C. Senter went to Raleigh yester day to relieve Mr. White for the re mainder of the week. Decision to close on Tuesdays rath er than Wednesdays as is customary in most towns and cities in this sec tion of the state, was arrived at be cause of two pay-days falling on Wed nesday and Thursday. These stores mentioned will, therefore, close at 1:00 p. m. on Tuesdays and remain closed until the usual hour on Wed nesday morning, This half holiday will commence on Tuesday, July 9th, instead of the first Tuesday in July because of the fourth of July falling on Thursday this week. Since it has been customary for the stores of the town to close on this day, it would make two holidays too near together for convenience of the shopping public. The banka will elao dose an the fourth of July for a day's holiday. Kindergarten Of Ramseur Presents Unique Program Thomas E.

Accord ing to Frank Auman of Seagrove his large lumber plant at Seagrove has shipped more lumber during the past two months than in the same length of time he has been in business. On Saturday, June 22nd, the payroll was the largest in history of the plant. The same situation is true of the lumber business operated by Arthur Way, Asheboro citizen who has been operating a plant at Star for the past several years. Mr. Way reports that his business has been better in recent weeks than he has ever seen the lumber business. Here in Randolph where there is a large quantity of lumber, business men feel that this is a stable indica tion of business conditions.

Randolph Farmers In Need Of Help During Wheat Threshing Days Mrs. Irene Neal, head case worker of the FERA for Randolph county is actively checking working conditions in Randolph county and is quite defi nite in her stand that people who are enrolled on the county relief rolls as unable to secure employment, must co operate with the local office if they wish to continue receiving help from that source. Farmers in the county are com plaining that they cannot secure suffi cient help for their wheat threshing. The FERA office is not planning to publish a list of names of available workers at this time, but if the lack of help continues and these men do not apply to the farmers, it may be come necessary to do so. Mrs. Neal states definitely that if any person now on the FERA1’relief roll refuses to help a farmer and the farmer will report the fact to the local office, that name will immediately be dropped from the relief roll. This is a busy season for farmers and there is no point in carrying people on public expense who are un willing to work if wotk is available. The local office states this matter in no uncertain terms. Property Will Be Sold At Court House Door First Monday In September.
