VISITS UNION CHURCH SECTION Seaiboaid MK LINE BALLWAY The Rev. DeWitte F. Helm, sup ply pastor of the Presbyterian church at Saltville, Va., and members of the senior class of Union Theolo gical Seminary in Richmond was a recent visitor in the Union church community. muiiztxm Directors I. C. Sledge Walker Taylor, Jr. O. H. Stutts H. D. Vail R. S. Tufts Walker Taylor A. P. Thompson J. F. Taylor In the A. M. E. Church at West Southern Pines an exhibit was given last Friday under the direction of the pastor, the Rev. W. A. Cooper, which showed some striking evidences of skill in drawing and painting by a group of young folks, as well as the skill of the pastor in this field. Some thing like 75 pictures were hung on the walls of the basement of the church, covering a wide choice of subjects, every one the work of the colored children or of their" pas tor, who is carrying on a class in drawing among the young people of his flock. Mention has been made in The Pi lot of his work, but he had one or two new pieces in the group which were much appreciated by the audience that from time to time dropped in to see what was there to offer. The work shown by the children is really the striking features of the display. Un der the instruction of the artist- clergyman the boys and girls for about ten weeks have been studying and predicting, with the result that several of the creations are of unus ual merit. Three or four heads by Vivian Steele and Edna Bethea show ed remarkable skill for girls of around 15 years, especially as their time of training is less than three months. Some of the portrait work by these young colored folks is astonishingly able, representing the efforts of ten or more of the class. A fruit collec tion would have been creditable to older workers or longer training, while some animal life is equally commendable. Some of the white visitors who saw the exhibit suggested to the pastor to arrange for a display of the work of his class over in some prominent place in Southern Pines a little later, which met with his approval. He also says that interested persons will al ways be welcome to call at his house“| not far from the Methodist church, j which is on the Pennsylvania avenue j extension, and at his house most of | the- pictures are hung on the Avails or i are available for observation in other ways. The expression of opinion by those who saw the collection is that the trip over to the church was de cidedly worth while. g SAFETY FIRST Cool weather will soon call for putting the heat ing fumace, stove or fireplace back into use. Before doing that make sure, chimneys, flues, pipe and stacks are thoroughly cleaned of soot, nests of birds and squirrels, and all smoke pipes are in good repair. Fail ure to do this has caused many disastrous fires. Our services in inspecting and making recommenda tion are yours for the asking. Thone 3272. MID-SOUTH LNSURANCE AGENCY L. L.

And he might have added that all that time folks will be looking about for the most agreeable place to make a home. ^ That would have led him up to more discussion of the subject, which would have brought out the fact that on Weymouth Heig-hts, the summit overlooking Southern Pines and all the country round for miles, is the place that will always be acceptable, always con venient, and always a community of excellent neighbors.
