Echoes of Route Three by B. C. Money

March weather, fly bear kite Mr. Wesley Murphy is up again after an attack of pneumonia we are glad to note. We were glad to learn that Messrs. Jenkins Williams and James Gross landed in New Castle, Ind. safely. Success to you boys, but say what about the dear wife and best girl left behind?

Miss Flora Mathews will begin a two months school at Union Cross next Monday. Her salary is paid by the Society of Friends and all parents that belong to Friends can send their children free of charge, others that wish to attend will be charged a small tuition. Miss Flora is an excellent teacher and should have a large attendance. Mr. Gray Hardy and family of Surry County, were visiting at Mr. A. C. Moneys last week. Look here, Mr. Lamford, what you been going back to Greensboro for? “Vess up.”

Rev. Franklin Warden occupied Union Cross pulpit last Sunday with his usual ease and eloquence. His text was “The good Shepherd and Crown of Glory.” His sermon was grand. The immediate neighbors have been disturbed of their rest the past two nights by some one singing, We were at a loss to know who would be so merry and light hearted as to be singing so much at night but from what we have learned, we suppose it was “Papa” Ben Colbern singing to the ten pound boy that arrived at his house last Saturday. Mr. King Bovender has moved back to his home after a five months stay with the Bohannon sawmill Company.
