They treated Bun just like folks. License was issued Tuesday for the marriage of Mr. Harvey Lee Brown and Miss Magdaline Johnson, both of Matthews township. The bride is a daughter of Mr. R. H. Johnson. Mrs. George Brewer was called to Durham Sunday by the critical ill ness of her father. At this writing it is not expected that he will re cover. All the lower part of his body is paralyzed. Well, there is no question that the movies, or talkies, are here this week. The Monday night picture was an appropriate one for Armistice Day. Everybody in the county should come occasionally, even if the times are hard. Those who wish to see Dr. Mann r vat Siler City should note that he ->vill be there on Friday, November 29, rather than on his usual date of the fourth Thursday. This change is made because of Thanksgiving Day falling on the regular appointment Dr. Palmer, who was ill for quite a while, seen Saturday at Goldston, wished it understood that he is in his office now every afternoon at G Idston from 2 to 4 o’clock. In the morning he will be found at his Gulf office. He has been back at work about a month. Mr. W. A. Drake of Cape Fear township was over Tuesday morning to pay his taxes and remembered the Record. We regret to learn from him that his daughter is in very poor health. She formerly furnished us with an occasional interesting news letter from that community. Dr. Laughinghouse, state superin tendent of health, was the speaker • ’ e meeting of the Parent-Teacher A- ciation of Siler City Tuesday evening.

The old h home vacated by them is now occu f P’.ed by Deputy and Mrs. John Burns, and by Mr. A. M. Riddle and fam ily. Readers who may have occasion to call Deputy Burns, especially at ni gbt, should bear this in mind. Jhe editor broke his own record, il no one else’s, in gathering a mess °- roast’n ears on November 7. The ; n was in a protected spot and ■yed green till the big frost. It v ’ a? -darting to tassel when it came near frosting September 19. It •‘ Us ’ kept trying to make, and a few warm days would have given messes of prime corn. Rob Dixon attended the Republi (an executive committee meeting in nsboro last week, and so they ! ;n ’t come so far from endorsing “L 11 t? r t' q€ collectorship of the port M A ilmington.

A large crowd of friends and relatives was present to pay their last tribute of respect to the young man. He was a young man of fine character and was liked by all who knew him. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the family in their sad bereavement. Gulf, Nov. 12, ’29. at MRS. BREWER BEREAVED $ Friends sympathize with Mrs. George W. Brewer in the death of her father, Mr. A. A. Sears, which occurred in Durham Monday night. The funeral services and burial oc curred Tuesday afternoon. In the absence of the Baptist ministers, who were away for the Baptist State con vention, the services were conducted by one of the Presbyterian pastors of the city. Mr. Sears was 86 years of age. He was well known in hte city of Durham, where he had lived many years and reared a large famijy of children, some of whom are promi nent in business circles. i ONLY 1606 BALES Mr. M. H. Woody, special census agent for cotton ginning in this coun ty, reports only 1606 bales of cotton ginned in Chatham up to November 1. Last year, when the crop was short and late there were 2956 bales ginned to date. A normal year there should have been six or seven thousand gin ned, as 11 to 12,000 bales is con sidered a good yield for the Chatham acreage. > — WHITE RABBIT KILLED W e learn through the Sanford Ex press that a son of Mrs. Frank Knight, who lives just on the Chat ham side of the Deep, killed a white rabbit a week or two ago.

Springs was in town several days last week in the interest of real estate. On his way here he stopped over in Charlotte on business, from there he motored through Sanford and was nearing Moncure about 8 o’clock last Thursday even when as he met a car, another car tried to pass the car he met at the time the car was passing him so he was struck by the wedge between car and knocked off the concrete into a ditch, turning his car over on him. Mr. Gaston’s car was completely demolished and he was bruised up badly, althougn hop ing that he was not hurt internally. He returned to his home Saturday morning to be examined by his home doctor. Good number of other prospects were in town last week in the in terest of real estate. Her many friends are glad to see Mrs. J. L. Andrews back at home at Moncure.

She is now at Carolina Hospital, Sanford. We were glad to greet Rev. J. A. Dailey back last Sunday morning at the Methodist church here. This was ' his first sermon on the new confer ence year. Mr. Dailey always preaches good sermons and he has his work at heart. Moncure church paid its full quota, both pastor’s salary and con ference collection last year. The Epworth League met last Sun day evening at 6:45 o’clock. Miss Camelia Stedman, president, presided after calling the meeting to order and a short song service, the meeting was turned over to Prof. H. G. Self I the leader for the evening. The first thing he explained th e essay contest open to all Epworth Leaguers of high school age, 13 to 17, sponsored by the central office and the con ference league organizations of the Methodist Episcopal church, South. We hope Moncure League will have several participants. Then he took up the book, “Jesus Teaching on the Use of Money,” and lectured on the first chapters of the book. His sub ject was “Tithing,” Old Testament teaching on tithing and Jesus teach ing on tithing. The secretary, Mr. Lewis Burns, was also present. After a song, the meeting closed with the league bene diction; Armistic Day, November h Armistice Day, November 11th, passed off as usual in Moncure, only, Moncure Bank closed for the day.

The result of the investigation was the binding over of 14 men on a charge of con spiracy resulting in murder. But the judge took pains to bind the accused over to the January term of court, when a new grand jury will have been chosen. The present six-months grand jury, it will be recalled, failed to make any indictment at all. ® Even the healthy dwarf realizes that he isn’t long for this world. ************** : WANT ADS : *************** FOR REAL WORK you need real Shoes—shoes that are made of good solid leather and sewed with the best thread made.
