(By W. F. H.) Borne folk* And time for a vacation, ^Snganauto against a train, too often results in a tie. Your city is what you will make it. Neglect it and you will never realize much in the way of a crop of real assets. You may have a fine automo bile, but it represents mighty Mttle without enough gas to run it. A ■chamber of commerce is considerable like the auto. The **£¥“*“,**» chamber of commerce is in advertising the city it represents. Deprived of a fund for advertising, its utility is cur tailed to such an extent, that nothing of ereat moment can be accomplish ed The greater advertising, the bet ter the chamber of commerce funct 50 Messrs. G. P. Fox and C. M. Staley, of Staley, were business visitors in Asheboro last Friday. I Mr. E. B. Moss, the cashier of the v :Bank of Franklinville, has recently ' * renewed his subscription to The Cou rier. Mr. Moss thoroughly under stands every feature of the banking business. At all times he can be found willing to co-operate in every way possible for the betterment and upbuilding flf his town and county, therefore we make this most deserv ing mention of him, giving praise to im to whom it is due. Mr. Raymond Allred, a prosperous oung farmer and merchant of the ir Falls section, transacted busi _in Asheboro Saturday. The curb market idea is growing. The home and farm agents have es tablished a number of them in the small towns of North Carolina and the town people find these markets a good place to secure fresh produce right from the farm without paying a profit to the middleman. Among the Randolph county people -who are growing tomatoes for the market is Mr. M. Wicker, of the Cedar Falls section, who has already sold three hundred dollars worth of toma toes from an acre of land. Mr. E. L. Reece, who holds a good position with Columbia Manufacturing Company at Ramseur, has favored us with a renewal of his subscription to The Courier. Dr. M. G. Edwards, of Asheboro, has purchased the Williams farm near King Tut. The purchase price was $4,000. Mr. S. F. Lovell, who lives near Cedar Falls, has the finest tobacco we have semi. Mr. J. C. Cox, who holds a position in Asheboro, spent Saturday and Sun day with his family in Liberty. The fellow who crossed red cedar and white pine trees, to grow barber poles, is in evidence. He is on a par with the man who Burbanked the milk weed and egg plant, to grow cus tards. 1926 is a political year and of course the Democrats are going to redeem the county. By the proper work and the getting out of every Democrats. It is only a question of the majority will be. py of The Courier scribe for the best newspaper pub lished in the State. No reason exists for Asheboro to transact her municipal affairs in the little two by four which is utilized for such purpose at present. A real city hall, two stories in height, with suit able place for the offices, fire depart ment and public on the first floor, and a real auditorium above would do for years to come. It would add to the general appearance of the city and by purchasing a lot now, consid erable money would be saved. Fifty thousand dollars would cover the cost and Asheboro have something worth while. As it is, the public is really ashamed to point out the present quarters, as the seat of municipal government. Mr. W. C. Brewer, a prominent citizen of Bennett, is numbered among our renewal subscribers to The Cou rier this week* Mr. and Mft. Frank Davis have moved from Central Falls to King Tut. Prof. R. C. Cox, who has for sev eral years been superintendent of the Mt Gilead school, has resigned and accepted a position at Guilford Col lege. Mr. Cox is a native of Randolph and had charge of the Liberty high school for several years. Mr. A. L. McPherson, one of Lib erty’s leading merchants, has favored us with a renewal of his subscription to The'Courier. Mr. E. M. Kearns, a prosperous young farmer and saw mill man of the Caraway section, is erecting an attractive bungalow on his lot in house will be good thing. It is a jewel to be fos tered and encouraged among our peo ple. It brings to light the good and the weak points of both sides, incul cates an element of self restraint into turbulent dispositions, preserves that, spirit of amity which supplies the sunshine of our community life. Talk it over by all means—and if at first your talk does not succeed talk again. Mr. R. F. Cheek and son, Frank, spent Sunday in Moore county. Mrs. Claud Cheek, of Bennett, is visiting Mrs. R. F. Cheek in West Asheboro. FARMER NEWS An excellent Children’s Day service was given on Sunday morning at Con cord church in which most of the chil dren of the community took part.

For the past three years he has been mar ager for the big Boylan-Pierce estab lishment in Raleigh. Mr. Cooper has some ambitious ideas as to the general policies and the upbuilding of the Gilmers store in Greensboro. He states that it is his intention to make such improve ments and add such new departments to the store as will be a convenience to the shopping public. High Price For Ice Citizens of Raleigh have for some time been complaining about the high price they have to pay for ice. It is stated that ice prices are higher in Raleigh than in any other city of its size in the country. The Wake county grfind jury is investigating the charg es that the Raleigh ice manufacturers are violating the State anti-trust law. It is pointed oat that in 1924 ice was furnished by the manufacturers and dealers at 40 cents per hundred pouad by tickets and 60 cents cash. These companies merged and all formed one company. Now the price charged ranges from 60 cents per hun dred to 80 cents. While wo reslam Evolution is a right smart institution, if not a most important one to u*e— for, our biggest minds have spouted—fairly pooped their fists' an’ shouted, till they near ly make the opposition cuss!
