Slig-h, of 1 Lexington, oh.Friday. They had motored.over to .attend the Masonic j meeting and naturally dropped into The Observer* office to call on ari old , Lexingtonian. We enjoyed their , company and the talk of the "old home town'V-the^ scenes of our boyhood days ?dnd it made us long for the "good old days"; it brought back many pleasant recollections of the old swimming hole on the creek, where* - the Lexington mill now stands; tne big grape vineyard near by, belonging. to Mr. Simeon Corley, and the big | hickory nut tree which stood in the ~ " * -* ??

Harman, - - now of Atlanta, Ga.; of the many afternoons spent at the head of the then Meetze's mill pond and Erby George'is, Taylor's, Barre's and Caughraan's pxjnd, catching yearling trout, perch and'"mollies." We often wonder if the surroundings now look anything lHqe-in. those day3. s None; of the party remembered the Writer, the having left Lexington in 4s83, which is some time back?but w;e remember mighty well Mr. Roof's "I- fither, E.

I The Superintendent with th Choral Club and their leader hav just returned from a profitable tri in North Carolina. The people ga\ us a good time everywhere we went They were not only kind to us, bi gave us something more substantia' We were in the Baptist Church i Mt. Holly on Wednesday evenir June 28th. It was a pleasure for tl Supt. to be with his old school-mat Pastor E. C. Andrews. He is doir big thngs. Only a few preache have the pleasure of a second call any church. Bro. Andrews fir Pastorate at Mt. Holly must ha1 been satisfactory. This place doing more building than any town city to its size we have visited sin the panic. They have plans to co tinue building for sometime yet. Bi Andrews informed us that they h; the bricks paid for to build a nc Baptist church. They are now ge ting up money to have the work dor They are kind and generous to 0 phan children. Ours will long i member the Mt, Holly people. Ranlo is a thrifty mill communi near Gastonia. The new Bapt | church is nearly completed. Br I Barnes, the pastor is a wide awa young preacher. Bro. J. J. Vipp< man is to be with him in a revn soon, which bespeaks success for t cause. We gave our Recital in t i school auditorium there, to a fine a preciative audience. We were goi to Lowell on the P. & N. but th< good people would not let us. Th took us on automobiles.

Thank you Mrs. Gribble, for 3 telling the public that We want, a 3 music teacher who has neither a giddy head nor foot. -? We were grieved for so many dear d | children, when a good mother prais j ing our teacher and entertainment. and comparing them with the average] ones said, "Our teachers teach our children to dance in spite of us. in our entertainments." We believe that it e is a sin for a Board of Trustees to 'C 1 employ teachers of this type. I have p in mind a Principal who during the e past term, told his Board that lM " would no longer be principal of a school with teachers who went to ^* dances. That is what I call a man. He proposes to. "A void the very ap*? pearances of evil." Just what we all ie should do. 0 ' Crammerton had their annual pic\<r ' 1 nic July first. They had a fine time rs 1 I and a big dinner. I have never been t0 to a finer table. Eats and drinks st were free and in abundance. Our children sang just before dinner to a 13, large crowd, and we all had a good or .. / time. ce i n Saturday night we gave our program at the school auditorium in o. ! Lowell. Bro. J. J. Waldrop, pastor ? j of the Baptist church came out and ;w ' explained that his B. Y. P. U. had an ice-cream supper at the parsonage. and that he was sorry that it conflicted with our program. "He insisted that we stay over and the superintendent preach for him Sunday igt morning. This we did. o. After our program we went over to ke the parsonage where we found a real ?r- park of five acres, alive with young ra.1 people and larger children, as happy he as could be, playing their games. Wt v.*- .. y * he used our critical eye to - thciyfcests-.of Lp. our ability. We found every game ng of the highest order. We mingled jse with the young people when they did iey not know who we were.' They used' tve no bad language. They seemed to jut feel it their duty to confer with their td- pastor and expected him to lead, and isy he. is leading them. They all have jy. confidence in him. He is. their ^rie'&d ea and they know it. / or in i GOOD D Succe NGTON y of pure drugs, r cco, and anythinj Sanitary Soda Fountain. We aduate of the South Carolina DRUi i late and Registei f mmmmmmmmmmamrnmmmamm I tried to compare this crowd of ^oungr people with a crowd in the average park, but failed, for there is no comparison. The park crowd is led by a worldy man to worldly amusements, while in this case a man of God is directing the pleasures of his young people, and they all had a good time. We enjoyed preaching to such young people as these. Bro. Waldrop has a live little church. These good people would not listen to us riding the train, but took us over to Thrift Sunday afternoon in their cars. Our children sang- to a fine congre-j gation there in the Baptist church,! Sunday, July 2nd. Bro. Brock said! that we did not have enough children i to send one to each home that wanted them. We have yet to meet a more appreciative and kinder people. We had a fine trip. Everybody was nice to us. We hope that many of these good people will visit our Home and get better acquainted with i our work. Yours truly, J. H. SPAULDING, Supt., j Economy Home, King's Creek S.
