LONDON ELECTED SECRETARY
Last week the North Carolina Agri
cultural Society met and elected Mis.
Edith Vanderbilt president of the so
ciety for the third time. Other worK
done by tne society was the election
of Mr. H. M. London, a former Pitts
boro citizen, as secretary in place of
Col. Joseph E. Poque, who has held
the office of secretary for the past
twenty-three years.
This is a compliment to ourtowns
man and The Record guarantees that
the work of the secretary will be well
and faithfully done in the future.
In conversation last week with a
friend, Mr. London said:
“If this keeps up I am going to
have a secretary of my own. Already
i am five times a secretary and once
a treasurer. I didn’t know a thing
about this last job until eight o’clock
last night when I read a little account
of it in the paper.”
“Just what are you secretary of, on
the face of the most recent election
returns,” a congratulator wanted to
know.
“Let’s see,” said this compounded
keeper of records, counting on his fin
gers—and it is fortunate that he has
another hand left to count on—“there
is the Rotary Club, the Bar Associa
tioin, the University Trustees, Good
Shepherd Church and the Fair. I am
treasurer of the North Carolina dio
cese—l have to collect the Bishop’s
salary and pay it to him.”
FOUR LARGE PORKERS.
Mr. O. T. Cooper, of Pittsboro, Rt.
1, killed four shoats last week, two of
which were just twelve months old
and the other two eleven months old
on the Tuesday before. One of the
i pigs weighed 515 and the other 510,
tnese being the twelve months old
pigs. The other two, eleven months
old, weighed 410 and 368, respective
ly-
This netted 1,803 pounds of meat
from the four shoats. Mr. Cooper did
not tell us the kind or stock these
hogs were, but we wager they were
of some good, standard breed, which
proves the assertion that it pays to
raise good stock. It costs no more to
fatten a good hog than it does a sorry
breed.

as well as low prices in our Grocery department. m
; Now, if you want to know how you will feel when, year- 5
* trade elsewhere and get inferior goods at a higher prices
I than we sell, just turn the man’s picture upside down and
look at the expression on his face. He has since become a
customer of ours and his expression has changed. He hac£
