The Primitive Baptist Association held with Camp Creek church last Saturday, Sunday and Monday was attended by perhaps the largest crowds which ever gathered at a re ligious meeting in Granville County. The crowd on Sunday was a record breaker Deing variously estimated at from seven to ten thousand. It is doubtful whether ss many automo biles ever assembled together before in the county. When the last associ ation was held at this church seven teen years ago, not a machine was on the grounds. Notwithstanding the vast number present the very best order was maintained throughout the three days. Sheriff Hobgood and the Sheriff of Durham county Avere there with a goodly force of deputies and did all in their power to preserve good order.

D. Gold, of Wil son. Elder Denny, of "Durham, Elder Rowe, of Baltimore, Elder Hoicks, of Fremont and Elder Coats, of Coats Throughout the association a spirit of good will and harmony preyailed, not a disturbance of any kind being noted.

Herbert Jones and Bill Blalock, of Willow Springs, and Roy Mangum, of this place, spent Saturday night and part of Sunday n Oxford. Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Morris, of Youngsville, who spent ten days visit ing their son, Mr. E. K. Morris, postmaster of Creedmoor, returned to their honie last Saturday morning. Mr. K. Z. Thomasson who live on Northslde Route 2, some three miles northwest of this place hap pened to the misfortune to get a barn of tobacco destroyed by fire last Friday afternoon. We have been unable to learn the particulars of the fire, but any way you can figure it, the loss is a severe one. Mr. Thomasson is one of Southern Granville's best citizens. and good viirof the farmer. We all try our best to bring about such a condition and In this way we help to make farming pay. ' As a result or our efforts to help the farmer we expect him to do some thing in return. And when the thought vjjcarefully analyzed it will be seen that we are actually asking him to help himself even more than he will be helping us, by doing that which we ask. ' We ask the farmer to buy his mer chandise at home instead of sending to the big mail order houses for his goods. We believe that he can buy at home just p.s advantageously as to send his orders out of town and that he will be- even better satisfied with his merchandise if he buys of our loc al storekeepers. I'.at the main point is this: We need all of the money at home. We need it for the purposes of business and e need the business that he is accustomed to send away to the mail order houses. We want tor stop their enroach ments on local trade. We "want to encourage local business men to pro vide stocks suitable and sufficient for local consumption, but if we send sway for the goods we need, then the local business men will become dis couraged and decline to invest their money and credit in stocks for our town. In order to help himself the farmer must help' the local merchant. It i only by such reciprocal condition . that a ooiumrnity can become pros perous and grow into a bigger com munity. And it is only by the fact that a farm is located in proximity to a good market that the farm will be come f.'ore valuable. Even if a farmer can make a profit on the buying of certain goods from a mail order house, in the end it will mean that he has helped to stultify his home market, which tends to keep down land values. A dull market never made a big town. In this, we can all help and- we are trying to help. The farmers who send their orders to the mail order houses do not think of the effect which their acts have on the comnv-m-ity.They do not realize that they are helping to create a sentiment which cannot but injure the financial condi tion of our home town; a sentiment which interferes with the growth of Lhe community and with the prosper ity of every land owner of iand. So, to mal.o faming pay, in botli the direct and the indirect way, stand by the townspeople and help local business conditions. Every farmer has a share and an interest in his home town. He is as much affected by the prevailing conditions in the town as he is by the conditions on his owrn farm. The town cannot have prosperity without his co-operalior. and he'eannot look for prosperity if he does not live in a prosperous com munity. Any man can injure his community by failing to co-operate with those Avhose interests are similar to his own. Shortsightedness may make a man believe that he is not included in this general rule, but few can suc cessfully, evade its application. Make farming pay by helping to "boost" your county town. Do you; business with our local storekeeper. You will prosper more in tne lent run. Buy y6ur lncrchandi'-.e at home.

MAKlxtf FARMING PAY Every farmer hopes to make a pro lit as the result of his labors. He toils early and late and spares no trouble to see that his crops are properly planted and harvested. His stock requires constant attention, and, taking it altogether, he has few spare minutes. Most of the farmers in our com munity ire prosperous. Our market is a sood one, while there are cer tain things to be desired, and we all reap our share of the results to our advantage. There is one benefit which tne farmer receives from his labors that we do not share in but in the making of which wre 11 have a hand. That is the added value of his holdings as they grow in desirability and as the deoiand for land in our neigh:, 01 hood increases. Because increased lancl yalues come as the result of conditions '.vhieh af ford additional opportunities of pro fitable crop raising, not the least of which is the market which permits of a -luick and desirable sale. Nat urally there can be no need of a mar ket if there is nothing to sell, nor can there be a profitable sale unless there is the right market. So the increase in the value of the farm comes with the better market conditions, the farmer finding better prices as the market becomes more popular and the market becoming more popular with the number of farmers Those who help to make the mar- l ket better are entitled to the thanks Standard North Carolina Almanac, 78 Years Old, to Appear Kegalarly The Turner-Enniss Almanac which has been published in Raleigh an nually for the past seventy-seven years, has been purchased from the Enniss. family by John A. Park, pub lisher of the Raleigh Times. Turner's North Carolina Almanac, as it is usually called, was establish ed by Henry D. Turner in 183 8. In 1867, James H. Ennis succeeded Mr. Turner and issued the almanac un til his death in 1900. From that time until April, 1914, the late Pinck C. Enniss was the owner and pub lisher. It is sold in practically ever town in the entire State of North Carolina; some of the agents nov handling the book have been f elling it for more than thirty consecutive years. - . .. The 1915 Almanac will contain chronological charts, weather lore casts, complete calenders, movable feast days, rising and setting of tun, and moon season changes, tides, eclipses, and moon's phases. Notes, ranged for each month, these fea on farming and gardening are ar tures being carefully compiled by prominent authorities. Many prac tical suggestions appear un ler thib head. There will be a. complete list of all state officers and department em ployees, with the salaries they are paid, directors of rtate institutions, members of various hoards and com missions, othcers and teachers of ed ucational institutions, and federal of ficers. A feature of the almanac that is always of particular interest to lawyers is the complete court cal endar for the entiry year, with names of fudges and dates of their courts. Household hints, ebokfnp recipes, and the joke columns will be new and enlarged in the 1915 book. A new feature for 1915 which has not appeared ir forme? almanacs, will be a complete record of the various crops in No'-th Caro lina for the year, giving quantities and values.
