His quiet strength and fineness of feeling for his fellowman was inter woven with unselfishness, and con tributed to good administration of his office. The Board of Commissioners, on behalf of its members, gratefully records its apperciation of him by adopting the following: Be it Resolved, That the Board of Commissioners of Duplin County attest to the good administration and faithful service which Sheriff Miller has given to the citizens of Duplin County whom he faithful served.

Also from the same source - "And now comes autumn, the cherry sea son that brings the college students thronging back to the campus and the fathers thronging back to the personal loan counter." These are very true statements for it seems that September comes in like a raging torrent after the carefree life of summer. The only trouble is that the hot weather does n't disappear along with the in crease in work. One of our correspondents, Mrs. Mamie Heath of Pink Hill, reports that a stop light was removed irom an intersection in Pink Hill on Thursday night of the past week. It is thought that the light was taken by a truck going through. However investigation is still go ing on by Chief Parker. That is the first time I have ever heard of stop light disappearing. In attending the Beulaville Fair on opening night, one item of much interest which I saw was a hat and matching pocket book made from corn shucks and hats made from pine needls. The fair- waf having a little trouble with their litrhts that night so I could not see all of the exhibits, but pli to getf back and see all of them.

"I had calls from county Farm Bureau organizations and the S( itc organizations (Tuesday asking that something he done about the price situation," said Royster. 'We are going go see if the sales holiday holds the answer." Hoyester said conversations with tobacco representatives in all the ' belts brought the consensus that congested conditions on tobacco markets might be the basic rea son for lower price levels than last year. He said the sales com mittee acted accordingly. The sales committee excluded the Old Belt from the three-day holiday since the belt already has been shut down until next Monday because of the complete absence of buyers from the tiliacco com panies. The V. S. Department of Agri culture also withdrew price sup- I ports and grading service from ithe Old Belt.
