' As some others are little friends were present. Games were played and refreshments serv ed, after which all went home say ing they had enjoyed a good after noon. Mrs. G. W. Davis, Miss Dollie Da vis, Mrs. Floyd Chadwick, Mrs. V. A. HARKER'S ISLAND are expressing their views on the county affairs I want to have a little to say about it too. I see that Mr. J. A. Wallace ii in favor of a six months school. A few years ago the people voted on them selves an eight months school but I was one that voted against it, but on to suit themselves and if we saidj any thing they would say I will give you that in cash for it and my friends they were unable to buy a cake off a prir'dle iron and they ain't up until this day. Now I am going to tell you what it was for it was only to give our county more borrowing power and they commenced saying we must have bigger and better school houses and they built them all over the county by bonding the county and then theyi went to consolidating the schools to- j gether and buying trucks to carry ine the children in back and forth and that ain't all the real estate man comes along and goes to buying and selling and trading lands and that has caused lots of people to lose their homes and taxes went so high that people can't pay them and that is go ing to make a great many more to lose their homes. Now everything a farmer raises has gone down and selling for noth ing and still they want us to uphold an eight months school. I want to tell you all they will have to stop something or its going to bring a bout another war. Now there is something else I want to tell you it aint the farmer that caused so many bank failures it is the real estate man nine tenths of them you know that is the truth. I could say lots more on that line but I want to mention a lit tle about the present day living. My friends we can not expect anything but depression if you stop to think , what people are doing on the Sab bath day. They take their dogs and deer hunt all day Sunday. They I haul their tobacco to market on Sun-! day why we can't expect anything better than hard times just so long as we do it. You know the Lord says "Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy" My readers I want to tell you that some people are preaching today that we don't have any thing to do toward our soul sal vation when a man says that he just don't believe the Bible. You all will read the 3rd and 4th chapters of 1st. Timothy and see what it says for us to do and the Lord says that the grace of God that bringeth salvation has done and appeared unto all men teaching us that leaving all ungodly and worldly lust we should live sober- j ly, righteously and godly in this pres ent world." Are we doing it? I say not the most of us. How can we ex pect any thing but downfalls. Now ain't that something for us to do to cleave to those things that God tells us to leave off. Now my friends from now on let's do what God tells us to do. God says that every man shall be judged according to his work why do people want to preach that we have nothing to do. My friends I could say more but I will stop. From your best friend I hope, E. L, McCAIN. Newport, N. C. Police Learn How to Handle thugs lj : hf Oh-..

H. F. organization is a branch of the Future Farmers' of! America, which extends from Maine I to California, and from Florida to Washington. It was suggested by Mr. Long, our teacher, for each boy who could fur nish a tree with which to build a workshop (as the county was not able to furnish any money for this pur pose) to do so. Boys who do not furnish a tree are to furnish tools. The boys are to build the workshop themselves. We are going to build work bench es, vices, stands, tables, book-cases and other articles. The boys will carry some of these home and the rest will be used at school. Use better paint-save money jlorjM.00. Stag temi- Yo Use faint.
