On Monday Sheriff Dunlap sold some .">OO tracts of land and town lots for taxes due on Ihe property. A large number of citizens attended the sale which was held at the court house here.

BUS SERVICE ] VIA DANBURY Camel City Co. Applies To Corporation Commission For Authority To Operate Cars Over Walnut Cove-I).nbury i Westfield-Mt. Airy Road.

Airy highway as ] soon as the paving is complet- led between Walnut Cove ami ; Danbury. | As soon as the bus service begins operation it is morj than likely that application will be made to the post office de partment to allow the buses to carry mail, which would prove a great convenience to the peo ple of the section through which this route passes. It saiil that bus service a* established by the Camel City Lines is superior to any other form of travel in several re spects, being more economical, Isafer and faster schedules than I the railways, as Well as per ! fectly comfortable. | This service will be especial !ly beneficial to the Stokes re-. i J sorts during the summer . months, as well as being m i great convenience to the public ■ in general.

Spot Taylor an nounces the opening of Pied mont Springs hotel for Satur- ; day of this week, June 11th, and on Saturday night th~> i opening dance of the season ( will be held. The six-piece orchestra employed by .the ; hotel for this season, which is ] one of the best to be had, will arrive the latter part of the . week and furnish music for 1 the opening dance. t With a hard-surface high- 1 way reaching to within a very short distance of the hotel the ' prospect is that this popular resort "will have the largest pa'rorage in its history this i feason, being more accessible 1 to the public than ever before. While a very short detour will have to b- used in reaching the hotel during the first part of the season it is not believed that tliis will materially affeet the patronage of the resort. Some Nerve But Poor Judgment 1 admire the nerve, but don't think much of the judgment of the county superintendent of public education in one of the ; eastern counties, who has his teachers to promise to not have sweethearts. j The persons who have suc ceeded in obtaining teachers certificates of necessity must have learned self discipline; others drop out before they finish high school. The average age of our school teachers surely is not under 30 years, It seems to me that an educat ed man or woman 21 years and up, should be allowed to intertain friends, and perhaps have a sweetheart. However, the experiment will be inter esting, and if he succeeds he should be given a government j job, something easy, like con trol of static, or flood control of the little Mississippi river, i H.
