HAPPY CHILD HEN
Around 509 children were made happy
Monday night when the Salvation Army had
ftz Christmas tree.
Many were given toys and ,
bad not known the ‘nanY 1"rfl
many of us the season thal
This
_ as made possible by Adlutani
“L.aest Lamar, Mrs. Lamar, and their cowork
era. by those who gave toys to be repaired foi
this purpose, by those who made contributions
to the Army, by the Lions Chib which gave
toys, by many friends, by merchants.
But ws wish that 500 Goldsboro people could
Ware seen those eager faces, those happy ex
presslnns and then next year hundreds of ad
dilional toys would be available for the fini
work which the Salvation Army is doing in oui
midst.
All strength to this fine organisation in its
-work among the needy of our section.
Let's help them to help those who need help.
LOOKING FORWARD
With the approach of the New Year It will be
a mighty fine thing If all of us will look forward
to what is ahead for us—to 1938 and the yean
beyond.
It is well for us to plan Just how we will Im
prove our lives during the month which arc
ahead of us: Just how we can practice in oui
Ryes more and more the principle laid dowr
by the Apostle James and described as pare
religion: namely, personal purity and practi
cal helpfulness.
We, of course, must look to material things
lor we must live and must provide for our fam
iHes; but alter all, the material things are no
die greatest things in life. LIVING is the thing
unit we need to practice living the ABUND
ANT LIFE.
Let us plan to begin the New Year with c
determination to live fuller lives ourselves ant
to enable others, through our helpfulness, tc
live better and fuller lives.
To do this we need to look backward as we.l
as forward. All of us make mistakes—howevci
reluctant we arc to admit them—and It Is wel
that we profit from them. We often think tha
it Is not so regretable to make mistakes; but thi
! ITy itnhle tffig is that we so often refuse t<
Jggn) from When we have once mad<
« mistake, lefts try not to make the same on<
^ yitiv.
L l! we wlll ao \
„ _> that we will be bigger ourselves
if we will try to make some one else hap
py we will be happier ourselves.
By practicing personal purity and practlca
helpfulness we will find ourselves living the
ABUNDANT life.
And may die ABUNDANT LIFE be yours
during the coming year, is our wish far you.
OUH PLANS
During the past year we have tried to tnak<
the Herald a better paper than it wag during
1936. and we shall try during 1938 to make it <
better paper than it was during 1937.
Tou can help us do this—all ot you readers
You can do this by letting us know of newi
•vents in your community which should be ii
the paper—and ii you haven't a corresponden
lor the paper in your community. Just help ui
get one—and by suggesting to as things yoi
would like to see in the paper, improvement
that could be made.
During the past year we have made a nura
her of improvements. You have doubtless noi
ed some o: them.
We have changed Sunday school lesson dit
nations and we now have what some Bibli
student-, have told us is the finest lesson pre
•eolation they have seen.
We have added a SHORT SHORT STOR1
each week, a story lust one column long whicl
you may read In a few minutes. And ii yoi
have not been reading thsse stories wo sug
ge«t you siait this week to read them. Shor
Short Store* are a comparatively new type o
literature, but they are so popular that most o
our leading magazines carry them.
Wo have added a new Washington letle;
which gives you the facts from the Naliona
capital.
We have added a column each week b-j
Irvin S. Cobb, one of the country's greats*
humorists and writers. If you haven't beer
reading Cobb, we advise that you start thb
We have added two local columns, one by
L E. Warrick, a native of the county and on*
who taught school for a long time. He Is often
spoken of as the “Will Rogers" of this section;
you'll enjoy him.
Boggs Corbin, a newcomer to the paper, is
doing a column. Bead it. Read all of these fea
tares in addition to those which the paper has
been carrying—Chips Off the Old Block, Ram
bib' 'Bound; Items and Ideas, etc.
And. too. we have added this fall the record
of county court pt oceedings. of marriage li
censee sold, and of land transfers. Many have
told us they wanted these things and have ex
pressed appreciation for their appearance.
How' our plane Include improvements for
the coming year lust as we have made them
during the pa** yem.
What we want you to do is to write in. or call
at the office, and let us know hat what are the
Improvements you would like to u« made.
Ramblin' ’Round
Christmas is past.
The New Year Is at hand.
It's a mighty good time to take an Inventory
of ourselves, as well as of our businesses; to
see where we've made mistakes, where we
may improve during the coming year.
Let’s do that, and we will have a happier
year in 1338.
The past
a buBY one with me
with you readers.
We closed shop Friday at noon to give our
force a little longer for Christmas: and I was
glad to get away from the shop and be able to
get In a little more rest and sleep.
But I did not get the reet until after Christmas
was gone, for bright and early—too early—
Christmas morning Peggy was awake, about
5 o'clock, and she refused to go to sleep again:
so all of us got up to see what Santa Claus had
brought Gene and Peggy. Gene, of course,
knew to look for Santa, but it was Peggy's first
year to know anything about Christman—last
year she was too nmol].
She is craiy about dolls, so she was delight
ed with the doll she got Christmas. To her it
makes but little difference what else she re
ceived. Gene seemed more interested in fire
works. the very thing I'm afraid of and would
rather he would not have. They're dangerous.
On Christmas day all of our family gathered
in Mt. Olive, with my sister, Mrs. David Potts.
( By "all of the family" I mean my Mother and
! all brothers and sisters and their children.
That's a custom we have had for several
years. With the exception of two times I have
always been with the family at Christmas time.
Back In 1923 I was In the Seminary at Louis
ville, Ky„ and we had only one day off, so 1
could not get home; then while In Bristol. Vir
ginia, I was sick one Christmas and did not gel
home until after the beginning of the new year.
At Mt Olive we had a good dinner, spread
in the yard; had a Christmas tree; and had a
good time in general.
Prior to our going to Mt. Clive we had gone
up to Pikeville to have breakfast with the
Hams and to share in their Christmas tree too
All oi their family, with the exception of David
Ham, was prcsont Mr. and Mis. Hoyle Efird
of Gastonia, Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Sherard, Jr,
and our family of Goldsboro. We went bacli
to Pikeville in the afternoon to be with Mrs,
Roberts' folks again, and to help eat the fine
turkey we had missed art noon.
On the way from Pikeville to Mt. Olive li
the morning I stopped over in Goldsboro lone
eiyugh to ' tie the knot'' for Cooper Thomas
and Miss Edna Gurley, a line couple of the
Nahunta section oi this county. The marriagt
took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. R
Thomas, unde and aunt of the groom. Just c
year ago I married a couple. Mr. Braxton iron
near LaGrang# was the man. but I don't iu»
now recall the bride's name.
1 That five-o'clock rising Christmas morning
didn't sound like resting—and it wasn't—but
made up for it Sunday morning. I had plannee
to go to Sunday school, but when we awokt
! 1 and looked al the watch it was already Sun
1 day school time, so I kept on sleeping and dir
! not get out of bed until near 1 o'clock in fh<
afternoon. In that way I made up for some o
’ the sleep lost in helping Gene and Peggy en
| Joy Christinas.
1 On Sunday afternoon we drove out by mi
1 Brother Dick's home and he and Emogene. hb
| wife, and my family took a drive to the south
ern end of the county, going down the ok
Seven Springs road to Seven Springs and ther
back to Goldsboro by way of the route on Ihi
east side of the river.
.] After passing the Weil stock farm, the bomt
,' of George Move, the home of the Walkers. lh<
. home of Mrs. Johnnie Moye. the home of MU
ford Daly, of Royle Komegay. we drove to tb«
' Cliffs on the Meuse. I can recall that a lew
v i years ago when 1 first visited the Cliffs it ap
i peared thal but few peop’e ever vl.lted them
. | but now many people go there each week, anc
I. it is not unusual to see peveral cars there am
[ Sunday you may drive down the-e. Three cart
I j were there Sunday during the few minutes wt
j were there. The Clllfs are well worth seeing—
. I there where the sand S^nogc* TJ’Un tuts Into *h«
[ | river and have been cut abruptly by the flow
ing water. I've forgotten how high the Cliffs
. are.
.. Attar leaving the Clifts «f# drove on dowr
I by John Ivey's home, down to the Springs,
where five the Maxwells, and then on through
I White Hall, where I lived when I did my first
school teaching back in 1918. Things were
! quiet there and I did not see any of the many
I people I know there. On across the river wc
1 passed the Hinson homes, passed through ths
Ivey community and hit the Goldsboro-Kinston
highway and headed back to town. We did
drive down to tho old Dobbs Courthouse sight
for Dick and Emogene had not seen the site
of the county seat of old Dobbs County, from
which, as I recall. Wayne. Leroir and part oi
Greene were formed.
We didn't tarry long in town, lor we drove
back out to Dick's home and helped them eat
a good supper which they had already pre
pared. Chicken, backbone, ham. etc., etc.
Since Sunday I'm back at the routine work
‘ and have had but Httlo time to do any ram
i bling: but I'll be seeing many oi you during
,the year which It not far ahead of us.
