My little town, that has not yet
attained
The height and breadth of
cities, oh .stay small!
What profit is the vastness they
have gained.
Their strength ct stone and
steel.: when, growing tall
They lose the staging company
of leaves:
And grow#>\g wide, they
have m. room for grass;
Xo rose-vines reaching for con
tented eaves.
No space to watch the sea
sons as they paas.
No lure have cities to entice a
thrush.
No yards for children, carpet
ed and sweet;
With all their pride and gaiety
and rush.
They bear the burden of a mil
lion feet.

Wreck On South
Mam Street j
A very exciting automobile wreck
occurred on South Main street Wed
nesday before Thanksgiving when a
Packard roadster in which a bar.eh
of Chapel Hill students, M<fUro,
Varrstory, Devin and Cobb, were
driving on their way to Charlolta
ville, Va.f te witness the holiday ball
game, ra-n into the rear end of Pat
rick H. <"lay'a Ford touring car,
which was occupied by Mrs. Clay
and her mother. Mrs. W. A. Mills.
The Ford car -was knocked clear off
the street making a complete wreck
of the Ford. Eye witnesses testify
that it wins almost a miracle that no
one was more seriously hurt, bow
everi^fev Mill& sustained some pain
ful tuts and bruises, While* Mrs, C'ay
and the occupants of the- Packard
were only, shaken up.
A most deplorable tragedy occuved
rn the Laws store section la3t Tues
day, when Winfred Peed, a hard
working young man lost his life in
a. most unusual maimer. Mr. Peed
carried his team and wagon to the
woods to haul up his winters supply
of ood. On leaving the house he
told hiij( wife that later in the day
he might go down in the Helena sec
tion and when he failed to come home
:it dark his wife thought he had
gone to Helena to spend the night,
and thought no nrore about his re- i
turn until *in the afternoon of next1
day when some school children whof
were pas&ig through the woods saw *
Pewl lying on the ground with his
'earn hitched to the wagon. The
alarm was given and investigation
..howed that Peed met his death by
failing frcm the load of wood, com- <
pletely disH^atitig . his .?ek. The
remarkable point is, that the team
stood in the same tracks b^ their
5 yui master from 10 a. m. Tuesday
until 1 p. m. Wednesday when the
accident was discovered.
Mr. Peed leaves a wife and four
small children who have the sym

Nearly 400.000 lbs.
AVE. BETTER THAN S.IO.
Sales were gcod on the market
last \veek, and while there were only
three sale days nearly 400,000 pound*
were sold. The buyers used the holi
days to clean up all stock on hand
and with -the opening of the market
Monday were ready and --anxious to
again f\\Y their factories.
Prices continue satisfactory, ' the
average being above the $30,00 mark,
aTtd,;?he farmers are rushing it in.
jiFrc: all appearances there will be
a very small per cent, possibly less j
than twenty-five per cent, ieft in the
hand:-- of the farmers after the'

Hog and Mominy
At Home |
There is absolutely no use in argu
ing that real ^ogs cannot be railed
in Ptrson cconty? when such hogs
as are being killed this winter is good
evidence that we can raise our meat
much cheaper and a more satisfac
tory grade, than we can buy from 1
the Western markets. We want tot
urge, especially the young boys and
girls to buy a pig and make him grow
into a record breaker by next killing
time. It is an easy, sure way to
guarantee yourself some nice spend
ing money by next Christmas. The
best one we have heard of this year
was killed by a resident of Jalong,
X. C.t last week, weighing 598 lbs.
but we failed to lean* the name
of the owner* ? ?
