G. Smith ,f Aberdeen, started on the construc- Tion of what gives promise of being another prominent string to the Sand- iiil's bow. Matthew B.

He is one of the oldest breeders of wirehaired fox terriers in this country. Having I’ved in the Sandhills for three years, which gives him a knowledge of the community and climate, Mr. Byrnes recently bought the Hurd home at Pinehurst, and now he proceeds to e.<ablish the Blackbyrne Kennels.

The first thing to consider was the desired approach of the people of Aberdeen toward the proposition to broaden the market and after a little of the preliminar ies Murdoch Johnson asked Neil Mc Keithen for some suggestiofns and Neil fired the woods by telling the audience that Aberdeen has to show more cordiality and personal friend liness with the men who come to their market to sell tobacco. He showed how much more likely a man is to come to any place that hangs out a welcome than to one where he is never seen or heard by anybody in the place. Personal Friendliness Urged Will Blue encouraged the idea, and suggested that everybody take a hand in going to the warehouses from day to day during the market season and showing an interest in the visitors. Dan McKeithen proposed a personal visit every day and a definite effort to make acquaintances. Gloma Charles stepped on the gas by saying he would try to go to the floors three days a week. To be sure everybody is reminded to turn out in the welcom ing movement. Henry Blue proposes that each time a missionary drops in he leaves a slip telling that he has made his morning call. Doc. McLeod proposed that every man in the house take on his shoulders the task of go ing around every morning to be neighborly to the visitors, and be fore the session ended the doctor, Thad McLean, Murdoch Johnson, G. C.

Mr. McNeill As the time for the opening of the tobacco market approaches interest awakens in the prospects that face the Aberdeen warehouses. W. W. Maurer at the old warehouse, who has been on the floor year after year, and is familiar with the development of the tobacco industry, says he expects to see from six and a half to seven mil lion pounds sold in Aberdeen this fall. His conclusions are drawn from the fact that some new sections have planted tobacco in the neighborhood, and that old tobacco farms have as a rule been rewarded with good crops. Scouting over the territory by folks familiar with the crop and the prospects encourages Mr. Maurer’s opinion. The reputation of Aberdeen has been favorable during its existence as a market, with a steadily widening favored by weather conditions, al- acquaintance, which is another factor. In most sections the crop has been though some neighborhoods have more wild fire than they like. But as a rule the quality is satisfactory, and the quality is liberal to the acre. Judge Avery, who has helped to raise the tobacco industry here from its childhood, backs Mr. Maurer’s views with an optimistic opinion, and is es pecially pleased with the character of the leaf. He says his observations is to the effect that in general the qual ity of the crop in the region tributary to Aberdeen will stimulate the price as compared with some sections. In this manner he interprets the prices that were quoted in the pa pers on the opening of the eastern markets. He says more or less off color primage and lower stuff had been affected by the wet weather, and could not command a good price under any circumstances. It is notice able that at Wendell, farther toward Aberdeen, H. Lee Thomas, County Superintendent of Schools, talked in terestingly of the proposal for the county to take over the debt service of the different special charter and special taxing school districts in ^loore County, explaining in detail the workings of the plan. Mr. Thomas’s remarks elicited much discussion on the part of Ki- wanians immediately interested in the schools in the various localities and many questions were propound ed To him. As is always the case when | matters education are considered, the entire club evidenced much interest in the discussion. There are so many intricacies in the system that the averag:e layman soon gets lost in the ^aze, but this does not deter those in terested from seeking all possible in formation. Frank Buchan, Isham Sledge, Duncan ^latthews and others joined in the <5iscussion. Dr. McBrayer, in a short ^Peer-h, said that in his opinion the section was entitled to the best school facilities obtainable and that lie hoped to see a large modernly equipped high school, up-to-date in e^’ery particular and equal in standing ^ any of the high schools in Raleigh, A^iheville and Charlotte, erected at •'^ome convenient point in the Sand- ^^lls to serve all of the high school of the section.

To Aid Visitors This may all sound rather spectac ular, but it stirred up a lot of en thusiasm, and those present believe it has awakened a new idea of cor diality and hospitality in Aberdeen that will have a good influence in broadening the acquaintance of the town with its country tributary terri tory.

This is the first service since the pastor returned from a month’s vacation A marriage of much interest to friends in the Sandhills was that of Miss Mary Frances Jordan, formerly of Aberdeen, to John Ernest Schaeffer of Jersey City, New Jersey. The mar riage took place Saturday, August 29th, at the Presbyterian Chthrch of Jersey City. Walter E. Jordan, broth er of the bride, gave her in marriage. Carl Schaeffer was best man, and Miss Lucy Fisher was brides-maid. The ushers were A1 Spence and Dan Schaeffer. Mrs. Schaeffer is the popular and talented daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. Jordan. She has lived in Aberdeen most of her life, being educated in the High school here and in a Ral eigh business school. She held a re sponsible position here as secretary to John Nichols for some time, but since last February has been in Jer sey City. Mr. Schaeffer is a road contractor of Jersey City, and a son of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Schaeffer of that city. The young couple are at the home of the bride’s parents now for a visit. They plan to make fceir futuse home in Jersey City. Hemp is getting after its pro jected fair in enthusiastic form. The various, establishments up that way are favorably disposed, the country industries are join ing in, and one of the biggest features entertained is a collec tion of antiques from the farm homes that abound in the neigh borhood. The Deep river valley is one of the oldest settlements in the center of the state, Quakers from Pennsylvania, a Scotch ele ment from farther south, some of the English from the eastern colonies and the Germans who came down into the Mecklen burg region dropping a portion of the migration as the folks moved along. For three or four generations progress moved for ward up that way, and many of the older industries of the county had their seat on the river and its hills. Hand trades flourished, and from the product of those old shops and mills and house hold operations many things are still preserved on the Sheffields, Bcnsalem and Deep River hills. Many quaint things will be dug up and shown at the fair. Also many novel new things will be seen. Pottery, es«pecially has gained a prominence that will afford an interest. The Jugtown pottery, a highly artistic prod uct, has gained recognition around the world as of the high est character, while many types of less ambitious output help along with the interest. Exhibits are promised in such quantity that the fair will be un usual in its character. It is be lieved the attendance will be a feature, for with the homecoming phase folks will be attracted from many quarters, and of the older settlers and the other prodigals coming back from their years of wandering neighbors will greet neighbors they have not seen in many a day. A Country Fair in all that the name implies, a homey, friendly, interesting gathering of the rep resentative people of an old-time community, and exhibits of their work and their salvage of the things of their older days along with things strictly modem that they make now.

H. Lee Thomas, County Superin tendent of Education, had been invit ed to be present and explain the sug gestion that the county take over the debt service of the different special charter and special taxing school dis tricts of the county, which he did. The board went on record as un animously favoring the proposal. Indications are now that the Aber deen Schools will open with the larg est enrollment in their history. By reason of enonomies required by the State Board of Bquilization, under I the workings of the recent school leg islation, it is feared that Aberdeen may lose one or more of the teachers in the high school. However, the members of the Board are concern ing themselves to avoid this if pos sible. « (Please turn to Page Seven) Dorothy Case Bride of A. C.
