They will tear the building down and move it to a lot that has been leased to them. The board figr. Hired that the building would be worth very little as it stands^ and ttey showed a very line spirir in donating it to the boys who arc growing into ' f ne citizens through the valuable trairdng that they re- cieve in the Boy Scout organization. The board is to be commended for Aheir thought _ and interest of the I hoys and it is osirtain that the aban- I doned building will Blow be put to ’valuable service. The board voted to allow one w’^ for. the Christmas holidays begin ning at 12 o’clock on tba 20th, and opening up on the 30th. They felt that this would give sufficient time since there will b? a great nuir.- Ikt of children who w.ill be needed on the farms in the spring. Mr. M .W. McLean, Mr; W. F. Townsend, and the county superin tendent were appointed to select a site for a colored school in Little River Town^p for the Frye’s Mis sion school. The board voted to hold to the s'ln-. ruling a.'S had been adopted about the truck - outes. At a foriPerf meeitipg it was decided that where a family lives three-quarters of a mule or more that the truck go for the children ijJ the morning and let them walk in •»the afternoon. If a family lives less than three-quarters of a mile the truck is not to go for them.- Tlie Equalizing Board will allow funds within a radius of one and a half miles of the--school or ftom the truck route. The board feels that they ate reasonable when . i-ent-that half and .uttow a truck^-:*^ go for children who may be three-quarh^rs of a naile ,oi mote, on the morning trip. The budget will not permit going to everybody’s house. Th l|oaid is required to live withm the approved budget and it was not 'made for sufficient funds to make the side trips. There has to be a limit at some point and the ruling has been made in accordance with the budget. It would take more funds for operaiting the trucks if they tried to go t6 every home. The budget cannot be chan^d after it is approved and it is likely that the transportation item will not be sufficient after practicing all econ Arch McLean Weds In Florida Town Of widespread interest to. friends and relatives in Hoke Coun^ is the following announcement: and Mrs. Earl Wagner an- nouni» tire maniage of thair daugh ter, Irepa, "to Mr Arch W.

No Oises B^ore Recorder Pinehurst Theatre To Re-open Monday Six cases wepe up for trial in Re corder’s Court'Tuesday, none of which involved intoxicating liquors in any way, a rather unusual thing.
