SEASON'S FIRST
FROST LAST WEEK
The first light frost of the
year occurred in this section
Friday morning, October 30.
Last year the first touch of
frost came on October 6, extremely
early in view of the
fact that the average frost appearance
for this region is November
8.
A rainy period the first
half of October piled up a record
of 10.21 inches of rainfall
for the 31 day period.
This is an interesting contrast
to the record for October,
1935, when only .17 inches
of rain fell in this section.
During the 31-day period
.just past" there were 17 clear
days, 6 cloudy days and 8
partly cloudy days. Prevailing
wind was easterly; the
maximum temperature of 85
degrees was recorded on October
23; the minimum reading
of 52 degress occurred on
October 31.

JAMES ROOSEVELT'S
YACHT VISITS frERE
The Half-Moon, yacht owned
by James Roosevelt, son of F
the president of the United
States, came into the Southport
harbor Tuesday afternoon (3
on her way to Florida, where ,
she will spend tlio winter months.
Her owner was not
aboard.
The captain of the yacht
came ashore and visited the
Brunswick county courthouse,
where the election returns
were being received. He ap- y,
peared delighted that Presi- ^
dent Roosevelt was being
swept back into office on a '
landslide, fie said that he was -v
with the President for a few tl'
days last summer and that sp
"he is a cine fellow."
The visit; here of the cap- m
tain of the vessel occasioned w
some excitement, as it was a
quickly whispered around that UI
James Roosevelt was in South- hl
port. This rumor was quickly
branded as false.

Shrimp To Come Together
In Great Numbers
There is no accounting for the
range habits of the shrimp.
After waiting ail season for
e heavy season to begin, local
irimpers were convinced Saturly
that the big rush had finalgotten
underway. Catches on
of rlnxr \irnrr? thf* host of thG

There was further encourageent
Sunday when a local boat
ith a fishing party aboard made
half-hour haul outside to sec e
bait and came up with seven
ishels.
Southport shrimpers got out
.rly Monday morning, ready for
ie kill. Most of them were satfied
with their days' work, as
eir catches were close to those
Saturday. The boats ran from
I to 60 bushels, which sold for
.50 per bushel.
Back at it again early Tuesday
orning, the shrimpers were
unned to discover that the
irimp apparently had completedisappeared.
At any rate all
ie boats were back at the docks
;fore noon, and none of their
itches for the morning had
nounted to more than a few
lunds of shrimp.
