The publisher of the Nws

plaints with reference to delay

If the fault is with your post
master or mail carrier, we may
be able to trace it. We arc
anxious for our readers to have
the News-Record as soon as
possible after it comes from the
press. H it is delayed you can
help us to locate the cause of
the'delayby writing us and
saying when you did receive
the paper.
A postmaster or mail carrier
-who gets drunk or is carekss in
handling mail should be report
ed to the Department and his
fifflcaUken.fromldmaad.vn
to someone who will give - it
proper attention. And the way
to get this done is for the pa

say we do not believe any of
this delay originates at Marsh
all. We have never seen a
postmaster more accommodat
ing than Mr. Rector. He works

(By REV. SAMljEt.HENSLEY)
I know of no town that is'mpre highly favored than
the town of Marshall, nestle la the hills of N. C. near
the State line between N. C. a Tenn., eighteen miles
below Asheville. No town W f C has greater advan
tages in natural resources. surrounded with a fine
farming section, where almost iything in the way of
grain, vegetables, cattle, she'ejogs, etc can be rais
ed ; in fact anything that is needed for food in the home
can be raised. Marshall isheunty seat, and natur
ally many people from the counfty come here daily,
bringing with them such things they have raised on
their farme, and purchase frolhe business firms of
the town, snch things as thejff eed in the home which
they cannot raise from the faiftgNaturally most of the
people raise from the farm s&hthings as they need for
the support of the family, o$$$ things as they can
dispose of to purchase same. ' erhaps there is no town
in N C. of its size that is more'prosperous in a business
line. Since the flood of 196, many large business
houses have been erected, which is a great credit to the
town. . ,

THE MARSHALL NEWS-RECORD
The writer feels that Madison County as a whole is
fortunate in having as editor ; &d publisher of the
Marshall News-Record, Mr. Story, who is now running
the paper. I have not found many, men who are Editing
weekly and daily papers tcaywho are interested in
every phase of the life of 'tne Community and county,
but I find that he is not only interested in the editing
of the paper, but I find him interested in the greatest
of all the works of man, the religious life not only of
his church and towli but the totye county. I very great-
ly enjoyed having the privilege Sunday of listening to
him as he taught the older women's Bible Class of his
church at the Baptist Church Sunday morning. He also
has a family that are interested in every department of
the work. I feel that a Church, a Town, a County, is
fortunate in having at the head of its paper, a man of
his caliber, and I feel that if he does not already have
it that he should have the most loyal support of every
citizen in the county, and the publication and distri
bution of the paper which he publishes.

APPRECIATION
I desire to take this method to show my apprecia
tion to the people of the town of Marshall, of all de
nominations, the business men of the town for closing
their doors and cooperating with us in such a worthy
way, while in your town in the revival meeting at the
Baptist church. I have assisted a number of pastors in
revivals. I desire to make this statement concerning
this meeting. I have never been in a meeting where
the work was better organized, for the entertainment
of the pastor and where people have been more cordiat
than in this. I shall not forget you. Mr. J . D. Holmes
of Mars Hill, N. C led the singing in the meeting. He
did it in a very fine way. He is very fine with children.
He had a very fine group of children in his Junior choir
in this meeting. The writer? can. heartily, recommend
' him to any pastor or evangelist who may need a singer.
He is not only a good congregationalist singer. He is
also a fine soloist.- It has been a great joy to have the
privilege of coming back and laboring with you after
an absence of nine years, in the revival. While it has
not been what we would have liked to have seen it, I
feel that it has been a blessing to' have had the privilege
ta labor ,with you. I have not found a pastor who is
more Interested in his people, and who has had a great
er yearning for the lost of the town as a whole. , He is
.j. i.. t.AJM4.ii hi iiia own rjeople, but in all .He fa
j " -worthy of the loyal support of everyone of his mem-
j bers. - We feel that the'church'is fortunate in paving
! a young, 'energetic, conscientious man as he for ite pas- ,

INFLUENCE
By Mrs. S. L. Mcintosh ,
The influence which one person has
over another is ofttimes very great.
We aU exercise some influence, bvery
man or woman, however numoie or
feeble their power, exerts some in
fluence over those around them either
for good or evU. If this influence
were all for good, how much happi
ness : there would soon be in the
world. No human being can come in
to the world without increasing or
diminishing human happiness. Influ
ence is exerted in variea remuoua u
life. The influence of man and wife,
of parents and child, brother and sis
ter, teacher and pupil harmoniously
blended, constitutes the home influ
ence. It commences at our birth, and
goes with us through life, clings to us
in death, and reacnes into we ewiuoi
world. How great! Like a deep flow
ing stream. It moves on in silent, out
overwhelming power. It roots deep in
the human heart, and spreads iti
branches wide. It passes down the
current of life from one generation
to another. The influence of home is
felt as soon as the little child is able
to take notice of objects around. It
does not take it long to tell its moth
er's face from all the rest. The im
pression which she is able to produce
never dies The influence of the home
is very important because it is woven
1 with childhood, and is not easily e
nr look, our words, our act
ions, even our silence, speaa our tmw
acter. We are impressing ourselvea
upon others. We are breathing a sil
' hut stronar influence into many a
soul 'which goes direct from our
character. We are impressing oursel

silent but strong influence into many
a soul which goes direct from, over, -character.
Thinkhow many with
whom we meet from year to year,
then sum up the amount of influence
we ""ert upon the world, how import
ant it is that we should always exert
good influence and shun the very ap
pearance of evil. Where there is not
any good there must surely be evU
hid away back. Many a home has had
its influence ruined by card parties,
card games, dance parlors, or tne
dance hall. Parents nave oeen

ou'cli.ur life means in the world, we
would exert better influence. A we
