From the looks of new houses be i ing built along til road between By j num and Chapel Hill, it seems that j some of the farmers are either leav ing the city and are going back to the farms or else the farmers in this sec tion are improving their homes. Eith er way, it looks -good to the passerby, i Six new houses were counted Mon day between the above two points. Celebrates Birthday. The anniversary of Mrs. Henry A.

Sheriff Blair is doing all that can possibly be done toward reducing the amount of unpaid taxes before he be gins the task of making up his list j for advertising. He has gone to lots of expense to advise the taxpayers of the amount due, and if your name gets on the advertised list it will not be the fault of the sheriff for se has done all he can to keep this additional cost from being added to the taxes. The law says that the taxes must I be advertised after May 1, and if you have not paid and want to save this expense, you must pay before May 1.

The above will be sure enough good news for our citizens as the dust here during the summer is something fierce Archie Ray Complimented. Archie Ray, son of our townsman, Mr. A. C. Rav, is making a record at Davidson College, and is being com plimented by the Davidsonian of that citv. In it’s issue of April 19th, the following p ragraph occurred: “J. D. Bernhardt and A. C. Pay featured the last meeting of the Me trophilean Literary Society. The form er, with an oration of well selected words interspersed with sound logic showed clearlv what the preparation of a debate should accomplish. Ray, with many timely and well-chosen jokes, rocked the meeting in storms of applause and turned a solemn as sembly into a bedlam of laughter. This number of the program changed the meeting from one of a mediocre va riety to one of interest.” Program for High Exercises.
