PITTSBORO. CHATHAM CO.. THURSDAY, JUNE 2. 1921. VOL. XLII1 NO. 4' lECORD ELECTRIC LIGHTS ARE POSSIBLE FOR TOWN Building of Dam at Lock ville Makes Possible Current Here Hurley Brothers, who now gen erate current on Little River, and furnish power and lights to Troy, Star and several other towns in that vicinity, are this week be ginning to put in a concrete dam on Deep river, at Lockville, and wm narness tne water power there for the purpose of generat ing current for power and lights for the localities that make a bid for it, J Now is the accepted time for the citizens of Pittsboro to act. There is no more important un dertaking for this town at this time than to make arrangements to secure electric current for the town. It fs the most needed im provement A good water sys . tern is needed as badly if not more so than electric power and light, but it will be less expen sive and more easily obtained af ter the electric power is secured. No matter what arrangement is made for the water system lat eron, the current secured will fa cilitate the advantage and there should be no hesitancy in mak ing arrangements with the Messrs. Hurley Brothers to fur nish Pittsboro with a w ire from the new undertaking. There will be many towns and concerns that will bid for this current and Pitts boro should not wtit until it is too late to be first choice. It is generally understood that the commissioners and town au thorities in general are in favor of the proposition, it stands to reason, however, that they want the people to give them the ne cessary encouragement to make the negotiation. Let's not wait too long. We want and need the power. The Good American The Good American is Loyal. If our America is to become ever greater and better, her citi zens must be loyal, devotedly faithful in every relation of life. 1. I will be loyal to my family In loyalty I will obey my parents or those who are in their places. I will do my best to help each member of my family to strength and usefulness. 2. I will be loyal to school. In loyalty I will obey and help other pupils to obey these rules which further the good of all. 3. I will be loyal to my town, my state, my country. In loyalty I will respect and help others to respect their laws and their courts of Justice. 4. I will be loyal to humanity. In loyalty I will do my best to help the friendly relations of our country with every other country and to give to every land the best possible chance. If I try simply to be loyal to my family, I may be disloyal to my school. If I try simply to be loyal to my school, I may be disloyal to my town, rny state, and my country. If I try simply to be loyal to my town, state and country, I may be disloyal to hu manity. I will try above all things else to" be loyal to humanity; then I shall svrely be loyal to my country my state and my town, to my school and to my family. He who obeys the law of loyalty obeys all the other nine laws of the Good American. J. B. Rob ertson, in the Concord Times. MEMOBIAL SERVICES ARE ' HELD AT PLEASANT HILL Exercises Enjoyed by Vast Number of People from Over Chatham Last Sunday was a red letter day lor Pleaant Hill Methodist church. Memorial services were held there and numbers of people were there to enjoy the splendid program that has been arranged by the leaders in the church. Only one disappointment prevail ing and that was the illness of the pastor, Rev. J. J. Boone, who could not be present. The editor arrived there short ly after 10 o'cIock in the morning and the exercises began shortly thereafter. Mr. David Mann, of Moncure, favorably known as a splendid singer and leader was there and lead in the singing and there was never a more attract ive program and sweeter music rendered anywhere than was at Pleasant Hill Sunday. Mr. W. T. Parrish, superinten dent of the Sunday school there was master of ceremonies arid carried out the events of the day in a splendid manner. He intro duced Mr. James L. Griffin in the forenoon and the address was one that should have been heard by everybody in Chatham coun ty. Mr. Griffin covered himself with hontr with that . address and the Record wishes that it could have been transcribed so that we could publish it Fol lowing Mr. Griffin, Mr. Mann made an interesting talk and with a few splendid vocal selec tions the congregation was dis missed. There was banked on the altar and chancel rail hundreds of bouquets made from fragrant and beautiful flowers and after the congregation had vacated the curch, the children in attend ance were given the flowers and they marched from the church by twos, to the strains of that grand old hymn, When the Roll is Called Up Yonder, passing through the little cemetery and placing a bunch of flowers upon each grave, andljn addition to the bouquet the graves of the old soldiers were decorated with a flag of the United States. It was a beautiful and inspiring scene and witnessed with rever ence by the many who were present A Pittsboro citizen had been greatly worried during the morn- ng session over the prospects of dinner as he could see nothing in sight to eat, "but at this time boxes and baskets seemed to ap pear apparently from the ground and from every nook and corner, and to his astonishment every body soon had their splendid ap petite satisfied. The food that was spread there speaks well for the prosperity of the people of the community, and especially for the good women as cooks. It was fit to spread before king or potentate and in sufficient quan tity to feed an army from the Hindenburg line. The afternoon was spent in singing and short talks by vari- ' W T t TTT T 1 ous ones. Mr. jonn w. jonnson, of Pittsboro, made a spleiidid talk and the editor of the Record was forced to say a few words as well He certainly enjoyed the day and feels influenced by com ing in contact with the good peo ple of that community.

Jones, of Manndale, paid the Record office a visit last week. I WHAT'S THE USE. I What's the use of always making everybody sad? i vAin't it best to try to make the other fellow glad? Seems to me like every one has got enough to bear, Then to heap more upon him doesn't seem quite fair. And what's the use? Maybe some one's heart is breakin1 and a word or smile fj Might1 lift up a fallen spirit and make life worth while. Don't forget we all are human; smile instead of frown; Don't draw back in scorn and fury 'cause a man is dowu, For what!? the uss? Every day is filled with sorrow, in the home and street; You can't tell how much or little from each face you meet. Maybe eome one's almost sinkin' 'neath his heavy load One unkind word might cause his foot to slip along the road. And what's the use? , f jj Don't think you have all life's troubles; stop and look around ; 1 You may see a fellow traveler prone upon the ground. i 1 Just reach out and grip and lift him;belp him bear his load; Be his brother, friend and helper till he gains the road, g For that's the use! , STATE NEWS The ministerial association of Burlington has adopted drastic resolutions denouncing modern dancing. , ' Marshall C.
