LOUISBURU BAPTIST CHURCH Last Sunday was one of the greatest days in the history of the Louisburg Baptist Churcb.

Jones, of h'rauklin ton hits donated to the Vocational i Agriculture Department two hush els of Goldvn Prolific Hytired Seed , Corn and two bushels of Coker's ' 100 Cotton" Seed. These seed are to be used by students in the Agri cultural Department on their pro jects in order to demonstrate the ' increase yields t.hat can be expect ed from t'he use of good seed. Mr. Jones is an advocate of good seed and it is his ambition and hope that thru these demon' ; strations that farmers will see the \ benefits and profits that< can be | gotten from the use of better seed, j thus inducing more of them to j use such seed thereby increasing ! yields and profits on the farm. We, the students of the Frank ; lixiton Vocational Agriculture De partment and teacher, wish to thank Mr, Jones for these seed, : and it is our desire to conduct : these projects in 'such a manner l*hat everyone seeing them will be ; convinced that good seed means | larger yields; and larger yields bring bigger profits and better farming to a community. I'l, EASED WITH I.Ol'ISBL'RU Mr. O. C. West, of Richmond, Traveling Commercial -Agent for the Railway Express Agency, made his first visit to Louisburg 1 on Monday and in speaking of his' visit he said. "I now realize what I have missed in life by not visit ing Ltfuisburg earlier. It is one | of the finest towns and is com- , posed of the finest, most loyal and cooperative people of any town I visit," he says and assured ; the TIMES that he was going to i recommend to his Company when i ever it was possible to favor I.oulsburg wioh service. Louisburg was delighted to have Mr. West as a visitor, espec ially since he was so free in his ! appreciations and understandings of our section and people. First it was press agent, then publicity agent, then director of ; public relations, and ndw iti"s Di 1 rector of the Institute. I I ? Mooney Tells All 1111 i SACRAMENTO, Calif. . r . In vited to tell his story, Tom Mooney again asserts his Inno cence of the 1918 Preparedness Day Parade bombing* before the California State Assembly here which is considering two bills providing either legislative or executive pardon. The Stat* Senate killed the legislative par don. bUl, approved by the lower body. The second bill will be voted upon shortly. From Ingleside Mrs. W. B. McFarland, of Asha vllle. Miss Geneosive Macon, of lioek^ Mount, and Misses Lucy and Helen Smithwick, of Louis hurg were visitors with Ingleside friends Saturday. If no person is as bad as he ia i said to be, nor half as good as he could be, maybe we could held him In the spirit of Charity to be a little bewer. The word "firmness" has two meanings. Referring to one's self it means decisiou; to one's neigh bor. obstinacy. A rea^frieild is a person who is always Yanslderate of your feel ings. We will laugh at your funny stories, even if they are not so > good, and sympathizes with your misfortunes, even if ohey are not so bad, as you think they are. Politics Is warming up it is noticed from many quarters. Most especially in an election year when so many partisans seem willing and anxious, to spread and en courage unjustified rumor, criti cism and malice. I believe news 'papers will see to it t'hat their headlines speak the truth, so far as known, in justice to all con cerned. Printed on the envelope enclos ing a letter received several years ago from the Rev. D W. Tuttle, greatly beloved rewired Methodist minister of Smithfield. was this striking admonition: "The Clock of Life:" "The clock of life is wound 1>ut once, And no man has the power To tell just when the hands will stop. At late or early hour. Now is the only Mine you own. Live, love. x toil with a will: Have no faith in to-morrow, for The clock may then be> still." An exchange says: ? So one would think of calling "The Zebulon Record*' a religious paper and yet that is 'exactly what it is, and will be as long as Theo B. Davis is editor aAd Mrs. Davis writes "This, That and the Other." An automobile door that will close automatically, without hav ing to be .slammed four or five ! times would be a thing of .con | venience as well as, a safety first i device. CLASS INITIATION District Class inltiiitlon of the Junior Order will be held with Youngsville Council. Tuesday I night. March 29th Edgar V. Harris. State Secretary of the Or der will address the delegation. Every Council in the 20th Dis trict is invited to bring candidat es.
