Hayes has gone to ?oen d the period extending over Christmas with her brother at Cana. Vear by are Joppa, Mt. Zion, and 'even Jerusalem. This Cana, however, is n ot the place where water was turned into wine, but the one in the midst of the country where corn is turned into moonshine. A s’ight operation upon the edi 4.or\ lip has made him feel unlike himself the last few days and also look unlike himself —and the worst 0 f it is, the looks haven’t improved. The body of Garland Baldwin, of the several negroes who died as a result of drinking poison alcohol in Greensboro, was brought to his old home and buried at Hamlet’s Chapel last week. Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Johnson of Laurinburg spent a few days last week in the home of the former’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. John son of the Antioch community. Mr. Clifton C. Durham, of route 2. has returned after a business trip of ten days to Danville, Leaks ville, and Greensboro. Mr. Grover Durham is home af ter a six weeks stay at the state ■ hospital, Raleigh. He is said to be I greatly improved. You may not think it makes any difference * whether you pay your subscription this week or next. But it does. The sooner you pay, the easier it is for us to meet expenses | and the more encouragement to try to make the full-size paper. We have to cut the garments according to the cloth in sight. You couldn’t give a better Christ mas present to a friend or relative who was raised in Chatham county than a year’s subscription to the Chatham Record. Such one, wher ever he lives, will enjoy the paper, and will remember you pleasantly on its receipt each week. Try it. Mr. L. C. Ellis of Fort Baynard Hospital, New Mexico, in his letter, a part of which appears on another page, calls for the name of the nublisher of Dr. Geo. W. Paschal’s History of North Carolina Baptists. 1 The North Carolina State Conven ; tion, we believe, is responsible for! the publication. Edwards and j Broughton, Raleigh, are the printers, i But the book can be got from the ' Baptist Book Store, Raleigh, N. C. The first volume has alreadv made its appearance, and Mr. Ellis can probably get a copy without delay. We haven’t seen the volume, but know from reading part of the proofs that it is a valuable book. Mr. F. R. Thomas of Los An gles, Cal., and sister Mrs. C. W. Brandt of Salisbury were visitors Sunday at the home of Mrs. Lanius. They also visited their brother Mr. D. B. Thomas of Durham, who mar ried Miss Nannie Lanius. We were not so much surprised to see the good homes of some of our white friends the fork of the Deep and the Rocky, but it was surprising to see what a good home and farm our good colored friend P. L. Lee has. It is a real farm and he is a real farmer. |Toys- -Toys- -Toys f g - AT I 1 SILER CITY HARDWARE 1 1 COMPANY’S STORES | | SILER CITY and PITTSBORO $8 I ||Come and see the Richware Flyer Wagons ® | —all-steel coasters, roller-bearing, 15"x33 f '|t llbeds.

Miss Alma Dailey has returned to her studies at Duke after being at home ill for two weeks. Mr. Abner Harrington, who mar ried Miss Sarah Myers Hughes of Pittsboro, sixty years ago, died in Fayettsville the night of November 30th at the age of eighty-three. Mr. Harrington was for many years en gaged in the cotton mill business and was one of the most prominent and useful citizens of Cumberland coun | ty. He was a native of Moore | county. Manuel Lutterloh, colored, the young man who worked for several years 1 at Mr. L. N. Womible’s store, died Sunday of tuberculosis and was buried Monday. Manuel was a good fellow, and the Record regrets to.learn of his death. ~ __ Mr. a,nd Mrs. W r P, Horton and Mr. June Peoples and Miss Pauline Taylor were present at the mar riage of Dr. Mcßane and Miss Col trane at Trinity. Mrs. John D. White is at Watts Hospital for an operation. Dan White went up to the gov ernment hospital at Suffolk, Va., the other day with the expectation of undergoing an operation, but came back without having done so, the surgeons, presumably, deciding that it was unnecssary at the time. Mr. Emory Thomas, who has been in charge of Sheriff Blair’s dairy, has moved to the Bynum section. - Poe and Moore have dissolved copartnership. Mr. 0. M. Poe re tains the business. Mr. Newton Moore, the retiring partner, is put ting in time at present in the col lection. of accounts for the former firm. Mr. Poe, you will notice, is running a live advertisement in this issue. Mr. N. H. Heritage of Ore Hill has butchered a hog of only 14 months old which weighed 606 pounds. He claims that the feed bill was only S2O. The pig was raised chiefly on green food, clover, 'rape, rye, etc. That is the way ;to do business, only it will not pay Ito let them get so large. A six months old pig weighing two hun dred pounds is the money-maker, and April and August the time to sell them at the highest prices. An afternoon spent with Mr. 'Jack Johnson, carrier on Moncure RFD 2, partly on his route and partly on Sanford Rt. 4, resulted in the addition of ten good names to ; our mailing list and more dollars or subscription than had come into the office the whole week before. It was the editor’s first visit to the “Fork”, the territory lying in the fork of Deep and Rocky rivers, east of the highway, and we were grati fied to see the apparent prosperity of the people. Here live the Brights and Williams. There are few pret tier in the country than that of Mrs. J. R. Bright. Mr. O. W. Williams was the most remote man visited that afternoon, and you may bet that the visit was worth while, as the jolly customer paid us a five-dollar bill on subscription, iWe haven’t met a clever people in many moons than we saw that after | noon. We should like to go all over 1 the country in the same way, and know that we should have a big subscription list and get a consider able sum of money, but only a day or an afternoon of two each week can thus be spent, if we look after the making of the paper and. doing other necessary things. So don’t wait for us to come to see you. The way the good people seen that afternoon responded is evidence that our subscribers, are loyal and appreciative, but it is out of the question to hope to visit all of them, and sending some one else does not amount to the same thing. Don’t wait for us to come—you come or send in your renewal. ■ “Yes, before our marriage I knew him like a book; his appendix is what’s bothering me now. —The Pathfinder. THE CHATHAM RECORD, PITTSBORO, N. C. Miss Bettie J. Fell’s Engagement Announced Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Fell of Trenton, N. J., have announced the engagement pf their daughter, Miss Bettie Jackson Fell to Mr. Hen ry Galt Siegrist, of Germantown, Pa. ' The bride-elect is a grand daughter of the late Mrs. Henry A. London of Pittsboro, and is a young woman of unusual culture, having won diplomas from. ' St. Mary’s Hall, Burlington, Va., St. Mary’s Raleigh, and from Colum bia v University. Mr. Siegrist is a graduate of Gettysburg Col lege, Gettysburg, Pa. ; $ * ************** ** ' ■' • *»*»*«« - * Brawn’s Chapel News * *************** ’ A goodly crowd heard Pastor Dailey Sunday. A collection of $3.20 was taken up for the Chinese child ren and forwarded to Mr. W. L. Farrell. We trust other churches of Hadley township will send in some thing for the starving children. Mr. Dailey appreciates wood given and hauled by members of Plea sant Hill church as part of the de ficit of last year, though the man who gave the wood and the one who hauled t had already paid up their own assesments. In this way it will be easy for all thechurches to com plete payment for last year’s ser vice. • ’ The last corn shucking of the sea son was at Mr. W. W. Lutterloh’s, but he had so much that it was not all shucked. Dr. R. G. McPherson of Saxapa haw while in this community last week had the good luck to kill a 16-pound turkey without moving rom his car. Mr. Jetter Hackney of Baldwin ownship says there are 4,000 acres n his community that may be leased or hunting purposes. The fact that people from the towns have become so impudent about going out to hunt is one reason land owners are willing to lease their game rights. Mr. John R. Durham of Winston spent several days with his father Mr. W. J. Durham, and was ac companied back to his home by his brother Clifton, who remained sev eral day£ Mr. W. F. Crutchfield had quite a frolic with a stray cat that had taken up at his house. So many dishes were broken that Mr. Crutch field had to go to the corckery store to get a new supply. He would be much obliged if no one else will turn loose a worthless cat near his home. If you haven’t read the editorial of last week on “Hard Times a Warning”, get the Record and read it. There has been considerable of late. Masters Curtis Mann and Page Perry have had pneumonia, but art better. Mr. Jake Smith and Mrs. J. T. Mann have been under the doctor’s care. Others have been it, but not so seriously and a’l are better. $ BYNUM HONOR HOLL On Wednesday morning, Novem ber 26, the third grade, supervised by the teacher, Miss Lucille Harris entertained the school with the following Thanksgiving program.

Hammer. The senate took this action in re , snonse to a resolution introduced by t Senator Overman. , School Expense Void Os Unusual Increase Raleigh, Nov. 25.—The annual I rate of increase in the current oper- I taing costs of the public schools is less for the last two school years for which figures are available than for any previous year during the rent issue of State School Facts, past decade, according to the cur monthly publication of the Depart ment of Public Instruction. The increase in current expense for 1928-29 amounted to $1,380,- 845.45 or 4.9 per cent, and was next to the lowest increase record of 4.0 per cent made in 1927-28. The current cost of operating the public schools in 1920-21 showed an increase cf 40.8 per cent over that of 1919-20. In 1921-22 the amount of annual increase in cur rent expense decreased to 15.3 per cent. The next year, 1922-23. there was a 11.1 per cent increase in cur- 1 rent expense, which percentage I dropped to 10.6 per cent in 1923-24. In 1924-25 there was a still fur ther decrease in the percentage in crease in current expense, this time to 10.2 per cent The following year, 1925-26, current expense in creased 8.5 per cent; and in 1927- 28 was approximately $1,000,000, or four per cent. In 1928-29 there was an increase of five per cent in current expense. The average cost of current ex penditure per pupil enrolled, ac cording to School Facts, is $32.67 for the State as a whole. This re presents an increase of $1.35 over the per pupil cost of the preced ing school year. There is a tend ency, it says, for the per pupil cost ot education to increase in both rur al and charter schools. In 1919-20, the first year of the operation of the six months school term, the average annual expenditure per rur al child enrolled was $11.62, or less than half of the present expendi ture of $28.57. The average per pu pil expenditure in charter schools, on the other hand, was‘s22.26 in 1919-20, whereas now it is $44.50. <§> Seaboard Announces New Flordia Flyer <3> H. E.

Gov. O. Max Gardner Endorses “Buy Now” “The Buy Now Movement is de signed to stimulate the public to a realization that one of the most effective ways to defeat the exist ing depression is for every person in North Carolina who has the means to come forward at once and pur chase the goods and merchandise necessary or desired for himself and family. The success of this move ment consists of two fundamental factors: “First: The public able to buy should not hesitate to purchase their requirements now. “Second: The merchants must realize the existing conditions and offer to the public bargains at a price in line with the present-day value and on the basis of the in creased purchasing power of the dollar.” O.
