Just try Roxboro with a load and

Lest We Forget ?
Armistice Day should be a day cf
serious contemplation and of re
'newed consecration.
No words could more fittingly des
cribe the proper attitude of our
hearts and minds than fcund in the
memorable address cf President
Lincoln in his Gettisburg address.
"It is for us, the living, rather, to
be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which thfey who fought there
Have thus far 3D nobly advanced. It
is rather for us to be here dedicated
to the great task befire us ? that
frcm these honored dead we take
increased devotion to that cause for
which they gave the last full meas
ure of devotion; that we hate h?gWy
)%<??! ve that these dead shall not
have died in vain; that this nation,
under G' d, shall have a new birtn of;
freedom; nlnd that government of
the people, for the people, shall not
perish from the ear*h."
It is a grave question as to whe
ther Democ racy can survive cr not.
It is only when the will of God . be
comes the will of men that men can
live at peace with men.

CHAIRMAN <T G. ALLEN
Durham, Nov. 8. ? -More than a
million dollar? a year will be -avail
able for hospital work in North Car
olina as a result cf the provisions j
mao'e by the late James H, Duke,
George G. Allen, of New Ycrk,
chairman of the board of trustees
of the Duke Endowment, said while
in Durham last week. The princi
pal method of distribution is on the
basis of $1 per day per charity pa
tient in hospitals cf the States, if I
this does net use up the income,
then the Endowment 'fund wilt assist
communities, counties or other groups j
in building hospitals, but will not j
build them entirely, Mr. Allen said. !
Not even }Lr. Duke, witfc all his
study and thought, realized the ex
tent of fjis benefactions to the char
ity sick, Mr. Allen said. The fund
is expected to help build and help !

Tom Want* More
Local News
Our good friend, Thomas Frazier,
wants more local news in The l!ou- I
:ier4 and ffca offers the following
wise suggestions.
First class news, ?ix( eight and
ten Jines v^ill certain much good
news, and- if ihe tvw<W* ut -Xk?
[ C- urter would give a short news
items from their neighborhood then !
you would see The 'Gpuriex in full!
bloom with news. If a farmer re
ceive? a big price for some firte to
bacco that would be a good cue; if]
a mail captures a wild turkey, that's j
a good cne; if you capture, a wild1
deer, that's a dandy. Let some of
the good farmer? who make big rpps
cf corn repcrt the number cf bar--'
rols made; let some of. the farmers
tell aboui their big potatoes and
turnips; let some of the firme-s r
give the number of gallons of mo- j
lasses made, and if their is a mar
riage be sure and report it.
Now f:r the town people: When:
your friends from other tewns visit
you always give that to the local
editor, for she will take pleasure in
printing it. And just before Christ
mas we hope to see a good many ,
little beys and fills telling Santa
Ctaus what they want him to bring |
tHem. Let the town people and the ;
country people send in "sfiort news ;
item* and you will hear the read- !
ers say The Courier is full of tVews i
