NO WAY TO STOP THE PASSING VISA It* Christ inn Advocate: We write it 1021 The day.; of oui years fly like a weaver's shuttle. Bui there is no way to stop them. We ca> refuse to tell our apes; wo can turr back the hands of the cloak; but n< such devices can stay the movement ol time and of the tides. Even monke> jrlends have not yet disturbed nature in its ape lonp obedience to the pans, inp years. The multitudes, like Ponce De Leon have sought the fountain oj youth, but, like him, they have failed to find it. Powder puff, lip sticks bobbed hair and bobbed skirts do not deceive Father Time. He has he n here too long for that. He is e wise old chap, whose delight is to puncture pretense, and to fling all things that are false upon the scrap heap of the eternities. Only the true, the beauti ful and the pood can with confiil n< r defy the passinp decades, Tor , he eternal years of God are theirs. The railroads made money last year. This, however, is not news to people who bought tickets. The price of pip iron is so high we know where they can pet some bis cuits for a substitute. NEVER CAUSED I5Y US make it a point to relieve immediate family of the deceased of all care and re-* sponsibility for the successful carrying out cf the final du ties to the dead. You can'al ways rest assured that our service is intimately personal and we give the same atten tion to all details as though the departed one were our own. THE PARAGON FURNITURE COMPANY Shelby, N.
