pus op, the November air reach
ing the ears of a senior sitting in
his room dejected, careworn,
heart sick. The honor letter on
his sweater, the debater’s key,
the fraternity emblem ea^ told
its story of achievement and hap
py days
His roommate awkardly
pounded his shoulder saying, 'Tt
IS just a slight attack, old man.
You will be well in no time.- The
doctor said tuberculosis is easily
cured when it is fought scieotifi.
cally in the early stages. Your
stay in the Sanatorium will be a
short one.”
Brave, smiling, head erect and
face forward, the senior put aside
his dreams, folded away his
cherished plans, went to the
sanatorium and fought the fight
Days lengthened into weeks, and
weeks into months until one
dhining, glorious day the doctor
said , the longed for word,
“Cured.”
“Tell my story,” said the col
lege senior. “Tell it to tvery
student in North Carolina.
Teach them that I might have
been spared this trial if, the
health message of the Christmas
Seals bad been told to me while|

health habits which helps to pr^

Therefore be it resolved:
First: That though we de

realize that God is too wise to err,
and trusting Him fully we bow
in submission to His holy will:
thanking Him for the inspiration
of her Christian life;
That We tender our deepest
sympathy to her loved ones;
With the prayer that God will
be the God of all comfort to
them in their sorrow. V

and that a leal estate movement
has set in the Sandhills that will

ment so far. This week the Wey
mouth Heights estate announces
hat on February let. the price
of all Weymouth lots will be $2,
I OO an acre. Until that date the
price will continue at $1,500, and
no great effort will be made to
sell any further p'’npert;y there
until it comes in the new figure,
as the land is regarded us worth
the advanced price and the fix
ing of February for the advance
is merely to give fair notice of
whai the prices are to be hence-
