by who came to mourn his loss and express their sympathy. It is not saying too much to say that the little village of Mt. Pleasant has experienced * a veritable baptism of narrow. as a result of this tragedy. The little boy was so lovable and friendly—so manly and ncble. To know him was to love him. New K of P. Officers The following officers were elected for Concord No. 51 K. of P.: W. R. Fisher. C. C.

THIEVES LOOT GARAG& OF MISS KRIMMINGER Remove Everything Removable and Then Some.—One Bolt Remaining on Generator. Thieves recently made a good job of looting the garage of Miss Pearl ] Krimminger in No. 11 Town ship. Not content with removing ev j erything movable inside the garage I and on the Ford car owned by Miss j Krimminger, they proceeded to take' | some of the parts of the automobile j generally classed as stationary. I First and foremost, the radiator was j removed. It was not only removed but lit was carried off. in toto. A little' further back, an attempt was made to I tek * the generator. This, however, ! was unsuccessful but every bolt In it with one exception was removed. | All the tools were stolen, the rear Cftsing and other parts of the oar were carried away. It so happened that the car had not been used for several days and i when Miss Krimminger went ont to drive her automobile away, she dis covered it in its dismantled condition. According to Miss Krimminger, n [ crime wave * has been sweepiug the t sectiofcof the county in No. 11.

VENUS II 6F KANNAFOLI^ A Burlesque of (be Social Prowlnouts ' of Kannapolis. KannapolU. Dec. 11..—Veaus has ’ booked "passage to Europe and will < sail from New York December 17th. , So this will be the last you will hear . from 4s until our return to Kannapo lis about March 15th. So dear, read- ! 4i*i. we wish you all a merry Qhrist- ' mas and beg your indulgence until our < ip turn. .( An editor's life is an* hard one. , mimeone is always jnmpin on you for ( abniethin. Ed Sharpe is still harpin’ jjbout that miserable ole pie social and ami it gets cn our nerves. Good ' previous! W> didn't have anything < to do with the decision but simply , gave it in as an item of news. The ( committee consisting of D. A. Jolley, Jim Taylor, and Tom Widenhouae de- ' cidtil that Alliaon was the champion ' pie cater, and that’s all there is to i it. The committee stated, however, * thai Allison and Sharpe were neck ( and neck in the race but owing to the fact that some of tbe pies were ' too juicy and run over the plates, it * was hard to decide. But of course , ihen two ride on a horse one must , jridc behind so in this case. Mr. Sharpe had a hind seat. Gee whig! VVe don't see any sense in making such a fuss about it and hope this will end the matter. We are gettin’ Bred of it. Here is a letter we got Wednes- * day : i Salisbury. R. 4, Dec. 8, 1925. < Venus, of Kannapolis: 1 , New look Imre, Venus, about that potato Bert Durham raised. That was either a typographical error or • else just a dern lie. 1 have known Bert Durham ever since he was a little boy and know that Bert couldn't even raise a disturbance, saying noth ing about a potato weighing 9 pounds ' 4 ounces. I enjoy your items very ' much but don't give us any more of < that potato stuff. , Yours triy. K. ADAMS. D A. Stone, the veteran bookkeeper ’ of K nnapolis, is the swiftest moving j • man in the city. He loses on an , average of six coat tails a week, . snapped off going around corners. Mrs Stone hasn't beet), to the’Aid So ciety for several weeks on account of * having to sew on so many coat tails. • Sam Query has a bald spot on the , top of his bead and the other day while he/was setting reading a whole lot of flies were apimrently holding ' a basket picnic on his bald spot. Anyway were playing all kinds . of games, hide and seek, leap frog, nud everything. Sam didn’t seem to miml it all but pretty soon a mos quite lit on him and bit him and that mndv him mad and he said, “Now. just for that you will all get off.” The latest from Washington is to the effect that the post office depart ment is contemplating establishing a rule requiring all postmasters to wear a uniform of white with black sash and red cap. Wouldn’t our own Eci Lady look cute? The funniest thing that ever hap penod in Kannapolis was the big Mother Goose entertainment held last Tuesday night. Miss Harriett Orr -ang a song with a bantam rooster cn her shoulder. Chick DeMarous and Jennie Atwood were Jack and .Till. Chick had to stumble down with a pail of water. E. J. Sharpe was little Boy Blue and had/to blow a horn. Dr. Frank Flowe was Jaek He Nible. Jack BE Quick. He had to jump over a sandlestick. But the climax with which nearly everybody Heavily busted with laster was when John Carpenter recited “Mary Had a Lft tie Lamb” with variations. The wluyle enfertaiuient was a side split ter.' The proceeds went to the Wom an's Club to buy Christmas stock ing*. Miss Chapman, our popular millin i er, says poke bonnets are still hold i ing their own and will be tfie spring siylg. Thistle down will be the rage for spring color. Little girls will wear Cinderella hats. In visiting outside towns Venus is often asked about the two big Y. M. C. A's in Kannaixflis. Some i outsiders seem to think the Cannon 1 Y is a branch of Cabarrus Y. but this ■ is not so. While the two Y's work together in perfect harmony each is independent of the other and. 'nave separate charters from the national I association. John S. Carpenter is 1 general secretary of Cabarrus Y. M. C. A., and E. J. Slmiqie is general secretary of Cannon V. M. C. A. When Kannaiwdis Y is mentioned it • means that both Y's are participants, I but when one Y does something alone J it is designated as Cabarrus Y or { Cannon Y. j Tom Tliunib got tnarried at Cen | tru) High School Wednesday night i an# a whole lot of people went to ] t'no Weddin’. Mrs. Jap Lowe played | tha funeral march. - Yesterday when we were out with | our note book and pencil we heard | a story about a well known woman j who resides on South Main street who should take a correspondence course in pie making. A tramp called at her door for a lunch and she gave him a piece of pie on condition that he saw some wood. In a few miuutes I he returned witft a bite taken out of the pie and said: ’“lf it is just the same >o you. madam. I will eat the | wood aud saw the pie.’’ Can you guess the uaiHe of the woman? The first sending the right name to Venus wilt receive three cocoanuts and a hag of ptnk gumdrops. Fool | son pul In way is all the rage in Kannapolis nowadays. The latest was tliq pompomnullaway party held by tlide Woman s Club Thursday after noon on the South School campus, lira. Saunders and Mrs. Yost earry ling off the highest honors.
