HearD | about TowN Of course, we are delighted that the Bishop returned our good friend , Rev. J. P. Herbert, to Roxboro. He has been here for only two years, but that Is long enough for every: man, woman and child In these parts to have fallen In love with him; he has done a great work In our town and we trust the four year rule will not work when he has served this community that length of time. But while we are rejoicing in having Brother Herbert back with us. it is a great disap pointment that we could not have Rev. S. F. Nicks return to us; he has served the Brooksdale charge six years, we believe, and it was doubted that he would be returned, still, we hoped to the last that such might be the case. He has been sent to Cedar Orove circuit. ? ? ? We told you so! Early in the sea son you will remember we told you to keep your eye on the Roxboro to bacco market, and when the season closed you would find it well up in | the front with the best. Well, on last Friday one of the houses here had a good big sale, and it averaged better than *25.00 for everything on I the floor. Get wise to the fact that you make nothing by carting your tobacco off to other markets. ? ? ? Monday sure did remind us of the old days; wagons were standing out in the street? and our police men did not say a word about blncfctng traffic ? waiting for room to get in the warehouse. It was a good day for the merchants, and for the tobacco farmer, also, for prices Just kept climbing. Talk about the "good old days," that was one of them and we are hoping for many more of the same kind. . ? ? ? Business Is simply humping In this good town, every day from Monday until Saturday, and one of our best merchants told us that his business last Saturday was the best day he had ever had, and he has been In business here for quite a spell. You could hardly get waited on In any of the stores, and they all had extra clerks, too. President Roosevelt's plans has surely put the old wheel to turning In these digglns. ? ? ? For quite awhile there has not been a vacant residence in town, and today we do not believe there is a single vacant store room here. We call that a good record, and it yvio'vs that othe-s are looking to Roxboro as a place to live and do business. ? ? ? Are you thankful for the many blessings you are enjoying today? If so. what about showing It in a material way by making a liberal contribution to one of the orphan ages In the State. They are all hard pressed, and turning away children with no home, no one to love or care for them, every day, and all they ask is that you give the pro ceeds of one day's work, that is, if you earn $1.00 a day give a dollar, if you earn 12.00 then give $2.00, and so on, even if you earn twenty, or fifty dollars. You can not make a better Investment, and you will feel better for having lent a helping hand to so worthy a cause.

Thursday: Mr. Thomas Frazler soldj , a load of tobacco at the Planters j warehouse last Thursday and was', more than pleased with his sale.

Mr. Isaac Blalock sold a one horse load of tobacco at the Plant ers warehouse here last Thursday and received a clear check for $319.90 for the load. I Contract Breaker Jailed: Oxford, Nov. 23. ? Sandy Bradsher, Person county farmer, today was under sentence of 30 days In Jail for con- 1 tempt of court for violating an to- 1 Junction issued by Judge W. A. Derin, of superior court, forbidding ' him selling his tobacco outside the Tobacco Growers Cooperative asso ciation. Bradsher was sentenced < yesterday when it was testified in ) court that he had continued selling < tobacco to independents after the J order was Issued. Hubert Eppes, al- < so of Person county was fined $50 * on a similar charge. < ? o < i Sunday School Lesson By Rev. Charles E. Dunn PAUL IN EPHESUS Lesson for Dec. 3rd. Acts 19 and 20 < Golden Text: Matthew 5:10 ! Ephesus was the capital of the ' Roman province of Asia. An impor- ' tant center of commerce, art, and ' religion, its crowning glory was the | famous temple of Diana, one of the seven wonders of the world. In this ' pagan community, notorious for its faith in magic, Paul carried on a long, eventful ministry. At first he taught in the synagogue, but be cause of opposition he withdrew to the school Tyrannus, and there taught and preached for two years. So favored was he by God's Spirit that he was able to perform mir acles of healing and exorcism. Naturally enough, when certain Jewish exorcists learned of Paul's success in casting out evil spirits, they were encouraged to imitate him. The consequences, however, were so disastrous that the Ephes ians became panicky, and a very valuable assortment of books on the magical arts was publicly burned. The Christian faith, a* a result, gained In prestige and influence, spreading rapidly throughout the whole province. So many converts indeed were won to Christ that the tradesmen who sold silver shrines of Diana suffered a serious loss of HAS HEALTHY NERVES NOW HOW ARE YOUR NERVES ? HaMMHi FINE. .YOUR!

But to get a complete picture one must supplement the account In Acts bv a study of the references to Ephesus In Paul's letter*. Here we learn that he was prostrated by a| severe illness (3 Cor. 1:8); that he was apparently condemned to a ccmbat with wild beast in the arena (1 Cor. 15:33); and endured other painful trials (1 Cor. 4:11.) His mis sion was a success but he himself, as in other places, suffered greatly. Yet how unconquerable is his spirit! Read carefuly his appealing Farewell address, in Acts 30. to the Epheslan elders. Here we feel the contagion of one of the bravest, noblest, and tenderest of men. Paul had now labored in four of the provinces of the Roman empire. He now Journeys to Jerusalem, bear ing a collection for the poor. Official?, Private, School and College Groups To Convene Called Upon to Meet at Same Hour Tuesday Afternoon, Dee. 12, to Consider Program of Institute of Government Chapel Hill, Nor. 29? All city, county, state, and federal officers uid employees, all groups of private citizens, and all high school and college students are asked to as semble at designated meeting places In their respective communities on ruesday, December 12, from 1:30 to 2:30 o'clock, when complete details [>f the progam being launched by the Institute of Government will be presented for consideration, ac cording to a statement Issued here today by a group of representatives of the public officers of North Car olina. The statement, which said the meetings would "consider a govern mental program of far reaching im portance to the people of North Car olina," was signed by 45 officers of 23 groups of public officials. Public officials were asked to as semble Informally in the city halls &nd county courthouses of their re spective governmental units. ^Pri vate citizens wee asked to assemble In their respective meeting places, and high school and college students were requested to meet in their re spective assembly halls. Guairantee o# Fund? Addressed to "the public officers and private citizens of North Caro lina" through the press, the state ment pointed out that the results of the united efforts of the goupsthat have called these meetings "have thus far brought a guarantee of $50,000 to the officers, citizens, and students of North Carolina to carry on for a period of three years the governmental program they have Inaugurated through The Institute of Government." This guarantee, it was explained, is made on the condition (1) "that the official leaders of all groups of officers and citizens show their faith in their own program by agreeing to contribute annually to its support any amount of their own choosing from $1 a year up and (2) that they join together in asking the rank and file of officers and citizens to do the same thing, (3) If contribu tions of officers and citizens are sufficient to support this program, then at the end of three years the $50,000 guarantee instead of going back into the pockets of the guar antors, becomes a $50,0000 gift to ward a permanent endowment to enable officers, citizens, and students of North Carolina to perpetuate the work of the Institute of Gov ernment. Leaden Comply With Terms "We have complied with the first condition of the guarantee by agreeing to conrtlbute annually to the support of this great govern mental pogam," the statement said.

Baptist Churches Pre pare For Enrollment In the Baptist churches of North Carolina preparation for the An nual Enrollment ls ne&rlng com pletion. On or near December 3 it is expected that the churches will observe Loyalty Day. Rev. L. V. Coggins of Semora is leading the movement In the Beulah Associa tion which embraces Person and Caswell Counties. In this program North Carolina is keeping step with other states in the Southern Baptist Convention. J There is, however, a new emphasis this year in North Carolina. In the enrollment In North Carolina the members of the churches will ( be asked first of all to give them selves in service, and then asked to undertake to contribute a definite amount for the support of the local expense of the church and for the objects fostered by the denomina tion. These objects are Missions, foreign, home and state. Christian education and benevolence, with the exception of the orphanage. This last named institution depends for its support upon onoe-a-month offering In the Sunday schools and a Thanksgiving offering. In order to proviae iur a real de dication, a double card has been dis tributed among the churches, part one challenging each member to give himself and part two to give of his income. Reports indicate that the enroll ment this yiar will be unusually successful. It is believed that this success will be due to the fact that the appeal Is made not only for funds but tor personal service as well; that the spirit of unity in the churches as well as in the de nomination at large has never been finer; and that the people on the whole have more which they can and will give. Recently the State Convention met in Greensboro, and the report^ of that meeting indi cate that the Baptist people are united and face the future with high courage. There are at present 2375 church es in the state and on the rolls of these churches about 440,000 mem bers. ? o A number of Jackson county far mers are planning to harvest black locust seed this fall because of the healthy demand and the excellent crop in the mountain area. = READ s | Tom P.
