about
TowN
About all we have heard about
town lor the past few days has been
the weather and that has been a
plenty. This scribe has been around
here quite awhile and never has he
seen anything like it. No power or
lights all day Monday, consequent
ly things were at a standstill in the
mechanical department?and like
wise little going in the cash drawer.
But today the sun is shining bright,
and even if the thermometer was
down to about ten this morning,
business is running about normal
The tobacco market closed to
day, and Just as soon as the ground
hog completes his Job the fanners
will begin, to get busy on their plant
beds. However, this will not be
quite such a Job as usual, for prac
tically every farmer in the County
is going to reduce his acreage thirty
per cent and it will not be necessary
for such an abundance of plants.
Well, here's hoping that the harvest
will be satisfactory and prices high
accordingly.
Some of our folks must have re
ceived aid in some sort of a fashion,
from the CWA, or the PWA, or
some of the other many alphabeti
cal programs, for there were only
three new entries for postmaster
here during the past week. That is,
we only heard of three?possibly
the weather kept them shut in.
School all over the County, in
cluding the schools here, were clos
ed down the first three days of the
week owing to the weather and
roads; and tt is passible they may
not open for a few days yet. When
the snow and sleet has melted away
it is likely the soil roads will be in
bad shape, and school buses will
not be able to make it.
"License Applied For": Monday
night a couple left Durham with
the Intention of going to Virginia
for the purpose of getting married,
but after passing Roxboro they
found going pretty rough, so they
decided to return home. However,
when they reached here on the re
turn trip they found the going al
most impossible, so they concluded
the only solution of the difficulty
was to stop and have the ceremony
performed in Roxboro. Notwith
standing it was then 3 a. m. they
finally secured license" and present
ed themselves to Rev. W. F: West
who made them man and wife.
Lsted Walker, who presides over the
fire department, said he thought
Mr. Geo. Pulliam, the night police
who aided the couple in locating
the necessary papers and the
preacher, should have advised them
at that hour to go to the hotel, reg
ister, spend the night and hang out
a sign, "license applied for." Mr.
Paul Green of Morrisvllle and Miss
Elline Hunter of Durham were the
parties to this romantic wedding.
Sunday morning the car belonging
to Mr. Roger Wilkerson decided
it was being left parked too long
in the cold, in front of his home
on Court Street, and proceeded to
run down the hill, finally ending
up against a rock in the field in
the bottom. The cai was damaged
somewhat, and required the services
of several men and a truck to get
it back on the street.
Monday was a fine day to spend
at the movies, but as there was no
electricity available there was no
show. Many folks took advantage of

"And for the support-of this De

of strong religious convictions; that
they had faith in Ood, and that
they put "a firm reliance on the

The greatest need of the day is
a return to the ideals, principles

Why Doctors Favor
a Liquid Laxative
A doctor will tell yon that the care
less use of strong laxatives may do
more harm than good.
Harsh laxatives often drain the
system, weaken the bowel muscles,
and even aiTect the liver and kidneys.
Fortunately, the public is fast
returning to laxatives in liquid form.
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need. It
forms no habit; you needn't take a
"double dose" a day or two later.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin gently
helps the average person's bowels
back to regularity. Why not try it?
Some pill or tablet may be more con
venient to carry. But there is little
"sonvenience" in any cathartic which
is taken so frequently, you must
carry it with you, wherever you gqj
? Its very taste telLs you Dr. Cold
well's Syrup Pepsin is wholesome. A
delightful taste, and delightful action.
