MUSIC ESSAY (By Pauline Leathers) "Music washes away the dust of everyday life," says one great pian ist. Music affords us pleasure, enter tainment and other things that are essential in life. Often times when ona. is blue, broken-hearted ana 3eems that everyone has forsakei: ?Jiem. music causes new life, new thoughts and inspiration. Although music in its modern form i3 the most artificial of the arts, is primarily the most universal and spontaneous. ? Music is everywhere. Even in places where three seems to be no , life. There are birds which make beautiful music that thrills the soul and causes gladness. Music has caused many a soul to turn to Christ. One great song writer has said, "The right kind of song sung in the right way has led many people to Christ." Even a small child loves music. There was once a child of a well , known pianist, age two years. Just before its d&ath, it asked its father to play the jflece the child had loved airtce it was old enough to realize the sound; the father named the piece Grace Darling in memory of his little daughter. Through music we * get joy, thoughts, sorrows and things which cause us to be ambitious. ? POWELL-CALLOWAY A marriage of more than usual interest was that of Miss Dexter Powell and Mr. Frank Galloway, which took place at the office of Probate Judge of Pickens, S. C., on Friday. August 9th, the ceremony being performed by Rev. R. A. Hud son. Miss Powell is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Powell, and is a young woman of many beautiful and accomplished traits of character, being very popular in social circles and very attractive and charming in appearance. Mr. Galloway is a Rosnian boy, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Gal loway. He is a young man of un ustlal attainments and popularity. The young couple, after the cer ? emony, left immediately for Birming ham, Ala., where they will make theilj future home. A great host of friends throughout the county will join in wishing for them all the best that -i life of usefulness and happi ness has for any young couple. I ROSMAN LOCALS Cyclone Mack preached.

GROWING OLD Some people lire foolish enough to jsi'.y, "Well 1 mean to j?ro\Y old gracefully." It is impossible. I .el , us h limit it because it is true. Ol.l people are not graceful, (iraee be j longs to youth ami is its chief | charm. The poet Browning hints that youth has beauty and grace be cause youth would be intolerable | without it. Young people are slen der, fair and graceful because no body could stand them if they were . otherwise. It would be horrible if ' boys and girls, knowing as little as they do, were bald, gray-headed, fat and wrinkled. But nature has so arranged matters that young peo ple are physically attractive until they acquire some brains and sense and are able to live by their wits. ; As responsibility grows, beauty and grace depart. The child sits on your knee and reaches for your watch. You smile and say "Nice baby, can't have the watch." But when he is twenty-five and reaches for your watch you put him in jail. More is expected and demanded of us as we grow older. Therefore, there is nothing more tragic than a person of mature years with the mind of a child. But even if it were possikle to grow old gracefully, it would be at best a form of resignation, a sur render; and a soldier of life should not take it lying down. Then sup- , hose we grow old eagerly and tri- ] umphantly. This is possible with the right mind and character, with i the right attitude and preparation. | It is not only possible but probabl.e One great man in a public address , said that the happiest time of his, life was between seventy and eighty years of age and advised us to get j there as soon as we could. It is said as we grow older we | lose our illusions. Of course we 1 do, but what happens when we _ lose j an illusion We gain a new idea, ( of course. Ideas are far more in- | teresting, hence pleasure giving than j illusions. We are told that youth , looks on the world through rose colored spectacles. But I can prove that we shouldn't look through them. That great man of wisdom and ex- . perience, Robert Browning, at the age of 77, wrote: "Friend, did you need an optic glass, . Which were your choice? A lens to drape On ruby, emerald, chrysopas. Each object? or reveal its shape Clear outlined, past escape. The naked very thing?? so clear That, when you had the chance to gaze, You found its inmost self appear Through outer seeming? truth ablaze, j Not falsehood's fancy haze? This is easily determined by our old friend in political economy, the law of supply and demand. Demand fixes the price. Suppose you were on a mountain top gazing at a ship ? five miles away with your natural j eye. This ship would appear as beautiful and graceful as a swan, but on the other hand gaze at this same vessel through a powerful pair of binoculars and see the shreds and patches. Surely you want the truth. And the proof is that any one can buy rose colored glasses cheaply, but everytime you increase the power of the lens ? that is, ev ery time you bring reality nearer ? the price goes up enormously. If then we are willing to pay cash, to substitute truth for illusion, let us be done with saying that youth is happy because of illusion. As we grow older our eyes become achro matic; rose colors fall away, and we see life more clearly as it is, and "find it more interesting. ?A READER. tors at the home of .Mrs. Fisher's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Chap man, last Sunday.

CYCLONE MACK TO HOLD REVIVAL HERE I On Monday evening: at 7 :45, Rev. [ B. K. Mcl.cndon will herein a u*i I day revival meeting at Bosnian. Thv ! services will be held under the | auspices of the Methodist church I with the Baptist pastor and people I cooperating. I It is indeed a rare opportunity i i for the town and community of | Kosnian to have the services of this i distinguished minister, who is, and j has been for many ye%rs one of the ? j outstanding evenagelists of America, j Cyclone Mack, as he is commonly ? called, is a man of decided convic . tions and of more than ordinary in ! tellectuality, with a rich experience of many years and is thefefore, a (specialist in the great work of evan gelism. He loves both God and men | with all his soul and is giving him jself without reserve to the service of God and humanity. | It is to be hoped that the people know that he comes here as their friend, and his only purpose is to | do good. His services could not j have been secured at this time bu' for the fact that his large tent is j be taken down and moved and erec- ; ed in the city of Raleigh, th? cap- . ital city of North Carolina, he hav I ing been invited there by the gov ernor and other leading officials of that city. While in conference with Rev. J. C. Richardson concerning the meet ing here, Mack said, "The only pro gram I have or request of the people of Rosman is that you furnish me and my singer (Mr. Jones) a place to sleep and food to eat while we are here, and we will do all we can for the spiritual uplift and moral wel fare of your town, and when the meeting is over if you think we have been worth anything to your town, you may give us a free-will offering and we will be satisfied. If you don't think we have been worth any thing to your community, just say 'Good-bye, Mack, we are through with you'." Let every body join right in whole hearted from the very beginning and make the meeting the very best ever I held here. Mr. L. E. Powell and family spent Friday and Saturday at the home of Mrs. Powell's brother. Mr. L. E. Bagwell, of Rockbrook; also calling at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Batson, ICE CREAM SUPPER An ice cream supper will be given at the home of Mrs. Jud Plott, Sat urday evening September 3rd, i?t 8 o'clock, for the benefit of Mt.
