The editor, agreeable to a invita tion spent last Sunday morning and a "f nf the afternoon at Carolina; phool, three miles east of Goldston. Those that failed to be present at that meeting missed a rare treat in deed Those responsible for the train ing of the chldren deserve all the m-aise that they received. The program was faultlessly ren dered and is a credit to any Sunday school in the county.

"The intermission of an hour was de voted to the satisfaction of the inner man, and the goodwomen of that com munity had prepared a dinner that was suitable for a king. The long, spacious table was not sufficient to accommodate the good victuals that had been prepai-ed and table cloth:; were spread upon the ground to re plentish the room. On that table was every dish that could be asked for, both" in the meats, salads, pies, cakes, and all the minor fancy eats.

Lancaster who was doing some good roads work on the road leading west from the courthouse in Pittsboro, got into some trouble about his board bill, which was settled by J. T. Plott. La ter he was mixed up into an automo bile affair. He finally left Chatham without it being settled. A dispatch from Danville, Va., to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, one day last week. stated that Lancaster was arrested in Danville on a charge of the lar ceny of $300. He was put under a bond of S1000 for his appearance at court in Danville this month. Mr. A. C. Ray will be on hand at the trial to see what he can do about the settlement of the case. automobile I TO IMPROVE CEMETERY "Speaking of grass and weeds growing in town," remarked a citizen the other day, "some of the ceme teries here would look better if the weeds were mowed down. I under stand that the ladies of the Baptist church have have taken it upon them selves," continued the gentleman, "to make big improvements in the ceme tery at their church. They propose to cut off the church from the ceme tery and run the fence behind the church, lay off walk ways, clean out the vines and rank weeds. I also un destand that they intend to give the fence around the place a coat of black paint. Of course I have nothing to do with it, but it seems to me that if the fence was painted a white it would not look so sombre. A church yard is the saddest looking place in a town anyway, and the surroundings ought to be made to look as cheerful as possible." TA.

Teague on Sunday Last to Celebrate., Following a4 beautiful custom that has prevailed for sometime in this community, the children of Mr. S. P. Teague, who lives in the Silk Hope neighborhood, gave him . a birthday flinner last Sunday. 1 Weather conditions were ideal and fc. large number of kin and friends gathered to spend a few hours pleas antly in honor of Mr. Teague's sev entieth natal day. The plans were kept secret from Mr Teague and not until far up in the morning did he learn that something was about to happen. Under the spreading boughs of the front yard shade trees a table sixty feet long was erected and on this was spread the abundance of dinner that had been prepared for the event. J. B. Ingle, of Silk Hope, in behalf of the honor guest, spoke words of ap preciation to the people for their kind ly rememberance of him, and also Mr. Ingle took occasion to sav some very commendable things about the remarkable family of eleven children of Mr. and Mrs. Teague, who are as sets in the various communities where they reside. After grace had been said bv Prof. Talmadge Teague, the youngest son and who is a prominent educator in Robeson county, the loner and beau tifully filled table was soon relieved of some of its burden. ' The outstanding feature of the viands was a "sure-enough" pound cake baked by Mrs. H. Adney Teague. On the outer edge of this cake were the letters and figures in candles, "S. P. T., 70," in all 70 candles. In all there were 30 or more cakes. At a nearby table, John, the genial son of the' household, liberally dis persed ice cold lemonade, which was one of the most enjoyable features of the dinner . In the house were to be seen many useful gifts for Mr. Teague, these in addition to several presents of cash slipped into his hand by a number as they gave him greetings of the day . There among those present from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Teague, of Greensboro, Mrs. Fanny Causey, of Tabernacle church commu nity, Mr. and Mrs. Talmadge Teague, of St. Pauls.

THE DAY NEVER DIES. No day of the Christian calendatri's on a par with that of Christmas, but next to it is the Fourth of July is the one most indelibly fixed in the minds of all American people. It signifies Liberty, and liberty is our most cherished inheritance, be queathed to us by our sturdy f oref ath- y ers and maintained by our own strength and determination. July 4th is a great day lor nag wav ing, speech making, and general joli fication. It is our method of signi fying our undiminished admiration of and gratitude to the heroes of 1776 who won imperishable fame by free ing our struggling colonists from the oppressive rule of a foreign king. Great events of history become dim in the minds of men as time flies on but Independence Day remains ever green in memory and the deeds of its creators never die. The day was fittingly observed in Siler City and no act occurred that would mar the pleasure that had been planned by business men of the town for the benefit of the many visitors here. Come again folks, and come often. On the Fourth and every other day in the year. You are always welcome in Siler City. mi arm srseir. Dan M - - FARM TENACY SURVEY. J. A. Dickey Now at Work in Chat ham Collecting Data. As announced a week or two ago Corinth, July 3. Sydney Curry, in this paper, the farm tenacy survey daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Cur has been started in Chatham county, ry, of Raleigh, is spending a week and everyone should lend as much en- with Louise Nash, at Buckhorn. couragement to the workers as pos- Within the past week we have seen sible. As stated before Chatham coun- three large carp taken from the Cape ty has been selected out of 45 other Fear, any one of which would weigh counties tha twanted the survey, as a representative of the mid coun es for the survey. Let every farmer ap proached give reelv of information so that an accurate and rapid survey may be made of the county. Mlt. J. A. Dickey, who has charge of the work in Chatham, has the follow ing to say to the editor in regard to Chatham people: "That there are some mighty fine people in Chatham county is evident to one moving about in their homes, in their fields, in their churches, and in every phase of their farm life. We are finding a hard working, honest, upright, intelligent people, composing the citizenship of Chatham county. People who are interested m good schools, good rdads, good churches and are willing; to cro the limit to better the opportunities for their children. "In the homes we find an unmistak able evidence of the old Southern hospitality, so long extinct in other sections. The people are kind, cour teous and interested in the study of farm conditions, especially the women. They realize more quickly, in most mstatnees, the awful price that has been paid and is being paid to own a farm. The price consists of broken health, undernourished children, lacks of time for school and hastened old age. But may a better day be not too far dis tant. We shall be constantly moving among the farmers of Chatham, in their homes and fields and attending their churches and Sunday schools, in the study of their problems." In speaking of the farm tenacy survey, Dr. Clarence Poe, a native of Chatham, now editor of the Pro gressive Farmer, says: "I think the work which Mr. J. A. Dickey is doing for the North Caro lina State Tenacy Commission is one of the most valuable pieces of inves tigation ever undertaken in behalf of our North Carolina farmers. "I earnestly hope that every tenant and landlord will give him hearty co operation." We hope to see great results from this research work and it will ( be highly beneficial to Chatham if our people will lend every assistance to the workers in their duties. Every thing told them is strictly confiden tial, and you may be frank in your statements to them. Push the work along. NEWS LETTER FROM NEW HILL. New Hill, July 3.

BUILD A HOME. ,ii 1 i - Kids Is Kids ' BETTERMENT PLEDGES $150.00. Large Carp Caught Local and Per sonal Matters. over io pounu The Corinth Betterment Association met last week and pledged themsel ves to raise not to exceed $150.00 on the second teachers salary next year. This assures us of two teachers for the next term. The school committee thn held a meeting and accepted the Bettrment's offer. They also voted to require the teachers for the next year to teach the 8th grade work and pos sibly the 9th. As we have to resort to variou sschemes for making the new required average of 40 for the year, it seemed necessary to under take this upper grade work at least for the next school term. The arbi trary way of changing average at tendance requirements for two teach ers, will justify arbitrary methods of maintaining this required attendance and we propose to maintain it. Of all the stale, mud slinging cam paigns we ever heard of, the second primary for the office of solicitor in the Raleigh district was the stalest and muddiest. The Carolina Power and Light Co., at Buckhorn has started the building of another $5000.00 operator's cot tage. If those Buckhorn boys keep on getting married it will take all the Company can make to build homes for them. But that is alright, the Com pany will furnish the house and now we can renew our oftar fr six weeks only of a thoroughbred pig to the next one who will bring home a bride. Sydney Curry and Louise Nash were the dinner guests last Monday of Ruth Kennedy at Brickhaven. Hard rain showers everywhere iast week except around Corinth and now a good shower would be welcomed . A derailment last Saturday of two heavily loaded freight cars right at the Corinth depot tore up the track some and delayed the passenger train several hours.

At a real or fancied wrong; I can stand for the chap with a grouch if he s quick To drop it when joy comes along; I have praise for the fellow who says what he thinks, Though his thoughts may not fit with mine, But spare me from having ' to mix with ginks Who go through the world with a whine. I am williner to listen to sinner or saint Who is willing to fight for his rights And there's something sometimes in an honest complaint That the soul of me really delights, For kickers are useful and grouches are wise, For their purpose is frequently fine, But spare me from having to mix with guys Who go through the world with a whine. Selected. NEW COUNTY HOME. Work on the new county home is progressing smoothly. About all the brick work on the main building is finished and it has been covered.

As to fads and f oolisms,- they cov er the world as the waters the sea. Slogans have influenced more people than philosophers, and no philosopher ever used a slogan. Philosophy points the way to truth, lna other day 1 saw a number of placards bearing these words: "Keep Smiling." They were intended for insane asylum":. Se rious minded people do but little smiling. The image of Christ shows a man of sad and sorrowful counte nance. Is Mary, his mother, painted as a. giddy moron or a deep thimung woman? Did you ever see a picture of Paul and the Apostles smiling? To see smiles, look in your yellow journals, in the stage magazines, go to the movies, and you will see the beauties exhibiting the graces. Was Lincoln one of the world s greatest, a man o smiles? All such stuff is foolism. I often hear the expression, '"It is your own hard luck." Did you ever see such an expression in the Bible? Did Christ use such language : , we read of a man going from Jerusalem to Jerico, fell into the hands of a gang of cut throats, and was left in pretty hard luck. One hypocritical seat warmer of the synagogue passed aloner and still left the poor fellow in hard luck. A gentleman more hu mane came along and took care o the unfortunate traveler. Some peo ple never learn the lesson of being simply "human," pople who have noth ing m mind except keep their paws in the pockets of others may as well use such expressions. There comes a t;me wj)en;.people's mirth is turn- eu into surruw. . , Without a vision the people perislf eth, says the Bible; but, it means without knowledge they perish. Sow ing: to the wind will bring the whirl wind. Away here in this so-called age of wisdom, we do not know how to entertain ourselves. Like children we look to others to supply the toys and rattle boxes. People resort 10 the movies (an iniquity), to joy riding, and almost everything, to be amused. Instead of this why can't peoole learn to read good literature in their leis ure, and strengthen their souls am! minds from the wholesome thought of the most select company that ever lived. Any man is in good company who listens to Shakesjeare, Gibbon, Byron, Tolstoi, Poe, Lincoln, Plutarch and hosts of others. C. O. SMALL. Siler City, N. C. Family Reunion.
