TOWN OF SCOTliAND NECK, N. C. 1 GOLD BONDS. Sealed proposals will be received until 2:00 o'cloek P. M.. April 28th, 1921, by the undersigned Clerk at the Town Hall in said Town, for the pur chase of the following issue of bonds of said Town. $250,000.00 Street bonds, maturing annually April 1st as follows: $13, 000.00 1923 to 1938, and $14,000.00 (Anon) YOU WILL NEVER BE SORRY Tor living a white life; for doing your level best; for your faith in hu manity; for being kind to the poor; for looking before leaping; for hear ing before judging; for being candid and frank; for thinking before speaking. The trials of life never scorn to re sult in much unless there are some convictions. Sometimes a man gets the idea that the public is organized to keep him well trimmed. At any moment the hero wearing the fir.st straw hat of the season will make his debut. A man has one advantage over a woman few persons notice his hat unless he calls attention to it. Few professional men have too many clients, but it is possible forthem to have too many easy-going friends. FARMERS, BEWARE The farmer should beware of plant ing tobacco this year. The crop should be cut to the core, if a profi table price is to be received for what is raised. Last "reports indicate a North Carolina crop sold of over four hundred and thirty million iounds; fifty million pounds over the estimate made by the government, and ten million pounds over the estimate a month ago. The average price paid was twenty one cents. This great production means a large stock of to bacco on hand to compete with' the 1921 crop, and -this' fact should be borne in mind when acreage is con sidered. . Cut down acreage on tobacco and cotton; plant that acreage in grain and foodstuffs, live at home, cut down expenses to the minimum; all is not yet lost if ive will observe these things for the present season. ming odds. Hon. Claude Kitehin ranks among the oldest members in Congress in point of service, and by his inherent fighting qualities and na tive ability had won his way to the top as the logical leader of party in congress. .
