REV. MR. CALLAHAN'S WORK.
A Faithful Preacher for 50. Years
-A Methodist Knieranl of the
Old School.
Charlotte Observer. 17th.
Rev. and Mrs. G. W. 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.,

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. ;

BIG AUCTION SALE.
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.
