"They do say" that the way that »
■new Board of County Commission-}
ers took hold of their job Monday
i
was good to see, and presages one
of the best administrations the coun- .
ty has ever had. They are earnest, (
efficient, and have the welfare of j
the county at heart.

Maybe you have heard that old
saying, "Growing like a Green Bay ;
tree." The new National Bank has
that tree backed "forty ways from
Sunday". Heard Cashier Harrill say ;
a number of days ago that deposits
had already passed the hundred j
thousand mark and were increasing
daily. Our banks are the only foun- j
dations upon which to build for pros- ,
perity and progress. Stand by them.
Get out the old sock, open up, and
put that hoarded money into circu-.
lation.

Haven't heard any more about
that daily paper. Must have been as
much of ian irricjescent dream as
the "Hoover Prosperity" we heard
so much about at one time—and
just as likely of accomplishment.

Kind reader, if you want that
free subscription to The Courier for
one year, you had better rustle in
that dollar, which pays for two years
if you get it in to this office by
December 15.

Heard the new Methodist minister
in a short talk at the Kiwanis Club
Monday evening, and were very much
impressed, not only with his ear
nestness and kindness, but more so
Avith the vigorous "humanness" of
this big souled and big bodied man.
He made a big hit with the Kiwan
r
fans. i

SCHOOL BOOK CHANGES.
Proposed changes in some of the '
textbooks of this state are certainly
ill-advised at this time and the State
board of education will do well to
take no steps that would add addi- i
tional financial burdens upon the;
people. }
Already, from Raleigh comes the *
information that the board of edu- 1
nation has signified there will be no
-changes permitted unless the new
books to be adopted show a material
reduction under the present series.'
This is encouraging and shows that
the attitude seems to be to consider
the pocketbook of the school patron
of first importance. j
However, we believe it would not'
be wise to have any new adoptions'
this year under any circumstances.!
It is certain that all changes,
would result added expenses no'
matter if the new bpoks were priced j
under the old; becausG all books in ,
present use that are not on the list j
for next year would have to be dis- |
carded.
The state board no doubt will
bear in mind that changes in text
books probably cost the public mora
of an outlay in money than exces-,
sive charges on the part of the puo
lishers.
The important consideration to be
kept in mind by all officials who hold
the public purse strings in a period
such as the present, should be to
economise in every possible way, to
the end that the people may be spared
all needless expense. It should be a
vital need, indeed, which would war
rant the saddling of more burdens
on the average citizen. —Hickory

Scored again with the World's peak in entertainment. In keeping with our

greatest piece of entertainment the silver screen has ever reflected, and we say
this expression is a mouth full in face of all w r e have been presenting to you.
AMOS AND ANDY are the stars and the title, "Check and Double Check",
and the effects on the screen are just one hundred fold greater than what these
skunks pull over the radio.
In order to accommodate all our patrons we would like for as many to attend
the matinees, but if this can not be handily arranged, we have the picture for three
days and will try to take care of you.
With this picture we also gice "Around the World" with Burton Holmes, Fox News
