Callahan of Gastonia, who have been spending a few days in Charlotte returned home yesterday after noon. Mr. Callahan is pastor of the Ozark Methodist church in Gastonia and is closing his second year with that pastoral charge. He is one the older members of the Western North Carolina Conference and has given to his church 50 years of faithful service as an itinerant. He is a man of pure heart and Christian spirit, a " Methodist preacher of - the olden type. During all ot this half century of itineracy he has received his appointments from year to year without . any ; seeking f or place and without murmur at the thought or realization; of hard ship and sacrifice on any work to which he has been sent. Wonderfully gifted in language and in prayer as he is, there are scores of men and ; women to whom he bad ministered in the relation of pastor in North Caro lina, Virginia aud Tennessee, who will ever remember him and his faithful discharge of duty in the pulpit.in the family circle and fn the sick room and death chamber,' where he . has in so many instances ' given' comfort and spiritual help. Mr. Calla han is a well perserved man for bis age, find with care it seems likely that bis usefulness will be continued -for years ta come. His consistent life as a -Christ ian, and his cheerful spirit have been a blessing to many - with whom-he has come in contact, and these wish for him a- great lengthening of life., Subscribe 'for Teds Gazette. The e s o JUDGE LEWIS SAYS. That when he left Gastonia some eighteen months ago and went to Greensboro, his object and hope was to better his con nition: that he had not been in his new home more than three months when he saw his plans "run amuck," and his hopes all in vain: that he then turned his attention fn th Ktiidv ami nrap- tice of law under most favorable Circumstances; that, in pursu inr his studies and practice, hi had access to large libraries -and had the assistance and advice of the Honorable E. J. Justice who is one of the ablest and most - learned lawyers in the State and one of the biggest hearted, broadest minded and most unselfish men in the whole country a man "of the people and for the people," with a heart and a hand for all that is good, and leading a life con sistent and without reproach; that, upon the whole, he be lieves his going off to Greens boro and taking this special course and training has been beneficial both to himself and his family, and he hopes that irreater benefits than are now seen will result from it in the re maining vears of his pilenmage: that his reason for coming back just when he did, and opening his law office here, was that he concluded that he had more friends already made in Gaston than he could make any where else during the remaining years of his life; that he might have done better in Greensboro in a business way, it it had not been that a large number of those who were friendly to him there, supposed that he simply moved to Greensboro to live and enjoy what he had already made; that he regretted very much that any of his friends should have reached such a conclusion, but it seemed utterly impossible to get that idea out of their heads. The Judge says he has no desire to go back to Greensboro to live; that life is too strenuous in a city for him; that he would rather live in a log-cabin, on the hill near the spring, with his gun and his dog to keep him company, than to be compelled to Jive in a-'city and have to worry and fret from day to day in an; effort to secure a. fair share of the' business tbaf should come to a law-office; and that he is done with moving for a long time. ; The only true constipation cure must begin its soothing, healing action when it enters, the . mouth.

Gastonia Insurance 4 Realty Company Sells 199 Lots in North Gastonia Good Crowd Attended Sale P r o p e r t y Brought Satisfactory Prices. Saturday was auction day in North Gastonia when the Gas tonia Insurance & Realty Co put on sale 190 choice lots, the whole tract amounting to 60 acres. The crowd was not very large but was composed of men who came for business. The sale was advertised to begin at 10 o'clock but it was 10:30 be fore the crowd had assembled and everything was in readiness It tequired just two hours to complete the sale, the entire 190 lots being sold. Mr. W. T. Rankin, president of the company, opened the sale by making a short talk in which he explained the terms of the sale, the location of the lots. etc. He put up a cash forfeit of $500 to go to the person who could establish the fact that there was any by-bi Jding for the company. It is. needless to state that the forfeit was not asked for by any one. Capt. W. I Stowe, the veteran auctioneer, cried the sale and did a good job of it.. While the prices at which the land went were con sidered reasonable enough, the companv was satisfied with the sale, inasmucn as it opens up a new surburban section of Gas tonia. That the prices were ex tremely reasonable is evidenced by the fact that some of the lots changed hands at a profit on the grounds and others have been sold since. Following is a list of the pur chases: G. W. Ragan, 10 lots; John E. McAllister, 5 lots; C. J. Huss, 5 lots; J. M. .Sloan, 20 lots; L. M. Rhyne, 10 lots; W. D. Ballard, 5 lots; M. W. Han na, 5 lots; C. L. Chandler, 20 lots; A. C. Stroupe, 15 lots; R. A. Ratchford, 7 lots; Craig & Wilson, 32 lots; A. M. Smyrer 20 lots: S. E. Mauney, 11 lots, P. R. Huffstetler, 25 lots.
