Nothing j beautifies a town or a home quite j so much, considering the cost, as th‘j setting of trees and planting of shrubbery. With little cost and trou j Me, v.e believe the beauty of ou> j town might be greatly enhanced by setting more trees and shrubbery i Tho-e who are behind this movement j are to he commended and their work 1 should bo appreciated by everyone >i ( us. However, we hope that people who. live on the streets where these trees! have h 'ei e<. will -ee to it in the; ing and sumnn i that water is provided to sustain life dm-! itig a dry spell till nature can supply' a root system to assure the p rmaneut life of the trees Much of the fine work of the Woman’s Club last ye-n was lost became no care was given the trees alter they had been set. votin<; mo i \ 11: In the Baptist State Convention la-1 week a resolution was pa--ed em ph:itica!!\ opposing any movement in ( ongress io change the 1 sth \mend ' ment or modify the prohibition law - ! The Baptist folk of the state may. if| they vote together, with the moral helpj of other denominations, carry any is-j sue before the people. Everybody knew, hi lo e the people. Everybody knew’ Mr. Reynolds was a rank wet. He said; so, and told the people what he would, do for the 18t!i Amendment if they elected him to the Senate. Vet, many!' goo,| Baptist and Methodist folks wont up to the noils and helped to give him 1 one of the largest majorities possible. The action of the Convention win very much like the old story of lock ing the stable door after the horse ' was stolen, only they helped to pro-! vide the ways and means by which): the horse might be stolen. No broth ren, you just voted for the light thing 1 at the wrong time, and we fear yott t lost your second vote when you saved l your first.

R \T CAMPAIGN The first and second weeks in I)e --j cember are being observed as anti-rat Campaign weeks in eastern Carolina i Rats destroy more grain and othei I things for man and beast than any i other one* .agent of food destruction i They harbor in barns, out-houses Ici ibs, smoke houses, homes, wood i piles in fact, in almost every nouk and corner on a farm, even in the field; and " nods if no other place may I be found. | And their destruction may hi I brought aboii! with very little trouble j and expense. Fifty cents worth of : poison espet ally prepared for tin rovc.mnent and sold at cost will be 'sufficient to kill every rat on the avet ge farm. Mr. Jno. C. Anderson Wake Count' agent, has a supply o this poison at his office in Raleigh ! Any one wanting it, may secure' ' 1 i>\ si-ung him, or sending for it t.e his office. If i. hoped that every family in Zebulon and every farmet in the community will take advan tag<‘ of this opportunity to get rid of all rats on their premises. It kill mice as well as rats. \ VOTE FOR RRE M) NOT LIQUOR To hear some people talk, there was nothing the matter with this country except it was on the verge of destruction because of the terribb fix prohibition had brought about. Tin two parties virtually stood alike on this question nationally, yet Roosevelt swept the country. 7,000,000 hungry, idle men with starving families and many othei millions id farmers and artisans not making the bare necessities of life turned the “trick" that put Mr. Roose velt in and Mr. Hoover out. .bust give the people time to get their bear ing- once more, and the liquor inter est- will find that >t was bread and not beer that the common people vot' d for. We believe when Congress meets these people will meet with one of the great surprises of their lives; namely, that the election did not move the minds of the people one inch much less an ell from the conviction that prohibition is what they wan! and will continue to demand of out legislators. Like the old darkey wlu admitted beforehand that he stoU the chicken, but on trial swore he did not, so will they find the difference between all the talk now and the truth about this question when the vote is taken this month or next year The Zebulon N.

As a result of a special cabi net meeting, it is announced that the budget for next year will be cut about four million dollars. The com bining of bureaus anil sirniliar groups is proposed, and federal employee, are wondering, in many instances whether the new year will find them in search of a job. Disregarding tin budget cut, the change in the politi cal complexion of the .administration ! undoubtedly will bring many new faces into government positions, in Washington and elsewhere. For tin third time in as many months, foreign trade shows a balance in favor of tin United States. The general tendein y is more significant than the actus i figures. Another gratifying sign >. the times is that the movement of gold abroad is dropping. The wn; debt situation will be in a more un derstandable condition than it is at present, after the results of the <•• i feronce between Missis. Hoover ; i»«' Roosevelt have been made public. It: is said that the atmosphere through-! out the country is charged with a dis-j in.’’nation to lit down the bars re garding the repayment of the money 1 due us from Europe.

They [dan 4 i establish a central agency for the allotment of peanuts to be move,] pro portionately from each county, and will probably put into force a system of picketing to in-ure the marketing •f peanuts through the agency. Wagons, trucks and railroads must have written orders from the agency before moving peanuts. At present prices are less than two cents a pound to the growef of the peanuts.

Vi' akefie!d’s History By I). I). C'hamhlee A few weeks ago a letter was hand ed to me from The Wakefield Daily Item of Wakelield, Mass., asking fm a brief history of Wakefield, North Carolina; also information in regard to the number of inhabitants, its in dustries, etc. This information was to be used in publishing a book on the Wakefields in the United States. 1 made several inquiries to ol,| na tives, but none seen: to know anything in regard to its origin. To them Wak field was like the rock and river. They were here when they arrive.l and would be here when they would be carried away. To them Wakefield had always existed. No one had evei contradicted h. I happened P' put ibo question to Mrs. J. A. Kemp ot Wak, field and she gave me the desired in formation except dates. She cod I not recall them. Mrs. Kemp told me that it was he; great, great grandfather, Lortis Al ford, who dedicated and name,] Wake field. Mr. Alford owned farms ia Franklin.

Some time, there will be a town here.” The reason he gave it this nann | was because this field was in Wake county and he adiie,] field to Wak. ! to distinguish it from other farms. | The home of Mr. Alford was near the home of Mr. Oliver Phillips and he was buried near there. He went to ( ongress in 1885 and rode there on horse back. Wakefield at one time was a stop ping place for the stage, and the stage road was called the Raleigh and Tar boro road.
