The HE RECORD is read X every week by almost everybody that's anybody. Chatham Record THE RECORD is the paper that's in every home, and the only paper in many homes. ESTABLISHED SEPT. 19, 1878. PTTTSBORO, N.C., CHATHAM CO., FRIDAY, JANUARY 13. 1922 VOL. XLIY NO. 24 , a .- - i . - " k CORINTH Messrs. A. F. Hally, J. A. Rox- m.-mrf and F. L. Morton of Raleieh.vis ited friends and rel We almost said relatives at tfuctcnorn and Uorinth. And as usual, when Hally comes to trinth, it rameo an aay. The petition for funds to replace the barn ol Henry narnngton, which was burned some time ago, is being circu hited now. Let all Corinthians that fa vor the enforcement of our liquor laws eet their names on this petition and their aonars in uie nanus 01 Joe Mc lver to show where we stand on the auestion and to show our deputy sheriff that we are going to siana py mm. The teachers of the lower Cape Fear reading circle held their bi-weekly meeting at iruin last t riday and re port a good meeting. The Truth teach ers. Misses Herring, Deer, are splendid instructors and are conducting a good school this winter. Misses Bland and Johnson spent Sun day with Miss Mary Utley at Brickha ven. We will miss Mabel Thomas as direc tor of our community picture programs. We regret very much that she has left this work, but if Mr. Thompson and Mr. Crosby will let the "picture wag on" keep coming every other night, we think we can develop, a locai director that can handle this center entirely satisfactorily, or at least so until a per manent county director is put on. This public school extension work was start ed in Chatham county just a year ago and we know of no move in recent years that has been so effective in se curing the cooperation of the people of all four school districts as that has been. The three directors of the past year have all done good work in our community, but not one of the three stayed on this circuit long enough for us to much more than get acquainted with them. Let us hope that the next director sent out will not only suit us but that she will stay with us. Some time ago ye scribe, in an un suspicious and "I-don't-care-if-you-do" way, offered a good pig and a house to live in to either or both of the two Buckhorn bachelors who would marry. Evidently they took us at our word, for last week Norris Thomas began mov ing in his bride and housekeeping equip ment and called for his pig. Now that the ice has been broken and the sailing is easier, we suspect that before long we will be called upon to furnish an other such house and the second pig. That's all right, boys, we have both pigs and houses left. Go to it. We are game. B. M. Mclver and his mother, Mrs. Katherine Mclver, have been on the sick list, but we are glad to report that they ar now improving. Next falk-ho wp uresarely in need i ol ram, we will drag the Shattuck s creek road and the rains will surely come. Some enterprising farmers in our community spent last week before the rains in the fields with big teams and disk harrows preparing for spring planting. We wish to commend most heartily ihe editorial and other letters in last week's Record concerning the repeal of the 50 blockader reward law. We wonder who is responsible for this sud den and unfortunate piece of legisla tion. We do not believe that the peo ple over the county as a body that sent Mr. Lane to the Legislature, are in any way backing him in this repeal. Is it a surrender to the blockaders and their sympathizers? We hope not. Mrs. E. F. Drewery and little son, WTiiliam, who have been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Harring ton, have returned to tneir home. We hereby announce that in our next we will give a full and detailed report of the recent pig chase (not blind pig) conducted by our good neighbors, C. W. Cross and Berge Dickens over the prop erty of Amos Rollins. At Brown's Chapel Next Sunday morning and af ternoon there will be preaching at Brown's Chapel. Dinner will be served on the grounds.

James Rolph, Jr., mayor of San Francisco, sas the spending of less than one earns, the putting aside each week of as much as can be spared from one's income is s basic element in the career of every man or woman who has, by his or her own efforts, attain ed success success in life. Being thrifty, a most commen dable attribute, the problem of investing one's savings wisely and profitably arises. To those versed in business and finance the matter is a simple one, but to many others the possession of means, however slight, exposes them to the insinuating advances of unscrupulous promoters of crouked investments. We are all units in the most stable, the most honest Govern ment on earth, and nothing is more safe, for an investment, than our own Government's cer tificates and bonds.

Wise-Oth erwise Stolen Paragraphs Localized by the Editor to Tease His Friends Being satisfied with yourself is not necessarily a compliment to your taste. VJ Sjg Don't blame the poor clerk for hesitating the charge, he's pos sibly waiting a signal from the boss. Well, boy, don't blame her for the cutting remarks in the letter. She probably wrote it with the pen knife you gave her. When sheep and goats are sep arated, it's easy to pick out the goats. Some folks wouldn't be other than hypocrites it they could. Yes, premature gray hair is often caused by the auburn tress es ot the wife. It's the fault of tile player when an upright piano becomes a down right nuisance. , WW Some men avoid acquiring a hab it, that's the reasoh they refuse to work. If you do not cafet the things that you can't obin, you'll be fairly happy. i If you fall too deeply in love, climb out by the ladder of reason. it Today's joy may destroy your merriment tomorrow. People in Pittsboro who do not like church serviceghave a hard time to keep away from home. Oh, well, a bad cold makes one thing taste as good as another. We cuss capital for being idle and when busy we accuse it of trying to hog everything. Another Chathamite. Will you allow an old Chatham ite to speak a word through your valuable paper. I for another was born and raised in dear oid Chatham county. Anything- from that county brings loving remem brance to my mind of childhood days. I enjoyed reading Mr. L. K. Beal's letter very much and hope he will write again soon. I can remember when he was a young boy and would be out in the neigeborhood. Just as soon as it began to get dark his moth er would listen as he would al ways come home singing. She would know his voice. But this dear niDther has long been de parted from this life but she is still listening for her dear chil dren's voice to join her in that peaceful home where there will be any more sad partings. It has been about twenty years since I lived in Chatham. I went to school at the Sandy Pond school house in 1889. That has been a long time, but it often comes fresh to my mind. As I am making my letter rather long I had better soon come to a close. I hope this will be a prosperous year in the dear old Record. If I am welcome I will come again. MARTHA. Salisbury, N. C, Jan. 4. Pittsboro Newspaper Man Colin G.

A little boy watching the people get on and off a weighing machine saw each one drop a penny in the slot and the needle spin round telling each what he weighed. The boy saw bis chance and jumped on the scale. He felt in his pocket, but found no penny. The needle did not move. "I havent a penny and so I don't weigh anything,'' said the little boy. That's the way it goes, all through life. If you want to weigh anything in the estimation of those around you, ACCUMULATE SOME MONEY. There's no better way than to become enthusi astic about your bank account. If you would ac cumulate, SAVE AND BANK. THE FARMERS BANK PITTSBORO, X. C.
