The citizens of Pittsboro can now
appreciate the street iigiits. Two
nights re.e .ty theie were no lights and
the town was as dark as Egypt, or
words to that effect. A burned out
fuse was the cause of the trouble.
Mad dogs seem to be the order of
the day. Wednesday night of last
week a supposedly mad dog entered
the yard of Mr. Has Hackney and bit
his bird dog. Mr. Hackney shot the

and killed his own dog.

Bennett, Oct. 8.-—Dr. J. R. Peace,
t Jr* T> . r ,, C. Brewer and Rev.
J. C. Kidd, attended the Sandy Creek
Baptist Association at Moncure last
week and report a pleasant time.
Com huskings, eating dumplings
and pumpkin pie is the go now around
here. The yield of corn is good and in
excess of what the farmers expected.
Good sized crowds are attending the
Jones meeting which has been on for
several nights, the preacher said at
one of his services that so many chil
dren would obey anyone else but their
parents. It was a good sermon and
contained many truths.
Mr. J. R. Peace made a business
trip to Greensboro Saturday.
The jitney line that is being run
from here to Greensboro will handle
the Greensboro Daily News commenc
ing the arrangement today. This will
give us the. daily paper not later than
breakfast time, and will be a big thing
™ r .„ s . ome our f°lks, especially Ed.
Pmllips and Will Brewer.
The fine roasting ear patch belong
ing to Dr. Denson was devoured the
other night, while Doc was asleep, by j
a cow. It reminds one of the old song:
the old grey goose is dead, the one
old Aunt Patsy was saving to make
ea^®r bed.” Dr., no doubt had
a. Pill in mind when he learned that
his treasure had been molested.
Mr. Ed. S. Phillips asked Dr. Den
son which he would rather have, a
million dollars or a clear conscience,
and this is what he replied. “I don’t
know. I have never had either, but if
I had my choice now, I think I would
take the million. I have noticed that
those who have more money than they
need manage to get along with any
old sort of a conscience.”
The school opened today with a
good attendance, and prospects are
good for a splendid school. Rev. J. C.
Kidd was present at the opening and
conducted Chapel exercises.
Mr. Tillman Kiser and wife, of
High Point, visited her sister Mrs.

tist church Sunday. i
i Mr. R. B. Kidd spent Saturday night
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J.!
L. Owen.
Mr. S. C. Brady, pne of our hust- 1
ling farmers was in town Monday
j morning with a different variety of
eggs than usual, stating that he\vas
proud of his improved stock of chick
ens. We have a good many farmers!
who have improved their cattle, work |
stock and poultry. All seem to take a 1
great delight in this and enjoy what,
. they make on their farms. They are
| glad for folks to visit them and take (
: their meals with them. Mr. Editor we j
j think you ought to pay this section a j
i visit and see how the farmers live
around here.

Baptist church Sunday night next,

CROSSING THE BAR.
(Tennyson.)
Sunset and evening star,
i And one clear call to me!
And mav there be no moaning at the
bar,
j When I put out to sea.
But such a .tide as moving seems as
leep,
Too full for sound or foam,
What that which drew from out the
boundless deep,
i Turns again home.
i
Twilight and evening bell.
1 And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of fare-
I well,
j When I embark.
For though from out our bourne of
Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
Keeping at It Wins Success.
It’s the way a man sticks l o tMng
i that marks him as a success or a
failure. Many a fellow has won out !
at the eleventh hour just because he i
wouldn’t let go. Don’t be a quitter. :
