THE PILOT Friday, March 7, I924 Page Two PINEHURST The death of Mr. Emery Smith which occurred in the early morning hours of February 23rd, has caused genuine sorrow and regret over the entire Sandhills, as he was one of the most splendid as well as prominent citizens of Moore county, and his loss will be keenly felt over this entire sec tion of the State. Mr. Smith has liv ed in Moore county all of his life, be ing born here 53 years ago, and even in the early years of his Mfe develop ed remarkable mental as well as moral strength, and in his young manhood came to be a leader of men and in af fairs of importance. He soon made for himself a place in the develop ment of the Sandhills and had much to do with the shaping of the future in the county in which he lived so splendidly, and although he had the highest respect and confidence of all who knew him, his splendid worth was not fully appreciated until it was known that he received from his mak er the “well done,” and had answered the final call which comes to all. His death came as a surprise to all as he was only sick from Monday morning until Saturday morning at 4 o’clock. But all that human love and skill could conceive was done for him by physicians, loved ones and friends, which he literally numbered by his ac quaintances, but all in vain. He was not only a splendid business man, be ing the best posted peach authority in the State, also having other extensive bu siness interests, but he was an ideal citizen, a man who put home and fam ily and civic interest above money, and he and his wife not only had ideal home life but of their 13 children, 12 of those surviving him 3 daughters and 9 sons—splendid young women and men who are growing up to take important places of trust in the busi ness world. He demonstrated through his life the great power of influence for good exerted even in his own fam ily. Mr. Smith’s death seems particular ly sad, as he was still a man in the prime of his life. More than 20 years ago at an early age he obeyed the di vine command: “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth while the evil days come not nor the years draw nigh when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.” He gave his heart to God and joined the Bap tist Church at Center, near Camden, where he has been an honored con sistent member for many years. There he was buried, and there all that is mortal of him remains. But his brave loyal spirit has answered the sum mons: “Well done thou good and faith ful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many. Enter into the joy of thy reward.” The entire family have the sincere sympathy of both Moore and Mont gomery counties in the loss of this splendid Christian citizen. The beautiful exhibit of the Cross Nore School, of hand woven and hand made articles as well as derss, shirt and sport suit materials, being made by Miss Marjorie Brown, is creating quite a good deal of interest at the department store where the manage ment of the dry goods department so kindly gave space for this most im portant educational work which de serves so much consideration. Not only are these articles very reason ably priced and very beautiful but each dollar cleared from the sales of these goods go to educating mountain boys and girls which is not only a worthy but a most needed cause, go ing to these future citizens who have not the money or opportunity of them selves to procure an education. This school is situated at Cross Nort, N. C., 60 miles from Asheville, and was built from the money derived from selling old clothes which were the gifts of women from all over the State. Miss Brown remains here through the season and will take pleasure in showing her display of hand made articles. Polo at Pinehurst for the week-end was State-wide, as the Charlotte and Winston-Salem teams furnished two of the three games played. Friday afternoon the Sandhill Blues and Greens met with two men from Fort Bragg, making out the Green team. It was a hard fought match but the Sandhill Blues won. On Saturday the Charlotte and Winston-Salem teams met for two games, Winston-Salem winning the first and Charlotte the second games. Rev. George Hanna and family mo tored over to Gastonia Monday for a visit to relatives. Friends of Miss Margaret Kelly are sorry to learn of her sickness. Mrs. Dan Hall has recovered from her recent illness. The Race program Wednesday af ternoon will be featured with a mati nee special between Mr. H. M. Ding- ley and Mrs. R. R. Littlefield of Maine. HYMNS Southern Pines Warehouses INCORPORATED SOUTHERN PINES, N. C. (By Mrs. J. McK. Harrington) It is well for one who dwells upon the heights in the realm of intelli gence to some times come down on the plains with those of smaller in telligence, for nothing so helps along this old world like a “good mixer.” The “Hymns Column” in “Incidental ly,” in Sunday’s News and Observer, has touched the hearts of many be cause hymns are human, and the out pourings of the souls that are immor tal. What memories they bring to us! ' How many are dear to us from as sociation. There are the hymns that mother loved to sing. I remember the hymns my mother loved, and when she grew aged and could no longer sing, she would repeat them from memory. | Now that she has passed over the | river she has regained her voice, and 1 sings the songs she loved, in the New Jerusalem. I sometimes think I hear her singing. Then, there are the hymns that tear at our very heart | strings—the hymns that are sung over | the caskets of those we loved so dear- i ly. We would rather not hear them | again. It is like tearing anew a | wound that has partly healed. Not | far from Lakeview, possibly in the ‘ town, it may be, is a place now known | as the Stevens place. In the days of 1 the Old South and years after, it was I the home of a devout man—a Christi-1 an—by name John A. McLeod. He was a widower, and lived with his I three daughters, Lydia, Elizabeth and Martha. The Civil War had claimed his only son, and took about every thing else he had except his religion. When he conducted Sunday School at Reedy branch school house, I never remembered hearing him give out any hymn to be sung but one. “Why should the children of the King go mourning all their days.” As a child was quite fond of visiting at that home. The girls were so kind and hospitable; so full of life. The house was immaculately kept. I enjoyed be ing in that clean home. I loved to je the big feather beds, the white woven counterpanes, and embroider ed woolen bed spreads, the pillow cases trimmed with tatting, the white fringed table cloth. I loved the clean I stop in and see the solid car of MOULDING MATE RIAL that arrives this week from Denmark, South Car- olina, mills.
