They are ’ amon gthe oldest of our citizens, hav , ing lived their time honored ages of 80 and 88 respectively. They bear testimony to the longevity of life and ! peaceful contentment you can live in [ our healthful and bountiful county _ Do we think often enough of its re ’ markable people and of Chatham’s many natural blessings toward good [ living? With it’s abundance of water power, pure water to drink, ample timber, it’s fertile soil that produces the fine vegetables and fruits for us, and Chatham’s unusually good amount , of rare game of many kinds, coal and ore and other resources, all of ! which are such assets that contribute ' to the welfare of mankind. Let us ’ not forget these native Chathamites . of ours that we know possess natur ' al qualities for straightforwardness 1 and congenial nature and a generous hospitality that knows no limit, which, ' if we will reflect, is a characteristic ' of Chatham folks to a great extent. In the picture we have Esquire ; Robert M. Burns and Mi's. Robert M. Bums. To thus mention elsewhere j many there are who would have them happily in mind as component parts ; of Pittsboro itself, so to speak, it may be said, for widely distributed are . their hosts of friends and long ago ’ acquaintances. In the picture we have a most . unique happening of long time sub i scribers to the CHATHAM RECORD. Mrs Burns is reading the RECORD and Mr. Bums is hearing the news This was taken entirely unknown to ; either of them ,until the picture came through i There were 81 answers received to r the puzzle and 20 of these were abso- j ■ lutely correct, both as to the rules • and the correct word. The winning! : answers were given on condition of 3 neatness and general arrangement, Os the 81 received, seven did not cer -3 tify that they had received no help; s ten addressed the letter to The Chat s ham Record instead of to Joe Snyder; J four did not say whether a member of • the family was receiving The Record ; or not. There were twenty-three out r of the 81 that stated that The Record ■ ■ did not go to any member of the I family and a sample copy is being 1 l mailed to each’ of them this week. j We are proud of the interest that i is being taken in our puzzle depart r ment and we hope to make it even ■ more interesting in the future. l In the next issue of The Record ■ another puzzle will be printed and we want our friends- to watch* for it. : ENJOYABLE SOCIAL EVENT. } ■ ■ ■— ■■ ’ Mr. and Mrs. Lee Harmon Entertain ’ ed at Home of Mrs. J.
