SIDE STREET GOSSIP. &
By Joe Foreman.
A man is a great fool to make up
his estimate of another man on just
what he has heard. Everybody about
was telling of W. W Somersett and
nothing very good was told. It was
all on account of how Gladys Logan
was carrying on round here this sum
mer. Mr. Somersett came in last week
tor his family. It was the first sitht
of him in this town and of course
the folks were anxious to look him
over, but everybody got a fooling. He
is a nrst-ciass, high toned young fel
low, about 30 years old; good bearing
and clean dressed. He came down and
said he was anxious to see over the
place and meet the folks. He was at
the store to do a little trading for Mrs
Logan and Bill Watson told who he
was. He spent four days in the town
and m that time managed to get
pretty well all around and meet many
of our best people. Everybody is well
pleased with him and the wonder to
all is that Gladys was ever able to
get him. Nobody knows why Galdys
wanted to show off like she did around
her old home town for, but she cer
tainly put herself in a bad light, but
with her husband it is all different.
He was just plain Will Somersett and
he shows what good blood and good
raising will do for a boy. He was
glad he had a decent job and not
ashamed of work. He has been able
to get along all right in this world,
but it is plain that he has put plenty
of push and grit into it. He belongs to
one of the good old Virginia families
and was taught that it was a great
achievement and nobility of life and
character that counted and not what
your grand-daddy or some one of your
ancestors did or said. Blood is thick
er than water as has been said but
at that it all depends on how a man
is brought up. Will Somersett has
the blood and the raising and I am
predicting that he will make his mark
in the world unless he is handicapped
with that wife. A man rarely gets
above the level of his wife. Many a
man has been held down all his life
by a fool woman and a great many
more men have amounted to some
thing in this world all because they
had an ambitious woman to help and
encourage them.
Will Somersett has gone back to
his work and carried Gladys and the
children with him. I hope that it will
all turn out all right and I think it
will. Gladys will find out that she
has something else in life to do than
to splurge about and wear good
clothes. You can depend on Will
bringing her through if there is any
chance for her. Sometimes a runt pig
(well taken care of) makes a fine
porker. Many a silly girl will turn
out to be a fine woman and a good
mother.
BIG DAY AT HANKS.
One of the largest crowds ever
seen at Hanks Chapel church was
there last Sunday. Rev. Mr Carden,
of Dunham, preached a very interest
ing sermon. Then there was quite a
contest among the several choirs of
the eastern part of Chatham, in de
termining which was the best, and it
is said that Gum Springs took the
laurels.
The singing was fine, a big dinner
on the ground, one of the events, was
enjoyed and the day passed off very
pleasantly.
There will be preaching on the fifth
Sunday, that being next Sunday, Oct
ober 29th, at Bonlee at Hope M. P.
church, conducted in the morning at
11 o'clock by the pastor, Rev. W. M.

NEW MAIL ROUTE.
Establishment of a Line Between Dur
ham and Siler City Proposed.
For several weeks J. S. Wrenn, of
Pittsboro, has been working hard and
faithful for a new mail route from
Durham to Siler City and return, via
Pittsboro, Riggsbee, Chapel Hill to
Durham.
There are three star routes in this
county that cost the postoffice de
partment $2800. This new mail route
would leave Durham in the morning
at 6:30, leave Chapel Hill 7:10, leave
Pittsboro 8:18 and arrive at Siler
Citv at 9:00 a. m. . .
Simultaneously the . sul would
1 o:i . .
leave oner vity at me same time,
6:30 a. m., arriving in Durham at 9:00
o'clock.
In the afternoon the mail would
leave Durham at 3:30, arrive at Chap
el Hill 4:10, Pittsboro 5:18, reaching
Siler City at 6 o'clock.
The mail would leave Siler City at
the same hour, 3:30 p. m., and arrive
in Durham at 6 o'clock.
According to a recent survey by a
civil engineer, the distance between
Siler City and Durham is 41 i miles.
This schedule would make close con
nection at Chapel Hill and Pittsboro
with the rural routes, and make con
nections at Siler City with morning
and afternoon trains and also at Dur
ham with early trains putting the
morning papers and mail into all these
towns five or six hours sooner than
they are getting them now.
This schedule would give Pittsboro
six mails daily if the postoffice can
see its way to put the route on.
There are two small postoffices in
Chatham .which can be supplied by
rural route carriers, one is Evans,
about half a mile from route 3, Pitts
boro, and Hackney, which is near
Bynum route 1.
This route will be an advantage to
at least 7,100 people in Chatham and
about 5,000 in Orange, besides at
least 1,800 students in Chapel Hill.
The proposed route is over a splen
did State highway the entire distance,
and is for a double daily mail, except
Sunday, and would cost the govern
ment $6,000. a year.
A daily mail route from the two
points, Siler City to Durham, would
cost $3,000, whereas the department
is now paying $2800 for the star
routes now being operated, one of
them coming into Pittsboro only three
times a week.
By all means let's have the double
daily route. Our busniess men and
citizens should get busy and help Mr.
Wrenn push this matter before the
postoffice department at Washington.
Mr. Wrenn deserves great credit for
what he is doing; giving his time, en
ergy and money for the benefit of the
people along the line of the route.,
and he has no hopes of gaining any
more benfit than anyone else.
Senator Simmons and Congressman
Pou have both agreed to do all in
their power to get this route through
and it is hoped they will be success

RECORDETTES
Our old friend B. Arp Lowrance,
sales manager for the Western News
paper Union, Charlotte, N. C, writes
us a letter in which he says: "Since
it is time for rabbits to be getting
ripe in Chatham, we know that bus
iness will improve and that the hunt
ers will want to spend their long ev
enings reading good stories and serial
features in addition to local gossip,
which, your newspapers contain." etc
Well, friend, you are right and we are
using some of those features to an
advantage and we appreciate them,
too. Can't go very strong on the se
rial stuff right now, though. A politi
cal campaign is on and we must
smuggle all reference to the "also
ran" folks, and because so many of
the authors persist in enumerating
shattered desires, we must bide our
time.
O
Kind reader by turning to our edi
torial column this week, you will note
that it contains other matter than ed
itorial. This is the first paper that we
ever printed in Chatham county with
out a few editorial lines at least, but
the excellent list of winners at our
County Fair, are of more importance
to us than all the editorial we could
write in a month, so we are resting on
our oars for future utterance and we
trust you will read the list of winners
in full this week.

The admission is only ten cents and
the pictures are well worth going to
see, not only for your own benefit,
but for the welfare for all the school
children in Chatham county.
Our citizenship should patronize
these exhibits as it benefits the whole
community in which they are pro
duced. Remember, tonight (Thursday)
at the school auditorium at 7:30.

nyj, are to be put back on their reg
ular run November 1st. This will be
good news to the traveling public, es
pecially many of our people who do a
good deal of trading in Raleigh.
This 'train has been missed more
than any other train from the main
line, as people heretofore had to go
by auto, as there were no afternoon
train going north.
Other trains will be restored on the
same date, 31 and 34 between Hamlet
mington and Hamlet RDLU U U
and Wilmington and betwen Ham'et
and Charlotte; Nos. 7 and S between
Atlanta and Birmingham will be put

that were taken off in July on acount
of the railroad strike.

transferred to the Pittsbo'-o Branch,

is said, will now go hack to his regu

oldest engineer working daily on the
seaboard, and during ins short stay
here he has made many friends in
Pittsboro. Capt. J. F. Alscon will take
his. old run back on the Pittsboro
branch. The Captain's short rest has

A SPLENDID SERMON.
News of Personal and Local Nature
Of Interest to Many Readers.
Corinth, October 23. The people
who went to church at Buckhorn last
Sunday all say that they heard Bro.
filand deliver the best sermon that
has been preached in the old church
in a long time. He dwelt somewhat
upon the much agitated topic of a
new church building for the commu
nity. Nothing in the way of further
community development is more need
ed here than a good, modern, central
ly located church building, it is not
a question of the people being able to
build a good church, not at all, but
rather a question of the people get
ting together, agreeing on a location
and then going to work. In our opin
ion there is no place more centrally
located, more ideally situated or more
accessible than the lot near the Cor
inth school house. However, there are
other places that are very desirable.

venient five passenger carry-all.

The Teachers Pounded.
The teachers' pounding party was
quite a success, but let them tell about
it:
"Last Saturday night an enjoyable
surprise party was given the teach
ers of Corinth school by the good
people of the community, when about
fifty people gathered at the home of
Mr. I. H. Buchanan and marched in a
ine by twos to the home of Mrs. O.
A Mims where the teachers, who are
doing light house-keeping, were fin
ishing their supper, and had hands in
the making of a Sunday cake. Each
person carried a package. Although,
by the way, they were not all pack
ages as one person brought a nice
frying size live chicken. The articles
presented consisted of groceries, can
ned fruit, preserves, pickles, chocolate
cake, eggs, jelly and other things to
eat, even tooth picks were included.
As the grown people entered they
were followed by the school children,
and even some of the tiny tots, not old
enough to enter school, were each
carrying a paper bag with "some
thing" in it.
After depositing their presents on
the table and other convenient places,
the people called for a speech from
the teachers, who were so surprised
and excited at first that they could
only stand and stare, hardly knowing
what to say or do, but after recover
ing somewhat from the surprise they
expressed their appreciation and grat
itude for the gifts as best they could,
under the circumstances.
There was quite a lot of laughing
and fun making and everyone seemed
to enjoy the occasion immensely, as
if they felt that it is "more blessed
to give than to receive," but of course
in this instance the receiving was the
greatest blessing to the teachers and
one that will not soon be forgotten.
The teachers of Corinth leel that
there is not another neighborhood in
Chatham or any other county in North
Carolina in which the people have
shown more interest toward the teach
ers and the school.
A finer spirit of good wil 1 and
generosity could not have been shown
in any other manner."
Mr H. F. Richardson asks us to
state that the patrons and pupils of
Meadow Creek school are requested
to meet at the school house next
Saturday, October 28th, at 2 o'clock,
to arrange about books and other
matters.
