Kiwanians Go Into
Huddle To Pass On
The Annual Awards
Chicken Dinner Served By Baptist
- Ladies; Guests Included Two
New Citizens
After Thanksgiving.the next thing
that our minds naturally turn to is
Christmas. When .we think of ei
ther, or both, the Hist thing that
enters the mind is the eats that go
with such an occasion. When we
have finished the one, we mark time
until the other rolls around in the
course of events. The Kiwanis Club
was in for a delightful surprise Mon
day night when it met in the Wom
ans' Club room and was served a
Chicken dinner by the ladies of the
First Baptist Church. The chicken
was nice and tender, fried to Just
the right crispness, with all the
accessories that go with a regular
chicken dinner. It called to mind
the early spring when fresh vege
tables are just in and chickens are
getting to that state when they are
most delectable, the frying-stze. In
deed some of the members were so
far fooled that they inquired if the
vegetr bles were not fresh out of the
gardens. ? =w
After the meal had been disposed
of in proper form, the club meeting
was turned over to Furman Herbert,
chairman of Public Affairs Commit
tee, who went into a detailed dis
cussion of the nature of the awards
, that will be presented to the citizen
of the community who has done
the outstanding service to the com
munity during the past year, and
the Kiwanian who- has contributed
the mo6t to the advancement of the
community during the same period.
Items, such as the nature of the
awards, the method of choosing the
winners, the extent of the territory
from which contestant might be
chosen, and other items pertaining
to these awards- were discussed and
clarified, led by the chairman of the
public affairs committee and pass
ed by the club.
Guests for the evening were;
Messrs. P. D. Cashwell, the new man
ager succeeding W. B. Bourne of
the local office of the Carolina
Power and Light Co., J. D. Knight,
new manager of Knight-TUlman,
Kenneth Oakley, and Dick Currier.'

Week
ONLY ABOUT ONE AND
HALF MILLION LBS. LEFT
Sales last week for the .three days
the earket were open was not as
heavy as expected, but the price
average was about the same, a lit
tle falling off. Tobacco men tell us
the price is fully as high as it has
been at any time this season, but
the quality is not so good; this is
always the case as the market nears
a close. Monday and Tuesday the
sales were heavier, there being good
sales at all of the houses.
To date the crop, that is accord
ing to the allotment, is 80 per cent
sold, leaving only a little morg than
one and a half million pounds to
be sold.
While not .definitely settled if is
