REIDSVILLE LOSES REV. AND j MRS. JOHN F. KIRK ' Rev. John F, Kirk, who canm to! ; the Main Street Methodist church, as 1 e result of the changes made ;it the last Conference, haw received recosnl t'on that, we can not help hut feel, in very u js fly merited, emit leaves this charge immediately to assume the place of presiding elder of the Shelhy district. Mis place will he taken here by Rev. W. A. Abernathy, who oomes from Ihe Dilworth Methodist church, Chirlotte, Rev. J. If. liarn hardt helm; transferred from the Shel by district to succeed Dr. J. If. Weaver, whose sudden deatli created this shake-up. Mr. and Mrs. Kirk wme to Keids Ville under conditions that were some what prejudicial to that quick and eympineiic. acceptance or a new pas tor, which has become natural to the membership of the Methodist church. Rev. W. A. Lambeth, with another year to serve, was whisked away, and his going left an .aching void, not ren dered leas acute by the sudden manner cf his taking, and the atmosphere af t?r his departure might reasonably be expected to be a trifle chilly for ahwile ft r the ' new. : incumbent. However Mr. Kirk came from Statesville, with n halo of loving recommendations to berald this advent, and it was little short of surprising how (juiekly both himself and Mrs. Kirk got. into the hearts of our people, ever quick to recognize true ring of genuine manli ness and upright Christian character Mr. "and Mrs. Kirk are .-today fully level and appreciated by the people of Ueldsville for their noble quali lies ns they could hope to be had they had been permitted to fill out the liill period of service in the commun ity, and their going , even -After so phort a period among us, is an oc casion of deep and sincere regret. Mr. Kirk is a fearless preacher of ine gospei or ngnteousness, with a splendid contempt for mere expedien cy.. He Is progressive Bind aggressive and his advocacy of progress along all lines of human endeavor has touch ed many a chord in tht hearts of those who have at heart the building up of Reidsville end Rockingham county. He will be, by nature, a tow er of strength for the seeker after bigger and better and brighter things and a stumbling block for the stand patter in religion or human progress. He leaves 'Reidsville with the assur ance of our deep appreciation of his manifold and splendid charaterisf Irs. end we will try to be unselfish ?nough to congra.tuate our friens in the Shelby d'strlct upon their good for tune In h "curing him. Rut every cloud has its silver lining,. The recent, changes ought to cause every .-Met hodist to have a feeling of .pride in the possession of such . wealth of splendid timber in ."Its ministry.- Dr . Weaver was loved fer vently for his splendid christian char acter, and his sudden demise r-'inovcd from us a man whose coming was always looked forward to with joy, He is followed by one who will, we believe, quickly And his wa y into t he hearts of a responsive people. Rev. J. H. H'trhardt Is not unknown in this seen ion, and he will come among j friends when he takes up his residence i m Greensboro. Ilo is just as pro gressive and sincere as one could wish for and under his guid-meo the Greens boro district will not lack Stimulus for good work along spiritual or ocfal lines. Rev, W. A. Abernethy, who comes tc us in place of Rev. Kirk, will find many friends to greet him, as will Mr, JJarnhardt. and the Methodist church is to be congratulated upon the ac quisition of these to lenders, quite as much as it Is entitled to our sympathy upon the loss of the loved one who is gone, and those who are leaving for other fields of activity. .... ; . o - THE FARM LOAN ASSOCIATION report upon the actual value of the land anl buildings, and their reports will have to be conservative and trust worthy. It will bo worse than useless were they to value the lands above what they are worth, for their report is but a basis upon which the Colum bia valuator will work, his value will or any favorable circumstances that probably be mode upon the actual soil as a producing agent, without re spect to the location of the holding, or any avorable circumstances that miirht make Ihe farm a desirable place of residence. However, the policy 'f Hie Kami Loan Lank is to loud ! money tor t.irm work improvement, and this policy will ho observed in dealing Willi each case, provided the property is good for the amount ap pli'il for, and the borrower a man of character, and with the hab'l of in mistry. The finest soil in Ihe world is of littlo use if there is a lazy, care less owner in possession of it, and un der the pre st nt conditions of shortage o! actual food stuffs, it may ln taken for granted that more food Is what ;he 'nit I'd Stales (lovernnient Is looking for, and th man who shows an inclination to raise it will have lit tle difficulty in gettiiiK a loan, backed by the security of his laud, his own integrity, his good strong arm and his willingness to make the best of his possessions. The business of the valuators is to furnish an honest report to the ! land hank upon the value of the hold ing as a collateral for the loan, and 'we believe they will do that without 1 fear or favor, j o SED D.

'PHONE NO. 1. GERMAN IGNORANCE There is a sinister rumor current hearing upon the safety of Minister Cerrard and his party upon their jour ney to the 1' nl ted States. It is all the more sinister since Ihe rumor Is credited to some high oliicial of the German nation. This is certainly rodking the boot some. We had hoped that, with experience, had dis d,ipeared the German system of under rating the enemy, or the possible enemy; but. apjKirently the eyopcners Kngland has administered to this cocksure nation have not yet sunk through a thick epedermis. I" any thing should happen to the American Minister on his homeward route there w ill be a spilling of the beans in Amer ica that will astonish the Hohen.ol lern dynasty. We have gone along our way dog gedly detrernined to keep out of the trouble if we could. We live taken insults and a IT rents during the past two and a. half years to an extent al most beyond belief, as we look back upon them, but any affront offered to the representative of this sovereign nation, on the high seas or elsewhere will be resented by the American Peo ple, in a. manner that will make the world gasp. If it is not yet too late; the Kaiser and his unscruvulous -advisors should take a few hours off and do a little, solid thinking. o The Heed "hone dry" bill recently passed by Congress prohibiting any transHrt,ition of liquor into States having any restrictions on the manu facture and sale of Intoxicants', will go into effect, so it is stated, as soon ae, the President signs the bill .- In the event the President fails to sign the bill it becomes a law March 4. This bill is a "lium-duiiimer" as an effec tive stoppage of the liquor traffic and goes further tt"in some of the most extreme prohis. ever wanted. It is a hard blow, to many w ho were strongly in favor of pmhIbitIo'n-fur-he "other fellow." SADLER Mr- Arthur Kstes of Greensboro wis a visitor at the home of Mr. W. V. Glass Saturday and Sunday.

"'i he following afternoon, which was Sunday, we were sailing along as peacefully as you please, never looking for trouble, when shortly after six bells (3 p. in.) a large vessel appeared about three miles distant off our star board quarter.
