In stead of the month of wed dings, June seems to be the month of birthdays around Maxton this year, so we’re ex tending our best wishes to Jacky Medlin, Lacy McRae, Bobby Burns, Patterson Bald win who lives in Lexington), Lytch Patterson, Jr., Christ Speros, Sara Lib Richardson, and to others who will, as usual, tell us about it too late. Upon consulting our new book (rather Mrs. McEachin’s) on astrology, we find that persons born during this time are quick in thought and speech, high strung and impulsive with sensitive minds and very dex trous hands, gifted with the power to heal. They make suc cessful doctors and writers, as they are imaginative and intu itive. They need stabilizing in fluences, and should cultivate tolerance, willingness to con form to reasonable standard and self-control. They are ex tremely versatile and make de lightful companions, but should guard their health, take rest periods and have a complete change of activity at intervals. They are loyal, true and home- loving and usually achieve suc cess in business. Pretty fine horoscope, isn’t it? ‘ HOW~ABOUT IT? We were glancing over the “Tar Wheel,” the official weekly publication of the Asheboro Rotary club, which we always find very readable, when we came across this: A certain sergeant (well known in Asheboro) had been taken into custody in Florence, S. C., for allegedly floating synthetic checks. How did he happen to be in Florence? He ■ ran across a telephone direc tory of that thriving little city and found listed therein three Crooms, 8 McLeods and five Halls! Well, how do you like that! IN NEW YORK. We know everyone is interested to hear (from Mrs. C. M. Knight, who is visiting New York for t’J first time, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Dick Kennedy. She had anticipated it greatly, and we are glad to be able to ten you that she is having the time of her life, and that her health has improved. She writ es that Clara and Dick were lucky in getting a nice foui- room apartment at Hempstead, L. I., and Dick, who is station ed at Mitchell field, has had time to take her around quite a lot. She had just been on a trip up the Hudson. She says it is real cool, but all the flow ers are, blooming and it’s beau tiful out at Hempstead. She doesn’t even mention coming home. Mr. Cuthrell, manager of the Maxton Chamber of Commerce, is offering some good advice about not parking in front of stores in order to give local and out-of town customers a Driver Dies When Truck Leaves Read Richard Melvin, Negro truck driver of Elizabethtown, was fatally injured about daylight Friday morning when the trail er truck he was driving hurtled from the Fayetteville highway and the Raeford highway in tersection and crashed into several small trees. He was about 38 years old. The accident was discovered shortly after it happened by •two soldiers, who notified Red Springs police and an ambu lance was sent to the scene., Melvin died en route to a Fayetteville hospital. The empty truck, owned bv Bladen Brickerete company of Elizabethtown, apparently was traveling too fast to make the' sharp T turn into the Raeford highway.

He says: “Would you deliberately park in front of your store and in convenience your customers? While this is not being done very much, parking “across the street” is being done, every day, and all day long. Let’s give ourselves a break and our customers a break. Let’s make parking space available, and by doing so we will better our home trade, and our out of town trade. “The Maxton Chamber of Commerce and Merchants As sociation is asking your coop eration in this matter—to help ourselves, and for the general welfare of Maxton.” Three Taxi Drivers Gypped By Riders Reports have reached Max- ton of three instances where taxi drivers have been gypped by a Negro man who is still at large. The man has in each instance, hired cab driver,-?-and upon reaching his destination, has asked amount of fare, and if the driver could change a $20 bill. When the driver got out his billfold, the Negro grabbed it and ran in the first two cases. The third case reported, how ever, is that of John Jackson, Laurinburg taxi driver, who carried the man to a point near Maxton and when asked about changing the twenty, demand ed that it be produced first. Whereupon the man jumped from the cab with a threaten ing motion to his gun pocket, and ordered Jackson to get go ing.
