Chatham is evidently better off
than some counties that have not

The wrong date has been adver

the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
The auditor’s report of county
finances in this issue of the Record
should interest every reader. Read
it carefully. j
If you get a sample copy of the
Chatham Record it is an invitation
to subscribe. Don’t you think, really,
that it is a rather poor stick of a
citizen who does not take his county
oaper? He would seem to have no
interest in keeping up with county
affairs or is too stingy to pay three 1
cents a week for the only means of,
doing it. But the most of such j
fellows have simply not been asked .
to subscribe and really do not know j
what they are missing. i 1
Foxes have killed many chickens

Mrs. Jack White is reported to have j

turkeys, and Mr. Bob Harris quite j
a number. Some hunters have turned ,
their attention in that direction, but i

as her guest one day Miss Louise
Long of Burlington.
Charlie Moore reported that he
was leaving for Norfolk for a few
days fishing trip and then added that
he might have an operation for ap

operation.
Miss Mary Griffin of Pittsboro

Messrs. J. W. Moore, Ed. Johnson,

of the meeting was the dedication
of the handsome N. C. building at
the National Junior Orphanage at
Lexington.
A letter from out good friend Mr.
H. L. Coble of Pleasant Garden is
just received and we are hoping that
it will get in this issue of the paper,
though it will be a rub. Mr. Coble
lived here a number of years and
his visits, as a drummer, are more
than business trips.
Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Mann, of;
Pittsboro route 1, had as guests
Sunday Mrs. Robin Lloyd and child
ren of Greensboro, Mr. Bob Russell
and family of Graham, Mr. Luther
White and family, also Mrs. Carey
Webster and children, and Mr. Ga

addition, they had the pleasure of a
visit the same day from their daugh
ter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. D. B.
Andrews, of Greensboro, and their
son and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose
Mann, of Burlington, and their
children. Asked as to how she fed
the bunch, Mrs. Mann said she fed
them on chicken and beans, sliced
potato pie, etc. Good enough.
Old Memories and
Friendship® Revived
—e —
Mr. Editor:
Last Friday night, wife and I de
cided we wanted to go to Pittsboro
and Hanks Chapel church Sunday
and visit some of our old friends and
the church and cemetery. This, I
may say, was my wife's and her
mother’s and father’s place of wor
ship. We carried some flowers and
placed them on their graves in loving
remembrance of their devotion to
their church and their children and
the community at large.
Our son, R. W. Coble, and his
family of Greensboro went with us.
It was a pleasant trip and we were
very much surprised to see such arr
elegant church house in the place of
the old church. Nearly all the old
members of the church have passed
to their reward. Uncle William
Bland and Aunt Frankie, William
Petty, Uncle Jim Farrell, Uncle Jack
Hatch and Betsy Hatch, William
Hatch, and many others we do not
recall at this time. For seventeen
years we lived in the town of Pitts
boro, and I may say that some of
my happiest days were spent in that
town. Some of the best citizens of
the county and state lived there.
We left old Pittsboro on the 15th
day of April, 1913, but some of the
ties of friendship have never been
broken.
We love the memory of W. L.
London, S. M. Holt, A. G. Headen,
M. T. Williams, W. O. Farrell, T. M.
Bland, M. T. Griffin, . Dr. H. F.
Chopin, Mrs. Laura Horne, Mrs. W.
L. London, Mrs. A. G. Headen and
many other grand and noble men
and women who lived in the town
when we were citizens.
After spending an hour or more
at the church and cemetery we turn
ed our car back toward Pittsboro.
We stopped at the Chatham county
home and spent a short while with
that efficient superintendent, Mr.
Johnson and his good wife. Resting
there for a short while we journeyed
back to the old town, stopping to
see Mrs. W. O. Farrell, who lives
with her son, Atlas. And I want to
tell you when I get hungry I am
going to stop again for Mrs. Farrell
knows how to entertain your appe
tite. After leaving this good home
we stopped to see E. A. Farrel and
wife, whose popularity is well known
to their many friends in Pittsboro.
The next stop was with our friend,
W. ,M. Eqbanks and his*goo<L wife.
They both, like ourselves, are left
alone. The children are all married
and gone to their homes.
Before we could'leave town, we
called on the proprietress of the
Exline Hotel. Mrs. Norwood has per
haps had more guests than any Per
son in Pittsboro. She knows how
to entertain you good and she gives
you the “goods” that satisfy. We
shall'be in town again soon and hope ,
to see you, Mr. Peterson. Don t fan
to seiid us the Record. The children
want t© sea every . •

The Girl Scouts from Moncure re
turned from their outing at Lake
view and reported that they had a
great time under the efficient direc

tion of their social activities as well
as her economy of management of
the Girl Scouts’ finances.

The Epworth League met as usual
last Sunday evening with a large
crowd present. Miss Camelia Sted
man, president, presided over the
meeting. She explained to the large
crowd why the Sanford orchestra
who we were expecting could not be
present, a death of a relative of one
of the members of the orchestra was
why they were not present. We
hope that sometime soon the orches
tra can be at the league service. Next
was the minutes of the last meeting
read by the secretary, Mr. Lewis
Burns. After the devotional was
conducted by Miss Lois Wilkie, the
president sang as a solo, “I have a
Friend,” with the choir joining in
with the chorus. Miss Lois Ray an
nounced the subject for the evening
“Where Does Christ Come in the
Commercialized Recreation That We
Patronize?” and read a piece on this
subject bringing out two points: 1.
Christ should come in where we make;
our choices. 2. Christ should come
in, in our behavior. Miss Catherine:
Thomas read a piece on “Standards,
of Choice,” bringing out Jesus’
standards in health, in mind, in
morals and in religion, and they
should be our guide in making our'
choices. And last, Mr. Charles!
Strickland read a pice on “Listening!
to the Coach,” bringing out that!
Jesus Christ is this Coach and is our
living, loving friend today and we
should be willing to trust Him andj
follow Him in important choices of
life. After singing the song “Be <
Like Jesus” the meeting closed with
prayer by A. B. Clegg. Miss Cath
erine Thomas will be leader for next'
Sunday evening. The leaguers ap
preciate the large congregations at l
each league service. The public is
welcome at each service.
