? 5
(The Observer, Newberry) ;
We were delighted to have a visit . <
from Br. G. F. Roberts, L. B Roof, fi
VE. F. Roberts and Ira M. 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
~ " * -* ?? V> o ronrt to
edge or tne vxney?nu. vu (
the swimming hole, just below the
Port residence on the opposite side
of the road; "The Rocks", another
bathing place a little further up the
creek, :.ow covered by the big pond,
on the opposite of which was "Lo\ era*
Leap", so named by our boyhood
friend and poet, Henry E. 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. Belton Roof, and his uncle,
* "ST W>
P? Roof, our Sunday school:
teacher in boyhood days, and we still
fiaye among; our most cherished keepsakes,
a eojiy of the Old Testatment,
. a prize for regular attendance at Sun
day school, presented to tne writer
by Mr. Roof.
We were glad to ask concerning
many of the old friends and to know j
- V that many of them are still there and
f- ; doing well. We long for a few days
, V .at the old homestead, and some time
-r . A - v * ' K f 4 V
we expect to just "stop off" and enjoy
a visit there.
. v But we are becoming reminicent.

A PROFITABLE TRIP.
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. We ha
forgotten the policeman's name, I
will never foret his face, and kir

We were never at Dallas before this .
r trip. Here too are fine people. '
* They treated us royally. We have not 1
r found a more appreciative audience
in our travels. Mrs. Gribble wrote
- a fine article for the paper about our
o work. 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.

' 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. /

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.

Time's Changes In England.
The poacher, the trespasser, the
man who by accident lets his pigs or
heifers out upon the public road, the '
urchin who robs an orchard, and many
minor rural "malefactors" are, it is
generally claimed, being more person- '
ally dealt with by modern country '
magistrates, in England. The abolition
of the old-time benches of squires and .
landowners, whose right to be made ,
justices of the peace was almost re- !
garded as hereditary, and their substitution
by men of integrity in every
walk of life, and now by women, has
* rhflnae in rural police court
VT I V/Ufc^it t
justice which the country mind understands
and appreciates to the full. On
a country bench recently, a prominent
landowner, his agent, one of his laborers
were all adjudicating together.
