OUUMI++++MUI"MIM ♦ LOCAL NEWS. + ♦ ♦ —The County Commissioners will meet in regular Monthly session next Monday. —The moving picture show is temporarily closed on account of the prevalence of influenza. —The monthly meeting of the Grahatn Chapter of the Ignited Daughters of the Confederacy has been called off for the first Thursday in Februaiy on account of the influ enza epidemic. —Next Mondaf is February 2nd and "Ground Hog" day. It is hoped the" little animal will not see his shadow on that day and that accord ingly the days of winter will not be prolonged. —Next month, February, has five Sundays, the month coming in on Sunday and going out on Sunday. The last time that February had five Sundays was in the year 1880, forty years ago, and the next time will be in 1948, 28 years hence. —Work has commenced on Mr. Edwin D. Scott's new residence again. The foundations were laid before' Christmas] but since that time there has been very little weather fit for outside work. The frame work of the house is now go ing up. —Thanks to the rising tempera ture that on yesterday cleared the sidewalks of snow and slash through and over which pedestrians had bad getting about since Monday morn ing. And, incidentally, tue town was saved the expense of using a snovr plow to clear the sidewalks. —The snow which began falling about half-past ten Sunday night was the first here this winter toxover the ground. It was about two and a half inches in depth and with it was considerable hail. It looked like real winter. Most of it disappeared yesterday, only a little, remaining in protected places. ' |> > —lt's jut one month ond eight days since the shortest day which was 9 hours and 25 minutes from sunrise to sunset. Today is longer by 54 minutes, the sun rising 18 minutes earlier and setting 3G minutes later. Just a month hence the day—February 29th—will be one hour and ten minutes longer than today. —County Supt. M. C. Terrell in formed us a day or two ago that he had at last secured sufficient teach ers to supply all the schools of the county. It has been no easy matter to secure all the teachers needed. Many who hare heretofore taught have entered other lines of work, as the employment was for longer terms and in most instances Better salaries were paid. Teachers' salaries have been generally increased throughout the State, yet as a profession they are poorly paid workers. Chautauqua Coming. A representative of the Chautuqua Association of Swarthmore, Fa., was here a few days ago and soured a sufficient number of guarantors to bring the Chautauqua to Graham next summer. The Swarthmore Association employs the best obtain able talent and Graham is f jrtunate to secure it. THE GLEAN EE will be telling about it from week to week. Boy Kills Himself.

The first apportionment from the State school fund, amounting to $12,000.00, has been received. Under the new school law there is a State school tax of 32 cents levied in alt counties. From this fund each | county is apportioned a sum suffi- | cient to pay the salaries of all teach ers, city and rural, for a term of three months, based on the State schedule of salaries, and one-half the salary of the County Superintendent and one-third the salaries of all citv superintendents. Under this 32 bents tax Alamance will pay to the State a little .over forty-four thous and and will receive approximately forty-six thousand. Thn, however, does not mean that Alumance is a pauper county, far from it; but it means that she is paying, in most cases, that maximum saluiy that the State will apportion. Practically all of the school districts are supple menting the teachers' salaries by local tax or private subscription. NOTICE! Suspend Public Gatherings on Ac count of Flu. January 29th, 1020.

Relief Campaign Starts Next Sunday Under Direction of Chairman W. E. Sharpe of Burlington la response to the appeal for food and clothing and a chance to live, the people of Alamance county have been a6ked to adopt 58 ho melees Armenian orphans who are today facing death in a land where hope less natives know notliing but sor row. Beginning Sunday, February 1, a campaign of relief will he waged in the county under the direction ol W. £. Sbarpo as chairman of the drive. The campaign will run for three weeks. It is not a war fund that the peo ple of this country are being asked to raise. It is only an act for hu manity's sake. Nearly 300,000 naked, starving boys and girls are weeping and wailing for a chance to live. They are homeless and parent less. They are suffering because their parents were murdered and their comforts of home destroyed— yes, all because (he Armenians would not discard their Christian faith for that of the croel and bar barous Turkß. Under the leadership of State Chairman George E. Bellamy, North Carolina will conduct its campaign for the adoption of 3,334 orphans tn the Near East. SOO.OO will provide for one orphan for one year. Prac tically every county in the State has been systematically organized for the campaign and indications now point to a successful drive in every county. Some have already raised their quotas, others are prepared to adopt all their orphans during the first week.
