Often those who file claims for ex emption with the Local Board fail to bring out all the facts in connection with their case. (The Local Board has nothing to guide them except what is set forth in the claim ), and aftfcr they have been certified by the Local and District Boards, realize this and want to file additional claims, but wait un til the day they are called into mili tary service, and the hour they r?re to report for entrainment for Camp. Then bring their friends and state ments before the local board and want exemption or extension of time. You can readily see that this is a busy and important hour ^'ith the lo cal board and it is impossible to hear and investigate your petitions at this time. We therefore take this means of giving notice that no claim or pej tition can he considered at this time. When you receive notice that you have been certified for service, don't wait until it is too late, but get your claims and affidavits in proper form and present them to the board as early as possible and wo assur? you that it is a pleasure for us to take your claim under investigation and carrect as far as we possibly can any error that has been made, through lack of full in formation or otherwise. C. M. WILSON, Chairman Local Board No. 1. October 8, 1917. )VER A HALF MILLION DOLLARS rimt Is What Was Paid Out for To bacco on the Smithfield Tobacco Market in the Month of September. More Mope.v Paid Out in One Month Than for Entire Season Last Year. It is interesting to make compari sons in the prices of tobacco one year vith another. Everybody thought that he pricey of tobacco on the Smithfield narket last year were very high, rhey had no idea of seeing this year's rrop sell higher, but every one has >een agreeably surprised. The prices :his year have gone far beyond the ?xpectations of the most optimistic How much higher they have been will readily be seen when it is learned that nore money was paid out for the gol ien weed on the Smithfield market n the month of September this year :han was paid out during the entire season last year. Last year 3,095,897 pounds of to ?acco were sold on this market for the ?ntire season. It brought the mag lificent sum of $508,402.71. More than i half a million dollars in one year For tobacco on the Smithfield market! It was great. It was talked about and wondered over. The people were high ly pleased and decided that there was jood money in tobacco. It put new life and spirit in the tobacco farmers. It put Smithfield in the forefront of the best markets in the State. But look at this ytar's record and wonder again. During the month of September with only 25 working days there were sold 1,989,973 pounds of tobacco for $523,949.73. Again more than a half million dollars was paid out for tobacco on this market and Itl f ko rnnlttl) C rt r\ I /- *v? L/\m nlnMA T nnt hi uiu iiiviiiii ui orpitiiiuvi (tu'iit'. Lidsi year for the entire season the amount paid out was less than for one month this year. Almost two-thirds as much tobacco was sold on the Smithfield market this year in September alone as was sold for the season last year. And the amount of money paid out was more than last year. This shows that as high as the price of the golden weed was last year the price is more than one-third higher this year. Over a half million dollars paid out by the bunks of Smithfield for tobac co in one month is a showing that any tobacco market may well be proud of. That distinction is one ths^t will not soon be forgotten Some of the men on the Smithfield market are the ones who started with the market when it was first estab lished. The fact they are here today shows how well placed was their con fidence ir. Smithfield as a tobacco town. What the tobacco men have dono for Smithfield is one of the biggest chapters in the town's history. Meeting at Baptist Church. The splendid meeting which began at the Baptist church on the fourth Sunday in September closed Friday night with a strong and impressive sermon by Dr. Wray. The meeting resulted in the addition, of eighteen members to the Baptist church, six of which were received by baptism. They we're baptised at the Sunday night service. Dr. Wray and Mr. Furman Betts who led the singing did some very fine work and made a very favorable im pression on the people of the town ind community. Dr. Wray left Friday night for his lome in Monroe where he is pastor of he First Baptist church. Mr. Betts, who wag. here with him through the meeting, left Saturday morning for heir home in Raleigh. THE JOHNSTON COUNTY FAIR. ' f . I I- ine Attractions l or Fair Wwk. .More and Nigger Shows Than Ever He fore. Wednesday, November 7th, Educational Day. School -Children Are Vskt-d to Come and Participate in Parade. The J hn>* >n County Fair Assoc ia- | tion has made final arrangements for one of the best County Fairs in this section of the State. The Krause Shows will occupy the mid-way and will have twelve or fifteen good high class shows, such as a "Trip to Mars," "Jubilee Plantation Show," "A Model City," Living Wonders," "La-Zora," "Performing Wild Animals" and nu merous others of equal interest. On the mid-way will be a merry-go-round, | ferris wheel, "The Whip and Merry Widow Swing. The old and the young will find entertainment in the mid way they will never forget. Victor's Band will furnish music for the occasion. The band will lead the parade, play for the races and give concerts. The Russian Dancers and Lady High Diver will entertain the people in the grand stand between races. The Aeroplane will make 'flights daily To those who read of the won drous feats by aircraft in France but have never seen an actual aeroplane in flight the sight will be well worth the trip. The secretary and the chairmen of ] the different departments have been busy lately arranging for the exhibits | which promise to be excellent. Mr. Hoover and the other national figures in the Food Conservation Campaign heartily endorse the County Fairs and the people at large should take special interest in the Fair this year that it may be a real index to the productive and conservative ideal of our county. The first day of the Fair, November 7th, has been named as Educational Day. The school children will form a line and parade to the Fair Grounds, led by Victor's Band. Liberal prizes have been offered for the best float and parade by a county school and for the best float and parade by the town school. Every school in the county should be well represented the first day. Let the people of the coun ty lay aside thejr work and worry and come to the Fair each of the three days. Every day will be a big day. THE SMITHFIELD MARKET.
