'Servant of God. well done,
Thy glorious warfare's past;
The battle's fought, th? race is won,
And thou art crowned at last.
Of all thy heart's desire
Triumphantly possessed;
Lodged by the ministerial choir
In thy Redeemer's breast.
In condescending love.
Thy ceaseless prnyer is heard;
And bade thee suddenly remove
To thy complete reward.
Redeemed from earth and pain
Ah, when shall we ascend,
And all in Jesus presence reign
With our translated friend?"

RECENT RAINS DISASTROUS
The recent rains so swelled
Kings Creek that it spread out
over some farms with evil
results. Mr. Aaron We1 Is had
about forty bushels ef wheat and
about the same amount of oats
washed away iu" the shock. Lots
of small grain is badly damaged
by remaining in shock during the
incessant rains.

continue sending the pper to
the old address and the sub

papers cannot be forwarded
like letters of the first class.
So the publisher has to send

address before he knox'S whore
to send it. Post Masters are
required to notify us of
changes of address if they
know themselves, but too often
the subscriber fails to notify
the Post Master. In a contest
when lots of new names are
put on and they are handed in
b y inexperienced solicitors
many addresses are not correct ;
and in this way some papers
go astray. Now if any reaJer

paid for the Herald and who is
not getting it he will do both
the publisher and the subscrib

COMING THIS W
You know that quarter page
ad carried in the Herald two
weeks by the Kings Mountain
Realty & Insurance Co. Of
course all the readers of Tlie
Herald saw it and read all about
those big bargains in real estate.
Well, we have a subscriber In
Madison county, N. C. On last
Friday while Attorney J. it.
Davis, who is secretary-treasurer
of the company, was busily en
gaged at his desk in the realty
oftice, in walked a rank stranger.
He told his name and address. .
Brother Davis didn't ftuoiy.Wibac
to think, hut he soon found out.
Ttife stranger showed mySfgns of
light but rather had a smile on
the front sine of his head. He
was armed. Not with a gun or
1 idack jack, but with a piece, of
paiwr about eight by. ten inches.
Hj didn't strike MVr Davis right
on the head with it but handed
it to him peaaably. Hecead. It
was farmlter. It was that-. ad
which otlt far- away subscriber
had read in tbe Herald. He
wanted to buy a farm over here.
And as soon as somebody let him
know that they had one to sell
he journeyed all tho way here to
look at it. Mr. Da w was glad.
He took the gentleman out to
sec the lands described in the
advertisement. Tbe prospective
customer knew that he wasn't
being bugged for he had thu
description of the property
right in his hand, The said
gentleman practically bought
one of these farms and if he
comes he has two brothers and
four or five neighbors who
want to come too. The Her
ald welcomes all these people to
our community. Does it pay to
advertist? Mr. Davis thinks so.
This, same company carries
regularly a ten inch ad iu tho
Herald also. In this ad is men
tioned the tact that the company
writes lire insurance. As a re
sult a subscriber in Richmond,
Va., wroto Mr. Davis the other
day and had him insure his house
here. Does it pay f Folks who
try it properly think so.
A few weeks ago a subscriber
who lives nearer Shelby than he
docs Kings Mountain was fixing
to go to Shelby to take out some
tire irsurance. Before starting
he picked up the Herald for to
read a little more for ins edini-
cation while enroute. He didn't
go to Shelby, He saw the ad of
Arthur Hay, all kinds of insur
ance, in the Herald. He knew
that if Mr. Hay sold all kinds he
could certainly get what he
wanted. So he came to Kings
Mountain, took Mr. Hay up into
his automobile and carried him
right out there and Mr. Hay
wrote the insurance. - Tben he
brought Mr. Hay right back to
town, Mr. Hay got the business
and got to ride on a Ford to boot.
Does it pay? Mr. Hay thinks
so. .
