The Eagle Complet
ing Installation Of
New Equipment Now
The Eagle ran an article a
month ago today, saying that we
were immediately installing quite
a bit of new equipment. It was
the intention of the Eagle to be
gin that week to install the new
equipment, but due to shortage
of labor we are just now get
ting a part of the equipment in.
This week a part of the equip
ment, including a large assort
ment of type, spacing material,
type cases, rules, ornaments, slugs,
leads, Linotype metal,- furniture,
etc., have been moved from Con
over here. More will, be brought
in before the week is over.
The Eagle offers apologies to
its customers who have patient
ly waited for their work. With
the labor shortage as it is today
and with their scarcity of mater
ial it has been impossible to get
all of our work out on time. W e
hope to be able to give much
better service, with the new
equipment and material.
We have purchased all the en
tire equipment of the Conovei
Frinting Company, which was
formerly owned by Mr. beck
Moehlman, known to many Cher
ryville people as the ringmastei'
for the two norse shows we have
had here.
We will now be in better
shape to serve our customers and
the entire Job Printing depart
ment will be under the super
vision of a man who has had 3ij
years experience in this kind oi
We wish to thank our custo-'
mers for their kindness and pa
tience and pledge ourselves to
give the best possible service un
der the present circumstances.

Pvt. A. B. Morrow
At LaGard Hospital
A machine gunner 0f the 121st
Infantry Regiment is Private Ab
raham B. Morrow, now a patient
a-. LaGrrie General Hospital, in
New Orleans, Louisiana.
After braii; training at Fort
Jackson, G. C . Private Morrow
spent some months in England
and Ireland before landing in
France on July 4h. There was hea
vy fighting during the following
weeks and on July 23, he was put
out of action by shell fragments,
near LaHaye de Pints. The shell
ing was so heavy he did not call
aid men but managed to make a
tourniquet with his belt to stop
bleeding. When fire slackened, aid
men took him to an aid station
where he received blood plasma
and later when taken to the evac
uation hospital, he was given
blood transfusions.
“One night, while in a foxhole,”
said Private Morrow, “the shelling
was heavy, when suddenly some
one jumped in the hole with me
and said ‘Move over buddy', it was
a Negro truck driver, who had
been driving through the area. 1
often laugh when recalling this
incident, hut at the time saw no
humor in it.” ,
tuiling his stav at l.aGarde,
Private Morrow will have the ben
efit oi the Educational and Re
conditioning program and the fa
cilities of the Entertainment and
recreational activities by which he
may better fit himself for his re
| turn to duty or to civilian life.
| The parents of this soldier, Mr.
and Mrs. A. B. Morrow, are resi
dents of Cherryville, N.iCarolina.

This Tribute Goes To
Employers Here
I.ast week the Eagle paid tri
bute to the working man oi
<’herryville. Today we stop to
-ay a Tew words about Uie em
ployers op tne working men and
women oP our town.
Were it not for the type oi
men who have been the employ
ers. superintendents, and over
seers ol' our public works here,
the boast we made last week could
never have been made. Only
happy men and women will work
year in and year out without
serums trouble. He believe that
the tiling that made it possible
for (herryville to say Ilia', in its
history there has never neon a
- crums labor dapple is iliac we
have always had employe! s. su
perintendents and oveiseeis that
understand the people employed
under them. Men like Carl Kit
disiii, Sam Butler, U ert Rhyne,
i arlyle Summer. Howard Hojser,
Hairy Stroupe, George cans,
Dave Rudisill, Dave Mauney, W.R.
• ccunej, Jr., Lid Rudts.il, Drank
Mosieller, Mable McGinnis,
Grier and Dewey Beam, G. L.
.firm-, and the merchants amt
business men of this town know
how to get along with people,
as we said last week, time are
no “high hats” in Cheivvville.
Uur employers have all come u.»
the hard way and know now to
appreciate other people. Iliey
know how to meet men on an
equal basis. 1 hey are line men,
aiul we are glad to say a lew
words m appreciation of them and
their splendid, service to the com
il would be dishonest to say
tltat there has never been any
dll del enees between any of our
labours, supeiintents and over
seers. I Iris is not Heaven here,
!iut. taken as a Whole, there could
not be found a finer group ot cm
} layers, superintednts, overseers,
merchants and business men.
More power to them. It we keep
on as we are going, there will
never be any serious labor trou
,de in our town.
Our observation is that most ot
our Southern industrial com
munities would be the same way
if oursiders would let them alone.
Here's Imping that labor distui
bers will stay away from us, and
let us continue happy in our pa
triotic duties.
