The Test Farm, The Farm Demonstrator and The Improved School House One of the most surprising featur es in the rapid development of North Carolina is the enthusiasm that is ap parent in every community and every town from one end of the state to the other. Everything that indicates going ahead has its signal out. It is practically impossible to go to any place in the State and not immediate ly recognize the signs. One county points to its farm development.One tn its health measures. One to its multiplying schools. All of them vvo enmp special lines. You meet the good roads engineer, and just after him comes the man who is stimulating the creamery production, and after him is the man who is pio neering a paint and clean-up move ment. And every where is the cry for more people to help in the accom plishment that North Carolina has decided on. Granville county is just now figur ing on a bond issue to get more school houses. Granville is a mighty active county. It is one of the leading-tobacco counties of the State- it ?c o .,nn,i farm county for any nuni- o . , , x. v-- ., COHfflCEfPT ;;Mf QfflttrED SCHOOLS By BION H.

These folks know about all that is known so far. Therefore Granrville is ac cepted as a highly-endowed tobacco section. The people make the goods, and that is more evidence. Gran ville is a great tobacco county in a great tobacco belt of a great tobacco State. Three Places to snow.

Hints have been drop ped in several quarters that Germany is even anxious for Italy to enter into hostilities as by this means the possi bility might arise for Austria-Hungary to conclude a separate peace with T?n5sia. which would enable Ger many to withdraw many oi oer troops from the long eastern front for service elsewhere. nermanv. some diplomatists say.is not likely to be very active against Italy, and would ratner uuu services of many of her officers now employed in Galicia on tne western. front where they are greaxiy neeucu- Wave of Depression Broke T,e wave of deDressIon which has been sweeping England for the past three days following tne recwyi war news regarded as uniavoram, wa3 checked today by tne announce ment of the government to form a coalition cabinet together with better news front the eastern tront.

Having pulled the men out of the mud.the Sheriff offered, in his usual polite style, to turn around and ac company Williams to town, but the old fellow insisted that he could get along all right.
