B.—Misses Zula Pat terson, Ola Harmon, Daisy ' Lee Northcutt, and Mrs. Roy Walls spent last Sunday at Raleigh, shopping for Christmas. The play, entitled “Flapper Grand mother,” given by the high school students of Pittsboro in Moncure au ditorium last Saturady evening was especially good and was very much enjoyed by the nice crowd present. Miss Elizabeth Farrell, efficient bookkeeper and stenographer for the Orell-Maddox Lumber Co., left last Thursday for Yemassee, S. C., where she was called to straighten and check up the Company’s books there. Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Murchison and Mr. ,F. W. Knight, of Gulf, visited Mr. and - Mrs. Roy N. Knight last Sunday. It was a thing unusual for the riv er to be frozen over at Lockvile, es pecialy'at this time of year, but that was what hapened last Tuesday morn ing, Dec. 2. Two years ago in January Mr. V. H. Hilliard came from Bowersville, Ga., to Moncure, seking a position with the Phoenix Utility Co. But as , ’ ter looking Moncure over and seeing ; such a great prospect for the future, he located on Railroad street, near i the depot, and commenced the opera -1 tion of a case and meat market. Mrs. * Hilliard and children, Edna und Herbert, came in two or three months. His busines venture, by the untiring efforts of him and his wife, has so ex ( panded that he is compelled to seek larger quarters. He has secured a larger building . from Mr. J. E. Bryan and launched into general grocery busines in ad dition to his market and case. This ; building is not sufficient for his in creasing business, so he decided to qrect a new and up-to-date brick structure o» Main street, near Dr. 1 Strickland’s old office. In this build ing he plans not only to continue his ! present business but to provide an | up-to-date hotel accommodation for | Moncure. Come to Moncure for it is a good ! place to live. | Mr. Jake of Florida, is{ vis iting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. B.

So said ! an official of the federal Department; j of Agriculture in speaking before. a national rural life conference in Mil waukee the other day. “The city,” he declared, is the place of fewer families, more unmarried : adults and fewer children in families 1 having children. Space is too deal in j the cities for children. Families who j desire children must move to the j country. The farm has sunlight, space,: air and quiet. That’s why the children. are there. “The common occupation of the, farmer’s family also tends to weld more firmly the family idea. The ru ral home and family becomes, there fore, a type in the nation. The city family has long ceased to be the type of American family. The rural home is holding the line for the family idea in the nation. This is the reason ru ral life is significant. If the rural structure crumbles the nation crum bles-” ' „ , This statement might be pondered over to advantage by those who think that the big circulation figures of the ' metropolitan dalliles are a true index i of their importance in American life. The newspapers which go into these i . homes, which are “holding the line for ! the family idea in the nation, are the ! family idea in the nation,” are the i community newspapers, the weeklies i and small dailies.-Puhlisher’s Auxil- j | iary. __ , • | WO R7 TO BEGIN ON r I SILK MILL JANUARY 15. i Mr. A.

C., CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1924. A LAND MARK REMOVED. Some Early History of Siler City Community Going To and Fro—New Store Complete. Siler City, Dec. B.—A real estate transaction of more than ordinary in terest occurred a few days'ago'when R. A. ‘Williams purchased* from J. Ci Lane the lot on which stood the old miller’s (house, known in recent years as “the house in the park” because of its location adjoining the wooded spot used by the town folks for pub lic gatherings. Tnis old house and the famous old Matthews house, which gave the name of Matthews Cross Roads to this community before it became a thriv ing metropolis and was named Siler City, were the only dwellings inside of what are now the town limits. Today this old log structure is being tom away to be replaced by a mod em seven room bungaolw, into which Mr. Williams and his family will move upon its completion. It has a history (this old landmark) for it served many, many years as a home for the miller of the old Siler mill, which in those days stood nearby, and served the community as a producer of corn meal, carded wool and sawed lum ber for the first houses hereabouts. About the time the Thompson school was established here the mill was abandoned and a number of our pres ent citizens lived temporarily in this house while erecting their own (homes. Among these were Rev. W. F, Wom ble, presiding elder of the Greens boro district, who for a number of years was 3 resident of this place; John F. Lambe; John White and D. R. Fowler, who used it as a rooming place for students of the school. George Pickett, Siler City’s new chief of police, with his family (have moved in the property occupied until recently by Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Stone, who have moved to the new bungalow near the home of his father, west of town. Mrs. Clyde Headen, of t ßaleijgh;, was a recent visitor to the home of Mrs. Sallie Headen. Friends and relatives here of Mrs. Frank Stone are gratified to learn of her improvement from a recent ill ness at her home at Graham. C. W. Snyder, of Winston-Salem, was here Friday in the interest of the J unior Order, of which lie is state organizer. The new store building of Wrenn ■ Brothers Company which has ben in /joursfe /bl! construction, for several months, is being finished this week and will be occupied in time for the Christmas trade. Dr. R. H. Durham, of Detroit, , Mich., is at the home of his parents j here recuperating from a recent se , rious illness. He will remain until' aft<»r the holidays. Mrs. W. Hampton Ferguson, who. lives east of this place, was taken to Grpensboro Saturday for an oper ; at ion for appendicitis, which was performed immediately upon her ar ; rival. Reports today are that she is j resting fairly well, i Mrs. Jennie Edwards, Miss Annie ! Sel Brooks and Edwin Ferguson have i gone to Salisbury today to bring home Mis Virp.fi.nia Edwards, vho .has ! been visiting Mrs. E. G. Thompson for two weeks. Mi. and Mrs. George Knox, of Greensboro, are guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Wrenn. i Mrs. Rob Watson, Mr. and Mrs. G. T. Wetmore and little son, and Miss VelHe Margaret Watson, of Durham, y-pi'e e'no.cts in. fhp home yesterday ot Mr. and Mrsi M. M. Fox. The local school wil close for the Christmas holidays on Friday, the 19th. and reopen on Wednesday, Dec ember 31. .Bwa-O-na*- JOHN E. BURNS 1 DEAD AFTER LONG ILLNESS. Sanford, Dec. 9. —Hundreds of peo : pie from all walks of life gathered | at Asbury church in Chatham county today at 3 o’clock to pay their last tribute to John R. Burns who died ! yesterday at noon following an ill ness of many years. The funeral ser vice was conducted by Rev. B. C. Womack, of Wake Forest, and Rev. H.. L. Witten, of Goldston. Mr. Burns was in his sixty-fourth year and one j of Chatham’s prominent farmers and j lumbermen. He is survived by his \ I wife, one daughter, Mrs. J. T. Rosser; ! one brother,W. S. Burns; two sisters j and many grand children. The de ceased was a member ot Asbury Methodist church. — » ffn Elbert A. Herndon, 81, a highly re spected citizen of Chatham county, and Raleigh, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. R. Winston at 311 West Hargett street at 5 o’clock MOll - day morning, says The Raleigh Times. | Mr. Herndon was born and reared ?n Chatham and lived there all his life until about two years ago when he came to Raleigh to make his home with his daughter. He was for more than thirty years a deacon in Mar tha’s Chapel Christian church in Chatham. During the Civil War Mr. Herndon served under General Lee and was twice wounded, once at Get tysburg. He married Miss Sue M. Cheek, who died five years ago. He is survived by three daughters and two sons and by one brother, DeWitt Herndon, of Chatham. Pastor R. R. Gordon and Mr. J. L. Griffin and possibly others went to Raleigh yesterday to attend the Baptist State Convention. A year’s subscription to The Rec ord will prove an acceptable Christ mas* gift, especially to natives of the county who are living elsewhere. SILER CITY SCHOOL NEWS. Siler City, Dec.

B— Miss Maggie Wick *! er, a nurse in the Central Carolina hospital at Sanford, who underwent an operation for appendicitis sometime ago, is at home recuperating. Mis Eatha Elkins, a student in Bonlee high school, spent the week- I end at home. Worth Elkins, son of Mr. and Mrs. ! C. W. Elkins, was brought home from' i the Central'Carolina hospital Wednes-j j day, where he had undergone an op- j eration for appendicitis. ! Work on the Baptist and the Pres- j bvteriaa churches has been delayed.on] account of matrial. Both denomina- 1 | aons are to be congratulated upon the erection of such splendid struct j ures. Both are modern church build- I ings. Nothing bespeaks the progress I of a community more than its churches and let us hope a better school build ! inp; v/iii be ours in the near future. The ladies of the Baptist church are planning to hold a bazaar Dec ember 20th. The proceds wil go to ward furnishing their new church. The school seems to be progressing very nicely. The enrollment has ex ce<!*er. ull past records. To date it is 20C. Several things, have been done ; to make the building more comfort , able, namely, a new roof, shades for the windows, a number of new desks. : We also have the state’s requirement, of maps for‘the standard high-school, the other features we hope to add dur ! ing this year so that next year we • I may be on the, accredited list. . j On December 19th, ’ the primary; | grades, under the supervision of Miss- ; er.

Lance, Mrs. Lance, and baby girl arirved last week and ; are domiciled in the Methodist par-! sonage. Mr. Lance preached (his first sermon here Sunday. He made a fine iiripression upon his '.congregation. Mr. Lancp is a delightful gentleman; and The Record deems Pittsboro and | ktihe other churches of the circuit for- j tunate in securing him as a successor; to the former good pastor,. Rev. J. J.! Boone. Mrs. Lance; too, is an acqui- j sitibn. The editor oi The Record ; personally delighted with the coming: of these old friends. | Mr. LanCe announced Sunday that; the quarterly conference, under the 1 auspices of Presiding Elder Willis,; will be held with the Pittsboro church : next Monday.

Cross, -is confined to his bed with an attack of apendicitis. Dr. Burt thinks likely an operation will be neic essary but we hope not. - We are very glad to be able to say that Mrs. Katherine Mclver, 81 years old, who sustained a broken arm and broken (hip two weeks ago 'is geting along fine. Her doctors think now that by the use of crutch es she wil be. able to get about some before very long. Mrs. F. M. Nash and her daughter, Miss Louise, have tboth been sick for the last two days and not able to be about. There was a reunion of the Clark family at Corinth last Sunday. Four generations were represented. Mr. D. A. Claifc, who is employed at Blew itt FaJli* was at home for tJhe week end. Thwr'there was Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Cole, of Moncure, who are Mrs. Clarks parents. Then their children, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Allen, of Star, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Morgan, of Charlotte, Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Wil son, of Broadway. This bunch with 6 grand children who were also on hand made quite a week end party. The new pastor, Rev. Mr. A. F. Du val, preached his first sermon at Buekhom church Sunday afternoon. He haul a good audience and preached a splendid sermon. He announced his preaching dates-at Buekhom as every , first and fourth Sunday afternoon. Mr.' Duvall has 5 churches on %is circuit but will still be able to hold two services each month at Buckhorn. Mr, A. M. Pollard has a case in Chatham county civil court against the Phoenix Utility Co., that comes up this week at Pittsboro. Mr. Pollard basest his >claim upon injuries receiv ed some six months ago, when in some way he was caught under the dumping of a skip load of excavated material at the Cape Fear Steam plant. We wonder if any of the citizens and papers who are coming to the moral support of the banker sentenc ed by Judge Grady last week, ever lost money thru any of the all too. many bank that have occurr ed in oqr state- within the last few. years. How many cases can vou recall of j bank failures in North Carolina that; have paid their depositors back in fuilt Banks are a public necesity. We have to have them in our busi nes world, and as such our legisla ture should enact and enforce a law sipiiliar to that which exists in a; few other states and which provides 1 for, fund by requiring a recognized bank to take out with the state what m'ght be called an insur ance policy for the protection of a, depositor.

The doctor expects the meeting to be profitable in the way of instruction as well as afford a pleasant outing in the Land of • Flowers. I NUMBER 27- BENNETT IS A BUSY TOWN. On a Big Boom—One of The Healthiest Places in Chat ham County. (Concluded From Last Week.) Tihe Bennett Roller Mill is having the largest output in its history. The Central Case, thougjh small, has become a thriving, paying busi ness under the management of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. The Standard Oil Company has a fine plant here with storage capacity of 32,000 gallons. Mr. Ed. H. Johnson in charge, informs us that his deliv eries run over sixteen thousand gal lons a month. All sold in and near Bennett. This is proof of farm meth od improvement. The tractor and wood saw are heard and seejj on every hand. In a little while there will not be a wife left, who will have to. cut her own fire wood. This is no joke. I have seen it all over this county. The six stores here, carrying gro ceries, dry goods, hardware and farm implements, are all doing* a good pay ing business. 1 * Among our many needs is, first, a consolidated school. The small schools at Fall Creek, Blue Rock, Whit r Oak, Pleasant Grove and the Phil lips, Purvis and Lambert schools should all be consolidated at Bennett. Some of our citizens object to the consolidated school, claiming “it only costs more for the same goods.” But t little thought will, I think, set that aside. What about the shoes worn out : in the long walks over rough, wet and muddy roads? Many, some say half, of the children in country schools sit all day with wet, col dfeet, lower ing body vitality and therby in viting disease —colds, flu, pneumonia, (Consumption and death. This very kind of school going acocunts for a large percent of our puny ones alt about. When you come to count the wear ..and tear of cost of • -medicines and doctor bills, loss of health, say, when you come to count ! all these things, the extra tax for free delivery is nothing. Half of Bear Creek township should come to Ben nett and the other half should go to Bonlee. j Bennett’s most pressing need now-is 1 housing facilities. Not a resident or store' building to be had in. town, or a residence near town. If we had , ten or fifteen houses, of 5 to 8 rooms, !• they would be filed in 80 days, j Everybody that ever lived in Ben nett wants to come back. Billy Oats, * . north of town, is trying to trade his | farm for property in Bennett. John Yow, former store keeper here, is j coming back as soon as he can buy 1 and build. Talmadge Moffiitt, farmer, has purchased and will put up a mod -1 era bungalow in Bennet for his future | home. Chester R. Scotton, of Glendon, j one time‘head of the Bennet graded schotl, is coming back, they say. Mr. i and Mrs. J. H. Scott have tired of ; life in Greensboro and returned last I week to Bennett to stay.

Miss Dora Holt made a talk at Sun- t day school on “How (Jo we Sow to v ‘ the Flesh.” Next Sunday Miss Rose Sturdivant and Mr. Millard Goodwin will discuss “How can we Restore our Spiritual Sight.” There appears to be quite a num ber of cases of sickness in this sec tion, although not any of the pa ; tients -are seriously ill. j A little daughter arrived at the | home of Mr. and Mrs. Claud Bland ! last • Friday. Mrs. Bland r before her larriage was Miss Flonnie Goodwin, a popular young lady of this route.
