JOHN, R. BRIGHT?- M^tgggee-. SILER CITY NEVVS Siler City, Dec. 7. —In response to a telegram from the police authorities of Spartanburg, South Carolina, sher iff G. W. Blair accompanied by*W. H. Hadley, manager of Gregson-Dorsett wholesale grocery of this place, went to Spartanburg yesterday to investi gate clues leading to the possible ap prehension of the parties who robbed the above named firm last Wednes day night of approximately SBOO worth of goods, principally cigar ettes. It is reported here today that a suspicious shipment of possibly these goods was made from Goldston same being consigned to Spartan burg. The authorities, there it is stated were notified to hold the party or parties calling for the packages. An unverified report current here to day is that one arrest has been made and the party held until the arrival of Sheriff Blair and Mr. Hadley. There is a strong probability that the robbers operating here last Wed nesday night are the same that re moved a large quantity of goods from the stores of Dunlap-Waddell and Langdon Drug store at Bonlee two weeks ago. An ugly cutting affray occurred here late yesterday afternoon in the mill section when following a dispute Charles Lifmens was severely cut with a knife by his brother-in-law, Ike Jordan. According to policeman Pickett, both men were intoxicated, their quarrel growing out of a trifle. Jordan was arrested and placed in jail to await trial. Linnes was at tended by Dr. W. Clyde Thomas, who today stated that the man was not critically hurt though his wounds were of such nature as to require 15 stitches. A most distressing accident occur red on the farm of L. Me. Stout 2 miles east of Ore Hill early Satur day morning when Dewey Joseph Hicks, age 2 1-2 years was accident ly shot and instantly killed by his brother, A .Colon Lee Hicks, age 7 years. A gun had been left loaded in the room of the home the night be fore by an older boy of the- family J for the purpose of shooting a dog which had been, prowling about tfee premises. The morning the two small boys gained possession of the gun before it was replaced on its usual high rack and in the act of playing with it shot took place. The mother and father Mr. and Mrs. George Hicks were so | completely overcome with grief that neither were able to attend the fun eral service which was held yester day afternoon at 1 o’clock at Brush Creek church, the service being con ducted by Rev. Mr. Weaver, pastor and Rev. Jonas Barclay of Pittsboro. A big birthday celebration success fully planned and executed by neigh bors and relatives was staged at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Daffron on Pittsboro route 2 last Saturday' honoring the 72nd anniversary of paffron. A long table in The yard was required to hold the very boot and most tempting of viands, a beautifully browned turkey which graced the center of the table sug gesting the near approach of the Christmas season. Notably also, was a large birthday cake artistically iced and bearing the necessary cradles.

Coi Thursday afternoon one of these demonstrations was held on the farm of Mr. W. A. Copeland. Thursday morning the orchard of Mr. P. H. lElkitfg on Hickory Mountain was in spected and primed. Thursday af ternoon demonstilfcions were held at the homes of Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Terry and Prof. P. H. Nance. The total attendance at these demonstrations was 53. According to Mr. Morrow and Mr. ; Fant, the prospects for fruit produc tion in thia, county are excellent. Ore of the principal reasons for this is the natural air drainage that was found in most places inspected. The county agent hopes to start out this .year with six home orchards as a pro ject. Six good orchards in different parts of the county, well cared for, pruned, sprayed and fertilized each year ydll go a long way towards se curing more and better fruit for home use. Some of the things rec ommended by Mr. Morrow for fruit production in this county are: prun ing and spraying every year, cover 'cropping and proper fertilization. In the case of old apple trees, he rec ommends 3-4 pounds of nitrate of soda applied at the time of the swell ing of the buds in the springs. This together with spraying and the cut ting out of old, diseased apple limbs and twigs should go a long ways to wards more and better fruit produc tion. Two terracing demonstrations were .held during the earlier part of the week at the farms of Mr. E. M. Fer rell and Mr. T. R. Lambeth. Terrac ing demonstrations for the week of Dec. 6, will be held according to the following schedule: Monday, Mr. Zeb. Dark, Tuesday. Mr. T. M. Clark, Wed nesday, Mr. W. V. Cheek, Thursday, Iv l r - it fe-Mawt. -• OraersTor Pyrotol now total around FOOO pounds. In a recent letter from Mr. E. A. McMahan, agent for Lee county, he advises that he is willing to pool his orders with those of this j county in order to make up the car j load. The agent hopes to visit all of those who have expressed their de sire for this explosive, and get *their orders in by the first of next week. N. C. SHIVER, County AgeqJ.

Mrs. N. T. Overby and little Miss Jewell Lane have been visiting rela tives of Raleigh. Wtfbur Dickens, an employee of the Cherokee Brick Co., had the mis fortune of crushing his left foot while at work this morning. The Sunday school here has de cided definitely to have a Christmas tree this year. The Christmas pro gram will be in the hands of the Misses Seawell, the teacher of the school, but the tree and presents will be furnished by the Sunday school. A special collection will be taken next Sunday. The Junior Christian Endeavors have answered the call of the Prison Library and contributed money for the purchase of a book. This money we feel was well spent. The great crime wave that seems to be sweep ing over the country is not confined to the ignorant classes, as some of us are prone to think. But to those who are capable of reading and thinking and who should have access to books ■and periodicals while in prison. ‘"Man’s misfortunes are God’s oppor tunities,” and we should be glad to do what we can to make life more pleas ant for the unfortunate inmates of our prisons. As the Christmas season draws near we hear and read a great deal of the rush and worry of preparing gifts and remembrances for our friends and loved ones at Christmas time. There is nothing sweeter or more satisfying than such works— but if one gives gifts and sends cards from a sense of duty or because be oe she is expected to give them or send them, then indeed, is the beauti ful spirit that characterized the first Christmas years ago lost, and it be comes a season of unrest and unhap piness. It seems that it would be well for all of ua to read again, at this' time every year, that beautiful story by Lowell, “The Vision of Sir Launfal,” too, the article in the A merican Magazine for December by Edgar A. Guest gives one a sane and i happy feeling about how to spend » Christmas. Would that all of us at this season, could experience the feel ing of peace and good will and hap piness that should prevail every where at Christmas time. MT. ZION NEWS Rev. C. M.
