The crop outlook in Chatham has improved the past two weeks de sP;te the continuance of rains. The cloudy weather after the big rrm° prevented scalding and seem to ha e proven the very thing to coun teract the damage by overplus of rain. Mr. C. C. Hall visited Charlotte this week in order to perfect ar rangements for the entry of his store- here into the Federated chain, w hich composes a thousand stores. Connection with this chain, Mr. Hall says, will give him the benefit of purchase equal to that of the largest stores, which fact should be reflect ed r: his prices later on.

C. 111 Mr. B. Nooe, of Ridgeway, S. C. was in Pittsboro Monday. Mrs. NY. H. Jones has returned to her home in Greensboro after a week’s visit to her mother, Mrs. James A. Thompson. An ice cream supper will be given Saturday evening on the church lawn. Band music will be a feature of the evening. Funds go to the church. You are invited. Mr. Gurney Williams of Bynum left Sunday for Chicago to take a course in electricity. This news comes from a young lady who says she is lonesome. Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Wren of Siler City had a narrow escape Sunday. Their car turned over once or twice and landed bottom upward, with Mr. and Mrs. Wrenn nestling unhurt in the top. Revival services began at Lystra Baptist church Williams township, Monday afternoon. Preaching this week at 3 and 8 p. m. Rev. J. Canipe, pastor at Siler City, is doing the preaching. Rev. C. H.

C., Mrs. Walter Hawkins, of Jacksonville, Fla., Mrs. Louis Nooe, of Ridgeway, S. C. Mrs. T. K. Duncan of Scotland Neck, Mrs. Norman Sharpe, of Bur lington, and Miss Lina Burnette Moore, of Bynum. Mr. and Mrs. James Cordon, ac companied by Mrs. Henry A. London, and Miss Carrie Jackson, left Tuesday for New York. Mrs. London and Miss Jackson will stop at Trenton, N. J., where they will visit Mrs. London’s daughter. Court for trial of civil cases is in session with Judge N. A. Sinclair on the bench. Judge Barnhill, who was assigned to this district for the last half-year of 1929, is holding the special term of court for the trial of the Gastonia case. Very few are in attendance, as there is no case of any great general interest. Some excitement was created on Main street Saturday afternoon when Sam Beard came jogging along in the Beard ice truck and crashed into Uncle David Vestal, who had come out from behind a car and finding the car approaching wobbled back and forth in front of it, un certain what to do. He did the right thing, jumped up and kept the car from running over him. When the radiator hit him in the middle the head struck the windshield and broke it. The scalp was cut but the injuries were not serious. 1 ■ To the guest making high score, • Mrs. Mary Peter Powen, tne hostess presented a lovely vase. To her honor guest she presented a lovely 1 hand embroidered bridge set. Miss Clara and Ethel Johnson after visiting relatives at Mt. Vernon Springs since the close of their [ schools, are at the home of their 1 brother Mr. Victor Johnson. ■ Mrs. Victor Johnson and little daughter Eleanor returned with the former’s sister Mrs. Louis Nooe for a visit at Ridgeway, S. C. Chief Justice Lysander Johnson , returned Sunday from his trip to the north. He admits being in NVashing ton when that telegram reached Cal Desern about his being “tied up,” but professes to have no recollection of having written it. That Washing ton booze must be strong. He was accompanied on the trip by his son Edwin of Durham. A Pittsboro gentleman is quite sure the telegram was a fake, since he is confident that Judge Lysander would not have the price of one from Washington. Q BEAUTIFYING THE WAYSIDE LANDSCAPE Great interest is being taken in beautifying the landscape. Too fre quently little regard is given to the beauty of rural districts when tele phone and electric lines are con structed and roads built. In writing" about roads in an editorial in the August 1 The Southern Plant er states: :“We believe in good roads and appreciate their value as an advertising agency for any state. We are confident, •however, that they will serve this purpose effectively if the beauty of the wayside is not sacrificed to the straight lines of the unimaginative mechanical mind that thinks of life only in terms of pure commercialism.” The entire editorial follows: Save the Beauty of the Wayside We think we can truthfully say that public opinion, as expressed through the actions of civic and social clubs, is with the fellow who is working to make and keep our countryside beautiful. Therefore, we j are amazed at the careless attitude of those who are building our high ways and extending public utilities to towns, villages and the open coun try. As Will Rogers would say, “We only know what we see.” Everybody is interested in extend ing the telephone and electric lines as far as possible. All thinking peo ple, however resent the way in which many represenatives of these com panies destroy the beauty of a whole village or town, or decrease the value of timberland in the open country, by ruthlessly cutting out age-old trees and putting unsightly poles in most prominent places. It is our policy to help the rural people, secure all the modern conven iences necessary to the more abun dant life. We also think our duty to warn them against unnecessary Ladies’ full fashioned silk hose, pair 79c All leather purses reduced; $2.98 bags now $2.59 $1.98 bags NOW $1.79 $2.00 ladies’ silk hose $1.69 $1.48 ladies’ silk hose $1.29 ALL PARASOLS REDUCED ALL LADIES’ NECKWEAR REDUCED FOR CLEARANCE SALE 98c collar and cuff set 85c 48c collar and cuff, set 39c $1.98 sets NOW $1.79 $2.98 sets NOW $2.59 SPECIAL LOT TOILET GOODS including shampoo, hair tonic, cologne, toilet water, also cedar polish.

To build a hard surface road also requires an enormous sacrifice of trees and top soil. The .people stand for it, hoping and expecting that the increase in land values on a good road will compensate them. Yet, in several state, we notice that after a few years, while the old road is still in good condition, a new and straighter one is seemed to be need ed. As result, more trees are hewn down, more farm land depleted and more farmers buoyed up with the hope of increased values. On the old road we find farms, and even whole villages and towns left high and dry to get along as best they can, while a shorter route from Kala mazoo to Timbuktu is made for the casual tourist. If the taxes, paid by the people of the state, are to be used primarily to make smooth and straight the paths of the tourist why was this not carefully considered be fore the first road was surveyed? If it had been, the money now being used to rectify the unnecessary mis takes, might be put to the service of our long-suffering citizen by help ing him improve the county road passing nearer his farm. In this way the isolated farmer would be rea sonably sure of getting his produce to market on time, rain or shine, his income would be increased, his home made more comfortable and his land improved. We believe in good roads and appreciate their value as an adver tising agency for any state. We are confident, however, that they will serve this purpose more effectively if the beauty of the wayside is not sacrificed to the straight lines of the unimaginative mechanical mind that thinks of life only in terms of pure commercialism. We also believe the roads may be made to serve our transient friends quite as well if the needs of our citizens are aken into consideration. # Home Economics Have you heard about the Scotch- I man who walked into the five-and ten-cent store and asked where the furniture department was?—Judge. $ From Missouri Inventor: to capitalist): “This, sir, is an epoch-making machine.” Capitalist: “Is it?

That is our prime responsibility, and if you will refer to our statement published two weeks ago, you will see how well this responsibility is observed by the Bank of Pittsboro.
