TOWN & COUNTY BRIEFS
The editor was delighted to have
q , all Christmas even from Messrs T.
\ Council, W. IX Beckwith, and L.
V j'oe, of New Hope township.
The government estimate ol the
tton crop in Chatham made De
iber -0 is 7,156 bales, as opposed
! V'the estimate last year same date
,Vt 8,673 bales. Union and Cleveland
, , the two counties in the- state
! ( , t t made considerably more cotton
n in 1927. Mexican big boll is
rown considerably in those counties
\vhich may account for the smaller
i by boll weevil, and which has
added a cent to three cents a pound
premium on the price of the staple.
V hint to the wise is sufficient.
Deputy R. G. Perry and other
deputies, captured Eddie Alston, col
or d, last week, just when he was
ready to make several runs of booze.
\ copper still, complete, and sever
al stands of beer were seized. Al
gton made bond. It is rather
strange that a negro can make bond
f 0 the sum demanded in this case.
Another negro was present at the
still but escaped.
Messrs. R. G. and G. C. Perry
carried about 1500 pounds of tur
key of their own production to Ra
legh last week, which brought a
clear check for $540. Some of the
g 0; b lers weighed as high as 22
pounds. There were about 120
birds. These gentlemen consider
turkey raising- more profitable than
raiding cotton.
Mr. W. W. Booker, who recently
bought a part of the old home place
of Mrs. Booker, formerly Miss Ward
Eubanks, is now located on it with
his family. Mr. Booker came from
Burlington, but is a native of Or
ange county. Mr. and Mrs. George
Hogan, the former a son of Mrs.
Booker, are with the Bookers for the
time being. Mr. Hogan is suffering
with rheumatism. Mr. and - Mrs.
Homer Frazier, ; of Charlotte, a
daughter of Mrs. Booker also visited
the Booker home this week.
There are some good folk in Chat
ham county, whose response to our
statements have been exceedingly
appreciated. Several, among them
R. B. Clark, H. S. Parrish, S. J.
Fields. Mrs. J. ; W. Mclntyre, appre
ciating the difficulties we have had
making it this year after being
burned out, sent in $3 checks, pay
ing for two years.
Mr. Frank Bouldin is reported to
have killed a 500-pound porker last
week.
Messrs. F. M. and W. A. Griffin
spent Christmas with their mother,
Mrs. J. T. Griffin at Durham. Mrs.
F. M. Griffin would have also gone
but was not quite well. Mrs. J. T.
Griffin, who" was formerly Miss Ly
dia Thomas, is one of the readers of
the first copy of The Record nigh
onto fifty years ago.
Mr. J. K. Cryssman, who has built
him a new home in West Pittsboro
after two years in Edgecomb coun
ty, moved in December 21. just two
years to the day since he left the
county. He expects to make some
more of that high class tobacco he
used to grow on his place four miles
from Pittsboro.
The Chrysler car stolen from Mr.
Van B. Elkins some weeks ago was
found down in Montgomery county
somewhat the worse for its usage,
but as the insurance company paid
for the damage Mr. Elkins conies out
whole.
It seems that the item about Mr.
I. M. Gilmore’s two big hogs failed
to get in the former issues; so here
goes again; Mr. Gilmore reports the
two netting about 1150 pounds,
which were some hogs.
A lot of the fellow's are renewing,
but there are some folk we expected
to hear from before now. Come right
along and you will be in time to help
us even up for the year.

Johnson and Camilla Powell, Pitts

Pittsboro has had an interesting
visitor the past few days in the per
son of Miss Kimoko Yamanshiki, a
young Japanese lady student at
Louisburg College, who is the guest
<jf her school mate, Miss Frances
Johnson. The young lady has been
at Louisburg College for two ses<-
sions, and is able to speak and write
English fairly well. But some words
are a puzzle to her when first heard
one of their various meanings,
ror instance, she might, perhaps,
have understood “lap” in the sense
in which a cat laps its milk, but when
asked as to how the two young la
a]es managed to ride in a crowded
car ’ if she sat in Frances’ lap, she
) vas puzzled, and repeated “1-a-p,
-a-p;” then “I don’t know . about
a P, hut I sat on her legs part of the
:! me and she on mine part of the
time.”
