Houses are badly needed in Pitts

some one comes into The Record of

houses. Fifty houses could be rented
here in the next 'six months.
Master Henry Bynum suffered a
severe jolt last Friday night when
he came in collission with a Cadillac
touring car, while driving on the
Chapel Hill road in his skip. There
was no serious injury to any of the
passengers and Henry was able to
enter the A. & E. College in Raleigh
this week. The litle Ford was com
pletely wrecked while the big car had
many bruises.
Mr. W. O. Petty and Rev. It. R.
Gordon went out last Friday to try
their luck at squirrel hunting. Being
unsuccessful, they were returning
home when the dog struck a trail and
treed in a small stump near the path
way, and upon investigation they
found a large mother possum with a
countless number of baby . possums.
They left them in the old stump to
mature and furnish fun for the hunt
ers this fall. j

In renewing for The Record, our |
good friend J. N. Eubanks was kind!
enough to say “that he was proud of
! the'foundation upon r hich the Record
is being printed; first the religion of
Jesus Christ and the fight • against
■ blockade liquor and the bootleggers i
; and immoral conduct. May the Lord!
i bless you and your effort for the up-j
, lift of humanity.” Mr. Eubanks also
says that he is as anxious each week
to get the Record as a sweetheart is
her letters.
We will greatly appreciate it if
our correspondents will get their let- j
1 ters to us as early as they can. Ow- ■
; ing to the fact that the electric power
is scarce and only on at night, it is
necessary that we set the type at
that time, and printing on Wednesday
forces us to cut everything short. We
’ are doing our best under the circum
stances to get out a good paper, but
we are forced to leave.out a great
many things that we really want to
print. j

were certainly nice ones.

THE ELKIN FUNERAL PARLOR.
The Elkin Funeral Parlor is the
newest establishment in Siler City.
It is headed by Mr. P. H. Elkin and
his wife, Mrs. Flora Elkins. They aie
located in the same building in which
was located the Siler City Grit, a pa
per they published for many years
with credit to the town and honor to
themselves, and in which they are nqw
operating the Paragon Press, a job
printing business.
The building has been painted in- .
side and out and thoroughly remod- 1
eled, with new flooring, petitions and
a splendid display room.
It is the intention of this new firm
to always keep on hand a supply of
coffins, caskets, robes and all neces
saary equipment to meet the demands
in Chatham county.
i A new Reo motor hearse has been j
delivered, and they have every late
and modern device for the perform
ance of the business in which they j
have become engaged. They have a
lowering device,- inside truck ar.d other .
equipment, all new and the best to be
had.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Elkins state that
it will be their intention to give this
business their personal attention and
service and that they intend to set
, a precedent for moderate charges for
the conduct of funerals, at the same ,
| time giving the very best of service.
An anouncement of their opening
date, September 6th, will be found in

i The town commissioners of Pittsboro !
was called together in a meeting on
Monday night by the mayor, Hon. A.
C. Ray, for the purpose of considering
a recent order to sell gasoline on t* e
Sabbath. Mr. Ray wanted to enter his
! protest, the order having been passed
during his absence. The matter was
left as it was and no action taken. !
j It is stated to this paper by one
of the gas dealers that he did not in- j
tend to operate his place of business
on Sunday and that the order would j
be operative with him in cases of 1
emergency only. This may be admis
sable, as there are folks who are on
long journeys and often need gas at
this point, but there is no excuse for j
allowing a regular business on Sunday ;
of selling gas.

GOOD THIS YEAR
This is the time to remember the rainy day that may
|! be ahead.
The man with a few dollars laid by for the time when
money may not be as plentiful is the man who laughs at
| adversity, and who is readiest to paddle his own canoe.
The man with money in the Bank does not need to be
1 financed when it comes time to plant another crop, or to
buy a cow or a piece of machinery.
Thrift is the greatest industrial virtue of any country,
or of any people.
Sell your tobacco, sell your cotton, sell your products
whatever they may be and get your money in the Bank
and keep it there until you actually need it. Then some
other fellow will not put it there while you wonder where
you can dig up a dollar.
' The Bank of this section is always—
The Page Trust Co.,
Sanford, N. C.
IT IS THE FOUR MILLION DOLLAR BANK,
