Card Of Thanks
WINSTON-SALEM, N. C., Nov.
14.—Returning to the South;, its
birthplace, the National Grange
will hold its sixty-sixth annual
meeting irj Winston-Salem begin
ning- on Wednesday, November
16th, and lasting until Friday, No
vember 25th.
High Grange pfficials, who have
already begun to'assemble here for
the convention, regard the con
vention as one of the most signifi
cant of any yet held. These offi
cials point out that the Orange
was formed in the Southi^ about
1866 to relieve the distressed con
dition of agriculture following Che
War between Che States. The
Grange is now meeting during one
of agriculture’s most critical per
iods and upon the heels of a na
tional election. .
“This Convention,” said W. Kerr
Scott, State Master for North Caro
lina, “will likely chart the course
for national legislative action in the
interest of the American farmer for
the next four years. The progres
sive conservatism of the Grange
and its sensible way of considering
farm problems and presenting farm
needs has given It a position of in
fluence in the Nation. Those in
positions of responsibility listen to
the views of the Grange with con
sideration and respect.
“President-elect Roosevelt is a
life-long member of the Grange and
in a recent statement commending
the work of the Grange he said, T
am glad to add a word of com
mendation on behalf of this organ
ization which has done a great work
in crystallizing thought in behalf
of America’s great farming indus
try.’
“Vice-President elect Garner has
also made a very signifigant sta ce
ment in behalf of the Grange and
he said: ‘During my service in Con
gress I have come into frequent
:cntact with the representatives of
he National Grange, America’s
oldest general farm organization
It is my conviction that the Grange
seeks to promote the greatest good
for the greatest number, and that
.t stands for all that is best in th'
affairs of our rural life.’

her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. R.

Harling stumbled at the steps and
falling upset a bucket of boiling
water that nearly covered the lit

Sorry to report Mrs. T. B. Gil
christ not doing so well. She suf
fered very much Saturday. Hope
she will soon be better. Even in
her affliction of having to remain
in bed so long she always meets her
friends’ greetings with a smile.
This cold spell and icy mornings
have been rather hard on some fine
porkers in this section. Some large
meat has been butchered. Quite a
different winter from last winter.
Our young superintendent, Mr.
James Talbert, filled his office very
nicely Sunday morning. We are
very proud to see him taking such
an interest in Lord’s work.
Pastor Gurley gave us a fine
sermon Sunday morning. Despite

Sunday all were telling jokes on
each other that happened in child
