Fraze.lle of RichLands, On slow county, has decided to add in comes from poultry, 'beef oattle and swine to his present income from tobacco. Recently he scfld 175 ca pons in Philadelphia for 24 cents a pound. He bought a pure bred Angus bull with the money. He has 325 capons now three months old and will trade his grade cows for Angus heifers.

Ashear BULLET KILLS MACON WOMAN Mrs. iElla Peterson Takes Own Life At Home I In Asheville Miss Mary Sanders received a message Thursday morning, , Janu ary 12, of the death of 'her sister, Mrs. Ella Peterson, of Asheville. Mrs. Peterson, a native of Frank lin, was found dead in her Jbed at her home Thursday morning, from a bullet wound in her head, enter ing through the right temple.

Peterson's, after he had heard what lie- de scribed as a "funny noise in grand ma's room." Immediate friends of the family told 'officers that Mrs, Peterson had been, despondent over financial affairs and ill health for some time. . Mrs. Peterson had a number of relatives throughout Macon county, who will deeply regret to learn of her passing.

WILL CAN PRODUCE Farmers in Pasquotank, Perqui mans and adjacent counties will grow 1,000 acres of tomatoes and 200 acres of Lima beans for a cannery at Cheriton, Va., this sea son. If the project with the beans is successful, it is. expected that contracts for 10,000 acres of this crop will be let in 194Q. FIRE-RESISTANT Where an extra high degree of fire resistancy in a frame structure is advisable, the use . of zinc-chlor ide vacuum-pressure treated lumber is recommended. A blow torch can be turned on wood so treated, but will do nothing but char the wood with no after smoldering. Church Services St Agnes Episcopal Church Th Rev. Frank Bloxham, Rector 4 p. m.

Meeting The Franklin Parent-Teicher as sociation met in the high school auditorium on Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock for the regular monthly business meeting, with Mrs. John Wasilik, Jr., president, presiding. W. H. Finley, agriculture teacher in the Franklin high school, opened the meeting by using the Parent Teachers prayer. Following this a very enjoyable program was rendered by the pu pils of the two fourth grades, under the supervision of their teachers, Miss Janie Brown and Miss Edna, Jamison. The life of Benjaman Franklin was portrayed in his . boyhood, his early manhood and as a citizen. His name was formed by a group of bhildren, each bearing letters and defining the meaning of each letter. As was the word . "Thrift Week" defined in the same manner. Recitations, piano solos, and a short three-scene playlet, "Sir Gal ahad, The Spotless Knight," with King - Arthur and Knights of the Round Table, 20 years later, was also a part of the evening's pro gram. This program showed that much time and consideration had been spent by the pupils, , as well as the teachers, in putting on a program so thoroughly enjoyable. The Rev, Frank Bloxham, rector of St: Agnes Episcopal church, made a very interesting ; Jalk on "Social Activities for Young Peo ple." Mrs. Helen Macon, . a mem ber of the high school faculty, gave a very instructive talk on "Legislation for Quid Welfare," and of the fight that is being made to have 12 grades in the North Carolina schools, as well as the nine months' school term, mm Premium Crackers Silver Cup Coffee, 1 lb.
