The sheriff, accompanied by Deputy Prank Bradsher, went out in the Bushy Fork section and while out there went into the ga rage at Bushy Fork crossroads, thinking that it would be well to search every possible place where these men might be. When they went in, one at the front and one at the rear, they recognized a man who had been held on a similar charge in this county. Suspecting that thev were on the right trail. Sheriff Clayton arrested J. C. Shell horse. the man whom they recog nized and another man who was with Shellhorse, Clarence Dardy. Their car had broken down some distance from Bushy Fork and they had brought it to the garage to be fixed. The officers later went back and found the tobacco hidden in a vacant field nearby. They turned the men over to Sheriff Stockard of Alamance County. -u Cars Demolished In Early Morning Crash On last Friday morning two cars, a Chevrolet and a Ford, collided at the intersection of Lamair Street and Reams Avenue. This point is what is known as a "blind" cor ner, that is, one around which you cannot see. due to buildings, etc., built close to the street. It seems that the Ford, driven by* a Mr. Ashley was going north on Lamar Street when it struck the Chevro let, driven by Mr. "Ernest Wins te ad. which was headed toward Main Street, or east. The indications were that neither driver saw the other car until it was too late to avoid a collision. The Ford struck the Chevrolet broadside, almost completely demolishing it. The Ford was damaged to a considerabe ex tent but the Chevrolet was the worst damaged of the two. No one was hurt in the smash-up beyond a few bruises and lacerations. o Rev. Herbert Ends Meeting At Graham Rev. J. F. Herbert closed a meet ing at Graham on Monday night of this week in the Graham Meth odist church.

Yours truly, CLIFF HALL. o Fire Epidemic Visit Roxboro ? Four Fires Break Out Within Few Days, But Only One Does Much damage PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH SERVICES INTERRUPTED We have often heard that fires come in groups of threes, but in : locking over our list this week we find that this theory has been de stroyed. Not so long ago the gar- ! acre belonging to the Methodist church caught fire and burned to the ground; early Thursday morn ing the packbam -belonging to Mr. i R. C. Hall was found burning and had made such headway that it was impossible to save any of its contents. Mr. Dolph Holt, who was running the farm, just to the east of town, for Mr. Hall, had all of this year's tobacco crop packed in the barn. That is. all except a small portion of the crop that had already been sold and a little more that he had stored at another place on the farm. All of this was a total loss to Mr. Hall and Mr. Holt. Just at the eleven o'clock preach ing service on Sunday morning the Are alarm sounded and the people left the church to help put out a fire that had started in the Pres bvterian Church. It seems that a defective flue caused the woodwork in the back of the pulpit to blaze up. (Someone suggested that it j might have been the hot sermon, Dreached by our good friend, Mr.| McKelway). At any rate the fire was extinguished with little damage being done to the church. To cap the climax, on Monday morning the fire department was again called into service when it was discovered that the Critcher building on Court St. was ablaze. Again a de fective flue was found to be the cause of fire, but it was soon put out with small damage being done to the roof of the building and none to the building itself. . ? n Service* For Sunday at Long Memor.

COME IN, GET THE DETAILS EARLY Think Just What You Could Do With $600.00 In Cash Handed You For a Few Weeks of PJeasant Work. This is Your Opportunity. ENTER This Campaign NOW. Members Who RemttJIn Active Will Win One of the Valuable Awards or Be Paid 20 Per Cent Cash Commission. See Full Page Announcement of Christmas Club Cash Offer on Page 8, This Issue. With a more attractive list of valuable awards than has even been offered in this vicinity in a simi lar undertaking, The Courier makes formaJ announcement of a big cash offer campaign in which hun dreds of dollars of big awasds and casH commissions will be given away. A full page announcement in this issue gives the details of this gigantic enterprise. The list con sists of some of the most alluring and attractive awards Imaginable. The object of this cash offer cam paign is to increase the already wide and highly creditable circula tion of this newspaper to even greater proportions. This paper is going to pay its friends handsome ly for helping to introduce the pub lication to other friends and neigh bors. The award list is headed with the' latest model automobiles and the plan adopted by The Courier is a novel one. This paper could reach thousands of new readers by employing scores of solicitors to cover this section, but it would take quite a long time to do the work thoroughly. In inaugurating the cash offer campaign Hie Cour ier adopted a better plan ? a quick er method. This plan also gives its friends and readers an opportun ity to earn big rewards during their spare time. The cash offer cam paign will make a lot more noise and create interest and fun and there is nothing like having some fun along with business. Big Pay For All An especially attractive feature of the "Christmas Club Cash Offer Campaign" is that all will be paid handsomely for the results they ob tain. A cash commission of 20 per cent will be paid to all who re main active and do not win one of the regular awards. Thus the Christmas Club cash offer cam paign is a sure thing; from the be ginning. Their reward depends en tirely on the effort put forth and the results obtained. Spare Time All one is exoected to do in or der to earn one of the splendid awards is to devote his or her spare moments to obtain subscriptions to The Courier. In fact sufficient time is allotted to the campaign to allow one to see every friend and ac quaintance during spare time. The campaign will last six weeks, be ginning with the first published list of candidates names. A Great Opportunity. Hie words "automobile and cash" are the biggest words in the Am erican vocabulary today and Just how to make it possible to own a good car has perhaps been the thought uppermost in minds of many. Those who already have au tomobiles are contemplating the ownership of a bigger one; those who do not at the present time pos sess a good automobile are more than likely laying plans for one in the near future. Here Is the oppor tunity to own one of the popular cars on the market today? or the cash awards? and without the co?t of one penny.
