It is said that Mr. Lee Farrell went
squirrel hunting last Monday and for

to town with two squirrels that he

i There will be an ice cream supper
' on the night of Saturday, September

I Houses are badly needed in Pitts
boro. Hardly a day passes but what
some one comes into The Record of
fice asking for information about
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
i passengers and Henry was able to
i enter the A. & E. College in Raleigh
i this week. The litle Ford was com
pletely wrecked while the big car had
many bruises.
Mr. W. O. Petty and Rev. 11. 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 ar.d
I treed in a small stump near the path-
I 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.
In renewing for The Record, our
good friend J. N. Eubanks was kind
enough to say “that he was proud of
the foundation upon which the Record
is being printed; first the religion of
Jesus Christ and the fight against
blockade liquor and the bootleggers
and immoral conduct. May the Lord
bless you and your effort for the up
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
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.

presented the editor with three toma- I

three pounds and three ounces. They
were certainly nice ones.
Tourists are going all over the
world to see the sights and many of
them get killed. They had better come
to Pittsboro and build a summer le
sort and live happily ever after.
On account of the hot dry weather
fishemen are bothered about getting
worms to fish with. They should see
sheriff Blair. He has plenty of worms
that came off of stills. He might—not

might not let you have them. i
THE ELKIN FUNERAL PARLOR.
| The Elkin Funeral Parlor is the
j 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- !
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!
delivered, and they have every late
and modern device for the perform
ance of the business in which they ]
have become engaged. They have a
lowering device, inside truck and 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
i 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
this paper
THEY FAILED MONDAY.
| ‘ The town commissioners of Pittsboro
j 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
i 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.
I. It is stated to this paper by one
of the gas dealers that he did not in
tend to operate his place of business
on Sunday and that the order would
be operative with him in cases of
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 i
allowing a regular business on Sunday !
of selling gas.
