'We are especially anxious that all during the year the friends and pat rons of the school will not only visit the school at dhe chapel periods but will visit the classrooms and see the school in its work under normal con ditions. We realize the criticises of the school and of teachers in the com munity are often times caused be cause those fnaking the criticism are unfamiliar with the routine of school life and conditions under which the teachers and students are working. Therefore, we feel that we shall se cure finer cooperation of the whole community if everyone wil trv to fa miliarize themselves with school af fairs through personal contact.

POSTAGE STAMPS* ir_ MAKE HISTORY If you really want to see a colorful patterns of American history without wandering through historical muse ums, gather together all the postage stamps issued by the Post Office De partment in cominemmoration of out standing national events. From the landing of Columbus to the Lindbergh flight, these stamps tell in chronologi cal order Qur development from an unexplored tract of land to our mod ern industrial civilization*. It is im ossible to the variety and rang of historical subjects to whose importance the Post Office De partment has paid tribute. They in clude such events as the Louisiana Purchase, the founding of Jamestown, the Revolution, the discovery and nav igation of the Hudson River, the opening of the Panama Canal, and the close of the W^rjd War. The fig ures of Pere Marquette, Molly Pitch 21*, Robert Livingston, George Rogers Clark, Thomas Kdison and * Colonel Lindbergh are among those in the pictorial arra>. .

The strenous times now prevalent were reflected in the business of Re-: corder’s Court this week. Practically the entire time of the court was con sumed in hearing and writing orders compelling improvident husbands and fathers to feed and clothe their wives and offspring. J & • Pete Goins was first to face the court on a charge of abandonment of his wife and child. Pete’s wife, while the prosecuting witness, reluctantly testiff&d to Pete’s waywardness. Her testimony developed the fact that Pete* was her second husband and failed to “get along” with her 9 children by a former husband. He evidently gain ed the sympathy of the court, for Solicitor Hoyle agreed to nol pros, the wife’s charge, and the Court al lowed Pete to pay the costs and go back to his big “ready made” family and try again to get along with it, meanwhile rustling up some bacon. Bill Harris, colored, faced the Court on a charge similiar to that against Goins. Lawyer Quick moved the court to dismiss the charge against Harris pleading former jeopardy and adjudi cation, and produced a judgement of a local Justice of the Peace in sup port of his contention. Solicitor Hoyle opposed the motion, declaring the judgment of the J. P. a nullity. Judge McPherson held that the J. P. was without jurisdiction to try the case and dismissed the motion, and set down the case for trial next Tuesday. The case of Otis Moffitt for failure to* comply with a former order of court to pay bis wife and children $12.50 per week was heard, and Mof fitt was placed under $1000 bond and : the amount reduced to $10 per week. | Walter Southerland, colored, was tried for the theft of a bicycle from Reverend Mr. Weaver’s porch last January. While the evidence was meagre against him, nevertheless the court found him guilty, but continued prayer for judgment until next Tues day in order that officers may appre hend another colored boy implicated in the theft. CHILDREN injured when PIANO FALLS ON THEM On Monday afternoon of last week, the three children of Mrs. Alex Mc Pherson, of Cameron, Mary Doris, 8; hugh, 11, and Jim, 4, were “play ing in their home, which is being re modeled. Their mother was at her cafe. In their play they attempted | to move the piano and in some way it i fell over, Pinning Mary, Doris and , Hugh beneath it. Jim gave the alarm anfll Miss Margaret Thomas and Will McLauchlin reached them quickly and soon extricated them. Dr. Avery called and found Mary Doris had broken the small bone in her leg. She was carried to the Central Carolina Hospital at Sanford. | Hugh only received a tew bruises, but was badly shaken up. MR.

COGGINS COMMITS SUICIDE Mrs. Emma E. Coggis, aged 60, committed suicide by shooting hersdf in the heart at her home in Greens boro, Sunday morning, about 10:2r» o'clock, with a .32 calibre pistol. It seems that her healt had not been good in some time and it is thought that her mind had become unbalanced. Her husband died about a year ago. She is survived by several children. The funeral was held from the First Baptist church in Greensboro Monday afternoon, of which she was a mem ber, and the remains hrought. down to Bear. Creek, where she was born and reared, for interment. Her hus band was related to the Coggin<’ fain ilies near Tramway, in this county. CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our deepest gratitude and sincerest thanks for tho, many kindnesses shown our husband and father and ourselves during his last illness.

MiUsapps Makes a Good Talk on Stock Raising. The Kiwanis Club has decided to hold meetings with the farmers m the surrounding country during the fall season. The first of these meet ings was held at Worthy’s fish Pond last Friday evening and was attended by most of the members of the club. A large number of farmers in that section were invited guests of the club. They entered heartily into the spirit of the program and enjoyed the occasion as much as any of those present. It was one of the most suc cessful meetings of the club which has been attended by the farmers, and it is hoped that the other three that are to be held soon will be equal ly as successful. The dinner was pre pared and served by the “Dignus Community Club” which is composed of farmers’ wives and other women in that section. This club was organiz ed along with other similiar clubs in the county by Miss Simpson, the Home Demonstration Agent. All who were so fortunate as to partake of that feast can testify to the fact that mem bers of that club have mastered the art of cooking and are capable of pre paring a meal that would be fit lor a king. The dinner was served by the following ladies on an improvised table in the shade of the trees near the lake: Mcsdames J. N. Martin, R. R. Knight, H. B. Builis, H. B. Bow man, Stephen Seymour, R. L. Lam beth, L. A. Mclver, J. W. Jackson, R. L. Tyson, J. H. Worthy, Byrd Jackson, Dora Flenenkin. There was food enough on that table for tw.ce that number of people. Rev. Frank C. Hawkins, a guest of the club,, said grace before the ladies began to serve. Music for the occasion was made on the violin and guitar by Messrs. J L. Bowman and T. R. Rosser. From the swing they put on that music one would think they have been playing for dances. Even those old - gntfied church officers could hardly 1 p their feet still. Before the tinner was sercd lar mers, banker^ and professic.-al men joined in a program which included a game of throwing horse saioe&, tug of war, loot races thr£e-iegged rfecfcs, Mrs Guy Cox entered into the games with as much enthusiasm as he sc .vater melons and cabbage on the . ?ts- of Sanford. Ralph Kennedy the loot race; H. M. Wagoner, . 1 race Jim Worthy, third race; e Jack son, fourth race. First ti gg«-d race was won by Cary Kni^ .id H. M. Wagner; second race, C. Jack son and Duncan Cox. At the conclusion of the athletic games .all sat on the grass to listen 1.0 speeches by Mr. E. S. Millsapps, farm demonstration agent- of Ran dolph county, and Mr, D. B. Teague, secretary of the Kiwanis Club. l'he program was in charge of Kiwanian j. M. Clark, chairman of the agricul tural committee. President Canter, in opening the meeting stated that this was me first of a numbei ox meeings that would be held with the farmers in various sections of the county. In a few appropriate woi is Mr. S. B. Worthy welcomed the cfub^ to his farm and invited the members to come again. Kiwanian E. Frank Andrews *made a short talk and told of having secured Mr. Millsapps to ad dress the meeting. In his prelimin ary remarks Mr. Millsapps told of the relationship that should exist between the farmers and business peopie oi tne town. He said that it was to their interest to work together in harmony, as they could not make a success in life without cooperation. The most of his talk was devoted to live stock raising. He asked the farmers who had no cows to hold up their hand. Not a hand went up. vY nan lie asked the farmers who had as many as five cows to hold up their nands, one hand was raised. He was giad to find that the farmers who attended the meeting had at least one COW. oam :vn. lmusapp^. raiuiaa will never get anywhere by raising cotton and tobacco to buy their home supplies that should be raised on their own farms.” I have not, ' asid he, •seen in live years a bath of hay brought to Randolph county.” He ap pealed to the farmers to raise more t>cocK, sell butter tat and raise more poultry and hogs. He emphasized the importance of raising pure bred cows. His talk will be worm a great deal to Lee county if the farmers will only carry out the suggestions made by him. Kiwaniun D. B. Teague made an in teresting talk on the principles of Ki wunis and told what the Sanford club is trying to do for t{ie betterment of the town and community. Three cheers *\vere given with a will to the ladies for tne splendid din ner they served. The next meeting of the club will be held at the Carolina Hotel Friday ev ening at 6:30. Every member is urg ed to attend as they may miss some thing worth while by staying away. The following paragraph is quoted from Secretary Teague’s-letter: “THE YOUNG COLTS: Anyone who tninks these Kiwanians are ge-t ting old should have been out at the picnic last Friday evenipg and seen us running* foot races, pulling at the tug of war, pitching horseshoes, eat ing fried chicken, apple pie and the many other delicious things, and he would have changed his mind with a vengeance. There was nothing obi Dr decrepit about that hunch. Every man ate like a raging youngster with r hollow square interior. I feel twenty years younger, declared one Kiwanian, and one of the fajmers re marked that he had been up two nights curing tobacco and came over tired and sleepy, but felt five years younger. It was nearly an ideal out ing between the town boys, nearly all oi whom wore bv.u on-d reared on the oaiiii, -ijiu iue ..,ea ai*u v.omeii WHO nave remained on uie iarm. r wem,y-uiree or our metnoers and lour guesvs were waitnea dv at/out cit> larm.is.'' MR. RI SSELL RETIRES iROM 1HE KlElCLAliUbr, tJUSliiiiSS E/l:HEitoi\ S JtllLdj SAlEKUAIf I'll'. W. 8. Kusseii, one of the old est merchants in point of service m tne 8 Late, nas soid out . his stock of * goods at ouii aim retired rrom ousi i.ess. file stocK was purchased by JNeison & Addier, of riyraoutJi, and a sale put on at dull. Part or the stock which was not disposed of was - shipped to Plymouth where it will be sold. Mr. Russell, who served in the Con federate army during the civil war, and like thousands of others return ed home with little of this world’s goods tears, he moved his stock of goods to Gull, where he has been in business little more than half a century, to be exact 51 years. All told he has en gaged in the mercantile business more than 60 years, covering almost two generations. Many changes have been made in the method of handling the mercantile business since he sold the first article of goods over the counter.. It was years after he set up business at Gulf when he heard the first locomotive whistle blow in that town. Mr. Russell has always en joyed the confidence of those with whom he came in contact by his strict honesty in business. No man can truthfully say that Mr. Russell ever took undue advantage of him in a business deal. When he fixed his price on an article of goods it was sold at that price or it remained on the shelf. He treated all alike. Mr. Russell is now ii* the 92nd year of his age, hav ing celebrated his 91st birthday last spring. He is well preserved for a man of his age and his host of friends throughout this section hope that he will round out the century and then some. He has for many years been a member of the Presbyterian church. His loyalty to his church and his God has given him strength and prolong ed his life to an unusually ripe age.
