The first sleet of the seoson oc curred early Friday morning when a fin?, dizzling rain, Which began to fall shortly after midnight, soon froze and formed a thin sheet of ice over the streets, this following a continued drop in temperature.

The matter of early Christmas shopping this year is more than or dinarily desirable, because of the fact that if it is done with the de gree of satisfaction the average buy er seeks, it must be done early. It would not be a very great exaggera tion to say that if it is done at all, it must be done early. For it must bo remembered that conditions are very different this Christmas from tat usual.

Lam beth has not been surpassed, ac iording to Tom Bost, by any of the 36 distinguished preachers who have appeared before the Teachers' As sembly. We are not all surprised at this statement, and have no doubt it is a Just estimate of the sermon by our Thomasvilie boy. Charity and Children. Mrs. Frank Whittcmore was hos tess to the T. & N. Club on Friday evening:. After several interesting games of rook, Mrs. Whittemore presented Miss Dora Coates with a lovely box of correspondence cards as the club prize, and a similar gift t Miss Fannie Gardner for the visi tors' price. The hostess served a de licious salad course to her guests. We have never attempted to run a dry goods store, but if we ever do. we Imagine we would like to have a trap door in the floor. When the lady came in who wanted to see every thing in the store, making the clerk go clear to the rafters, piling the counter high and, then remark, as the wreckage lay before her, 'I really don't know what I do want, I wil. look further," we would certainly throw the trap and the farther tc the bottom of the cellar, the better would we be pleased. Statesvilic Sentinel. Chas. R. Thomas writes The Re vitw from Atlanta as follows: "Not withstanding the boll weevil, ir some sections of the cotton belt yes terday cotton sold as high as 42 l-3c. The farmiers around Waycros3 and Dublin, Ga., have gone into raising tobacco and are doing fine. They ire building big tobacco warehouses at both places. Any farmer in Old Rockingham who thoroughly under stands how to raise tobacco from start to finish can get rich do wr here, I have siecn some as fine to bacco raised down here as I ever saw anywhere in Virginia or North Care iina," All the church'.' I of Reidsvill' have at present the best opportunitr of their existence to an unselfish an', highly beneficial act. That is to aid in a matreial way in" rebuilding Ou St. Paul M. E. church (colored.) I has been suggested, and steps wil' be taken, to induce all the churehe tnd Sunday Schocl3 of Reidsvill' (both white and colored) to Uike r, special collection and make, a con iribution to be used in rebuilding' ''hurch to replace the one that va burned Sunday. A resolution war unanimously adopted at the Firs baptist church (white) to take ur collection for that purpose next Sun clay morning, and other churches o he city are making preparations t do the came thing. The matter should be acted upon promptly, fo il this time ihere are many citizen "ho are willing to assist in this un dertaking. In cne "f the mo3t interesting and Josely contested games ever play -d, the Reidsville High School quin ied the score with the fast Burlinr 'on quint on the latter's court Fri 'py. It was exciting throughout, for t no stage of the game was victor;' "ertain for either side. At the; end of the first half the score stood 6-4 n favor of Reidsville. The score was tied five times during the game, 'teidsville overcame a lead of fou; oints during the last 1.1-2 minutes f the game. Lack of time prevente:- he playing off the tie. The Reids- Ule boys were Impressed with the lrrge number or older people . vho witnessed the game. They were here to support their team. The THgh Point quint comes on the local ourt Friday night of this week. Said a gentleman yesterday: -"If our people would clean up around heir homes and places of business ve would have, instead of one p1' he most beautiful cities in the State, he most beautiful. The people of Reidsville are not cleaning up their remises as they should. I do not "see how a good Christian gentlemar can live like a hog and expect to go to Heaven and enjoy the beauties of that place; why he wouldn't know p flower from a jimpson weeed," con tinued the talker.

I once worked for an old newspa per editor in Missouri who refused to publish the death notice of a mer chant who had not advertised in his home paper. He said: "People who don't advertise in the home paper never were alive and their passing away has no news value." 'Ex change. The most prominent feature of December is Christmas, which finally comes to a head on the -25th of thy month. This festival has made De cember one of our mo3t prominen' and successful months. The younge half of the world spends the firs part of December counting the day until Christmas, and the older por tion spends the last half of th month counting its money with n slightly dejected air. There is another kind of funny critter that we often observe. Tha is the individual who is eternally late. And the funny part is, that a a rule it is the same individual. Yor can have a meeting, Sunday School church services or any kind of gath ering and about the time the whole affair is over seme lame duck wil come easing in and look as though the whole business should break up and compliment him on getting there. Funny world, this is. Ex. A good many local weather fore casters are predicting a cold winter. During the disagreeable weathe, last week, several Reidsville citi zens recalled that on December 11. 1917, two years ago, the first bis snow of that winter fell and there was snow on the earth for nearly three months. The cold wave strik ing us about the same time thl year reminds local weather prognos tlcators that there is strong proba bility of another hard winter ahead In selecting Chrintma3 presents nothing would please one's out-of town relatives or friends more than to receive The Review for a year tbereby being reminded at least 104 times during the next twelve months of one's thoughtful friendliness. Run dreds of people make It a rule V. send their parents or their children a year's subscription to The Review for Christmas. It makes an Ideal Christmas present. Supose you try it this year. We are sure yon will like it. It is only $1.50. The Reidsville merchants have laid in large supplies of goods, ant, there will prdbably be enough gift, c.f some, sort to go around, but wit! such an unusually heavy demand one will be extremely unlikely to get the things he desires if shopping i r ut off till late: .

The early shoprc: ".ill have the best of it in every way Thi3 year he is doing no one such p. favor as himself in buying early. Reid3ville has a rare treat in store for it on Thursday evening !e. 18. A large chorus under th lirection of Mrs. Francis Womac" will give several selections, acrmv anied by a full orchestra. Th Tunior Order band, under the dime 'ion of I. F.

The following letter has been re eived from D. II. Milton, superir endent of the State Soldier.- iomo: "In answer to your inquiry i; regard to Mr. Archer Watklns, thi. rood man died Aug. 26, 1918, frou heart failure and was buried in th Confederate cemetery. This was hi-.. eriuost, and we carried it out. No better man has been an inmate c' the Home. He was here one yen 'acking three days." It will be re membered by the few surviving vet erans of Rockingham that Mr. Wat kins was a native of this county. He Volunteered his services to the Youth's cause at the age of 16 as a private. However, by acts of brav ery he was soon promoted to lieu enant and served in this capacity mtil the close of the war. There were no orders too hazarous for him o undertake. He was a member of Co.
