This year children who do not be come six years of age before Christ mas, will not be allowed to enter school at the beginning of the term. This is a ruling, of the school board and is a wise provision. Six years of age is as young as any child should be sent to school and seven years is better for mngg children. Please do. not ask us to take your child into school at the beginning of the term, if the child will' not be six before the 25th of December.

HB9T8 WOULD WONDER SHOWS TO PLAT FRANK LIN COUNTY FAIR I The Secretary of the Franklin Coun ty Fair Association has just closed a contract witfa the West's World Wonder Shows to play the Midway of the Franklin County Fair which will take place October 19th to123rd inclusive. The .West shows, are among the larg est coming South this year and the Fair Association is fortunate to se cure a show with such a good repu tation as the West Shows. The Wast Shows consist of thirty cars and will come direct from Rich mond, Va, where they play the Vir ginia State Fair, which is considered one of the largest fairs in the South. Tthe Fair Association is making un usual preparation for the 1926 fair and the exhibits will be the largest ewer seen at any county fair. County Agent Harris will have charge of the stock, poultry and agri cultural exhibits and be is already lining up things for the best exhibits yet shown in the county. Mr, Harris is doing a fine work in Franklin Coun ty especially with the era club boys. He advises us that the boys have the best corn he has seen in any coun ty and that he is expecting to win the State championship. The Fair Asso-; elation has agreed to oger special premiums for the first and'second in the corn club contest. I The women's departments will be under the direotlon of Miss Daisy Caldwell, Home Demonstration Agent, and" the exhibits in these departments are expected to excel any of previous years. j j Miss Caldwell has done a groat work | since she has been in the county and her services and interest in the wo j men's club work has been of great value and sho has won a large place in the heart of all the farm women. The combined efforts of Miss Cald. well and Mr. Harris have done so much to harmonize the feelings of all the people In Franklin county and we feel safe in saying that there is no county in North Carolina where such a fine feMngs exists between the peo ple of the county and the people of the towns. Franklin county will not only realise this feeling as they rub elbows at the county fair, but you will see more of the work that our two agents are doing in the exhibits that will be on i'displav at the county fair.

Mulone, Jr., secretary-treasurer of the Louisburg National Farm Loan Asso ciation attended the meetings ot the | ois local associations ot the Carolina's, Georgia and Florida last week. held at the Columbia Federal Land Bank for the purpose ot discussing the business of making long-term farm loans. How ard C. Arnold, president of the bank, | told yie delegates that tanners in these four states hare borrowed more than $77,000,000 through these associations since the bank was established nine years ago. "This means that more than 33,000 farmers have been served with first mortgages running In most instances for 33 years, at the lowest ypte of Ip, terest prevailing in the southeast Mosf borrowers have gotten their money at 6 1-2 percent the rate prevailing at present Further, the fees for inspec tion, searching of title and other work, incident to making a loan are the low-' Jest charged anywhere in these four states. . "It has been conservatively estimat i ed that borrowers are saving at least S per cent annually which would mean a total of more than $1,500,000 each^ year. "I am glad to say that farm land in these states is again beginning to sell.-j We have sold about 100 farms and still have some for sale on very easy, terms?20 per cent down, 60 per cent' carried on a long term federal land i bank loan at 5 1-2 per cent, and a sec- ] ond mortgage at the same low rate of j interest A tenant or other farmer can buy these farms on these terms, oper ate them and pay tor them more cheap ly than he can rent. The farms are' almost all located in Georgia and. South Carolina, but we have a few in1 Florida and North Carolina." ? SHOWER FOR BRIDE ELECT Bunn, August 9.?Mrs. J. 8.
