SECRETLY MARRIED. Intending to keep their marriage secret until Christinas, or until the bride could be released from her school duties, iwo of our local peo ple met in Weldon two weeks ago and were married by ihe Methodist minister ai the parsonage. The siory leaked oui when a traveling man, waiting in Weldon for a train, saw Mr. P. E. Shields come oui of the parsonage with Miss Ella Mae Miller, and knowing Peie Shields thought the ma'ier suspicious. Ii was not however, until this travelling man recognized the lady here in town last week that he lold whai he had seen in Weldon. Mr. Peie Shields came frum Henderson lasi nighl, not antici pating the secret had leaked out, and when lold aboui ii this morn ing adimited ihe truth of the story, but staled thai both he and Mis; Miller had wished lo keep ihe mai ler quiet until the Christinas holi days. Scotland Neck Common wealth. CLAUDE AND NEWSPAPERS. Many of the Nonh Carolina newspapers arc going after the Hon. Claude Kiichin pretty swift just now. It seems thai Claude is Ihe evil genius who insists that papers should pay some freight in this new revenue bill. Some of ihe papers insist ihai a newspaper should pay no more on iis adver tising account than i merchant should pay on his sales account or a day laborer on his wage. Be thai as ii may, there is a strong probability ihai when the election comes Claude will have more op position than ever. Yei here is betting a dollar to a doughnul thai he w ill sweep over his district like a prairie fire. He is strong "back home," and ihe tradition of the Kiichin family is to gel in and stay in. Bill missed it but thai was because he allowed ambition lo run loo high. As a Congressman Claude Kiichin is liable lo die in ihe harness. He is just about invincible in his district. Everything. C100D SEED GOOD CROPS In the next month or two farm ers will be very busy gathering crops, and it is likely that a num ber of ihem will forget lo save seed for next year's crop. Many were unable to buy seed peas and soy beans this year on account of a shortage. Many of ihem sold their couon seed lasi fall for around 75c. per bushel and bought the same seed back this spring ai from $2 10 $3 per bushel. You probably agree with us thai this should not be ihe case. I .nod seed seleciion in ihe field will do more tow aid improving crop yields than most any oilier one thing in our control. This is especially irue wiih corn, By spending iwo days in the field in picking and pulling away for next year's use seed com from standing stalks in ihe Held every farmer who grows corn can add live bushels to his average acre of euro. It is es maied thai we will make 65,393-, 000 bushels of corn ihis year, for which ihe September price was $2.19 per bushel. By adding these five bushels lo our average acre yield you see that this will mean a good many bushels of corn extra in this Stale, as well as sev eral extra dollars in ihe farmers' pockets as a result of two days' work. r Ifew-l - I REMEMBER Your money gets into u Hank whether you put It there or not.
