Prospect Bright For Weed Grower Vnnual Outlook Report On | Tobacco Gives Favorable j Prospect For Tobacco j Growers Of 1939 A rather favorable outlook for obacco growers for the 1939 seaion is indicated by the Bureau of Vgricultural Economics, U. S. De>artment of Agriculture, in its innual outlook report on tobacco. Inly for growers in the Burley ind Maryland belts does the pros)ects appear materially less right than at this time last rear. Tobacco production in 1938 and respective stocks in 1939 are airly well in line with anticipated disappearance for the 1938-39 eason. The total domestic use of obacco during the next year or nore is expected to expand moderitely, although increases may be confined to cigarette and cigar :ypes. Exports from the 1938 :rop are expected to be somevhat below those from last year's :rops. Total stocks of all tobaccos probably will show some increase by the beginning of next season iue mainly to a substantial increase in the carry-over of Burey. Slight increases appear probable for flue-cured, dark aircured, and Maryland types, while stocks of fire-cured and cigar types are expected to decline.

Week's Work Netted Pretty Good Wages Johnnie Varnum and two companions l.jhing on Lockwoods Folly river last week made good catches of mullets and spots.

Duck Hunt Tur Be A Rac During those cold early mornings of last week the still waters in creeks and e -eltered coves about here fillea .vifh ducks. Clarence Spencer and Clarence Osborne went out two mornings and on both occassions they lacked just one duck of getting the full legal limit. The duck hunting was great. The second morning they were out bright and early. The first mentioned Clarence had a nice little string of ducks. Looking across a Bay, he saw gobs and gob? of the birds swimming around at a spot entirely, out of range. It was necessary to go around through some thick woods to reach them. Clarence accordingly essayed a sneak through the woods. He was carrying his ducks in one hand and his shot gun in the other. HE News paper In Southport, N.

He was not excited until he said he saw the stump move. Then he knew that his first impression was wrong. The blackened stump was in reality a black bear, standing on his hind legs in surprise at the intrusion. Realizing what was what, Clarence dropped his ducks "and used both hands to raise his trusty musket. He fired both barrels at once and afterwards admitted that he did not wait to see if he hit the bear. The first that Osbourne knew of the matter was when he saw Clarence going in one direction and ttie | bear in another. P0R1 i A Good Comi idnesday, December 7, Ne ? * ?

Ke had been critically ill for several days with pneumonia, and though news of his leath was not unexpected it left (lis friends stunned with grief. Mr. L.ennon, who was 56 years 3f age, was a prosperous farmer and an active man in public afiairs of his county. In 1926 he was elected a member of the board of county commissioners and was a member of that body when money was appropriated for the erection of four of the five consolidated schools of the county. Later he served as a member of the local school board at Southport and as a member of the 11 board of trustees of the Bruns-1 j wick County Hospital. For several years he has served as chairman of the county! committee in the tobacco program that has been in effect, giving J generously of his time and effort to a program that affected farmers of his entire community.

Kannapolis folks were great on fi3hing at Southport and on week-ends and holidays they were her? in great numbers. One cool morning there was 30 or 40 Kannapolis folks here to spend two days fishing. Many of these visitors were already well known to Keziah. All were friendly and there was the usual banter about how they looked pretty well for country boys. Among the visitors who were not so well known there appeared a well set-up young fellow wearing a heavy sweater emblazoned with a black D that stamped him a Duke letterman in athletics.

'itt Might f It Had Rained one of the old acquaintances, promptly came to the rescue by saying: "This is Eric Tipton, you know he is on the Duke football squad." The Southport man did not know it, but he was pleased to hear it. Admitting his ignorance of football at the time being he found himself possessed or a liking for the husky young fellow, who was very cordial of his own accord. Until Tipton literally kicked his way into the hall of football fame in the memorable Duke-Pitt encounter last week it seems that not a single one oi his many local admirers was aware he was here in the summer on a fishing trip. Now one of his strongest admirers as a football player, Keziah maintains that Tipton is no good as a fisherman. Not in rough weather. He came in from one of those trips so ill with seasickness that he looked like a ghost.
