The farmers of other counties who are working by ways and p’ars of county agents one of these days are going to walk out i and lead the world in farming, and . Chatham will be coming on behind like the cowl’s tad, and I doubt if sire even has the proper switch. I think the ladies are entitled to a home demonstration agent.

I wish to announce that a clinic will be given at the county home by j the State board of health for the pur- j pose of removing diseased tonsils and < adnoids of children between the ages ] of 6 and 12 years. It will begin on the Bth day of May and continue for s at least four days and, if needed, ] longer. The entire cost for each child will . be $12.50; but we want it thoroughly ] understood, however, that no child will be turned away because his parents . are not able to bear this expense, as each community can easily take care . of any who are not able to pay; and ] where a community cannot arrange to do so we will take care of the case. • We will try to arrange for a nurse to be in each township for one day 1 the last week in this month for the purpose of examining children. But let me urge that parents who have reason to believe that their children need treatment, and would like to have them examined, if it is found that they have defective tonsils or ad noids and want to have them treated at the clinic to please write AT ONCE Dr. J. B. Wright, the doctor who operated on 110 children at the Siler City clinic, and every operation was successful—will be with us again this year. Please let me beg every one to co operate with us in this great work.* Yours verv thulv, W. R. THOMPSON. Member Chatham Co. Health Board. Moncure Locals.

Corinth, April 16.—High time for people to be making garden and plant ing crops and still it rains. Regular , gully wasers, the kind that pick up , the good soil from the hill sides and carry it on down into the creeks and rivers. Now if we had a county farm agent he could and would get out ) among the people and show them how | to terrace thier land and not lose any of it. Day by day at every rain untold wealth is being -washed away, enough during the big rain to pay a county agent for a year. How about it, good people.

The play, “My Irish Rose,” last Saturday night proved to be quite a success. The house was full and ap preciative, and this always inspires the players to do their best. The community pictures seem to have faded away entirely. We miss them and are very sorry. We hear a great deal about the fel low who wants and often times needs help to get a hold or a sure, firm grip on things but last week one of the boys up at Phoenix Hill had to call in help to get loose after he had gotten hold. 0. A. Mims, night electrician on the job, got hold of a hot wire wiiile standing on the side of a box car. A couple of colored boys came to the rescue but when they touched Mims or the wire they too “froze” to it. Finally some one succeeded in break ing the wire w*hich threw the whole bunch, white and black, head long in to a pile of sand. When the blacks came up out of the sand pile they left for parts unknown and Alpha handles hot stuff now with gloves only, or not at all. In the Long Ago.
