is nearly t)4 years of age. He is a
good citizen and has been a splen
did farmer, and holding firmly to the
belief that it is always wise to plant
a little corn in March.
We notice that farm demonstration
work in some counties have been.tlrs
continucd. It is said that the work
was satisfactory but the farmers were
slow to take hold. This should never

most wide-awake of any in the State.
The roads are the worst they have
been in several w inters. The 'gravel
roads are bad in places.
Randolph ought to have a live stock
show and it is probably that our
county may be thus honored. It would
help to develop the live stock industry.
Every phase of the industry would
be discussed by men who are making
money and a reputation for them
selves and their State by developing
the live stock industry. Let's try and
land a live stock show.
Mr. A. G. Myrick and family, who

There has been comparatively little
sickness in Asheboro this v inter. In

It is very inspiring to sec the far
