Mr:' C: W. Smith believed that it

they should be turned over to the

be put it on the less traveled roads.
The hour having grown late arid
the crowd having dwindled almost to
the vanishing point Dr. Ridgell abandoned
his effort to explain his plari,
contenting himself with a letter from
the 'state highway engineer " endorsing
his plan. The letter is as follows:

TAYLOR FAMILY KEl'MOX.

Loiig and Well Spent Life.
On Thanksgiving day, after Thanks- ,
giving services at Pisgah church. the |
children of Mj\ M. L. Taylor, met at ,
the old homestead, and after exchaiig- (
ing happy greeting for a while, a table j <
was arranged in the yard and a mest j |
bountiful and delicious dinner was j <
spread of which all present partook ; ]
to their hearts full satisfaction. |<
Brother .Taylor grew somewhatji
reminiscent and talked of his return 1
from the war of the sixties, of his (
marriage in the fall of '66. of his |
family of seven children, four sons (
and three daughters, all married m
and all living. He takes a just and
commendable pride in his family. He \
has" around liim. evidences of an ac
tive, industrious life, and painstaking
labor, such as, stately ornamental and
shade trees planted in his younger
days and of buildings over half a cen- f"
tury old, still .intact, affording protc-c- *
tion and shelter from wind and 1
weather. Tie is S-l years of age, and 1
yet able >to attend his church, go to '
market, do his shopping, .and all his (
own work by himself with very little 1
outside help. *
The presence of such a company 1
gives cheer to the heart and is re- 1
freshing to soul and body. We would 1
bo glad u? sec many happy returns of (
such family reunions as was held at *
father Tavtor's on last Thanksgiving '
day. By invitation the pastor and 1
his family were present and heartily
enjoyed the occasion. 1

SUGGESTS NEIGHBORLY ACT.
"Neighbor" Ikd-ails Plan io Relieve
Burden Caused by Fire.
Editor Dispatch-News:
Tn regards to the disasterous lire
that destroyed the outbuildings, together
with all food and feed, except
a few bushels charred corn, for Mr.
M. If, Forth on last Saturday night,
kindly allow rne to suggest to the
many goo i people that came to the
help and rescue that if each would
gi\e so small an amount as two barrels
of corn in the shuck, or a similar
amount of hay, sheaf or thrashed
3ats; a few bundles fodder, etc; gradually
as Mr. Forth may use or house
iamo, his food and feed problem will
ijo solved. This will greatly lighten
lm burden of replacing his buildings.
Individually the above suggested gifts
seem shamefully small while collec:ively
the aggregate will amount to a
cry substantial sum. that the several
lonors crtn hardly miss. Sooner or j
rater -someone else will have it like
experience as Mr. Porth,?maybe the
Evriter. mtybe you. dear reader.
