It is strange how a few men
loved gold almost from the be
ginning. Back in the early davs,
when America was young, there
was the “gold rush” in California.
Histroy relates how men, some
times accompanied with their
families, treked across the burn
ing sands of the desert, traveling
in covered wagons and beset by
dangers of all kinds. The sand
storms took their toll; men died
for lack of water; languished un
der the desert sun, or were at
tacked by savage tribes of In
dians. In their craze to find, gold,
they endured all these perils,
lured on by the hope of finding
the coveted precious metal and in
their greed for it some turned
criminal; they killed; they com
mitted theft and did almost any
thing to come in posession of it.
Then there was the “gold rush”
in the Yukon territory in Canda.
This period of history is revived
and re-enacted by Sergeant Pres
ton on television. So we see again
how men braved the bitter sub
zero temperatres in order to grasp
the prize. And once more men
left all that was dearest and best
behind and risked their lives,
sometimes losing life, all because
the love they had for gold made
them forget and forsake all else.
Some struck it rich, others did
not and so lost all for naught.
In referring to his “gold rush” I
heard one man remark that the
love of a good woman was worth
more than all the gold in the
world; and there is one thing for
certain “money won’t buy back
youth when you are old, friends
when you are lonely, or a love
that has grown cold” so says the
song; therefore today in our mad
rush for wealth and position, let
us pause and reflect — Is it not
better to take time to enjoy our
families and our own humble
homes? For within the four walls
of them is the richest gold mine
in the world — the love of a good
woman and little innocent chil
dren.

THE MARK OF A GENTLEMAN
What must a man wear befdre
. you would consider him a well
dressed gentleman? I have a
friend in New York City who
; would not think of walking out
side his apartment without a
white shirt, tie, business suit and
a flower in his lapel. He told
me once that he always dressed
so he would not be embarrassed
if he were to meet the governor.
I have another friend who lives
in the beautiful city of Havana,
Cuba. He would never be caught
out in public without his hat.
If you knew him you might say
that he has a practical reason.
He needs something to protect
his shiny and hairless head from
the tropical sun. I know another
person who would feel complete
ly undressed without his garters.
I am acquainted with another
man who is never seen in public
without his wife, but I am con
vinced that this is not his fault.
Regardless of the apparel a
man may wear there is one ar
ticle he must possess if he is a
gentleman in my book. I have
seen many occasions when this
article would have been as con
spicuous as a ten karat diamond
stick pin. I am thinking of that
important item — COURTEOUS
NESS. There is a difference be
tween a well dressed man and
a gentleman. It is not important
what you wear, but it is ex
tremely significant how you act.
To be courteous is one of the
marks which distinguish man
from the lower animals. You do
not expect a dog or a horse to
be thoughtful. We have a per
fect right to expect our friends
day.) Posters are going up every
where, and people are praying to
have the greatest revival ever.
Rev. Horace McLeod is to do the
preaching and Glen Dix is to con
duct the song service. There will
be services each evening at 7
o’clock, and on Monday, Wednes
day and Friday there will be
morning services at 11 o’clock.
People everywhere are invited by
the pastor and members to at
tend.
Our sympathy is hereby ex
tended to the loved ones of Mr.
Maud Gorden who passed away
Saturday. Funeral services were
held at County Line, May God
comfort the sad hearts in this
family and in the family of a Mr.
Carpenter, who also pased away.
Mrs. Homer Long has been
quite sick. Mrs. Dial goes to the
hospital this week. Mrs. Lizzie
Steadham is still sick; so is Mrs.
Susie, Russell and Mrs. Dora
Speers. Mrs. Labon Gunn is bet
ter after a siege of illness last
week. Good wishes of better heal
th is offered to all the above.
All the young matrons who at
tended the fish supper at Mrs.
Ruby Sullivan’s reported an en
joyable time.
We are glad to note that Mr.
Harry Davis is home from Augus
ta hospital on a six day leave.

ROBERT V. OZMENT Ph. D.
Pastor Allen Memorial Church
to be considerate, and with that
right goes the responsibility to
be kind and courteous to others.
I once heard about a married
couple whose romantic enthusi
asm had begun to ebb. He for
got to be thoughtful and failed
to extend the politeness a wife
should expect. They eventually
gained the reputation of going
out together only when* the gas
stove exploded.
On their wedding anniversary,
of which she reminded him, he
remembered the first few years
of their wedded bliss. He decided
to take her out for lunch and ex
tend those little favors of gen
tleness which a lady enjoys. This
might serve to revitalize the cold
ashes of what use to be a roman
tic fire. They walked to the car
and he opened the door. When
she became aware that he had
opened the door for her and did
not intend to crawl in first she
fainted. After regaining consci
ousness, she politely thanked him
and he fainted.
Any moment is the right one
to be courteous. Any place is
the right place, and any person
is the right subject. You will
meet many people for whom you
will have only one opportunity
to do a kindness. Don’t miss it.
If we were as eager to wear
the cloak of courteousness as
many of us are to wear the lat
est fashion life would be more
meaningful. When you dress in
the morning be sure you put on
the cloak of consideration and
thoughtfulness. You will find
that it will be as useful as your
pants. You may not be a well
dressed man, but you can be a
gentleman.

IN MEMORIUM
in loving memory of my dear
husband, Oscar R Dial who left
me all alone one year ago Febru
ary 27, 1956.
One year ago this lonesome day
you left me my darling and went
away.
The days have been dreary, sad
and blue, for life is so empty
without you;
When evening shadows are fall
ing, and I am stting alone, in my
heart comes a longing darling, if
you could come home.
