THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK God give us men! The time de mands strong minds, great hearts, true, and willing hands: Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whc^have honor; men who \viM not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn their treacherous fath ers without winking; Tall men. sun-crowped, who five above the fog In public duty and in private thinking, For whiie the rabble with their thumb-worn creeds, Their large professions and their little deeds, Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Free dom weeps! Wrong rules the land, and wait ing justice sleeps. -j. G. Holland. MRS. LEA BEGINS A T SOCIAL COLUMN We are pleased to announce to day that Mrs. J. H.

ALAMANCE AND CASWELL EAT SUTPBR TOGETHER (Continued from Pago 1) -Jo__ building, and the piano pulled out on the front porch. Mrs. Robert Branntwk; a recent bride, the wife of I^r Robert Brannock. of Burlington, took her seat at the piano And how she did make that music ^ox talk! Mr. Barrow, a merchant of Rur lington, took his baton and step ped out on the porch to lead the assemblage in a few Kiwanian pong* And he made them go good Under his leadership the whole crowd got a bit hilarious, and rattled off the rollicking aongs with glee. . Dr. Ellington, president oi the Burlington Kiwanians. then took the gave! and became the master of ceremonies. He called on a number of local and visiting cele brities and near-celebrities for two-minute speeches. The breth ren responded with gracious and words. Some of them how to spice up their re with delicious humor. of the two Gray, of the Department, - was called upon fot the piece de resistance He was booked up as the main show of the occasion. But by the time he had to!d hia introductory joke the rain set m and the crowd had to get inside of the hot budding. When they were in Dr. Gray turned !oose on the attentive hearers. And what he told them was a plenty, j Dr. Gray is from Macon county, a way up in the Blue Ridge. He is Somewhat a giant as to phy sique. And if ye humble scribe is anything of a judge of intel lectual power this man Gray is somewhat of a giant in mentality. If Caswell could turn a man like this a loose on its agricultural problems for about twelve months he would work wadders. o C. C Fonville, of Burlington, was one of the promoters of this Kiwanian pilgrimage. Mr. Fon ville's mother-was from Caswell. He says the interests of Alamance and Caswell are more or less identical, and that he would %e to see the two counties co-operat ing a little better. And when Claud Fonville starts to bpild he doesn't stop till he puts the roof an the house. And that must be the spirit of all of those burly, Burlington boys or they couldn't have built the "bigger, better Burlington,"! which stands as a monument to somebody's energy and intelli gence. Burlington didn't just grow up by itself It was hard work and not magic that made it. The Castvell folk& say the latch string is always on the outside to that hunch of Burlington boost ers. - LOCUST LANE Hi!) Roberts and son. Henry Thomas. visited Mr. ami Alr^- E. !'.
