to carry, last week, the ‘story of the
announcement party given by Mrs.
Wade Barber, at which the coming
marriage of Miss Emily Thompson
to Mr. Harold Jones, of Greensboro,

made through the medeum of [in
scriptions upon cupids attached to
streamers and hidden in a bowl of
beautiful flowers.
The color scheme for the occasion
was yellow and pink. Mrs. Beasley, of

li THE UNIVERSAL CAR
A NEW DEAL IN HARNETT.
Sheriff McArtan Couldn’t Stand Sal
ary Cut —Fowler Named.
Duke, Sept. 19..—Arthur R. Fowler
well known farmer, who lives one
mile from Duke, will be the Demo
cratic candidate for sheriff of Har
nett county in the coming November
elections. Mr. Fowler was named by
the county board of elections Wed
nesday in Lillington to make the race
for sheriff, J. W. McArtan, of Lilling
ton, tendered his resignation which is
to take effect January 1, 1924. Sheriff
McArtan ran ahead of the majority
of the ticket in the Democratic pri
mary in June.
The sheriff gave as his reasons for
declining to run again “that it is the
best for the party ,and that he could
not give the people of Harnett county
justice on the curtailed salary the
sheriff will receive from now on.”
The salary of the sheriff was placed
at S2IOO per annum ,when a county
tax collector was appointed by the
board of county commissioners on
Monday of this week. The election
board accepted the sheriff’s resigna
tion, and then on motion of Henry
Spears, of Lillington, Mr. Fowler was
named. M. C. Upchurch, of Lilling
ton, was also put in the running for
the office. The board named Up
church for the position of county
game warden.
Mr. Fowler was chosen as one of
the five commissioners in the late
primary, but he resigned this Monday
and accepted the nomination for
sheriff. His place was taken on the
ticket by G. K. Grantham of Dunn
who has represented Harnett county
in the state legislature. Regardless
of the outcome in November, Duke
township will provide the next sher
iff as both candidates live in about
a mile of one another. F. M. McKay,
of Duke, is the Republican candidate
for sheriff.
Henry A. Turlington, who lives on '
rural route No. 2 from Duke, was
named tax collector for Harnett coun
ty at a special meeting of the county
board of commissioners Monday at
Lillington. Mr. Turlington was select
ed from more than 25 applicants for
this office. Mr. Turlington is a resi
dent of Grove township.
| The tax collector will receive a
' commission on his collections. He will
be allowed on th first £so,v
--000,000 collected and 1 1-2 per cent
on all additional funds collected. The
office is appointive. The new collec
tor is one of the best known farmers
in Harnett ,being proprietor of the
Turlington stock farm, which raises
some of the prize winning exhibits
shown at many state and county fairs.
