ELECTRIC CURRENT.
Contract Signed and Work Begun on
Transmission Lines to Town.
For some weeks the Moncure
Manufacturing Companj-, consti
tuted by Messrs. Hurley. Broth
ers, of Troy, have held off the
contract for electric current for
Pittsboro, owing to minor reasons
and for that reason many skep
ical folks have said that we
would never have the lights.
The contract is now signed and
preparations for the building of
the transmission line from Lock
ville to Pittsboro are being made
and actual work will begin at
once, and the lights and current
will be supplied to us.
Messrs. Hurley Brothers think
that the line can, be built and the
current turned on easily by May
first and possiblv sooner, but it is
a fact thattfte lights will be in
operation in Pittsboro before a
great while.
Everyone should now make ar
rangements to have their houses
wired so that as soon as the po v
r is available there will be no
delay in getting the service.

GOOD STREETS.
East Street and South Main Street
Graded and to be Soiled.
Contractors are busy finishing
up the work on East street and
South Main street at this time,
preparatory to laying on soil. The
work was much needed and will
add materially to the town.
East street has been graded
and put in first class shape from
the residence of Capt. J; F. Als
ton to the court .house and South
Main street from the court house
to the residence of Harlowe Tay
lor. Work will now begin with the
putting on of top soil, the best
meihod of preserving improved
roads and streets, except the
hard surface.
J. O. Brown has the contract
for the entire work.
The County Home.
In the editorial columns of this
paper will be found a reference
to the building of the new county
home, furnished us by H. A.
London, chairman of the commit
tee appointed. It would be use
less to publish anything further
on the subject inasmuch as prep
arations are being made as fast
as possible to build the new home.
We ail know the need of it but
those things .have to be handled
in a business, systematic manner
and it requires time to do it.

BKICKHAVEN.
Dr. Fuquay, the dental clinic, spent
Tuesday at the school looking after the
children's dental work. The teachers
have been working faithfully to get
Dr. Fuquay here, for there was much
needed work, and now that their efforts
have been rewarded,, they, as well as
thearents and pupils, are relieved and
delighted.
The State Educational (S. fi.) mov
ing pictures shown at the school Tues
day night were nu:h enjoyed by the
large cowd present. The childreu were
especially delighted with ' the plav,
"Snow White."
There will be several changes in res
idences here soon. D. J. Ellis will move
his family to Holly Springs sometime
before the holidays; L. W. Cotten, now
of the Cherokee Brick Co.. is planning
to farm next year and will occupy the
house vacated by the former, while L.
S. Garner will move into the Cotten
residence.
Mrs. Johnny Gamer spent last week
with her mother, Mrs. Cotten, at San
fod. Miss Leone Luther, our grade teach
er, spent the week end at Bonsai with
her parents.
Mrs. R. H. Marks visited her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Womble, the past week
end. A. M. Cotten continues ill at his
home here. So far there has been very
little illness of a serious nature around,
here, a fact for which our people should
be devoutly thankful, for conditions
are still precarious as far as medical
aid is concerned. Dr. Strickland's
place is still unfilled and we have no
assurance of having a local physician.
It seems that conditions are little short
of being tragical, and it is time that we
should get busy, so to speak, and learn
just why "the right man can not be
found to fill the right place."
Another Friend.
Robert A. Long, who now lives
on route 1, Asheville, N. C,
sends us a new subscriber, pays
his own up to 1923, and says:
"I "can't hvslp saying a good
word for as, good a Daper as you
furnish and especially when it
comes from the dear old county
of Chataam, where I was born
and spent my boyhood days. I
feel a deep in erest in anything
that will benpfit Ch itham county
and her noble, high-minded peo
ple. Success to you."
Children's Home.
The Children's Home Society,
of Greensboro, furnishes The
Record with a November ieport
oftheTristitufion, showing that
32 children were received and 19
were placed in homes. To date
185 children have been found
comfortable homes. This Insti
tution is operated entirely on
voluntary contributions an 1 it is
estimated that it will take $2,000
for December, with a surplus of
only $1,159.08 to start the month
with.
Every advertisement in this
paper is worth your reading.
None but reliable dealers are al

We returned two advertisements
this week because we did not
