Although the weather on Tues
- day was about the worst of the
entire winter season the voters
turned out in good numbers to
give the nominees in last Tues
day's primary a decisive vote, 229
of them faced the weather and
went out to cast a vote each for
the town officials who will have
charge of the administration of
the town of Louisburg for the
next two years.
The vote as tabulated by the
election officials and returned to1
the Town Clerk by Registrar A.
W. Green was as follows:
For Mayor
William C. Webb ? 209.

shown when some one started the

tical joker had scratched and
marked in two names, one for j
Mayor and one for Commissioner.

LOUISBURG BAPTIST
CHURCH
"The I.itlle Life" was the sub
ject of the sermon preached by
Dr. A. Paul Baghy, pastor, ou Sun
day morning. There are urges
within that will never be satisfied
if we live the little life, in discuss
ing "The Little Life" the follow
ing aspects were named: The lit
tle business life which of course
follows when there is dishonesty.
However, the sacrifice of home,
church, Joy, pleasure for business
is living the little business life.
Ask yourself, what after all is the
final purpose? The little social life
follows slavery to an activity or
the search for just pleasure. The
spirit In which we enter into social
life makes it large or little. Tha
little intellectual life appears when
there is a search for knowledge
for knowledge's sake alone. Not
with standing, the high value to
be placed oh intellectual accom
plishments, knowledge as a gonl
ought never to be sought. The lit
tle moral life make morality a pol
icy. To determine whether you are ?
big or little morally answer this
question, "Am I moral because I
prize a reputation or because I can
lift this world up toward God* "
If morality Is a policy it is worth
less. There can be no policy In tho
big moral life. A little spiritual
life can deteriorate to littlenes*
beyond all things else.
There will be no morning ser
vice at the church. The pastor will
deliver .the baccalaureate sermon
at Mills High School. He will
speak on "The World and Tim
Dreamer."
