Among the Followers of the
Church of the Brethren
Sunday and Monday morning
were most delightfully spent in the!
Muddy Creek settlement by the ed
itor and family We were accom
pmied by Mr. and Mrs. John Wei
orn of Route 1 , Thomasville, and
isited their relatives in that sec
tion. While there we attended ser
ices at Fraternity, the worshipping
place of the Church of the Brethren,
also nicknamed "Duokards." There,
were three services Sunday, morn
ing, afternoon and night. About 1
o'clock dinner was spread and ev
eryone invited to partake. It was a
tine spread of good things toeat, too.
One of the strong principles of the
Brethren is brotherly love and fel
lowship and one cannot help but
feel that their kindness and consid
eration shown to one and all c mes
from the heart, and te sincere. Rare-
lv have we ever seen sucn nospi-
nitalitv and kindness

strangers, the hearty handshake; the j

shows that here brotherly love tfoes vices are following out the Bible as
out to humanity and blends itself
into a unison of feeling. The inspir
ation is invigorating.

OUR DUTY TO AMERICA IN THE
WORLD'S WAR
The Review has no patience With
people who are not loyal enough !
citizens to be unreservedly With,
America in the world's war. It ffiat
ters not- what our sentimenrs were
before the war, the fact is we are
nowat war and there is no possible
way for you or any other individual
to change conditions so long as the
present policy of the ruler of Ger
many is maintained. It is our war
now and it must be won on the prin
ciples enunciated by our President
and the statesmen of both great po- j
litical parties, less the great princi
ples of liberty and freedom for which
we stand, along with the very fun
damentals of our government perish
from the earth.
It is no child's work to successful

been travehng the even tenor of its
way, little thinking of the awful
catastrophe that would soon en
velop the world and cause us to
take a hand for the future welfare
of mankind.
The point we want to drive home
with a sledgehammer biow is "What
can I do to help my country and the
cause of humanity in this
Tef 1 1
struggle," not "What can I say or do
to binder." You must be either for
or against your country. Where
do you stand? You can't be a half
hearted American and be with your
country. You must help or rue the
day for your shortcomings. The
time is now.'not when the enemy is
on our shores. That battle line of
defense, established by our allies in
France, is just as important to .your
safety as if it was drawn up twenty
miles from your home and loved
ones. It is protecting your all just
as surely and you need to help just
as much as if it was closer to your
doors.
Just suppose every American was
like a few, where would this country
be today? Seething, with civil strife
and alien enemies and scalawags de

Isn't it time you were looking tne
matter squarely in the face as a
loyal American should ? ,
What has made Germany such a
fighting machine? It is the unity of
its people willing and ready to sac
rifice everything for the fatherland ?
Shouldn't we be just as loyal, to say
the least, in this country where free
dom is enjoyed to a far greater ex
tent than in Germany and where we
enjoy a thousand blessings to their
one ?
In the past several weeks we nave
received various communications
about1 the war which were not the
words of a patriot, hence were con
signed to the waste-basket, and we
do not intend to give publicity to
such rot. There is a principle at
stake, and furthermore if we should
become so crazy as to pulisn tnem

A CORN-SHUCKING OF TODAY
AND THE LONG AGO
The editor had the unusual yet
eAquisiie pleasure or. attending a
corn-shucking Thursday afternoon
at the home of David Weiborn, Rt.
1, Thomasviile, and "incidentally"
partaking of a sumptuous supper.
There were five shuckings that af
ternoon in the community, therefore
the crowd at this shucking was not
quite as large as was expected, but
good progress was made on the corn
piles of Mr. Weiborn and son John,
very little being left uushucked when
darkness came and suDoer was an
nounced, and such a supper it was
everything imaginable good to eat
and prepared well It reminded us
of the days of long ago when 'as a
young man we used to attend the
various corn shuckings' in Catawba ,
ana Lincoln counties, where 15U to
200 people gathered and took sides
to see which crowd could shuck its
portion first, and wh-n you came to
a red ear it was a signal to kiss the
girl next to you. Every now and
then the jug was passed and those
that needed the invigorating fluid
partook of same , Very seldom did
any one get drunk, btft under the
stimulating influence of the liquid
much corn was shucked. Today the
jug is a thin of the past ht the
red ears are iust as plentiful.
Big cook pots were used to pre
pare the pot-pies, stewed beef and
pork, and talk abom pies and cakes,
the were there in abundance, io
the good old days of long ago When
the shuckings commenced at dusk
and continued until 11 o clock or un

scores of feet kept things merry un-

I can yet hear the music, of the
banjo away across the hills (as I re
posed in bed) announcing the re
turn of the shuckers to their respec

NEWS ITEM SUGGESTS SALE,
Value of Reading Habit Shown by
Boston Man
Almost any salesman can make
money by reading the daily papers,
if he knows how to read them. They
are full of the names of possible
prospects, bo and-So has recently
come into some money he ought
to buy life insurance. So and So is
going on a journey, or has built a
house, or is going to get married.
Every item carries with it the no
tice of a need to be filled with some
kiud of goods.
Even a burglary may be tured to
account, as was proved by J. E. Bray,
an electrical salesman, of Boston.
"I had completed my evening meal
and filled my old briar, and was
starting to peruse the war items
when, I read:
M 4As Mr. and Mrs. B. returned
from the theatre la3t night and en
tered the hallway of their residence,
two men jumped out of the parlor
window and escaped. Owing to the
street lamp being shaded by trees,
they were unable to get a good Iook
at the uninvited visitors.'
"1 cut out the article and tucked
it away in my vest pocket.
"The next day I called at the ad
dress given in the article, and after
ringing the bell and handing the lady
who answered tne call my paste
board, I was invited in. Mrs. B. re
lated the story in every detail.
"My cue was when she got to the
part where the burglars ran down
the porch steps. I said, 'Mrs. B , if
vou had some kind of a light on the
porch which could be lighted from a
switch in the hall, you could have
gotten a description of the men that
might have led to their capture.
They may come back. Don't you
think it would be a good scheme to
have electric lights put on? You
could have a wall switch put right
next to your bed, and by just press
ing the button throw a flood of light
in your room. Also have a light on
the porch with a switch in the hall.'
"I pent a contractor to figure on
the job, and we landed it." Har
vester World.
DO YOUR SHOPPING AND SHIP
PING EARLY
More of "our boys" will be away
from home and family this year at
Christmas time than ever before in
our history.
On account of the enormous vol
ume of war materials and supplies,
in addition to the usual larg move
ment of holiday shipments, it will
require from now on every avail
able baggage, mail and express car
that can be put into service.
To relieve the situation and to in
sure Christmas packages reaching
their destination on time and thus
avoid disappointment the public is
earnestly requested to ship their
Christmas packages (whether by
mail or express at least ten (10)
days or two weeks before Christmas.
This action will not only be ap
preciated by the government but by
the railroads, whose already heavy
buidens they are trying to carry
with promptness and dispatch. Nor
