Work is being pushed in the vestibule which is being built to Red mountain Baptist church. All are pleased with Mr. Glenn's work. Rev. J. D. Bowen was at his best Sunday.

The Red moun tain folks are pleaded with him and his work during the past year. Our school continues to grow we now have the fourth teacher, i Miss Chandler from Garksville. Mrs. J. J. Thacker and sister, Asa Rhew, spent Friday in Dux- j ham. ' Fran Tlakcrlika. The money panic seems to be the topic of the day now, and I think that most people are scared more than they are hurt, and as we always realize a calm after the storm, we will soon be be yond the financial storm and en joy ourselves the more for having passed through this scare. Mr. and Mrs. George Satter- field and son, of Danville are now on a visit to relatives in this com munity. It has been reported that a family of people that live about two miles below this place have some corn that is ten years old, which is perfectly sound, the on ly signs of hurt to it being in the fact that it is slightly rat eaten. They kept tfee corn by putting it away in the shuck and laying the ears in rows, one upon the top of the other, this being done t) ke?p the rats away. I will give the number of bar rolls of corn some of my neigh tars have made: P. S. Rogers 175, S. A. Rogers 75, p. L Tapp 70, C. H.Tapp 75 r 80, Mrs. Ida Reams 100, W. A. Barton CO or 70, J. E.

Cameron had a shoat ahout two months old that re cently wandered off, and if any ''tie knows of its whereabouts he would be glad if they would re I" rt to him at once. P. L Tapp discovered a coon I in ;N 4f.n, rut th trH down and ' " i ru: k.,e coon, uuii uv the animal by the tail and gave him a whack across a log, which stunned him sufficiently to be tied. The coon was carried to he home and given time to re cover, when it began a scraD with Mr. Tapps dog and whipped the whole pack. Mr. Tapp prov ed himself the best coon fighter as he never lost his hold upon the tail of the coon. One of our neighbors owned a I dog by the name of pot liquor ' J l -1 . i m r n ana ne sirayea 01 10 air. oar nett Moore's one night, went in to the dining room and stuck his head into the coffee pot, which contained a hole in the bottom and he was enabled to look through this hole and make his escape. However, Ihe came back to the same place and tried the same trick, but this time he found that all coffee pots did not have holes in the bottom, and from what can be learned the dog came to his end as he could not see how to make his escape. Cards are out announcing the approaching marriage of Mr. Frank William Rogers, son of P. S. Rogers, and Miss Mary Lou Wilkerson. daughter of Mrs. S. E. Wilkerson, which will oc cur on Thursday evening Novem ber 21st at 7 o'clock. They will be at home after December the first. "Follow Me."-Luke 957. I.

Shadow and eclipse. Howard Allen and a colored boy by the name of Petiford were out possum hunting and Allen in cutting in which the dogs had treed the possum, accidentally cut Petiford'i hand, which was a very serious wound, but doctor gave attention and he is now get ting along well. Renortsays that the name o Hon. J. A. Long has been men tioned as a candidate for govern or of North Carolina. Mr. Long i a long-headed, far-seeing man, and makes a success of every thing he undertakes and I have not a shadow of a doubt but what he would succeed in mak ing a great governor of this great state. Roper. Nlghtvatchman Attempts Suicide. J. W. Allen, r.ijhtwatchman for the Pearl Cotton mill, at- ;empted suicide Friday after noon by drinking laudanum. He was discovered in time so; that he was saved with a hard fight by the physicians. Saturday it was reported that the patient was getting along as well . as could be expected, and in fact that he was out of danger. j The story is this: That Allen, who bears the same initials of ;he member of the board of coun ty commissioners and also a prin- er by the same name, did not show up at his work for a week. When he did show up fcr duty on Friday night, but in stead went to his home and there he drank a bottle of laudanum that would have been fatal for him and fatal in ordinary cir cumstances, but Allen was saved. A doctor was summoned very soon and when he was saved from himself he was left in a very weak condition. f It seems that this man Allen has been on a general booze for some weeks, in fact for months. When he was watching and at his right self he was a good man and when he was off his balance he was not a fit person to guide himself. He had recently been off on a booze for a week and when he returned it was with the rumors of consciousness that makes a person to attempt the rash step of self destruction. ' Last reports from J. W. Allen were that he was getting along in fine shape and that he would be able to go back on work soon. Watch and see in the next campaign if the two parties aon i bUm the oinrr lor ine Finnu TO CLOSE FOE CHRISTMAS. Prohibition or Dispensary. The Raleigh people will vote the day after Christmas, Decern ber 26th, on the question of whether the dispensary is to be retained orlwhether there shall be prohibition. Twenty-four years ago Raleigh was a dry town. At that time the sale of liquor was allowed in the country and there were seven saloons on the very edge of the to;vnship and they did a rushing business. It is claimed by the prohibition ele ment that it is dead sure to win and that the petition for an elec tion shows this. On the other hand the advocates for the dis- pensary think that institution will be retained. Of course a number of very sharp attacks on the dispensary have been made and there is no little feeling against it in all circles. Gover nor Glenn has taken occasion sev eral times to criticise it sharply. It is felt even by its advocates that it by no manner of means is a good institution. One of them a year or two ago spoke of it as a necessary evil. It is very hard to say now what will happen in this election. Of course the work will be done by the prohibition people, as very! naturally the advocates of the dispensary cannot take the field. Raleigh is to be given the benent of a regular campaign which will be terminated Sunday even ing, Christmas day. Rev. Syl vester Betts. who is at the head of the movement and has been from the start, says the meet ings are to be held Christmas day at many of the churches and that during the campaign there are to be street meetings day and night at many quarters in the place, and the canvass will be as lively as the one four years ago in favor of the dispensary for which so many church people then worked so hard. Coard nf Education Orders Schools Closed in Durham December 20. The schools of the county will close for Christmas holidays on Friday afternoon, December 20, and will remain closed until Mon day, December 30. This was de cided by the board of education yesterday and the closing time of the schools for the Christmas holiday season will be an inter esting piece of information to this school children throughout the county. It will also be of more than passing interest to many of the teachers, who do not as yet know when their fall work will end. There was an adjourned ses sion of the county board of edu cation. This was decided at the last meeting and while there were numerous matters to come before the board there was noth ing of more general importance and interest than the order in re gard to the closing of the school for Christmas. The adjourned session was held for the purpose of straightening out many matters that had been left over at the last regular meet ing. There wa3 the question of the finances for the fall term to go over and also the question as to the new funds that will soon be coming in for school purposes. The local tax question, now so interesting throughout the coun ty, was also discussed in a gener al wav bv the board. These v men who have at heart the in terest of the school work of the county, and who know the value of a local school tax in any dis trict are heartily in favor of the local tax propositions that are now before the people in several sections. At the afternoon session of the board, almost immediately after the meeting had been called to order the question of when the schools should close came up. It was the opinion of the board that the schools should not re main closed too long and the mo tion was then made and carried that the schools close on Decern ber 30 and remain until Monday, 30. just ten days. The board has decided to look into the matter of opening a school at Willardsville. where is located the Little River Manu facturing company. The people that want a school and have agreed to assist if the board will appropriate something like $25 per month for salary. The special committeeman, Mr. J. W. Umstead is to report back at the regular meeting in December. During the afternoon a num ber of routine matters came, be fore the board. The members of board expressed great interest in the outcome of the local tax elections soon to be held in the Redwood and in the Glenn dis tricts. The reports that the elections will pass in both dis tricts and that the tax will be voted. DEPOSIT YOUR MONEY WITH CITIZENS NATIONAL BANK Oj 'URHAM.
