VOLUME I. 1 THE PILOT NUMBER Devoted to the Upbuilding of Vass and Its Surrounding Country SUBSCRIPTION $2.00 VASS, N. C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1921 PRICE FIVE CENTS Jackson Springs Dr. A. A. McDonald and J. C. Styers were Greensboro visitors last week. Several from here were at West End Saturday night for the play by the old people. Mrs. Charles Billing and son, Sam were visiting for a few days in Charlotte. Miss Mary Bruton entertained a large numbier of her friends on Saturday from 8 until 11 p. m. at her home here. She was assisted by Miss Thelma Jewell. Derby Memorial boys basket ball team was defeated in the first of the series of the championship by the score of 14 to 7. We thought that the teachers and stu dents boarding at the Dormitory would have electric lights before this time, but there was not quite enough wire. Mr. C. W. Poole spent the week-end in Raleigh. Mr. Clyde Daughtrey and Miss Lelia, daughter of Mr. C. P. Long, were married Sunday at Rockingham. Both young peo ple are popular in this vicinity. A few days ago E. W. Bruton, agent for the N. S. Railroad here, done better than the average farmer around here. He killed nine hogs. Last week a registered Duroc Jersey sow that J, R. Clark bought at the auction sale of Durocs at Rockingham, about a year ago, gave birth to 16 pigs. The mother was so large and awkward and true to the nature of the Durocs she proved to be not a good mother by laying on her pigs and at present there are only 9 living. Are the teachers over the county and state doing their duty in organizing club work for the young people ? Club work is encouraging to young people and trains them to be better farmers. We want more scientific farmers, and to have these we must educate our boys and girls in that line of work. Mrs. R. G. Matheson who was operated on at the Charlotte Hospital last week is reported as doing nicely. There will be a debate at the Community Club meeting on Tuesday night of this week. The question is Resolved: That Gov. Morrison’s road program should be enacted by the present General Assembly. Dr. A. C. Bethune was taken to a hospital in Fayetteville Monday in a very serious condition. Late reports are that he is getting along very well. [For want of space we had to omit sev eral interesting items from the above letter—Editor.] Death of E. J. Ragsdale Nr. Editor vs. Dame Fashion News was received here Thursday morn ing announcing the death of Mr. E. J. Ragsdale, well known in Vass, and for a time a resident He was 71 years of age and is survived by a wife and two sons. The deceased had been in ill health for nearly a year, and death was not a surprise to his many friends. Interment was made in the Varina Cemetery, near Raleigh, on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Pilot Editor, a man of great taste. Doesn’t like tight skirts or the peek-a-boo waist. A great interest in styles he certainly does show If he were a designer he’d bring the skirts down low. New style hosettes even then wouldn’t do And waists be of material that wouldn’t show thru Quite a reformation would then take place No more pure men they’d bring to disgrace. “Women, women, women,” men’s conversation all the while. Do they really object to the present day style ? Or is it because a man’s mind is so vile They look on the vulgar side all of the while ? Don’t judge the women by the clothes that they wear “The Venomous Toad,” “Sheep’s clothing” “Low pearls" you’re aware Should teach us a lesson along that line. So if we would make our conscience shine We’d lay aside base criticisms ’tho they give to weary sighs. And look to the realm of modest styles with earn est longing eyes. Styles of many years ago men would not now ap prove 'Twould be better toward change of Dame fashion to make a move. So now to Mr. Editor we wish a garland of suc cess In inaugurating reforms which are needed we confess, May he work out projects to bring modest styles around And on his very busy head may there rest a shining crown Were his words.lthoughts and writings toward ac tion to wend their way He’d gain a share of our gratitude and a portibn of our praise. O’er his stately arch of triumph we would linger awile And on his gorgeous columns of victory we’d gaze with a smile. Vass Route No. (?) SUBSCRIBER. Cameron Route One Merchants Can Help Supply merchants throughout the state are being offered a chance to help bring prosperity back by co-operating with the N. C. Animal Industry Division in its ef forts to put “a brood sow on every farm— and take care of her.” Letters from Raleigh are being sent to thousands of merchants explaining how they can help themselves, as well as their communities, by getting behind the one sow on every farm idea. One of the let ters says: “When the farmer has money business is good. ‘‘A carload of eighty 200 pound hogs is worth, at ten cents a pound, $1,600. Few individual farmers can ship by carlot. Only a few more hogs on the farms in your section would make carlot shipments pos sible. “There’s your outlet for a farm product that bring more money into your territory. Besides contributions, which will be used entirely to purchase paid advertising space, merchants can help by running short sentences about hogs in their regular advertisements “Copy” for which is being furnished by the Animal Industry Division.
