Fideli* CUa/wSTl 1 Sponsor Picture Here Those who have ehjoyed reading Gene Slratton Porter"* novel. "Girl of the Limberlost", will want to ?ee the picture when it ia ah own THursafternoon under the novices -of the Fidelia Sunday achool class at the Murphy theater. The class is aeU"t* tickets and expect a large attendance. The picture as adapted from the 'antnus novel features Marian Marsh, '-otise Dresser and Ralph Morgan, j Mr. Gardner of the Production Credit Association is to be there. It is our intention to work out at this meting definite plans for g tting cattle for the farmers in western North Cnrlina. I hope you will think this matter over carefully before coming to the meeting so that you may offer suggestions in working out '.hese plana. Some time will be saved, if between now . nd the meeting you could find out what farmers wish to obtain cattle, and the number of heads each would need. You will have to cear this in mind, however: Cattle prices have advanced considerably which will necessitate the paying of higher prices than would have been necessary earlier in the season. The later we wait to purchase cattle, the possibilities are that we shall pay higher. You should be careful not to ; promise that cattle can be secured for all who desire them, as this will depend entirely on whether or not a good grade of cattle may be found at a price they are willing to pay. Even at the.increased price, it seems desirable to proceed with this plan, a? it is not nicely tnat cattle will oe any cheaper in the next several years. Yours very truly, JOHN W. GOODMAN District Agent. o Local Post Office To Be Closed Feb. 22 The local post office will be closed all day Friday Feb. 22 in observance of Washington's birthday.
