POTS ARE THRIFTY I Vegetable or Flowering Stalks Should Be Transferred Several Times. Pot-grown plants, vegetable or flow ering plants, first started Id the flats then transferred to small pots, then to larger ones, girt the best satlsfae- j tlon, and afford a sturdy plant that can be set into the open ground when tbs time comes. There Js a knack in the handling of plants for the pot-grown variety, but it is not difficult to grow them and the satisfaction obtained, as well as the pleasure, is most gratifying. The pots for growing such plants do not have to be of the store kind. Paper pots can be made at home; old cans, round oatmeal cartons, and the like, serve the purpose well. The soil preparation should be about the same kind as in the flats, with coarser soil, pebbles, broken flower pots and such, to afford drain age ; an opening at the bottom of each being necessary. Plants grown in this manner are more easy to handle when they are transferred to the open; the roots need not be disturbed, if removed when the soli is slightly damp. This will be advantageous to the plant, and it will immediately take hold. The transferring process should be begun with the stronger plants In the flats when they are about one inch high. Select the best plants for transplanting. The flat should be The Pot-Grown Pliant. watered well before the plants are removed, thus allowing dirt to ding to the roots, which should not be tom or cut, If possible to remove them intact. PRUNE THE TREES AND VINES Trimming and Spraying Only Sure Way to Obtain Good Crops Free From Disease. Fruit trees and vines must be pruned, as well as sprayed, at the proper time. Growers cannot hope to obtain fruit from trees and viqes that are neglected in this respect— and such treatment is necessary every year. The early springtime Is regarded as the best time to do this job, which should be done with the greatest of care, to save injury to the trees and vines. If one Is not experienced In the art, it would be well to get information from someone who knows; otherwise a valuable tree or vine may be ruined, or put out of possible bearing. Spraying requires equal if not more knowledge than pruning. There are so many diseases of fruit trees and vines that one must be well versed In the subject to apply the proper spray at the proper time. Many trees and vines fall to produce because of being thoroughly satu rated with disease.

Many Events Chronicled That Will In terest Our Many Readers. i | Brickhaven, July 30. — Everything 1 j ) seems to be going nicely in our little ■ village these long, summer days. The | < farmers are having a breathing spell ‘ 1 —so to speak—the melons are delic- j 1 } oas ly ripe, and we can truly say: ; the good old sumer time.” The school question is being discuss ed more or less heatedly, but we are sure everything will be settled with the interest of all at heart. It is well 1 for all to remember that there are two 1 sides to every question and that it always pays to take into consideration • the views of both factors. Little Miss Grace Harrington, after , a few days stay here with her father ( bus returned to Graham, where she is spending the summer with her aunt, Mrs. W. B. Greene. I Miss Lida Mims has accepted a po- I sition with the telephone Company at | Raleigh, and has been at her post of j duty for two weeks. Her friends wish j her success in her new work. Mr. and Mrs. Dowd Boovey and lit tle son, Dowd, Jr., and Mrs. Boovey of Charlotte, are spending some tima .here with Mrs. J. H. Overby. Messrs Frank Johnson and Johnny Evans, of Raleigh, have been spend ing a few days here (with Mr. O. C. ■ Kennedy. I Mr. Carl Overby, of McCullers, a , former employee of the Cherokee Brick Co., is here superintending the, remodeling of Mr. Kennedy’s resi- j dence. A sun parlor is being added! and with the other improvements, the j | dwelling when completed will be very j attractive. Messrs Seawell and Hannon spent i the week-end with relatives near Car thage. Little Miss Elizabeth Stephenson and her sister, Esther, were week-end , guests of Misses Eunice and Frances Thompson. I Mr. Zeb Utley spent Saturday and . Sunday with relatives in Lee county, i Our popular superintendent of the Brickhaven Sunday school, Mr. T. J. t Harrington, was unable to meet his class Sunday. We hope he will soon be out again, for none is missed more than he. Confusion reigns supreme when he is absent. The attendance was unusually large, but only a few were on time. Let us remember that the hour is 9:30 sharp. Several missed at tending church services at Moncure, because we began Sunday school late. SUNDAY AN UNLUCKY DAY. Last Sunday was an unlucky dav for automobilists and others.. R. S. Taylor, editor of the Duplin Record, was run down and killed bv a Coast Line train at Warsaw. Miss Eva Springs 17, was struck by a Southern train at White Oak Mills, near Greensboro, and killed. Ben Downer, of Lilesville, was instantly killed and Miss Webb, of Georgia, was struck by a Seaboard train and probably fatally injured at a grade crossing. A Penisylvania train near Terre Haute, Ind., struck an automobile and killed nine people. The same train at Highland, 111., struck another car and killed four. While returning from Long Island to New York, a train crashed into a car and killed five peo ple, one man and four ladies. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. To clean a sewing machine of oil and dirt, go over it with a rag wet with coal oil.

Anyone having accounts against said mill please report to undersigned and same will be settled promptly. Any one owing said mill will please settle at once or we shall proceed to collect same. Respectfully, Aug. 2. ISAAC H. DUNLAP. Persons You Ought to Know. Do you have trouble in remember ing names and faces ? It is an afflic tion for many men and women are so' sensitive. If these sensitive persons have once been presented to you, they expect you to remember them forever thereafter, and if you do not, they take offense. When they speak to you they give you a sort of challenge. They scorn to give you any cue. They look you in the eye and seem to say," “Now, who am I? Fail at your peril to recall my face and name and the circumstances under which I met you” If you are embarrassed, they revel in it, and if your memory “throws you down” they never forgive you. What a terror this must be to the politician. But does it ever occur to such folks that there are two sides to the ques tion ? Does it ever occur to them that if they think other folks delinquent for not remembering them, other folks think them very disagreeable for embarrassing them? Once a smart Aleck met Nat Goodwin and slapping him on the back, said: “Hell, Nat, old boy.” And as Goodwin did not reply in kind, added in an injured tone of voice, “Why, Nat, you don’t seem to know me.” Goodwin looked him over somewhat contemptuously and finally said, “I don’t seem to recall your face, but your manner is quite familiar.” But there are honorable exceptions. Every now and then a bright-faced fellow comes along and offers you his hand, and the moment he sees that you do not recognize him, gives you his name in the most gracious sort of way and makes you feel so comfort able that your inclination is to em brace him. You are not apt to for get him after that, and every time you think of him it is with a sense ! of kindliness akin to gratitude. “Jones my dear sir, Tom Jones, of Jonesville!. Met you at the White last summer”. | Bless your heart, Tom Jones, of Jones ville. How did we ever forget one so thoughtful and agreeable? We folks with poor memory wish our chance ac quaintances were all like you. Professional (Bards DR. ERNEST BROWN. —Chiropractor— -109 South Steele St. SANFORD, N. C. DR. J. D. GREGG, Dentist.
