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 teeing each what he weighed. The boy saw his 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, N. C.

His wanderings carried ! hirn through the;front yards and j back fences of niost of the neigh-! bars and at every yard a few ' yelping dogs and Several small; boys joined in fchj merry chase with Mr. Cros" the irate own-1 er always in the lead trying: vainly to check the course ot the hog and head hitn toward home. Bui on he went right down thru the depot and little railway sys-; tem operated bv Amos Rollins. When Amos saw him the porker I was standing in the middle of the track, head down, tail and j ears up, moutn open ready to meet the charge of his many and varied pursuers. The morning train rolled in and blew for clear ance but no one could induce the hog to orop the argument, get off the track and give the train a clear board. Finally it recurred to B. N. Dickens to try a method of gentle persuasion, so he got some corn irom n.s sture nearoy and returned to the scene. He tossed some corn to the hog and b?gan calling. The porker brush ed the corn aside but responded instantly to the call and made I straight for Mr. DicKens, follow ed by the enure aggregation in cluding the recently arrived train crew. Now, Mr. Beryl had no idea how agile and active he was until that hog got under full headway. 3ut the charge was short for Mr. Beryl could not see th bast way to run and bok back at the fast approaching hog at the same time, so he tripped on a brush and plunged headlong into a briar and hramble thicket. The brambles turned the hog from his course and the people from the chase to extricate Mr. Beryl from his sorry plight. It took several squares of court plaster to bandage up his hands and countenance .arid several yards of Cxoth to patch up his wearing apparel. So next time Mr. Beryl will tell you how not to try to corral an angry hog. Married Atfthe Presbyterian Manse, in Pittsboro, on Wednesday, Janu ary 11th, Roy W.

(Lesson No. 2. ) A lack of knowledge of the characteristics of the different breeds of dairy cattle and their adaptability to locai conditions is the cause of many mistakes in the selections of breeds. It has resulted in the switching from one breed to another, cross breed ing, and generally retarded breed development. Breed character istics, peculiar to the different breeds of dairy cattle, have been fixed by years of careful breeding, selection and feeding methods, and before a wke selection can be made, it is necessary for the dairyman to determine whether the character istics of the breed he has in mind will fit into local conditions. Consideration should be given to the prevailing breed of the community, as the preponderance of any breed offers many advan tages. The availability of ani mals in large quantities attracts buyers, especially those who buy in large numbers. Mavket conditions should also receive consideration. It would be unwise to try to se I milk con taining a low percentage of butter-fat on a market that is accus tomed to a milk rich in butter-fat The following is a brief de scription of the characteristic-? of the four important dairy breeds: In form the Jersey is spare, with a well deve'opd, barrel, a refinf d head and neck and e'ean cue limbs. v The skin shows a rich ye low secretion, ranking next to the Guernsey in this respect. The standard weight of a mature cow is 900 pounds; however, the majority of the Southern bred Jerseys weigh much less than this amount. The Jersey does not produce as large a volum? of milk as the other breeds of dairy cattie, but it contains the highest percentage of butter-fat and has a desirable rich yellow color. Guernsey cattle is souiewhat larger, stronger in frame and in general more rugged than the .lerstys.. The predominant color varies from a light orange to a deep reddish fawn, with more or less white. In milk production the Guernsey and Jersey stand close together, with the Guernsey slightly in the lead in quantity, while Jersey mil? contains a fraction of a per cent more fat. j These two breeds are common y sookenof as "butter-fat breeds." Holstein was developed in the low, rich lands of Holland which furnish an abundance of grazing and which partly accounts for their being the largest of all tha dairy breeds. The Holstein Friesian are black and white in color and easj'y stand ahead of all other dairy breeds in quantity of milk produced. The percent-, a ore of fat averages aroUnd 6.o, being the lowest of all daiiy breeds. Ayrshire cattle are a hardy, medium- sized, rugged dairy breed. The average size cow weighs around 1000 pounds. The color may vary from a medium red to a dark m -hogany brown, and white, each color being well defined. In quantity of milk this breed ranks second to the Hol stein. However, the fat content is greater than that of the Hol stein, but less thn that of either the Jersey or Guernsey.

The principal, Miss Mann, who was a student at Meredith College during the fall term, is at Raleigh for the mid-term examina:ions. The restalts obtained from the circulation of the petition for funds to replace the barn of H. A. Harrington is'a proof that the community knows how to ex press sympathy.

The state moving picture will be shown at the school Tuesday evening January 24. We under stand that the historical picture recently made on Roanoke Island will Le shown. While the pic tures heretofore have been inter esting, this picture is indeed a rare treat and one that will be both interestinr and instructive to every ir.dividual. It seems that Chatham is one of the first counties to have thh series, and it is hoped that as many as can possibly do so will see the picture Speaking of pictures, we are reminded of a conversation con cerning a certain well-known cit izen in one of Chatham's wide awake communities. It seems that this man, when entertain ments, picture shows, etc , are given at the school in his neigh borhood, has a habit of lookinc after those" who probab!y would not ain'adrnission otherwise. He has been known to do this at more than one recent state pic ture show. Such a spirit is wor thy of comment, but while we hesitate to mention names, so to speak, we wish to say that the man who remembers the little things, and makes life a little brighter for those less fortunate than he, and is loyal to his home and his community, is indeed a i man a tivon urnrtK uhilo W. J. Hannon was in Raleigh the rast week-end. Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy motored to Raleigh Saturday and were among those who were fortunate enough to ee th? picture "Way Down East."
