Among the many happy RETURNS which we wish you and them, do not forget the prompt RE TURNS of your and their Income Tax.” Thus read messages sent by Gilliam Grissom, United States Col lector of Internal Revenue as one of many devices for reminding taxpayers that the time for another settlement with the federal government is fast approaching. The collector is preparing volumin ous lists of taxpayers to whom blanks I will be sent as soon after the first of j the year as possible and is giving wide publicity to the necessity of fill ing returns.

The Tobacco Growers’ Co-operative Association has increased its member ship more than 20,000 within less than a year, according to official announce ment from the Raleigh headquarters of the association, and’ will begin the New Year with a membership of over 85,000 organized tobacco farmers. Within five months of its first mar keting operation the association has received 117,937,109 pounds of tobac co from deliveries by its members. More than $12,000,000 in cash have already been distributed to the co-op- erative growers and the second pay ment to be made this month to as sociation members in the Old Belt of Virginia and Western North Carolina will bring the total disbursements of the big tobacco co-operative to $19,- 248,895.64, with further payment as sured in the not far distant future. From South Carolina 15,356,940 pounds have been delivered by co operative growers. In North Caro lina 56,771,454 pounds have reached the co-operative floors. In Virginia Bright District the members have de livered 39,025,676 pounds to date. The Dark Growers of Virginia have mar keted 6,113,095 pounds through their association and the farmers of the sun-cured area have added 669,935 pounds. With a large majority sign-up of Virginia growers in the association and amounts of tobacco still to be brought in by growers of the bright, the dark and the sun-cured leaf in the old belt, the association is certain to make a splendid record for deliveries in this its first year of operation. According to a recent announce ment of the directors, the association was never in so strong a position as it holds today. Large and successful sales to leading tobacco companies continue at highly satisfactory prices. A third payment to members, will be gin in South Carolina as soon as practicable after the old belt co-opera tives have doubled their money, by the second advance of $7,000’,000 to be paid them this month. Owing to unusually heavy receipts just before the holidays all ware houses of the Tobacco Growers’ Co operative Association in North Caro lina and Virginia will delay opening from January 3rd to January 9th ac cording to the announcement of T. C. Watkins, manager of warehouses for the association. JACKSON SPRINGS ITEMS NIAGARA ITEMS No Wonder! “Certainly. I killed my husband!” calmly said the fair prisoner at the bar. “Why shouldn’t I? I came home and found the wretch sleeping with his head on my handsome sofa pillow—” “Not guilty,” cried all the twelve juresses in one voice. No girl objects to life imprison ment as long as she is confined by wed-lock. ' Mrs. A. E. Kelly and children, of Jonesboro, visited her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Parker the past week. Miss Essie Parker, after spending the holidays at her home here, left Monday to resume her school work at Putnam.

Miss Marion Stevick who has spent the past while on a visit to her broth er, Mr. D. Wade Stevick at the Hoi- Her Cottage, left Saturday night for her home at Elyria, Ohio. Christmas passed off without any accidents here, and was one of much pleasure to young and old. The Bank of Jackson Springs is the youngest institution of its kind in this section, and its stock is more widely distributed. The deposits are small but are numerous and since its organization many can afford check " books. One of the youngest deposi tors is Franklin Bethune Woodley, the 11-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Woodley. This youngster made his mark some time ago on a check he had received from the Sandhill Fair Association for winning first prize as the healthiest boy baby an dalso the sweepstakes, while Sarah Ruth, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Currie, won first prize as the pretti est girl baby, but we have not heard whether she deposited her first prize money to grow to help with her col- ' lege education. Speaking of the bank having so many depositors, the high school seni or class although not as large as last year, is composed of 12 girls and 4, boys; when the class was notified their rings had come they were ready to write checks. One girl who had a deposit in the bank wrote a note, and sent it to her brother, by the class treasurer, for all of her funds were on the savings department and she wanted them to stay that way for, like many others, she is planning on entering college next fall. Every member of the class is planning for the future; whether their air castles will fall we can not say, but if they do they will be the first of five classes to fail in their undertakings. Carlie Freeman, the young son of Mr. and Mrs. L. Freeman of this place, died of influenza-pneumonia at the home of his brother in Norman on Thursday of last week, and the remains were brought to his home here on the same day, for interment. Mr. Freeman was twenty years old, and those who knew him say he al ways lived an upright and honest life. He was especially gifted as an auto mobile mechanic, and was employed by the Snow Lunmber Company. Be sides his father and mother he leaves several older brothers and sisters to mourn his loss, and our deepest sym pathy is extended to the bereaved family. Ralph Currie, who was well known here several years ago before going to Warrenton to high school, w^as here for a short time while spending a few days with his people at Candor, where they are now living in their old home that has recently been re modeled. After graduating at War renton Mr. Currie entered the Uni versity of North Carolina and became well known to the sport world as a fast ball player. In 1916 he was among those awarded a gold football for his excellent playing against the University of Virginia, who were the losers. In 1917 he was a member of the V. P. I. football team, and was known for his strength accurate play ing on the Virginia Technical College football team. After the close of the season he enlisted in the army and in a few months received his commission as an aviation officer, but never went over-seas as he was kept as an in structor. After his discharge from the army he remained in Texas, en gaging in the oil business. Mr. Cur rie was very much surprised at the many improvements and develop ments in the Sandhill section in the last few years. Mrs. Neill McDonald died at her home on route 2 on Tuesday morning December 19, after several months ill ness with paralysis. Her death was (Continued on page 2) MM
