From Ingleside 1 note with pleasure that the FRANKLIN TIMES has entered another year of service with its asual optimistic views of the pres ent unci future Seventy-one years is a long time for a news paper to serve any community, and it shows a 'Otic spirtt of coop eration between the good people of Loulsburg and Franklin Coun ty and their good newspaper. There is probably no one factor in t'he life of a town and commu nity more important In molding and directing its activities than aj good weekly newspaper. Either by bald. auKresstye measures or by quiet conMnual suggestions the current of thought is turned to better things, and there is creat ed a desire for advancement and progress. Often the opinions ex pressed do not meet with univer sal approbation, but at any vat? a discussion is produced and thoughts diverted into channels of progress. Louisburg it appears has been particularly fortunate all these years in having a newspaper 01 this tiype. Ever since its early beginning, or as long as many can remember, the TIMES has been a representative paper, and in countless ways has helped the town in every measure undertak en for benefits ? financial and spiritual.. If one could took nack Mirougti the files of your papers, I Imag ine a certain feeling of sadness 1 would be produced by readingof bygone days, when those who I have been dead these many years, were in the hey day of their j youth ani strength: Their daily' lives are chronicled to some ex lent ill the early issues of a paper., and the many trials and vicissi-4 tudes of the growth of a town are; plainly expressed. Best wishes for the TIMES and, all the good people of Loulsbiirgl and Franklin Counfy. James Finch, young hob of Mr. and Mrs George H.

He was ta * ken immediately to a physician, and at' this writing is doing as w.ell as could be expected for in ? juries of that nature: 11?11 "The Black Death, gr bubonic plague, of the 14th century, and the influenza epidcmic of 1918 are said to be t<he two greatest plagues ever to afflict mankind. The former killed an estimated 36,000 000 persons: the latter, ? 1U, 000,000." ? : 11?1 Ominous shades of the "lamen ted" Klu Klux Klan it* appears some times arouse from its ghost ly realm to put on anoccasional mild demonstration of the "firey ? erono," ? It is not1 known Whether the Tisits should be tak?n as a sort of prelude to an attempted "come back" of the disbanded or ganization or merely intended as a kindly and sympathetic but im pressive reminder of its former mission. 11?11 In thfe recent honor roll listed by the Presbyterian Junior Col lege at Maxton, appears the name of Mr. John Knox Beasley. son of Mr. and Mrs. John Young Beasley, Louisburg, Rt. 3. Knox is one of the Sterling young mei: of the county. H ? u The many friends of Mrs. ThomaB Wynne will be glad to know that she is recovering from a very serious operation at Mary Elizabeth Hospital, Raleigh which she underwent there foui weeks ago. For several days Mrs. Wynne's condition was consider ed critical, but from last reports she Is expected to be able to re turn to her home near here with in the next few days. ? K ? II The writer was shown a doll by a lady Wre Which she had Just opened. It was ordered from Charlotte during the Christmas holidays. I suggested that it she would look at the address she would probably find that it was sent to Laurlnburg, and so it was. The similarity of names of Laur inburg and Louisburg has long been a source of confusion and Inconvenience on the part of pos tal officials as well as the resi dent^ of both towns. Certainly no blame should be atitached to the postal folks for the mix-up of mails. It is so difficult to dis t tlnguish them in handling It; it - was ever thus and perhaps will so continue unless the name of one of these good towns should be changed, and everybody knows that Louisburg wouldn't stand for that. It' is said that Littleton and Lllllngton also have their iftalls ? crossed in transit for the same reason. ? o ??
