FAITH.
I® Salisbury we met a smart little
boy who reads Venus’ items. He is
John' Lee Boyd, Jr., son of the district
manager of the Life Insurance Com
pany of Virginia. We also met Miss
Billie White, cashier for the Life In
surance Company of Virginia. The
is one of the prettiest business girls
in Salisbury.
Venus gets so many letters if he
were, to answer them all be would not
have time to do anything else, and
would not have time v to sleep a wink.
One wholesale business man at Wil
son, N. C., sent for a jar of
home-made Eeaema ointment today.
Mrs. C. M. Caldwell, of Salisbury,
his a violin, over one hundred years
old. He wants to know who can beat
it? v
Someone sent Venus a newspaper
clipping stating that Eras Brame had.
watermelons- In Louisburg January
Ist, and calls on Venus to beat it
Some of our neighbors ate watermelon
on January Ist at Charley and Lewis
Earnhardt’s.
Some one wrote us a letter from-
Mt. UUa Route 2, and forgot to pat
their name to the letter.
_H«r Venus: We have a walnut
cupboard that belonged to my great
great grand-father. He made it him-'
self. We have an idea it is over 2QO
years old. It is 7 feet tall. -It has no
nails -in it. It’s made with wooden
pegs. If you can beat it trot out your
cupboard. Miss Madge Tucker, Route
5, Albemarle, N. 0.
One of the readers of Venus’ items
has just made him a present of : a ten
dollar bill and a 20 dollar bill for his
collection. That’s the 4ray to do. Do
not waste It but send it
Here is a letter Venus received:
Mt. Pleasant, N> C.. Jan. 11, 1020.
Dear Venus: —l have an old family
Bible with the family record of my
great, great grandfather, James Alex

Pearl Barrier and D. M. Lone, of
Brief, spent Monday afternoon in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. John M. Kluttz.
Mr. Frank Furr doesn’t seem very
much improved at this writing.
Misses Lizzie and Annie Klutta
spent Sunday night with their Uncle
John.E. Turner, of Stanfield Route 2.
Mrs. Martin Barrier is having her
house painted.
Mrs. Luther T. Shinn delightfully
entertained a few of 'her friends and
relatives at a birthday dinner January
12th. Mrs. Shinn served a sumptuous
turkey dinner, which was enjoyed by
all.
I noticed in Venus’ items Tuesday,
where he said for them to report how
many rabbits they killed if any one
went hunting. If rabbits are as
scarce in Rowan county as they are
in Cabarrus they surely won’t get
many.
The roads are rough and muddy, but
it doesn't seem to interfere very much
as the people keep on ■ traveling.
Mrs. J. M. Kluttz received two
crates of ribbon cane syrup from
W'innsboro, Texas, last week.
Mr. Kenneth Shinn and family, of
China Grove, Edward and Clyde
Shinn, of Georgeville motored to Dav
idson county, where they spent the
night with their sister, Mrs. Floyd
Eudy.
Mr. John O. Kluttz and family spent
Sunday afternoon with their aunt,
Mrs. J. M. Kluttz.
The little son of YV. M. Auten is
right sjck with lagrippe.
Some one broke the lock on G. C.
.Shinn’s oil tank Tuesday night and
heleped himself.
FARM GIRD.
WHITE HALL.
The snow has melted. But from
the looks of the eloiwis we will have
more before 'wjuter is Over,

winter, hnd from that our farmers are
putting in. a good, stock of wood-.
Mrs. C. A. Harrison was a visitor
at the home of Mrs. R. O, Christen
bury Thursday evening.
Mr. and Mrs. S.'H. Linker have
moved into their new home.
Our sehdol is also like Roberta. It
is progressing nicely with Mr. C. P.
Wilson as principal, assisted by Miss
Dora Ilundy, Miss Willie Russell and
Mrs. Jack Host.
We believe that everyone on Rou,te

about the teachers at White Hall, that
we like them fine. , s: ■
Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Gatmon have
moved to Coneord.
The White Hall Literary Society
met Friday, January 15,' 1926. The
program was rendered as follows:
Roll called and minutes read by the
Secretary.
Declamation by Elroy Crooks.
Recitation—Dollie Garmon.
Debate—Query : Resolved, That
English is more important to people
than arithmetic. Affirmative, Morri
son Ervin, and Howard Mabry; neg
ative, Hurley Thompson and Harold
Crooks: The judges, Mrs. Jack Bost,
Miss Dora Bunday and Miss AVillie
Russell, decided in favor of the affirm
ative side.
Jokes—By Roy Christenbury.
Question box.
Critic report.
Business.
The society then adjourned to meet
on Friday, January 22, 1926.
Mr. Hoy Christenbury is still tak
ing the Pasteur treatment.
The snow helped the wheat and oats.

Post and Flagg's Cotton Letter.
New York, Jan. 18.—The harden
ing tendency to values has been in evi
dence again and is giving rise to a
feeling in some good quarters that
the market has definitely. turned, or
at all events, even if the upward
progress is at times interrupted, re
actions will meet a broadening de
mand and prove limited and tempo
rary. Advices from leading spot cen
’ ters report an increasing demand for
all grades, though more especially for
the better class of the lower grades ,
with t'.ic basis very firm.
Sentiment in drygood# circles is
Optimistic, based on the volume of
business passing at prices which,
while not productive of fabulous
wealth, arc good enough to keep the
wolf at such a distance from the door
that his howls are only faintly aud
ible. The size of the acreage is still
a moot point hut there is no belief
anywhere that the reductions, if any,
will even approximate the suggestions
put out by some classes in the South.
*T’nder the circumstances it is not
perhaps surprising that so many
hedges are l>eing put forward from
old to new crop positions with the re
sult cf a widening in ' the difference
between the crop. Such action may
prove wise but already an immense
quantity of new crops lias panned
into trade hands and any adverse
news regarding the next crop would
have a decided effect as much, of the
selling, has been for speculative short
accounts.
The prize puzzle at present* how
ever, is which month! to use as a
hedge for the actuul aud whether* the
frying pan is preferable to the fire
or the reverse. Mauy doubE if March
wilil prove at all sensationaL and
tilink holders of that month are wilit
ing to go forward to May at exist
ing differences and repeat on a larger
scale with May.
