Pittsboro gardeners should not worry about planting beans too soon. There will be plenty of cold snaps during February. If the farmers did not im prove their opportunities for plowing during the past pretty weather of January, then it was their fault. Some little excitement was created on the streets here yes terday when a couple of mules ran away. No one was hurt and no damage done. Our Mr.! Decker will be here on the 18th and 19th of Febru ary to take orders, for ready made suits See his samples. Farrell, Griffin & Co. Although the afternoons have become much longer since Christ mas, yet the mornings are al most as short as then "and the sun seems to be as late in rising. Last week there were some of the signs of spring the blue birds were singing, the owls hooting, the hens cackling, the frogs croaking ana the flower? budding. Girls who wish some light and paying work should be inter ested in the advertisement of the Scott-Mebane Manufacturing Co -of Graham, which is published ir another column. -Mr. and Mrs. 0. B. Mitchell wish to thank thank their many friends of the town and commun ity for the words of sympathy and kindness extended to thern during the late sickness and death of their little son.O. B.,Jr. A news item in last week's Record said that a More count man had sold 35 turkeys which netted him $97.06. Mr. N. B Gunter, a Centre township farm er, says in December he sold 13 turkeys, five of them hens, which netted him $43.98. Next. Last week The Record stat ed that Mr. E. C. Winchester, who married Miss Annie Burns of this place, had been appointed postmaster at Monroe. It has been learned since that the first postmaster Monroe had was the father of the present postmas ter. Mr. E. M. Fearrington, coun ty farm work demonstrator, re quests us to state that on Mon day, the 16th of this month, at this place the prizes will be awarded to the successful com petitors in the crop contests, whose names are announced by him in this issue. A respectable colored man of this place named Alonzo Rives, died very suddenly last Monday. He had been in his usual good health and was talking to anoth er colored man when he sudden ly turned around and dropped dead. He was about sixty years old and was highly thought of by our best citizens. -His old friends in Chatham will regret to hear of the death of Mr. D. Taylor Johnson, who died from a stroke of paralysis last Sunday at Raleigh. He was born and reared in the eastern part of this county, but removed to Raleigh nearly forty years ago and became one of the most prominent merchants of that city. Some revenue officers from Raleigh made an unsuccessful raid in this county last Friday morn ing. They arrived here Thurs day night and left about 3 o'clock next morning and drove about seven miles, to a place about a mile north of Hickory Mountain church, and found where a still had recently been operated but had been removed in time to es cape capture. The attention of our readers is called to the advertisement of the Bank of Sanford on this page, which has recently increased its capital stock to an amount in ex cess cf any of our neighboring banks. Its success is highly creditable to its good manage ment under its president, Mr. S. P. Hatch, who was born and reared near this place and is well known to many of our readers. !rlToc.

Womble and E. E. Walden. Hickory Mountain A. S. Tem ple and J. E. Clark. Matthews A. L. Elder. New Hope Mills Wilson and M. H. Holleman. Oak Grove E. A. Badders. Williams S- L. Lester. More Winter. There will be six more weeks of winter, if there be any truth n the old groundhog tradition. nd of course no reader of The Record dares to doubt it. That oesky old varment had no trouble in seeing its shadow last Monday for the sun shone bright and ilear all that day, and therefore ve will have . at least six more weeks of winter. If, however, the remainder of the winter is not colder or more lisagreeable than that which we tlready have had nobody need omplain. We doubt if the old est inhabitant remembers ever seeing so pleasant a January as vas last month. Although there -vere a few cold days, yet there was very little rain and no snow here. Last month was the dry est January we have ever known md our county roads were in better condition than we have ever known at that season of the year. A Costly Case. A suit was tried last week in the superior court of Lee county which occupied one-half of the week and was closely contested by five lawyers, two on one side md three on the- other, and vet the amount involved was only about two and a half acres of poor land, not worth over $5 an acre. There wa3 a dispute between two neighbors, whose land ad joined, as to where was the cor rect boundary line between them. The defendant claimed undes a deed executed in March, 1872, and insisted that he had been in peaceable possession ever since. Of course the costs of the case far exceeded the value of the property in controversy, and the lawyers' fees on each side were much more than the land was worth. Not only was this case costly to the parties concerned in it but it wa3 costly to the county of Lee and it also delayed the trial of other more important cases. Railroad Survey. ' Our readers will remember that'about eighteen months ago a survey was made for a proposed railroad from Greensboro through Alamance county to the Seaboard Air Line near Moncure. This survey was made down Haw riv er by way of Bynum, and anoth er line was surveyed across Haw river near Pace's mill to the Dur ham and South Carolina Railroad at Fearrington. Nothing further had been done, so far as could be heard, towards the construction of the proposed road. We hear, however, that last week a survey was started from Alamance county to be made by ' way of Chapel Hill to Durham. If this route is located for the proposed road, there will be no hope of its coming in "this direction as was at one time con templated, but it will probably conrect at Durham with the Dur ham and Southern railroad, which now runs from Durham to Dunn, and it i3 said will be ex tended to the coast. B. R. Avent has been con firmed bv the Senate as postmas ter at Jonesboro. Two Squirrel Stores. A citizen of Pittsboro owned a muzzle loading gun. He with two or three others went squirrel hunting. The owner of the muz zle loader became separated from the rest in the woods and while rambling around espied a squir rel sitting on the limb of a dead tree, about thirty foot from the ground. When Muzzle Loader got near enough to shoot at the squirrel he blazed away at him. and the squirrel deliberately walked into, a hole m the bodv of the tree. The gun was load ed, the squirrel came out, and again he was shot at and again tie walked back into his den. This firing was kept up until Muzzle Loader had shot away ten cents worth of powder and a pound of shot. Muzzle Loader hunted up the rest of the crowd, told them what he had done, borrowed some powder and shot, took the boys back to the dead tree and posted them around it. In a few minutes a squirrel came out of the hole, perched himself on the limb and bang I every one shot. This time the squirrel ran into hi3 den and that was the last seen of him. This is an actual fact. While cutting timber on Mr. Ed. Perry land near Pittsboro last Thursday, Mr. R. W. Win frey had quie a little experience. When the tree fell a bunch of squirrels and two 'possums ran out of a hollow. For a few min utes the ground - was black with squirrels. Mr. Winfrey got two of the squirrels out of fourteen and the two 'possums. County Teachers' Meeting. Editor of The Record: The Chatham county teachers' association met here last Satur day in the high school building, and was called to order by Mr. F. 31. Williamson, principal of Pittsboro high school. The fol- owing vacancies were filled: Principal Earl R. Franklin, of Merry Oaks, was elected vice president and Principal Chas. O. Small, of Siler City, was elected recording secretary. Mr. Williamson, the president, explained the object of this as sociation in a very interesting manner. Mr. Franklin made an address cn "The Relation Between the Elementary Schools and the High Schools." To the teachers pres ent this was full of instruction. I would be glad to see it printed in our county papers. , Owing to the heavy rain the night before, many teachers were unable to get here, and the attendance was small, yet the meeting seemed to be especially enjoyed by all present. Several every-day-school prob lems were then discussed in a "round table" manner. The meeting was a profitable one. The next meeting is to be held at Siler City, and notice of the time will be given later. The county vice-presidents to preside over the five sections of the county are as follows: The Western Section Princi pal Chas. O. Small meetings to be held at Siler City. The Southwestern Rev. G. C. Phillips meetings to be held at Welch school-house. " The Central -Mr. H. B. Pick ard, at Pittsboro. The Southe istern Principal Earl R. Franklin, at Merry Oaks. The Northeastern Miss Clara L. Lawrence, at Eastern Acad emy. R. P. JOHNSON. Corresponding Secretary. Pittsboro, Feb. 2. Talk Up Your Town. Talk about the advantages of your town instead of trying to figure up the disadvantages, says the Franklin Press. Speak of the bright side of your business in place of the imaginary dull side. There is nothing goes without being propelled. You injure yourself, your business and your town by getting into the dumps. When your liver is out of order go the woods or some other hiding place until you are better. The world looks blue to a man with a bad digestion. Cure yourself first and then ev erything else will appear all right. New High Schools. The erection of thirty new ru ral high school buildings in North Carolina in 1913, at a cost of five to thirty thousand dollars each, is shown in the report of Prof N. W. Walker, state inspector of secondary schools, to the presi dent of the state university. The report adds that there are now in operation in the state 211 of ! these rural high schools, with an j enrollment of 7,946 pupils in the! high school grades. The increase of four-year schools in 1913 was from 28 to 50; the number of three-year schools decreased from 82 to 51. and the two-year schools jumped from 89 to 101. Former Senator Jos- C. S. Blackburn, of Kentucky, has been appointed o.i the Lincoln memorial commission to succeed the late former Senator Cullom, of Illi nois. The School News. MISS HENRIETTA' MORGAN, . ' . Class Editor. - Tho weather last week was de lightful and was . especially ap preciated bv those who had to walk or ride a long distance to school. Many spent a great part of the recesses in taking walks. But alas, the poor old bridge be tween the schoolhouse and the street is still losing planks! We regret that Miss Naomi Sturdivant, of the senior class, has left us. It seems that the seniors like clerking. She is go ing to Hooedale, N. C. We wish her success. We are glad that Miss Henri etta Morgan, who has been sick for several days, is well again and back in school. Several of the pupils of the fifth and sixth grades have given pictures to buautify their room. Ihis show of interest is very commendable. We exoect to have a cood ball team at Pittsboro this year Boys of all sizes seem to be taking an interest in playing ball. Also the triangular debate to be waged by Pleasant Garden. and Pittsboro is now claiming much attention. Our boys seem to be workiner hard, and thev are really enthusiastic. - A play entitled "Mrs. Briggs of the Poultry Yard" will be played here sometime in Febru ary by the members of the sen ior class and others. The pro ceeds will go toward the build ing of the library. The Poe literary society was much encouraged by having vis itors last week. Farmers' Co-operative Work.

A Child Commits Suicide. From tha Watauga Democrat. One of the saddest tragedies of which we have heard occurred ' near Trade, just beyond Zion-1 ville, this county, early last week, j The story, as we get it, is that a! l-year-olcl boy, by the name of Wallace, got into a little quarrel with a younger brother and left the room" in a net The familv supposed that he was out looking after some wood, but as he did not return after an absence of two or more hours, search was instituted, and the missing lad was found at the barn dangling to the end of a rope, silent in death, having committed suicide by hanging. The 8-year-old child of Clar ence Davis, of Vance county, was shot and instantlv killed bv tha 10-year-old son of Thomas Loyd last baturday. The children were playing with an old pistol in the Davis home, when the nisrol was discharged, the ball striking the j Davis child in the right arm and ; passing entirely through the body and the left arm. Death ensued in a very few minutes. The shooting was purely acci dental. In an address in the First Bap tist church at Durhafn last Sun day before 1,000 men, Judge Je ter C. Pritchard, of Asheville, registered his protest against the tango and the turkey trot dances and the slit skirt- "The Conser vation of Manhood" was the sub ject on which he spoke.
