Ten Days Revival
At Methodist Church*
The Protracted meetin* began a
the Methodist church last Sunday
and will continue for two weeks or
ten days. Rev. Griner is being
ably assisted by Rev. Hudson of
Macon. So another opportunity is
given for the uplifting and benefit
of us all. Every where we see men
and women who are weary looking
inspite of the words; “Come unto
me all ye that labor and are heavy
laden and 1 will give you rest”
The only object of this meeting
is for the good of all, inspite of any
faults and failures of our churches
they are the only institutions that
are making a stright out fight
against evil.
So rarely are opportunities real
ized, that a picture in a noted stu
dio has been painted of opportunity
as a woman with hair over the face
and wings on the feet. Because we
so seldom know it when we see it
and it is gone so swiftly. We hope
all will realize the opportunity this
meeting brings and go out; for the
king on his throne, like Saul Solo
man and David and the plowman
at his plow are made or unmade
by their religious convictions.
States and men are great only in
proportion to their possesion of God.
History is full of the lives of men
who have made the mistake of
getting God and becoming self cen
tered. Soloman in all his glory
became selfish and was selfish with
the same sort of selfishness that
makes you and me want the best
place, and the best of a trade.
Soloman began to care supremely
for him self and to look out for
number one. Compare David with
the other kings, despite his sins,
his heart meant right and he never
ceased to be a great lover of his
people and for every drop of sins
indulgence he drank deeply of the

SAD DEATH OF
MRS. B. J. WYNNE
Mrs. B. J. Wynne died very sud
denly at the family residence on
Cherry street in this city last Satur
day morning, April ist. Airs.
Wynne was formerly Miss Maud
Mosely. She was married to our
esteemed citizen, Air. B. J. Wynne,
last January.
Previous to her marriage she
had charge of a flourishing school at
Cary and had endeared herself to
all who knew her. She was valued
very highly as a teacher and the
patrons of that line community
were loth to give her up. She was
a member of a cultivated and re
fined family of North Carolina.
She had been a bride only three
months and during this short time
she nad completely won the affec
tions of her husband’s family by
her charming personality, kind and
thoughtful consideration, and in
nate refinement.
She regained consciousness just
before she died and passed out of
this world with an expression of
gratitude on her lips for the kind
ness tnat had been shown her and
praise for the husband who had de
voted the three short months of
wedded life in a continuous effrrt
for her pleasure and happiness.
She is survived by her husband,
B. J. Wynne, his son, Harry M.
Wynne; and two daughters, Mrs.
L. B. Kcnnington and Aliss Hazel
Wynne, ail of this city; her mother,
Mrs. J. H. Mosely, of Elkin, N.C.;
four brothers, Prof. J. It. Mosely,
of Macon; Prof. Al. C. Mosely, of
Byron, Ga.; Prof. J. W. Alosely, of
Forsyth, Ga.; Dr. Clias. Mosely, of
Greensboro, N. C ; three sisters,
Mrs. C. IT. Utly, Mrs. Burrows,
and Airs. Founts, of Coolemee,
N. C.
Previous to her death she ex
pressed a desire to be buried be-
neath the soil of her native state,
amid the hills near the old homestead
where the fond recollections of hap
py childhood lingered and where
the unbroken ties of nativity bound
iier in patriotic love and affection.
To this request her loyal husband
generously hut sadly acquiesced,
and on Sunday morning followed
her remains to the family burying
ground near Elkin, N. (’. and lov
ingly laid her to rest near the old
homestead in the state she loved so
well.

mage to ancient Isreal is one also
of our time, the only greatness is to
realize God tremendously.

Improvements Made
On Southern Railway*
Atlanta., March 28.- Extensive
improvements on the line between
Atlanta and Macon, involving the
laying of about twenty miles of
passing tracks and revision of grades
are to be made at once by the South
ern Railway according to announce
ment given out today by the Assist
ant to the President. The passing
tracks will be of latest design,
known as lap-sidings, which greatly
facilitate the movement of trains.
These tracks will be placed at in
tervals of about five miles and each
will Ire long enough to accommo
date four trains. This additional
trackage give many of the advan
tages of double tracks and will
greatly increase the
capacity of this important line ov
er which, in addition to the freight
and local passenger service, the
through passenger trains of the
Southern between Florida and the
West are handled. During the last
few months the Southern lias com
pleted the work of strengthening
the bridges on this line and is now
operating its heaviest locomotives
over it
These improvements will add
greatly to the facilities for handling
both freight and passeners over this
line and will prove of benefit not
only to the territory immediately
served hut to shippers and passen
gers using it for through commerce
and travel. The expenditures hr
volved are being undertaken by the
Southern Railway Company in the
desire to give its patrons the host
of service and to provide for the
great increase of business that is
hoped for in the future.
m LOSS IQ RAILWAYS
FROM 2 GENT FARE LAW,
Lansing, Midi., April 3. —That
the profit in operating steam rail
roads in AJichigan lias not fallen

show increased revenues on all
roads.

Alichigan Central earned an average
of 83,639 per mile against $4,306
per mile in 1910, when the 2-cent

A CARD OF THANKS
I desire, in behalf of myself and
family, to extend to the good people
of Cochran our sincere thanks for
their kindness and. loving attention
during the recent illness and death
of my wife.

WHY EDITORS ARE
BRANDED LIARS
Did you ever read the wedding
notice that departed much from the
following: Aliss Esti Malile Good
and Air. Sterling Worth were mar
ried last evening at the home of
the bride’s parents, Air. and Mrs.
Swell, living on Prosperity avenue,
Rev. Mr. Pig Fee officiating? Or
did you ever read of a school enter
tainment where the exercises did
not “reflect credit on the teacher,”
or of a social gathering that wasn’t
a “most enjoyable affair,” or of a
red- headed girl whose “auburn
tresses” were not much admired,
or of a funeral where the deceased
was not the embodiment of all vir
tues and where the bereaved rela
tives did not have the sympathy of
the entire community? ask the
Alavfield Mirror.
No and you never will, so lung
as you will insist on tearing the
printer man’s eyes out or wreck
his office or stop your paper every
time he tells the truth about you.
You don’t want the truth, unless
it is something had about your
neighbor, and then you are mighty
pleased and come around and tell
the editor, “That was a hot shot
you gave old Brown. Served him
right, too.” But if you stop to
notice, you will remember that you
never told the printer such a thing
when anybody else could hear you.
You were afraid, weren’t you?
And you don’t want the truth
unless it is about the other fellow,
but with you he is expected to lie.
It is an item of news when your
child fails to pass an examination
in school just as much as when he
succeeds in passing. Lord, how
mad you would get if the editor
mentioned it. Your daughter’s
running after bc-oil liaire drygoods
machinist is notorious town talk in
fact, when the wedding notice ap
pears you don’t wan’t the editor to
give a notice something like this,
j “After several months of hard work •
| Aliss AppArent Fraud has succeed-j
led in landing that young man, Mr. '
| ()y Lee Tough, who is hustling dry
! goods for Jones. The Lord knows
j she has angled long enough for a
; beau, and the town rejoices that
| she has at last succeeded in landing
a sucker.” Now you don’t want
that. If it is so, even if you are a
good Christian yourself, you wan’t
the poor editor to risk his immor
tal soul and lie about your daugh
ter. And when you get a job after
asking every man in town you
want the editor to say you “ac
cepted a position.” And when
you get fired i'ou want him to get
up on his behind legs and say that
you have “resigned a responsible
place.” No, the poor editor can
not hope to have any great repu
tation for truth and veracity so long
as you insist on his being a constant
liar about your own petty, little
contemptible affairs. And when
our poor hard-working wife goes
sixteen miles on a visit for the first
time in eightteen years, you don’t
want the editor to say so. Your
standing —great God, would not
permit of such brutality to a loving
faithful companion. Oh, no; you
don’t want the editor to tell the
truth about you. Wan’t him to lie,
now don’t you? —Elizabethtown
News.
