First Should Come
First, Says Attorney
Editor Cherokee Scout:
It affords this writer genuine ,
leasure to say a word of endorse nent
and hearty approval of the eforts
of our Methodist friends to
omp'ete their house of worship, and
o urge all our people to come foi-i
card and render what aid they can
o this laudable undertaking. This;
aagnificent structure will, when finshed,
not oly be a credit to our enerprising
town, but its completion j
trill operate as a strong stimulus to
ts spiritual life.
Business men always ftel safe in
ny community where "first things
ome first". and any town having
reditable houses of worship are evr
ready to <?*t in their lot with ?>
leopu- wno are truly religious, forj
hey fee! assured thereby that they
itid their families will have good a?ociations.
Experience and observation both
each that the injunction: "Seek first
he Kingdom of God and His right
uosness," is as applicable to the com
nunity as to the individual, and
there strong, live churches exist, all
?ther "good things" are sure to be
ound.
May 1 ex pre-a the sincere hope
hat all our people, who can do so.,
vill give of their means, even to th~
loint of sacrifice, in order to gunrmtee
the immediate completion ?>f;
his splendid building.
Respectfully,

FIFTH NUMBER
LYCEUM COURSE
MONDAY NIGHT.
Btrnabjr Entertainers Will Gire Versatile
Program at Sahool Auditorium
at 7:30
The fifth and final number of the
1&23-1U21 lyceum course will be given
in the school auditorium Monday
evening, February 25th, by the Barnaby
Entertainers, according to announcement
made by members of the
local committee in chargo of the
course.
This number will close one of the
most successful lyceum seasons experkneed
here in a long time.
Aiie oarnaoy Entertainers, while
composed of ?niy two people, is &
versatile organization that has a
ranpe of numbers usually fotznd
only in much larger companies.
The program will include, according
to advance information reaching
here, one act plays written by
the artists themselves, songolos,
character studies, monologs, costume
skt tches, novelty pictures, lightning
sketches, comedy cartoons, and other
features. One of the features of the
program will be what is known as a
'Cycle of History," which introduces
seven make up characters in about
eleven minutes.
The company carries a complete
system of stage lighting, including
spot lights, overhead lights, footlights
in banks of three colors, flood lights,
table and piano lamps, with dimmers
and blending devices, enabling
two people, without assistance, to
produce dramatic work on any stage
with all delicate shadings of lighting
effect. Another feature will be the
rich and elaborate stage settings.
The four numbers preceding this
one have been enthusiastically received,
with an increasing audience
at each succeeding number. It Is
expected that the Barnabys will attract
a capacity house.
URGES FARMERS
TO PLAY SAFE
DURING 1924
RALEIGH.?The year 1923 was
one of the most profitable years for
farmers in North Carolina in a long
time and it gives. therefore, an opportunity
to do three things which
are now important because of the
presence of the boll weevil, states
Director B. W. Kilgore, of the North
Carolina Extension Service. Dr.
Kilgore summarizes these things as
follows:
1. Pay up all possible back debts.
2. Put aside enough money to
buy fertilizers for cash. Hie difference.
between time and cash prices
is too great not to do this.
3. Reserve enough cash to buy
: supplies, tools, and equipment for
i producing crops during the coming
I reason.
"These three things." says Dr.
1 Kilgore. "will put the farmer largely
on a cash basis, and if food and
feed crepe, !;???? . milk and butter
J are produced in sufficient quantity
: for the farm, the money crops,
I whether they be large or small, will
. be real money crops."
I Dr. Kilgore has written a special
letter to every farm and home demIonstration
agent asking them to
bring this matter to the attention
j of their co-operating farmers and
i endeavor to get the thought into action.
He says: "Because it is the
wise thing to do and because the boll
I weevil is now present over all the
, cotton growing area and will orob
I ably do s< vere damage this year, it
i- felt that the money received from
the good crops of the past year
should' be made to count in the largest
possible way as insurance for
the future. This is a good time to
t got farming operations in North
Carolina on a cash basis and the
three things outlined should be done
without fail."
