J. Parts Co. I B ' WEST JEFFERSON ,N. C. B I Harrisburg freight line. Three 350-ton electric engines, hauling as many freight trains, ground to a stop last night at the town of Peach Bottom, Pa., when hoards of the May flies swarmed over the trains. For several hours, train crews toiled to clear away swarms of the monoplane - shap ed insects which covered the box cars, clogged the overhead power and defiantly short-circuited mo tors. “Halting three trains at once was a new record for the fragile ephemerida in their traditional mid-summer death struggle with the railroad Three steam locomotives were dispatched to the rescue. The helper engines pushed two striken trains to Har risburg and the third to Port Deposit, myriads of the inch-long insects still clinging triumphantly to their perches.” Long ago an ancient prophet wrote, “Who hath despised the day of small things?” While we think we’re in the days of great things, it is still the small things which matter most. Let’s don’t forget that. Here the thousands of inch-long insects frustrating the mighty power of three hugh electric locomotives. Our government will stand or fall depending upon the small thing of thousands of intelligent individual votes. Let no man say his wife doesn’t matter. It is de mocracy, and especially Christian democracy which exalts the place of the individual man and the in dividual vote. The success or failure of your business depends upon small things, small profits. Some of the greatest merchandising institu tions in the country today are those which depend upon nickels and dimes for their existence. The success of your home de pends upon small things—little words of praise and appreciation, little acts of kindness, courtesy and love. Your own individual destiny de penus upon small tnmgs. One un forgiven sin marks you as a sin ner heading for Hell, unless for given. One act of turning to Christ for torgiveness marks you for Eternal Lite here and here after in Heaven. Don't despise small things nor disregard tnem. They’re more important than you tnink. You should be able to remember those lines by Julia A. Fletcher Con ney, taught you as a child. “Little drops of water, little grains of sand, make the mighty ocean and the pleasant land. So the little moments, humble though they be, make the mighty ages of eternity Little deeds of kindness, little words of love. Help to make earth happy like the heaven above.” There are still many culls in North Carolina laying flocks that should be taken out. THE SKYLAND POST, WEST JEFFERSON.N. C. RECENT BRIDE ; imfc.
