BIG SALES IN TOBACCO
MARKET AT ABERDEEN.
B. B. Saunders had the first big
day of the present Aberdeen tobacco
market yesterday when weather final
ly permitted the growers to get to
the warehouses. Mr. Saunders re
ports sales of about 100,000 pounds
at very favorable prices. Yesterday
Aberdeen took on an air of activity
after the storm and a big market is
looked for from now on.

Some of them stuck, and helped them
selves and helped the community to
get more homes. Some stuck a little
while and helped some. Some fell by
the wayside, and did little that was of
benefit. Yet that step on the part of
the Kiwanis Club brought a lot of
money into the various associations >f
the county, for there are five or six
of them in the different villages, and
it is likely that several of the young
folks have cultivated habits of saving
and thrift from the start made. Pine-
hurst, Aberdeen, Southern Pines, Vass
and Carthage have associations which
are helping to multiply homes for the
members of the association, and which
pay a liberal interest on money paid
in week by week by members who do
not borrow, and the entire amount
collected and put into buildings an
nually runs into many thousands of
dollars. Every one of the villages
has examples of what the associations
have done, the examples being sub
stantial houses and other buildings
that Building and Loan money have
provided, and more are being built
every day.

COLLEEN MOORE STARS IN

One of the funniest comedies to
reach the Carolina Theatre screen at
Southern Pines and Pinehurst in
months is “Oh Kay,” featuring Col
leen Moore, today and tomorrow, a
farce the folks here in Moore County
will flock to for a real laugh. Frank
Buchan does not appear but the film
does have a host of stars. Colleen
herself carries a cargo of appeal that
crowds the first rows.
Probably never before have roars
of laughter followed each other over
Moore County as when Colleen makes
her appearance in disguise as the
housemaid during which she serves
