When the inhabitants of this section arose Sunday morning they were, many of them, greatly surprised* to see the ground covered with snow. The snow continued to fall Sunday morning until a deptjj of two inches was registered. It was not so cold Sundry morning, but it grew colder toward the afternoon and evening and yesterday morning the Govern ment thermometer had fallen to 14 above zero. There has been more ster.dy cold weather here for the past month than the oldest inhabitant ever witnessed before in the same length of time. The highest the mercury rose yesterday was 37, and this morn ing at eight o'clock it stood r.t 30 above. " Awhile after night last night a stormy period again set in and a rainy, snowy, sleety night followed, the precipitation amounting to some thing like two inches. It is warmer this morning and a slow rain is fall ing. This presages slushy, sloppy streets and roads. If much cold weather and snow is a prophecy of a good crop year the J farmers may get ready for a great harve help. harvest by planning ahead for more' Profits from Two Milch Cows. Mr. H. H.

Reporter. 1 1 * TURLINGTON GRADED * ************************** The Vermont Literary Society of the Turlington tiraded School has re reived from Chapel Hill in the past week the* query for the triangular debate. The query is, "Resolved; That Congress Should Enact a Law Provid ing for the Compulsory Arbitration of Industrial Disputes.'

The query last year was, "Resolved; That the Federal Government Should Own and Operate the Railroads." Affirmative ? Solon Cotton and Carrie Brodie Sen ders. Negative ? Eva Bain and Dixon Wallace. We hope this year to win both Affirmative and Negative cides of the question, and thus surpass our last year's record. ? S. R. C. A school choir has been organized through the efforts of Miss Grace Oweif, the music teacher. This choir aided in the singing last year and proved to be very helpful. We hope that this choir will receive all possible support from the school.

R. ft ft ft SCHOOL NOTES * m * o The Board has given the domestic science class three sewing machines which were much needed. Since get ting them the class has acomplished much in sewing. We are now making garments with "Set-in sleeves." Th? Board is also equipping a kitchen and sewing room in the basement, the work was begun several weeks be fore Christmas but on account of cold weather and scarcity of carpenters, it is just being completed. We hope to have this room in use in two weeks. ? F. C. S. o There are now fourteen typewriting students in our class and all are-tiik ing a great interest. There are three new students who have started type writing since Christmas. They are: Dixon Wallace, Vcrney Peterson and Hazel Gillette. At the end of the third month Mr. Marrow was looking over the work of the class and said that it was as good or better than the typewriting done at King's Business College. So let this praise be an in couragffnent to ali to do even better in Ae future.'? W. E. T. o The boys are taking a great interest in basket ball this year. An athletic society has been formed and there are twenty-five members in the society at piesent. We have two basket bells, two courts, several guide books and several other articles at present. Two teams have been organized, a junior and senior team. These teams play well and we expeel to play and win many games in the near future. ? G. Y. R. One of the most important notes of T. G. S is that a special business course has been offered to the teach ers. Miss Grace Owen the music teach er, and Miss Roberta Coxe, fifth grade teacher, have already accepted the of fer and are making fast progress under the experienced teacher, Mr. G. T. Whitley.? R. T. o Miss Jean Abell, one of the high school students of T. G. S., has re turned to her studies after a few days' visit in Florida. Mr. George Brady, one of the for mer students of T. G. S., who has been in school at Concord, N. C., for the past two years, has returned home. He c: me over to visit the school last weel> and told many interesting things about the school there. One of the main facts he mentioned was the strictness of the school, and that no boy was allowed to write to any girl outside the family without permis sion; if he did, the punishment was three months' double drilling. We are glad to set Miss Ethel Coats of the ninth grade back in school after a long* absence on account of sickness in the home. We hope that she may catch up with her class and t>e well prepared for the examinations this week. Her broth *r, Kenneth, re turned to his work in the eighth jrade. On account of Mr. Marrow's absence n Chapel last Tuesday morning, Mr. Whitley conducted the exercises. Miss Alice Gordon, one of the for mer high schcol students left for Raleigh lr st Monday where she goes :o take a course at King's Business College. We are very sorry to note that one f our teach era, Miss Celeste McKaeh ?rn, has mumps. We hope that she >vill soon recover.

T. 1 There is a contest on between the r different grades to see which can + purchase the largest number of war ? savings stamps.

It is the port of boys + and girls today to give an example X of self-denial and sacrifice, to teach T fathers and mothers, to teach the * l rown people of the nation, that we 3 still have in every young heart the * spirit of K? il Mission Society IMedjfe Meeting. % i HI I The annual Pledge ni ???ting of the a i Woman's Ai;- senary Society of the ?
