the undersigned will offer for sale
at public auction to the highest
bidder, for cash, on Monday, April
24th, .1939, at 11 o’clock a. m., in
front of the courthouse door, in
Wilkesboro, North Carolina, the
following described property, to-
wit:
First Tract: Lying and being
on the waters of Wh’te|s Creek,
beginning at a white oak in Benja
min Brahan’s old line running
south' with bis line 108 poles;
thence east 90 poles to a chestnut;
thence south 20 poles to a Spanish

north 80 poles to a pine; thence
west 100 poles to a stake; thence

thence west 90 poles to the begin

or less.
Second Tract: Adjoining t h e
lands of J. A. Laws and John E.
McNeill and others and bounded
as follows: Lying on the waters
of White’s Creek and known as
a part of the Hubbard tract, be
ginning on a Spanish oak in J. A.
Law's line running west 13 polos
to a slake in McNeill’s line: thence
north with said line 42 poles to a
stake in Barlow’s I'ne; thence
wvst with said line 13 poles to a

boiight their troRSMiga Ungfrie 'bty
the dosens doaeha of petileoats
ef different lengths and dozens of
other tiling^ that were consideied
very necessary fifty yea« ago.'
llie roomy old bureaus ami
cheSti^.of drawers bear mute tes;-:
timeny to the vast amount of
storage spacq needed for miiKdy’B
wardrobe and enormous clothes-
shoots built in the houses of the'
period prove that bulky garments
made the family wash something
to reckon 'with every Monday
morning. *
Today, fine lingerie is washed
out immediately after each wear
ing. Brides prefer to have only
the sets needed for their various
activities — sport, daytime and
evening wear.
There are several good reasons
for this simplified wardrobe be
sides the saving in expense.
Clothing worn m^xt to the skin
is easier to wash immediately aft
er wearing than after several days
have elapsed. More than this, it
takes considerably more effort to
wash a week’s supply than a set
at a time.
Another I'eason for immediate
laundering is the fact that it aids
immeasurably to the life of stock
ings and dainty underwear. Silks,
rayons, woolens and combinations
of these fabrics are known to last
much longeri if dirt and perspira-
t’on are removed before they have
a chance to "set” in the material.
• • *
Although you may delight in
soft, subdued lights rather thah
bright ones, don’t pay for current
you aren’t using by leaving a film
of dust on the electric light bulbs.
You’ll really have’ considerably
more light by keeping the bulbs
and reflecting surfaces spic-and-
span.
Surveys and statistics show
that a clean bulb g'ves from 25
to 40 per cent more illumination
than a dirty one. In other words
a 75 watt lamp if kept perfectly
clean is practically the equivalent
of a dusty 100 watt lamp. Soap
and water will keep your blubs
immaculate. Remove bulb.s from
sockets, wash with warm soapy
water and wipe dry with a clean
soft cloth.

Changes of all kinds that the
gardener is contemplating where
the moving of plants, sod, hedges
and perennials is involved, must
be made just as soon as the frost
is out of the ground. This aism
applies to garden walks, which if
changed or repaired in the early
spring, settle by summer.
