Bennett, Nov. 19.—Bennett is now on a boom, many new dwellings are being erected, lots of cotton coming in and bringing a good pnce. Master Cuirord Vv uad the mis fortune to break both bones in an arm while attempting to crank a truck. It back fired and his injury is a painful one. Mr. C. C. Cheek is placing material for the building of two new residences on Raleigh street. Mr. Troy Richard son is also building one on the same street. There is a great scarcity of houses in Bennett. In fact, in many in stances more than one family lives , in the same dwelling, i Cotton continues to pile into Brew er’s gin. Farmers in this section are planning to double the acreage anoth er year. They have learned that the soil in this section produces a better staple of cotton than the other sec tions and the price is higher. Mr. W. C. Brewer started the cototn market here last year and at that time, it looked as though it was an unwise move, but it has proven a blesing to the entire section and we all appre ciate what he has done. Mr. J. H. Scott, who has been man ager for the Pennsylvania Lumber Co., Grensboro, has returned here and will spend a vacation. His many friends are glad to have him back. Rev. J. C. Kidd preached the ordi nation sermon in Greensboro on the second Sunday for a young minister who had been ordained to preach. The Bennett school is overflowing with students and a good many out siders wanting to enter here. A larger building is necessary and the proper thing to do would be for those desir ing to patronize the school here, would be to vote themselves in this district, and then let us make arrangements to build to meet the demands.. A nice piano has been purchased by the school and a music teacher has been employed. Rev. G. R. Underwood has been con fined to his bed for several days. We have missed his pleasant vists and jolly smile and trust that he will soon be among us again. Mrs. Ann Purvis, wife of the late Wiley Purvis, died at her home Sun day morning. She had suffered a stroke of paralysis a few weeks ago, and had been confined to her bed for a long time. She was the daughter of Mr. Emsley Welch, who died several vears ago. They resided near Harpers Cross Roads. Mr. J. W. Bean postmaster here, has leased the Routh roller mill and has taken charge. Mr. Bean will em ploy a miller. A postal inspector was here last week, looking over a proposed route for R. F. D. delivery. The route will leave Bennett and cross Deep river, taking in Lamberts store at Moffitts mill. This route will serve a snlendid section where it is badly needed and we understand the inspector was fa vorably impressed with the survev. BEN—NET. Cannot Drive for Five Years. As the result of the deaths of two persons and the injury of a third when his motor car overturned, Ern est Grainger, of Lincoln, Nebraska, must not drive a car for five years. In addition, he was fined $l5O and was ordered to pay $16,000 damages to re latives of the dead persons and to the injured passenger. - — a — Few Divorces in Canada. Five hundred and forty-four divor ces were granted in Canada during the year 1922, which was two-thirds of one percent of all the marriages contracted. This was at the rate of seven for every 100,000 persons in the dominion. Divorces in the United States for the same period, number ed 112 for every 100,000 inhabitants. Os the Canadian divorces, husbands received 316, or about sixty percent and wives 228, or about 40 percent. British Columbia led in the number of decrees issued, with 138, followed by Alberta, with 129, arid Manitoba with 97. One province, Prince Edward Island, granted no divorces. . Only one divorce has been granted in this province since 1868. City residents formed the greater part of the divor ced. H\ i ijh 1 fj -v- n-r .

Only three of the common birds seem to make any continual use of their valuable sense of smell. The tur tle dove (close relatives of the fam ous, now extinct passenger pigeon,) the turkey buzzard, and the iamous Canada jay, common about hu -tors’ camps in the northeastern woods and generally known as “whisky jack”, are the three “smellers.” i Buzzards gather freely wherever carrion is displayed and are valuable as scavengers. There are plenty of visible evidences of these birds actu ally do rely upon their sense of smell. Northen trappers hate this feathered robber, which they often find clutch ed in a trap which they had care ul ly set for a mink or other fur-ce ring mammal. It a Canada jay or a buz zard finds such a trap, he is pretty certain to rob and spring it. Coal and Brick. We have a supply of coal and brLk at reasonable prices. Call T. M.

They are adapt ed to various kinds of usages, the same condition pertains to feed stuffs. There are various kinds of feed, such as* oats, sweet feed, corn, chops, and the sundry elements that go to make a ration to stock and animal. The only difference in feeds is that there are pure, good feeds and feeds that are not of the very best quality. We do not | handle anything except the very best, guaranteed pro- § ducts and if you are not now' a customer of ours, call | around and let us explain the difference. If you do not | buy quality as well as quantity, you will be just like the auto tires—“all round it but not in it.” I j The same condition obtains in our grcoery depratment. | We do not make a pretense of carrying the largest stock ;t ; I | j of groceries in Chatham county but we do dote on qual-/ I | I ity, and when you need flour, meat, lard or heavy grqeer- | ies of any kind, call on us and get the lowest prices for j; | the highest class of goods. j-;- •-• U. t I T.
