THE CO-OPERATION
Of Farmers & Merchants In Growing
and Selling County Products,
Fruits and Vegetables
While the several visits to school
houses throughout the county did not
result in as many enthusiastic mem

work to have a sufficient number and 1

APPRECIATION
To the friends of de.noristration
work I wish to take this opportunity
to express my heartfelt thanks for
the hearty cooperation you have given
me the two years I have been with
you. And while I have not done as
much as I should liked to have done,
yet I trust that I have given value
received and that you who are really
interested in the development of your
county will continue the cooperative
spirit that it has been my endeavor
to teach. The welfare of the farmer
is tied up in organization, and until
this principal is realized you will not
come into possession of what is right
fully yours. The adage, "United we
stick, divided we are stuck" is very

to be saved from its penalty, from its

regards Christ's work for us it is an
accomplishment, a process, and an as
surance. As regards the offices of
Jesus' salvation is wrought out for
us by Him as Prophet, as Priest, and

is the great source from which sal
vation flows to us. Some one has
defined grace as God coming into a
"Ife in such a measure as to nu-et
every need of thnt life. Accepting
thi- definition we see that grace fully
provides the salvation that man needs,
lie needs salvation from the sins of
the past sin's penalty; he needs sal
vation fro .vi the sins of the present
sin's power; he reeds salvation from
sins of the future- sin'- presence.
Grace meets these needs bv giving
; Jesus to die on the cross to save from
! sin's penally; by giving the Holy
j Spirit t0 indwell and iniiil the believ-
: ( r to save him from sin's power; an;

I. GRACE BRINGS SALVATION.
Man's primary need is salvation from
sill's penalty, which, of course, is j
death. Provision for this was made
on Cavalry's cross. Grace brings this
to man', and offers it to him freely.
Salvation from the penalty of sin be

work of regeneration. Regeneration

Lenoir county will furnish the
Speaker this year m the person of ,
former an,; representative-elect John j
G. Dawson. That much is settled al
ready, for no opposition of conse
quence has developed to the Dawson
candidacy. Alex Lassiter goes in a
gain as principal clerk without oppo

be determined until the meeting of
the democratic caucus Tuesday night,

of Halifax, is sai( to be slated for re
election. Tin re is no opposition to
Chief CUrk Frank D. Hakett and he
is ready with a force of capable as

for another term as assistant to Mr. '

Senate position, will be determined in '
the caucus Tuesday night. '
Lieutenant Govrr.or Cooper has
practically completed, his list of com
mittees, but only two appointment?,
finance and appropriations, have been
announced. These big chairmanships
go to Senators Varser, of Robeson,
and Giles, of McDowell, respectively,
according to reports which have not
been discontinued.
Of course, Governor Morrison has
a lot of things he wants done an, his
message later in the week will disclose
fully "what he has. up hi;: sleeve." A
continuation of the road program is
one of his pet propositions and this
is likely to receive the annroval of a
big majority of the members of both
branches of the Assembly, for all
progressive citizens these day are
"good roads enthusiasts."

It is quite remarkable, indeed, to
find you in possession of such, large

a paper.
I am especially struck with the pro
gressive spirit be-poken bv the size
and up-to-date appearance of the ad
vertisements. The business men of
Brevard, it seems, are not content to
wait for trade, but prefer rather to
make trade- and thus t0 make pros

THE NEW YEAR
. Optimistic Thoughts of Miss
Martha
Boswell for 1923. Praises
The Holiday Spirit
Public rpirit has always been

the warm support of thoughtful ci
tizens of our county, the offices of
Home and Farm Demonstrators,
a
strong Associated Charities,
a Lay
1 enter-
men's Association an( kindre
prises should be assure us for 19:2".
For public spirit is paying; through
th" " ork of the Home and Farm De-
raters in par.icular we hav? al-
r Je.'y seen coiicrete results in '.be
its; : vcmnt of iivstock, increased
marketing facilities, higher standards
of living and the promotion of a spir
it of comradshp and co-operation
throughout our county.
The spirit of Miss Clarke's office
was amply shown through hristmas
week. Chritma- greens from the
girls' clubs of the county were on
sale at moderate prices and beautiful
galax leaves were sent to the sick at
the hospital. Through the generos
ity of a number of merchants in B:-'--vard,
the demonstration Ford carried
fruit and groceries to a dozen hone-.s
where there was illnss or misfortu.t",
while members of the Junior R"d
Oops and othrs furnished toys for
thirty children.
Indeed the celebration of Christ
mas in our county this year speaks
more loudly thai: words of a growing
spirit of optimism and good-fellowship.
Mr. Silversteen remembered
the children of all employees at the
Brevar, and Bosnian tanneries in his
usual generous, fashion.
