Procrastination is The Thief of Time We are certain only about one thing, that is we will die. Death is a terrible thing to think about/ It comes to the young and old without- warning as to the exact time. You can put off going on a trip. You can wait to buy a suit. In fact as long as you like you can shift your dates to do things. There js one thing we can't put off, that is the certainty of death. People are passing out every day. Even if they are ready in every re spect . to go, it is hard enough to part with your friends. The first thing a person ought to do is be ready to meet his Maker. The next preparedness is to have a sufficient amount of insurance. We sell all kinds of insurance: Mr. Bradsher Gentry is connected ^rlth the agency. He'll devote -a ?Treat deal of his time near Collins K Aikman. He'll be glad to talk to you about insurance. See us beifOTe tomorrow. There may be no tomor , row for you. ^NIGHT'S INSURANCE AGENCY Harris & Burns' January Specials The policy of a single January Clearance Sale is not being used this year by Harris & Burns; instead, they are advertising and offering each week certain January specials at the lowest prices which have prevailed for years.

LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL IS SUSTAINING IIS ACCREDITED RATING Continues On The Member ship List of the Association of Colleges and Schools of Southern States 6TH CONSECUTIVE YEAR The Roxboro high school has received its certificate .of member ship 'in the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States for the year 1932 1933. This is the sixth consecutive year that the local high school haaf been a member of the Southern As sociation, which is the highest ac crediting agency of the schools of the South. The local high school and its supporting community are fortunate in being accorded mem bership in the organization men tioned when the retrenchment pro gram and hampering restrictions of schools in North Carolina are con sidered. The high ?chool that meets them has something to be proud of as well as a reputation to sustain. How long our State high Schools can meet the requirements that are now set up for accrediting relations is a matter of speculation when we consider the further reductions in school facilities that are now pro posed in our legislative haUS.
