It is human nature, and this keeps our boys and. girls from making as much progress as they could otherwise. If they were only far-sighted enough to see the good results of hard work they would understand how much better it is for them to' study hard. The time for resolutions is not at the end of the school year, but is at the beginning. Last commencement ve heard many school boys state that they regretted very much the time that they had wasted during that year and that they intended to study and work hard during the com ing session. Now is the time for them to repeat those assertions' and make them good. Parents also should make up their minds to encourage in every way possible the formation of studious habits among their chil dren. Without the help and co-operation of the parents the teachers are at a loss for working out success fully their own plans and ideals. A good start means everything. Children and parents should realize rteht now in the beginning of the fchool year that the teachers will do everything they can for the help of thei Goldsboro, Sept. 12. The Golds boro tobacco market took an upward trend Friday. As soon as the first sale started at the Tobacco Growers Warehouse at 9:30 ana continued upward all day.

It was pointed out that one of the best sites for a country club within a radius of ten miles of Oxford is on the National Highway one mile north of the court house. In naming the committee, President Jamieson of the Oxford Chamber of Commerce, sug gested that the joint committee ex amine the site north of Oxford and see if they can agree to locate the club at that point. President Jamieson stated that it would require at least fifty acres of land to lay off a nine-hole golf course. The question arose as to whether the people of Oxford would be willing to establish and maintain a country club without the assistance of Hen derson, and this QustiotF "as answered by the assertion that it would require 300 members at $3.00 per month to keep it up. Mr. Garman, one of the speakers, said he doubted that Oxford and .Henderson, with a combined popula tion of 10,000 would support even a small country cluh. He knew ot a club that had l;500 memoers, ne said, and it was a hard pull lor them .to make both ends meet at times.
