Punctured Worm in Use.
Sheriff McDonald and officers
Reynolds, Shores,Key and Rogers
broke up a 60-gallon oil drum
still in Wolf Pit, Tuesday, near
the Martha Ann Quick pond.
Two barrels of beer that was
ready to be run, was found. The
entire outfit was captured, in
cluding a fine 6-coil worm. This
worm was the same one that the
Sheriff had captured a year ago.
He had destroyed it, as he
thought, by puncturing it with
holes. It was then sold as junk
to Blacker. In some way the
blockaders secured it, repaired
the holes and put it to use again.
And now once again the law has
it and this time it will be punc
tured never to be used again.

Zion Epworth League.
On March I, 1921, the young people
of the Zion community met at Zion
church and organized an Epworth League,
assisted by Rev. D. A. Clarke. After
discussions concerning the League, the
following officers were elected: Mike
Ellerbe, president; Jim LeGrand Coving
ton, vice-president; Grace Covington, sec
retary. Mrs. R. T. Nichols, Frank and
Zack Ellerbe and Nancy Covington were
electe 1 as a program committee.
This League, which meets every Thurs
day evening at 8 o'clock has been a great
htO to the young people throughout the
c ,inmunity, and since our splendid reviv
al meeting, held a few weeks ago, each
member has taken more
interest in tbe
League. Sunday school, and all church
affairs. Even the children, who gave
their dear little hearts to God dunng the
meeting, have also taken more interest.
Mr. Clarke is the first preacher we've ever
had to preach to the children and through
him, many precious little souls were
saved. These children are a great help
in our League, and they can be of greater
service to God and man if they will con
tinue their good work.
Our last meeting was held last Thurs
day evening, and after an interesting pro
gram, two new officers were elected. Jim
LeGrand Covington, president and Buck
Ellerbe, vice president. We hope these
boys will keep up their interest and con
tinue their good work, and we feel sure
they will.
Our League has been very successful.
and a great influence over the young peo
ple of the Zion community, and let us, as
members, by the help of God, co-operate
and strive to make it what it should be.
