The stinging shame upon the

Randolph, the blight that has
set her ten years behind her sis

stain that no human hand can

years of age are driven from
the borders of the county in or

man desires, . and " employment
necessary to sustain livelihood.
For fifteen years has the high
hand- of. tyranny held forth and
any man who Would dare to raise
his hand, in the name of justice

Where are our boys? Where
are the native young men! We

We would not . of course argue
that we could hold all of them,
but reference to Guilford county

succeed? Such question is al
most foolish. We point with
pride to many successful busi

Success of German Arms
Against Rusian Forces Great
Achievement.
After a long battle fought
with the greatest stubborness
the Germans have succeeded in
occupying Lodz, Poland, an un
fortified city. According to 4he
Berlin report the Russians suf
fered' severe losses and are in
retreat.
This success of. the Germans,
largely because ef what preced
ed it, is considered a remarka
ble achievement. Less than a
fortnight ago the army to which
this victory has fallen, was sur
rounded by Russians and cut its
way ouf onlyat the last moment,

Allen J. Monroe of the Bethel

All the farmers in this sec

wheat except J. C. Coble, who
finished last week.
Mr. Roscoe Davis the efficient
and obliging miller at the Kemp
Mill is delivering the goods in
the form of fine flour.
It will be a source of great
pleasure to the many friends of
"Aunt Phoebe Barker" to know
that she is improving slowly and
is jovial as usual.
The farmers are enjoying
good prices for their products
Wheat $1.25, corn $1.00, pork
$11.00 per hundred and butter
and eggs scarce and roosting
high.
The people are very much en

southeast from Asheboro via
Bethel, W. W. Brown and Mt.
