Judge D. J. Walker Passes
After an illness which confined
him to his home for the past
two years, Judge Dan J. Walker,

Judge Walker was born and

McBride Holl Has Another
Birthday
After one passes his three-score
andten, a birthday anniversary
is an event. The way up there is
not crowded. Of one striving for
success or eminence in any voca
tion, we say "there is plenty room
at the top." The same is true of
the upper brackets in the span of
life.
Mr. Holt celebrated a birthday
Sunday. We saw him Monday.
He was cheery. He had risen
early and had made a coo pis trips
to bis vegetable garden before old
Sol began to beam too furiously.
By the way, a vegetable garden
has been one of Mr. Holt's hobbies
for many years. It was a hobby
that contributed materially to the
pleasure and comfort of the fam
ily and often made glad his neigh
bors who were not so fortunate
and suocessful in truck growing.
Back in the spring Mr. Holt
had a rheumatic attack that put
him out of commission for loco
motion, but from that he has al
most entirely reoovered.
The Oleaner joins his friends in
wishing him many returns of the
anniversary event

Reunion at Cane Creek
Quaker Church Aug. 27th
On Saturday, August 27th, the
descendants of' the pioneers of
South Alamance will hold a re
union at Cane Creek Quaker
charch. All of them and others
are invited.
Long years ago, years before
the Revolution, the Quakers had
settled up and down Cane Creek
and they had their own churches
and schools.
After they knew there was a
Great West many o f the des
cendants migrated t o a newer
country.
Heretofore the reunions for a
number of years have been held
in the name of one or more of the
pioneer families. It is to be dif
ferent this year? it's for the de
cendants of the pioneers.
In former years the reunions
have brought back from the
North and West descendants of
the pioneers. Again this year
the promoters of the annual gath
ering are expecting to have visit
ors from among those who have
made their homes elsewhere.
?. P. Dixon of Graham, Route
2, himself a pioneer descendant,
from the start of the reunions has
always taken an active interest
in getting the kith and kin togeth
er, and for the coming event he
hopes to have a large gathering
of thsoe far and near.
Some one will be able to tell
the assembly of how well and
worthily many of the descendants
have wrought in the various
walks of life.
County Tax Rate

The Board of County Commis
sioners was in session Wednesday.
A budget (or 1938-'39 was sub

a meeting later. It calls for
?400,991.47 ? last year it was
$401,190.96. The tax rat* last
year was 91.18; for this year it Is
hoped to reduce it to $1.13.
There have been some material
sayings through financing, taking
over the operation of the jail and
in tax listing, which enables the
Board to be more liberal to the
school system. The all-time
health department la an item of
expense that the connty has not
heretofore had, but no one should
seriously object to tnat.
The Board finds around a mil
lion in new buildings, principally
dwellings, added to the county's
taxable property.
Jurors were drawn for the two
weeks term of the Superior Court
which will begin on September
12th.
? Among those here Monday at
tending the funeral of Dr. E. C.
Laird, besides Mrs. Laird, the son
and grandchildren, were Lynn B.
Williamson and Mrs. M.B. Wyatt
of Greensboro, T. Holt Haywood
of Winafa>a-8*lem, a nephpw, and
lira. Bruce Wright, of Raleigh, a
sister of Mrs. Laird.
