Armistice Day should be a day cf serious contemplation and of re 'newed consecration. No words could more fittingly des cribe the proper attitude of our hearts and minds than fcund in the memorable address cf President Lincoln in his Gettisburg address. "It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which thfey who fought there Have thus far 3D nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task befire us ? that frcm these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full meas ure of devotion; that we hate h?gWy )%<??! ve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under G' d, shall have a new birtn of; freedom; nlnd that government of the people, for the people, shall not perish from the ear*h." It is a grave question as to whe ther Democ racy can survive cr not. It is only when the will of God . be comes the will of men that men can live at peace with men. Sunday School 10:15 A. M. R. L.

MILLIOH DOllARS FOR HOSPITALS < The Fund la To Help Build and Support Hospitals In Every County in N. </. CHAIRMAN <T G.

Allen, of New Ycrk, chairman of the board of trustees of the Duke Endowment, said while in Durham last week. The princi pal method of distribution is on the basis of $1 per day per charity pa tient in hospitals cf the States, if I this does net use up the income, then the Endowment 'fund wilt assist communities, counties or other groups j in building hospitals, but will not j build them entirely, Mr. Allen said. !

Tom Want* More Local News Our good friend, Thomas Frazier, wants more local news in The l!ou- I :ier4 and ffca offers the following wise suggestions. First class news, ?ix( eight and ten Jines v^ill certain much good news, and- if ihe tvw<W* ut -Xk? [ C- urter would give a short news items from their neighborhood then ! you would see The 'Gpuriex in full! bloom with news. If a farmer re ceive? a big price for some firte to bacco that would be a good cue; if] a mail captures a wild turkey, that's j a good cne; if you capture, a wild1 deer, that's a dandy. Let some of the good farmer? who make big rpps cf corn repcrt the number cf bar--' rols made; let some of. the farmers tell aboui their big potatoes and turnips; let some of the firme-s r give the number of gallons of mo- j lasses made, and if their is a mar riage be sure and report it. Now f:r the town people: When: your friends from other tewns visit you always give that to the local editor, for she will take pleasure in printing it. And just before Christ mas we hope to see a good many , little beys and fills telling Santa Ctaus what they want him to bring | tHem.
