A revival meeting was held in the

No better Christmas gift could be
given any one than a year's subscrip

at least 52 times during the next year.
The Courier is requested to announce

The grammar grades of the Ashe
boro graded school gave a cantata,
"Santa Claus at Miss Prim's," in the
school auditorium Friday night. The
chldren did unusually well and show
ed careful training on the part of
their instructors. The auditorium was
packed and the order was extra good.
A peddler in the employ of Jacob
Polakavetz, of Troy, was attacked by
two strange negroes in the vicinity of
Pee Dee last Friday and robbed of the
goods he was carrying. The peddler
resisted being robbed and was shot
by one of the negroes. While the
wound is serious it will not prove fa
tal. The young men of Uwharrie school,
Montgomery county, organized a de
bating society last week. W. L. Thay
er was elected president, B. B. Mar
tin vice-president and Ernest Dennis
secretary-treasurer. The first ques

seur, reports the following sales: One

Franklinville, fronting on Deep River,

Vance Cox property one half mile
from Ramseur on Deep River, 95 V2
acres, $2800.
Xow is the time to buy cottonseed
meal. It is the lowest in years and
corn is highest. Cottonseed meal
.should be governed by the price of
cotton, but such has not been the case.
'When its value as a feed is fully un
derstood its price will be controlled
not by the price of cotton, but by the
la v i 'f suoply and demand and its val
ue as a feed will fix 'its price.
Mr. Caj.sar Cone, as member of the
American Jewish Relief Committee,
has raised $1,800 as Greensboro's
contribution to Jewish sufferers
among the warring European nations.
The money was raised among mem
bers of their own faith exclusively,
all of whom gave liberally, as is evi
denced by the fact that ther? are very
few Jewish residents of Greensboro
as compared with other prosperous
North Carolina towns.
TiiP i.Avun-tnn nianntrh Kiws : "Mar
riage licenses have been issued as fol
lows: Jessie Hill and Alice Frittz:
Reece Harville and Jessie Gray
BogKs; Numa H. Clodfelter and Em
ma Motsinger; F. H. Shuler and Lu
cretia Sullivan; George Craven and
Annie Bundy. According to the record
of Register of Deeds Anderson, 346
couples were granted mariage license
during the fiscal year ending Decem
ber 1. This is a gain over 1913 of 35
couples and will easily maintain Dav
idson's proud boast of being the "mar
ryingest county in North Carolina."
Mr. C. U. Hinsh&w, of eastern Guil
ford, called at The Courier office Sat
urday on his way home from the Sand
Hill section where he and a party of
farmers composed of Messrs. John
Gamble, Pearl Curtis, Filmore Gamble

The Asheboro merchants have en
joyed a splendid Christmas trade for

absurd.

bel Parish and Miss Louella Lowe, of
the State Normal, are at home for

Every dollar you spend at home cir
