THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1929. i:!.********s***** * TOWN AND ! COUNTY BRIEFS * •• f C. Hall made a business trip t 0 ’ Charlotte Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Gregory spent week-end in South Boston, Va. Mrs. L. E. Farthing of Wilmington ] ia s been a guest of Mrs. J. L. Griffin. Miss Miriam Chapin was home a few days from Richmond. Also Rev. Archie Ray, a Virginia pastor, has been on a visit to his parents. Mrs. H. H. Hackney and children of Cary are spending this week with Mrs. Hackney’s parents, Mr. and C. F. Murdock, on route 3. Dr. Pierce of New Hope township was in Pittsboro Saturday accom panied by his son, Mr. N. S. Pierce, who is a senior at Catawba College. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Moffitt, Holt Moffitt, Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Hamil and son Billy, of Winston-Salem, * cpent- Sunday with Mr and Mrs. W. i M. Eubanks. * 1 Tax advertising time is at hand, •md listing time for another assess pent Death and taxes are certain, but fortunately death does not come a c often as taxes, though it lasts a mighty long time. ! Mrs. D. B. Bryan of Wake Forest < came over with Rev. and Mrs. Paul Caudill Saturday and spent Sunday ' v i*h her brothers and sister here. : Mary Griffin, of the school for NY blind, also spent the week-end < here. | n ev . C. H. Henderson, pastor of I Baptist church, who now lives , n Raleigh, was a Pittsboro visitor . M mdav. His otner pastoiates aie Caraleigh and Ephsus in W ake, and Mt. Carmel in Orange. He preached , at Lystra Sunday. While Leon Ray did not win in the oratorical contest held at Wake Forest the other day, he won the distinction of being one of the eight out of a large number of contestants from all parts of the state to attain the finals, and received a pin in recognition of his feat in reaching the finals. A.t a meeting of the Chatham branch of the cotton growers’ associ ation April 19, N. J. Dark was chosen president and H. J. Straughan sec retary. It is the general sentiment that the morale of the membership is higher than ever before. Arrange- j merits have been made by the state association to insure the lives of members at a surprising low rate. The meeting of citizens called for Mondav evening resulted in the re- i nomination of Mayor Ernest Farrell ' and Councilmen Fred Nooe, Newton Moore. Jeter Griffin. S. D. Johnson and Tom Hackney declined to be candidates, and Dr. R. M. Farrell and ; Mr. C. A. Matthews were nominated succeed them. There will prob asly be no opposing ticket. The B. Y. P. U. of the Pittsboro R;. :i?t church held a fine meeting nrn lay evening, when it was decided t 0 hnve Miss Harrison of Wake Forest, a state B. Y. P. U. worker, - end a week here at an early date. The Gum Springs B. Y. P. U. will be asked to cooperate in the work of -he week, as the. two churches have to? same pastor. Her friends and neighbors cele bruied the birthday of Mrs. Nannie P .kington with her at in Gulf township Sunday. Fifty _or sixty were present for the occasion, despite the rain. The latter, how ever, somewhat marred the occasion, as the guests were confined to the house and the table in the yard had to be abandoned. If the Record had 2000 subscribers like the brothers J. W. and L. R. Jones of Siler City Route Four, it would be fun to run the paper. Every year since we have here about this time they come in and send their subscriptions a year in ad vance. Mr. J. W. was here a while ago, two weeks before his time was up, and now he is ahead till May 15, 1930. Jame** P. Hart, a native of Chat ham and long an employee so the Cumnock coal mine, died at his home in Sanford Sunday night, April 28, at the age of 85. He wa= a brother ot Mr. Charles Hart of this county. He vas highly esteemed in Sanford. He leaves four daughters and one son, the Misses Sadie and Ema Hart, Mrs. Edith Poe, of Sanford, Mrs. J. S. Mungo, of Columbia, S. C., and James D. Hart, Jr., of Norfolk. Bonlee commencement had Rev. Z. I H. Dixon as preacher Sunday and Dr. D. B. Bryan, Wake Forest Col lege dean, as speaker Monday. Both these gentlemen are Chatham county product, we believe, and are sure about Doctor Bryan. The Moncure sermon was preached by Dr. R. T. Vann, who was pastor at W ake Forest when the editor of the Record entered college in 1888 and who yet refuses to be put upon the shelf. There are few better men than R. T. Vann. Dr. John A. Knight, who gradu ated last year at the Atlanta-South ern Dental College, writes the Record from Manchester, Ga., stating that he, located there after graduation. He says it is a “good place, but still old Chatham is hard to beat.” Dr. Knight is only five miles from the famous Georgia Warm Springs, own ed by Governor Franklin Roosevelt. Since February 1, he has been dentist for the patients of the Roosevelt in stitution, which he says is* doing a great work. Dr. Knight will keep in touch with his old Chatham friends from now through the Record. Miss Annie Moore of Gulf is visit ing relatives in Pittsboro. Robert Connell and Billie Griffin, who have been employed with rock crushing forces in various parts of the state, have spent a few days at home. Mesdames Pierce and Wilkerson, the latter now of Charlotte, have given their father’s family Bible to the Baptist church for the pulpit. The handsome volume was bought just before the death of their father, Mr. Moore. j The marriage of Mr. Clarence Dickens of Siler City to Miss Nonie ; Moore of Jonesboro, which took place . March 31 at Chesterfield, S. C., was announced only a few days ago. The couple will reside at Siler City, I where Mr. Dickens is engaged in' business. : Why Is the Engagement Ring Worn on the Fourth Finger? The custom of wearing engage-1 ment and wedding rings on the four- 1 th finger of the left hand orginated f in an ancient belief that a very deli- I cate nerve ran directly from that! finger to the heart. According to Aulus Gellius, this belief wa§ menff tioned in the Egyptian writings of Appianus in the second Cfefitury A. D. During the Middle Ages the con nection was Supposed to be a blood vessel instead of a nerve. Henry Swinburne, an English ecclestical. lawyer who died in 1623, left a quaint | observation on this subject in his “Treatis of Spousals.” “The finger on which this ring (wedding ring) is to be worn,” said Swineburne, “is the fourth finger of the left hand, next unto the little finger; because, by the received opinion of the learn ed and experienced in ripping up and anatomizing men’s bodies, there is a vein of blood which passeth from that fourth finger unto the heart called vena amoris, love’s vein.” —The Pathfinder. <g> Moron—l’ve got a dandy idea for a magazine poem. Moroff—You don’t need it, for a magazine poem.—The Pathfinder 3> Bosco—Was Helen’s marriage a happy one? Bingo—l should say it was. She was drawing alimony in less than six months.—The Pathfinder Sparks of genius have nothing in common with lovemaking. <gj NOTICE OF MORTGAGE SALE Under and by virtue of the power conferred upon me by a certain deed of trust executed, by W.

ASBESTOS ROOFS NEVER NEED L: REPAIRING j It is hard to make all the home builders - believe that a good, permanent roof can be had for the same price that an ordinary wood shingle roof will cost. Yet, this is true. Asbestos roofing in roll, shingle, or built up, can be had for very moderate prices. And the cost of repairing and re-roofing is eliminated altogether. Asbestos can’t burn, and it combats successfully all weather elements. Before you roof or re-roof let us show you samples of asbestos roofing and make quotations on cost. THE BUDD-PIPER ROOFING CO.
