HARRY SMITH, WELDON, N. C. THE ROANOKE NEWS Thursday, Oct. 13. 1921. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. We had several light frosts last week. Apples will be high this winter. Short crop. The last rose of summer is left blooming alone.' And sometimes a man will de ceive by telling the truth. Melancholly days the saddest of the year are with us again. It will soon be time to make that persimmon and locust beer, The sweet potato crop was not so short as at one time anticipated. ' In the old days we used to drown sorrows; now we just let them die of thirst. Apples were not selling at pres ent prices when Eve tempted Adam with one. Harvest your year, i here is ahead of us. crop early this a hard winter Mrs. E. P. Applewhite, of Bel- cross, is spending a few days with Mrs. J. P. Holoman. Your coal goes a long way when burned in Cole's Hot Blast Heat eis. Thty are fuel savers, Mrs. C. C. Payne, who has been visiting relatives and friends in Norfolk, has rei urned home. When a man tells a girl he ha; been misunderstood all his life she knows exactly what is coming next. Mrs. L. Kiuner and children who have been visiting relatives in Kingston, N. Y., have returned home. The Elizabeth Montford Ashe Chapter of the D. A. R will meet with Mrs. H. B. Harrell, Thurs aay at o r. m. We used to hear women talk about having nothing to wear, but most of them seem to be almost in thai fix now. WALNUT TREE IN BLOOM. - Reports of blooming trees in Sampson, Wake and other coun ties brings Halifax county to the tront with an English walnut tree that has bloomed three times this year. Mrs. G. C. Howell, of Tillery, sends the News and Ob server blooms and walnuts from the same tree. She writes that the tree is covered with blossoms now. The first crop was killed by the late trost. I he second crop reached maturity. The tree is an hnglish walnut grown from a nut having been grafted. It stands by two black walnut trees, which have no blooms, MUSIC CONTEST. The music department of the school will conduct a Music Mem ory Contest this winter in which every child in school will take part. 1 he department is tortunate in having Miss Bessie Gaihright, of Richmond, to come to Weldon to assist in launching this contest. Miss Gaihright made all arrange ments and conducied the business of the music memory contest con ducted in the Public schools of Richmond last winter. All patrons of the school and all interested in more music and bet ter music for Weldon, are invited to attend the chapel exercises at nine o'clock Friday morning, Oct. 1 4th, and hear Miss Gaihright ex- plain how the contest is conducted. A VERY REMARKABLE MAN. Our old friend W. L. Dickens, of Aurelian Springs, paid us a visit last Saturday. Bill never forgets to call about this season of the year, to settle his subscription. He al ways makes a good crop, hot or cold, wet or dry. He is one of the most remarkable men in the county. He is now 71 years of age and picks 200 pounds of col ton daily, milks two cows, besides doing various other things around the tarm. tie looks almost as young and is apparently as active as he was in the long ago, when we hunted flying squirrels, when attending school at Capt. Sterling Brickell's, about 10 miles from Weldon. May his years multiply, and may he continue to harvest full crop every year, is our wish. WILL PAY Q ROWERS. The better handling of peanuts will be one of the important fea tures of the the Peanut Growers Exchange, which represents more than 5,000 growers in Virginia and North Carolina. Mr. Bird- song, the General Manager, on two or three short trips out in the country this week has been so im pressed that the growers whom he found digging too early that he 4s getting out a special circular to each member of the Exchange cau lioning them against digging their peanuts before they are ready. In his opinion a considerable per cent of the immature peanuts will yet come to maturity provided we do not have frost within the next two weeks. If these peanuts are dug too soon, then there is a loss on this account and the -probabilities of further loss to the more mature nuts from being dug too green TOO MUCH BOOZE. Bill Jackson, colored, was ar rested last Saturday, having been caught by officers Crew and Brant ley with a grip full of very fine old apple brandy. He was tried before Mayor Wiggins and bound over for his appearance at the No vember term of the Superior court, and failing to give bond, was com mitted to jail.

On Friday, October 7, the mem bers of the Junius Daniel Chapter of the U. D. C. were entertained at the home of Mrs. L. C. Draper. After all business was disposed of, the report for the year was read, showing an expenditure of $85.00 for worthy causes; crosses of hon or presented to two Confederate Veterans, and iron markers placed on five Confederate graves. At the conclusion of the business meeting the hostess served a de licious salad course. Mesdames D. B. Zollicoffer, W. A, Simpson and W. S. Wilkins were guests of the afternoon. The next meeting will be held with Mrs. C. F. Gore the first Wednesday in November. WILL IT BE A COLD WINTER Most of the weather sharps seem to predict a cold winter. Their basis appears to be the fact that last winter was so mild that one milder would be hard to imagine. But while extremely mild winters sel dom come in succession, it hardly proves that they can't. By the same reasoning we are unlikely to have an autumn as beautiful as last year's when the coloring was magnificent beyond memory and when October was one long stretch of Indian summer, gracious and infinitely mellow in its hazes and its flooding sunlight. But what Nature will really decide to do with the colors of the autumn paint-box and in the selection of winter tern peraiures and storms is, in spite of all wise friends, one of the riddles which make life interesting. It will not be out of place to speak to Cleveland Carter and Harry Smith about putting in a supply of coal while coal can be had at a reasons ble figure.
