A SUNDAY SCHOOL PARTY
Contributed.
. One of the most pleasant gather-

[ home of Mrs. L. L. Woody, Siler City,
Rt. 4, on Saturday night, August 25,
, in honor of her Sunday school class.
Garden flowers were used in the
decoration, which gave the home' a

ful fragrance.

ed on the beautiful moon-lit lawn, re
l freshments were served. Every boy
was presented a partner and they

MUST GET A PERMIT
“Chaff” in Chapel °Hill Weekly.
; Nello Merritt, son of Sanky Mer
ritt, was starting out on a squirrel
• hunt with two or three youngsters of
1 Carrboro. Nello told me something
that many people of this region will
want to know about hunting regula
tions in Chatham county. No matter
what you hunt—birds, rabbits, squir
-1 rels, anything—you must get a permit
; from the clerk of court in Pittsboro.
5 It costs you $5.00 which is a good
1 deal less than you’ll have to pay if
you fail to get it and then fall afoul
’ of the law. ;>
’ (This law is applicable to any coun
ty in North Carolina to an outsider
1 hunting within its confines. The same
condition would prevail with a Chat
| hamite desiring to hunt in Orange. It
1 would be necessary for him to go to
Hillsboro and get a $5. permit from
the clerk of the court. —Record.)
SUPPER AT HOME Mr! GRIFFIN.
Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Griffin, who
• were married in Durham last week,
arrived at the home of the groom’s

tives and friends. A fine supper had
been prepared for the home-coming
; which was greatly enjoyed by all
present.
There were six of Mr. Griffin’s
children at the home-coming, all of j
whom are married, as were four grand
children. It was a most enjoyable as- j
fair and the young and latest bridal j
couple received the congratulations
of all those present.
MRS. JONES IS IMPROVING.
Her many friends will be glad to
learn that *Mrs. Henry B. Jones is (
improving after a severe operation in !
a hospital in Durham on Monday of

MR. JOHNSON CASHIER.
It Will be a pleasure to many people
in Chatham county to know that Mr.
Victor Johnson has been made cashier
of the The Farmers Bank, at Pitts
boro. He was elected at a recent meet
ing of the board of directors and as
sumed his duties last Saturday.

support to The Farmers Bank. He was
thorough, courteous and possessed
of redeeming qualities that go to
make up a public official. We shall
miss Mr. Edwards and assure him
that any time that opportunity af

j PITTSBORO TEAM vs. RAMSEUR. J
A Good Game and Enjoyed By The
Large Crowd Present Saturday.
Two or three weeks ago the Pitts
boro ball team went over to Ramseur
to play the team there. The Ramseur
kids beat Pittsboro by a score of 9
to 7. The game was lost to Ramseur
on account of the regular pitcher, Mr.
Henry Clegg, being absent, although
Mr. Ernest Williams did remarkably
well for a man that had just passed \
his teens.
Last Saturday Ramseur came over
to Pittsboro and what the boys did!
for the visitors was A.P. Only eight
innings were played but Pitsboro only
allowed the visitors four runs, the
other seven innings being shut outs,
! and the only reason that they were
1 allowed to score at all was because
Pittsboro became careless.
Ramseur made the four runs in the
sixth.inning but this would not have
happened if June Peoples had not i
fumbled the ball on second, where he
I had a chance to make a double play,
but didn’t.
Take it all in all it was a pretty
game of ball, a little slow, it is true,
j but both sides did well and the game
'was greatly enjoyed by the large at
tendance.
