There was a big surprise in store
lor the ladies of Pittsboro and sur
rounding country last Friday and Sat
urday morning when they paid a vis
it to inspect the new millinery and
ready-to-wear opening of the Misses
Caviness and Harmon, located over
the postoffice.
This is a new enterprise for Pitts
boro, a thing that has long been need
ed, and those who visited the open
ing were charmed at the success of
the enterprise, and the elaborate pro
vision that had been made for the
new store.
Miss Bessye Caviness has had long
experience in the millinery and ready
to-wear business and she has fine
taste and splendid ideas. Miss Cor
die Harmon is no novice in this kind
of work and her many friends here
and elsewhere are glad to see her in
a position where her good judgment
is needed. *
The opening was a great success,
patrons coming here from a long
distance to see the prety hats and
dresses and many purchases were
made.
. Watch The Record from time to
lime for the announcements that these
mdies will make in regard to their
store.

HE DIED AMONG HIS FRIENDS.
Don E. Teuch, Native of England,
Passes—Aged Nearly 72.
Many years ago there lived in Eng
land a man named Don Teuch. He
was a miner and was hurt in a mine
accident which incapacitated him from
that land of work. He left England
after he recovered from the accident
and went to Canada. Here he married
a beautiful young lady. From Canada
he drifted to the United States, final
ly landing in Chatham county. He
went over in Oakland township and
bought a small tract of land, built a
work shop and settled down to busi
i ness.
{ Mr. Teuch was a skilled workman
and was a man adept in making any
thing or everything that he wanted
to make.
i About four weeks ago this old gen
tleman made application to the coun
ty commissioners to take he and his
faithful wife to the county home 1
where they could spend the remain
der of their days in contentment,
agreeing to give everything he owned
to the county to pay for their upkeep, j
The commissioners agreed to do this |
and about two weeks ago, Mr. and •
Mrs. Teuch went to the home to live.
Last Thursday Mr. Teuch was bur
ied at Center Grove Christian church, ;
he having reached his three score and !
ten years, with one year and eleven
months more to his credit.
Mr. Teuch has been a sufferer from
heart trouble for a long time, and a
hemmorhage ended his life early on
, Wednesday of last week.
1 His good wife survives him and is
at the county home, where she will
be well taken care of during the bal
ance of her life.
Those who knew him state that Mr.
Teuch was a remarkable man in many j
respect, courteous and gentleman
ly in his manners and a kind and af
fectionate disposition.

PRIZES ARE AWARDED TO SIX
Hardest Task Yet to Decide Among
The Contestants.
Our puzzle in the issue of Febru
ary 21st, was answered by seventy
seven people, not near so many as
the week previous, but all had com
piled good answers and only a few
failing altogether. One young lady
from Chapel Hill sent in a good one
without giving her age; two were
correct but asked that their names
be not published, a few neglected to
state the department of the paper
they liked the best Most everyone
of them seemed to like the letters the
best, a few liked the editorials best of
ail, some said they liked Joe Snyder’s
letters and several said they were
very much interested in Phil’s let
ters every week.
Altogether there were about fifty
six who had an absolutely correct
answer and Mr. Snyder had to judge
on merit alone. He states that he had
the worst time in his life in decid
ing on this proposition and he finally
narrowed the contest down to six
letters, so we have decided to let it
go at that and give each a free sub
scription. Miss Lula Emily Beal, of
Siler City, Rt. 5, gets the six months
subscription and to the five others We
are giving four months each, in reg
ular order as follows: Mrs. R. H. Ov
erby, Merry Oaks, Herman Zavan
Teague, Siler City, Rt. 1, Clara Ethel
Tysor, Pittsboro, R. 3, Joseph Wom
ble Goldston, Goldston, Mildred
Bums, Cumnock, Rt. 1.
The foregoing six people will please
notify us at once to whom they want
the paper sent. "If we do not hear
from them by Saturday, March 9th,
we shall enter the name of the win
ner as a subscriber.
Among those deserving creditable
mention are: Elizabeth Mann, Emma
K. Sanders, Ormsby Smith, Royse B.
Dickens, Mary Mattie Mclver.
Others having the answer correct,
so far as the sentence was concerned,
were as follows: Mrs. Clyde Bland,
Minnie Johnson, John Lester John
son, Mrs. H. W. Mims, Billie Chapin,
Elizabeth Hester, Gladys Hough, Ef
fie Phillips, Willie Dismukes, Louise

Answers and awards to last week’s
puzzle will be published in our next
paper, March 13th. Also another puz
zle will be published,
j In the list above are several ans
wers from previous winners and a
; great many that have answered al
j most every one that we have had.
, We admire the determination of the
; young folks. Don’t give up because
j you missed one or two or several, be
-1 cause sooner or later you will win.
It is the boy or girl that sticks to the
last that becomes victor in the the
final effort, not only with our puzzles,
but in every undertaking in life.
In other parts of this paper the
answers of the winners are publish
ed and we ask you to look them up
and read them. It is a source of much
pleasure to note that so many of our
j young friends are becoming inbued
I with the spirit of “trading with home
people.” Our advertisers will surely
Appreciate this determination and they
will keep you advised as to what they
have at all times.
Several of our friends suggested
that the puzzle should have read: “Do
all your trading with Record adver
tisers.” This is a good suggestion and
! one that you will be safe in follow
: ing, because all our advertisers are re
; liable folks and will treat you right.

PITTSBORO MASONS BANQUET.
Not a Full Attendance But Occasion
Was One Long to be Remembered.
Wednesday night of last week the
Masonic lodge of Pittsboro held their
annual banquet at the Hotel Blair.
The occasion was attended by forty
members of the lodge, there being
usually around seventy to be present.
The banquet was engineered by Er
nest Williams and Rufus Farrell, the
arrangement committee, and they en
listed the services of Frank May,
proprietor of the Hotel Blair. Mr.
May proved himself an artist at pre
paring a feast for the lodge and it
is said by those in attendance that
the banquet was one of the best that
has ever been held. Messrs Williams
and Farrell left nothing undone that
would contribute to the entertainment.
Mr. Louis Nooe, was selected as
toastmaster, and his witticisms and
unique manner prompted approval
from every source.
Dr. A. M. Proctor, of Trinity Col
lege, Durham, was an honorary guest,
and his address to the body of men
on the educational advantages and
the part that Masonry played in it,
was well received and acknowledged
to be a gem in every detail.
Responding for short addresses, and
each acquitting himself admirably,
were Messrs W. M. Eubanks, D. L.
Bell, Jas. L. Griffin, W. P. Horton,
Harry B. Norwood, W. R. Thoppson,
J. Dewey Dorsett and Ed. A. Hatch.
Columbus Lodge No. 102 is one of
the oldest in the state afod its annual
banquets are looked forward to with
great pleasure and is always en
joyed. It goes without saying that
Mr. May made an impression on the
membership that will be lasting and
he will no doubt be enlisted again.

| V. Oldham Wrecks Car—Locals
and Personals From Goldston.
.
Goldston, March 3.—Another sign
of increasing prosperity in Goldston
is two new warehouses being built
one by the Lee County Cotton Oil
Company and the other by Mr. A. B.
Womble.
Beginning April first rural route
No. 1 from Goldston will be given
daily service. Route No. 2 will re
main as a tri-weekly for the pres
ent. Heretofore both routes have had
sendee but three times a week. This
improvement in the service is large
ly due to the untiring efforts of the
postmistress, Mrs. M. C. Olive, with
i some assistance from Mr. Colin G.
I Shaw who enlisted the interest of
Senator Simmons, he being interest
ed as a publisher, so that The Chat
j ham Record would receive more
prompt delivery to his subscribers.
This is a great improvement, not on
ly to the patrons of the route them
selves. It gives the public and the
patrons daily access to the news and
puts them on equal advantage with
other communities. Route No. 2 will
be advanced as soon as the business
of the route demands a change, but
at the present there is an insufficient
number of pieces of mail handled.
The examination for an eligible list
for 'postmaster at Goldston, will be
held at Sanford on Saturday, March
15th.

LOOK FOR PUZZLE NEXT WEEK
Cannot Offer Contest This Week on
Account of Sickness of Snyder.
This week Mr. Joe Snyder is sick in

puzzle for this paper until next week,

PEOPLE
The award to last week’s puzzle will

In almost every letter received
there was a high compliment to The
Chatham Record from old and young.
Many of them were personal compli
ments to the editor and we sincerely
hope that these young folks will con
tinue to have the same confidence in
us as they now have.
The answer to the puzzle in our

THE DISTRICT CONFERENCE
To be Held in Fayetteville on Wednes
day, March 2th, 1924.
The Fayetteville District Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, will convene in Hay street
church, Fayetteville, N. C., on Wed
nesday morning, March 12th, at ten
o’clock and will remain in session for
two days.
This Conference embraces 105
churches,served by 23 pastors, located
in the following counties: Cumber
land, Bladen, Sampson, Harnett, Lee,
Moore and Chatham. Each pastoral
charge is represented in the District
Conference by the pastor, the charge
i leader, and four delegates elected by
the Quarterly Conference. The Dis
trict lay leader, the district secretary,
; of the Woman’s Missionary Society,
and all the preachers residing within
I the bounds of the District ,are also
members of the Conference. The total
membership is about 150.
At each of the last two Conferenc
es held in the District there were
present more than one hundred mem
j bers of the Conference. Fayetteville
| being centrally located and easy of
access, it is thought that even a larg
er number will answer to the roll call
this year. Those who attend will
be entertained by the Methodists of
Fayetteville.
Bishop Collins Denny, of Richmond,
Va., now in charge of the four an
nual Conferences in North and South
Carolina expects to attend this ses
sion of the District Conference and
will preside while he is present. This
will be the first time in a number of
years that one of the Bishops of the
church has attended this District Con
ference, and the coming of Bishop
Denny for this session is looked for
ward to with great interest by those
who expect to attend. He presided ov
er the session of the Annual Confer
ence held in Fayeteville some years
