The school year for the Siler City school came to a close with commence ment day, May 15. During the year the enrollment reached 435 and the average daily attendance for the year was 326.7. The largest monthly aver age was 362.8, and the average for the year would probably have been about 340 but for measles and influ enza. The enrollment in the High school for the year was 136, of which 50 were from outside the local district. The average attendance in the High school for the year was 103. About 100 volumes, by purchase and by donation, have been added to the library this year. For various school purposes $545.52 has been raised lo cally during the year. The class of 1923, thirteen in number, has made a gift of furniture, to the amount of $l3O, to the library and the new school building. At a meeting of the local school board held Thursday night, Professor S. J. Husketh gave a detailed report of the work done during- the past school year which was most gratify ing.

Poe, went over in Scotand coun ty, one day last week, and made a me morial address at Brownville school house, near Gibson, to one of the larg est audiences seen in that section in ; years. It is no use saying so, but we ! were told by a spectator that Mr. Ray; made a masterly address. Dinner was served on the grounds and what the two Pittsboro men did for that dinner is hard to say.

Some of Pittsboro’s citizens have been noticing for some time that when they would take eggs from the hen’s ' nest that holes would be found peck- 1 ed in them. Last Saturday a lady ’ showed Mr. A. P. Terry some eggs < with holes pecked in them and the lady told him that the red-headed : wood-pecker, so common -around here, < was destroying the eggs. As there 1 are several of these birds raised around his house, Mr. Terry commenc- 1 ed to watch them and sure enough, s when a hen laid an egg and.came off '• cackling Mr. Peckerwood flew down to the nest to get his breakfast of \ raw eggs, but Mr. Perry would not i give it much time and the bird flew away. i There are several of these birds 1 around thfs home of the writer and for 1 some time eggs have been found < with holes in them, but they could not be accounted for. It’s all plain now. Mr. Peckerwood in the thief and from all reports the gentleman will have to move. If woodpecker holes are as hard to find as houses are in Pitts boro he’ll have a hard time getting him a new home. } — j HOW TO STOCK POND. J Can Be Obtained From U. S. Fisheries Commission, Washington. Raleigh, N. C., May 26.—Indications i are that many farmers in North Caro- ' line are interesting themselves in hav ing a farm fish pond from which they , may secure a plentiful supply of this food for home use. Just recently A. Graves Thompson, who lives at Mclv i er, in Caswell county, wrote the Agri culture Extension Service that he had a pond of about an acre in size that he wished to stock with food fish. H.H. Brimley, Curator of the State museum, answering the letter for the extension folks suggested that such a pond might well have two or three va rieties of the best kind of perch which would be better than using black bass and perch. While many farmers will prefer bass as well as perch, the bass will clean out the smaller fish in a few years. The best kind of perch as recom mended by Mr. Brimley would be blue brim and crappie, both of which reach a weight of one or two pounds. The crappie is generally known as white perch and in eastern Carolina as speckled perch. Since the State Department of Agri culture does not supply fish for stock ing, Mr. Brimley suggested that small' fry could be obtained from the United j States Fisheries Commission at Wash j ington, D. C. It is thought though that an easier and quicker way to ! stock a new pond would be to catch adult fish of the species mentioned in the ponds and streams nearby, us ing a small hook or seine, handling the fish carefully and transporting them in large, clean containers to the new pond. Mr. Brimley suggests also that some of the common sunfish or chub ’ robin might be added. Shad, roaches and minnows ought to be placed in the pond as food for the perch and plenty of bushes allowed to grow around the edge of the pond so that insects upon which the small fish feed would be at tracted to the place. All eels, cat-fish and terrapin should be excluded from the pond and flood water from the surrounding- fields kept from flow ing into it. When handled in this manner, a pond covering an acre of land would supply plenty of fish for family use. “That musician said that the tune haunted him.” “Why shouldn’t it? He murdered it.” —Jack-o-Lantern. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. On the evening of March 27th, God in His infinite love, wisdom and mercy called to himself one of our be loved and faithful members, Miss Vel na Hkithcock.

Third: That we extend our sympa thy and love and prayers to her fam ily in their Iqss. Fourth: That a copy of these re solutions be spread on the minutes; that copies be sent to her family, to the Chatham Record and to the North Carolina Christian Advocate. Respectfully submitted, Mrs. W. P. HORTON, Mrs. W. M. EUBANKS, Committee. Oakland News. Moncure, Rt. 2, May 29.—Mr. Ver non Turrentine and family, of Orange county, spent the week-end with his sister, Mrs. W. D. Burns. J. R. Knight has returned to his work in Raleigh. Mr. Moody Burns and family, for merly of Yemassee, S. C., now of Mon cure, spent a few days last week with his siter, Mrs. C. M. Eddins. Miss Mary Bridges, of Sanford, spent Sunday with Miss Lucile Thom as. The children of Mr. J. W. Womble, who have been very sick with measles, have about recovered. Misse Cornelia and Mary Harvey Love spent Saturday in Pittsboro with Misses Clyde and Mary Boone. Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Knight, of San ford, visited their .parents Sunday. Mr. Fred Knight, of Gulf, visited his uncle, C. J. Knight, Sunday even ing. Mr. Knight seems to be improv ing some but very slowly. Mr. T. L. Bums, of Pittsboro, spent the week-end with his brother, Mr. W. M. Burns. Several of this community attended services at Mt. Pleasant church Sun day. I Happening I H t Take the case of Billy Belcher. One of the finest boys in Kenmore. Bright-eyed—alert |£ m) * —ambitious —prompt—neat—a good dresser and liked by all. Billy believed in “first im- |t| pressions” —good association and was moderate, he thought in all things.

He stood shame-faced and had to admit that he didn’t have g| W so much as $lO to invest and make possible a good positoin. “I have not the money/' || were the five small words which ended the interview. || t This story—a true one—carries its own moral.
