THE ZEBULON RECORD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1925 CO-OP WAREHOUSES TO OPEN UP THIS MONTH Exactly 46 warehouses of the To bacco Growers Co-operative Associ ltion will open during the first week at October in Western North Caro lina and Virginia to receive the bright crop of 1925. On Thursday, October 1, the asso ciation opens its receiving points at Durham, Oxford, Henderson, Fuquay Springs, Norlina, Vass, Townsville, Sanford and Aberdeen. On Tuesday, October 6, the old belt markets of the association begin to receive the crop at 37 points in North Carolina t.nd Virginia. While the association has cut down expen ses this year by closing fifteen mar kets in Eastern North Carolina and South Carolina, there have been very few changes in the markets of the old belt as a larger percentage of this season’s crop is expected to reach the association’s floors than in 1924. With greatly reduced expenses of operation the tobacco farmers’ mar keting organization has doubled its receipts to date over last year, both in South Carolina and the Eastern Blet. It enters its strongest terri tory with expectations of large re ceipts of tobacco during the opening days. In the face of an average price for tobacco on the auction floors at Wilson, N. C. which quoted as $14.74 up to October 18, by the supervisor of sales for that market, the associ ation has come forward with the highest advance in its history. It is offering a sales agency to the to bacco farmers whereby they can re ceive full value for their 1925 crop by avoiding the losses resulting from the badly disorganized condition of ‘he markets which has followed the Chinese boycott of the Brit sh corn names, according to General Manager Richard R. Patterson of the market ing association. Between 25 and 30 million pounds >f tobacco has been received by the issociation in the new belt to date md deliver’es in Eastern North Carolina are increasing every week. United States Senator E. D. Smith if South Carolina will address the co-operative tobacco farmers of Hal ifax county Virginia, Saturday, Oc tober 3, at South Boston. More than 5000 farmers of Halifax county are members of the tobacco association and fully one thousand automobiles are expected to enter the parade to the mass meeting which celebrates the beginning of the association’s fourth season in Virginia. S. I). FRISSELL. PARTY FOR TEACHERS Spring Hope, Sept. 28.—A very pretty social was given by the Fi delis Class in the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Tunnel to the teachers of the Spring Hope Graded j School on Thursday night. The home, already lovely in its furnishings, was decorated with cut flowers and potted plants. The guests were met at the door by Mrs. M. H. Privett and Mrs. Willard H. Griffin. Receiving in the living room were! Mrs. Tunnel and Miss Thelma Lamb, j Mrs. L. T. Bartholomew and Miss Laura Sutton directed the guests to the punch bowl, which was presided over by Mrs. A. C. Farmer and Mrs. B. F. Wood. After they assembled in the living room and parlor a very unique con test was engaged in, the answers to which suggested the names of the teachers present. Chewing gum and tooth picks were then passed and the guests were told to use the gum as modeling clay to make little animals, which furnished quite a bit of amuse ment. The guests were then invited into the dining room where a color scheme of pink and white was beau tifully carried out in the decoration. The centerpiece was a silver vase with pink rosebuds, and pink candles were in silver holders. The color scheme was also carried out in the lefreshments, which consisted of an ice course and salted slmonds. TO PAVE ARENDELL STREET For sotne time it has been talked about, that the town of Zebulon would pave some of her principal streets, and the matter has been sug gested through the Record several times. However, the work has start ed as it is understood that Arendell street will be paved, and already the grading has begun. This is a matter that has needed attention for a long time. With paved streets the progress of Zebu lon will even be faster than ever be fore. With paved streets and side walks j all over the town, it will make the town look like a new town. Let’s ' make all the permanent improve ; ments that can possibly be done now. The results for better will follow later. Zebulon Club Work Activities !

BEAUTIFYING THE HOME Home may be the brightest place on earth ot it may be the gloomiest. To make it the grandest of all in-‘ stitutions, to make it the one place ever dear to the heart, should be the ambition alike of parents and children. Wh.le all can contribute to its joy and happiness, there is no concealing the fact that it is pre eminently the kingdom of woman. It is her’s to embellish, to make it tasteful and cozy. Our honors tell the story of our lives. The climax of the home is in its decorative ac cents. It is with home as with our j clothes, the touch of color is import- j ant, the home must have its enliven- j ing influence, the essentials of a room, its rugs, its furniture and draperies may be perfect, yet each that subtle something that gives it the charm of personality. Many of us are ape to need a general process j of elimintation, for in the past we j have rather followed the notion that 1 any quantity of things would deco- j rate. No decorative accent can be a climax, if there are too many anti climaxes’ to distract one. As a dec irative accent, just a few useful things, of course should be arranged j that color contrast is dec ded. In- j formal rooms period considerations j should have regard, we would not mink of Tudor Jacobean or other massive style, with the delicate Geor gian period. r l ue comparative inexpensiveness is but one proof more, that art and beauty are for every one. Shall we go into Autumn with new zest for ach eving more beautiful homes, which first, should be made clean and then beautiful, and then we will be better citizens and a better town. A STORK SHOWER Mrs. F. Page, Jr., was hostess Sat- j urday afternoon from 4 to 7 to a ] large host of her friends honoring Mrs. Foster D. Finch. Progressive! bridge and rook was the afternoon | amusement. Pink ros e buds filled j with salted almonds were the table I favors.

Flowers announced the arrival of “A Little Stranger.” This was followed by numerous and love ly little gifts. A delicious chicken salad with hot coffee, with whipped cream, sand wiches, cream cheese and pickles were enjoyed by all.
