Some homes will be closed and the cats and chickens will be looked af ter by neighbors. They will return by the first of September and things will begin to “pick up” for fall busi People are constantly passing through iSanford traveling on foot over the highways. They include both young and old men and women and children. Families are some times seen to pass through almost in rags and in destitute circumstances. Mothers pass along leading small children. They seem to be wander ing over the country with no abjective in view. A large aeroplane came over San ford last Sunday afternoon on its way to Fort Bragg. In distress it was forced to land in a cotton field near Broadway. Upon making an ex amination the man at the controls found that the oil pipe became clog ged and would not function. The plane was badly wrecked, but for tunately the man at the controls es caped without injury. The remains of the plane were loaded on a truck and carried back to Winston-Salem. Mr. and Mrs. P. G. York and chll *dren, who spent a week with Mr. York’s people near Atlanta, Ga., re turned the first of the week. Mr. York tells The Express that the best looking crops'that he has seen this season are here in Lee county. He says the'crop* are very short in Geor gia caused by the protracted dry wea ther. He says that it has not rain ed to amount to anything in some sections of that Stale since last win ter. All crops are cut short. . I Rev. and Mrs. W. J.

Before her first marriage Mrs. Jones was Miss Mollie Roberts, of Carbon ton, She is collecting data for the purpose of writing a history of Oar bonton, her old home section. A his tory of Carbonton from the time it was first settled by the-early settlers who came into this section back in the ,days when North Carolina first became a State would make mighty interesting reading. Mr. and Mrs. Jones recently returned from Wash ington where they called on and Inter viewed President Hoover. 1 A few nights ago Mrs. Gordon Riddle dreamed that some one was making an attack upon her. When Mr. Riddle became aroused he thought that a burglar was in the house. Jumping out of bed with a pistol in hand and looking in the kitchen he thought he saw the out lines of a man standing in the shad-, oWs. He let drive and when the smoke had cleared away instead of. finding a' man lying on the floor .in the throes of death, he found a gap ing hole in the kitchen stove pipe through which a man could almost thrust bis fist.: i There are now only two Boy Scout Troops in Sanford.
