BRIEFS Good morning! How do you like our appearance? Are you a subscriber to the Pilot? If you have any news, tell it to us, or bring it to the office. Speaking of marriage licenses; is it pro per to say a scrap or scrappy piece of paper. We are prepared to do all kinds of plain and fancy job work. Up-to-date in every particular. A wedding ceremony isn’t complete un less it determines who shall light the fires on cold mornings. German breweries are said to be facing ruin. What of the people wh j contributed to their prosperity ? Vass and vicinity, we are proud to re port, was well represent'id at the fair held at Pinehurst last week. In order to make this paper a big suc cess every resident should put his shoulder to the wheel and help push. The Sand Hill fair held last week at Pinehurst was a great big success. This adds another feather in Moore county’s iCap. There is nothing in the world that will advance a town more than a first class printing office. It will make a town jump. Watch Vass grow. A car load of tobacco was shipped from Vass this week to Winston by Mr. William M. Blue and others. We wish them a good price for the weed. The subscription price to the Pilot will be $1.50 a year up to January 1st, 1921, after that date it will be $2.00 a year. Better enter your name now. A meat market and a drug store would be a paying investment. There is nothing of more importance to a town than a drug store, and a meat market is a necessity. Why not some one start a movement to have these two places of business located in Vass. Billy Cooper, a youngster hailing from Troy, N. C., proved himself a better judge of porcine weight than any of the many experienced breeders attending the fair at Pinehurst last week, when he won a $10 prize by naming the exact weight of the largest junior yearling in the show. Cooper’s guess of 640 pounds was correct to the pound. A most daring and dare-devil stunt was pulled off at the Pinehurst fair last week when Mr. Claud Leavitt in his Over land car made a flying leap of eighteen feet over a special constructed structure. The car used by Mr. Leavitt was a regular stock machine, and not specially selected for the purpose. The test was made in order to demonstrate the durability of this well known automobile, and it came out of the game without a scratch. Mr. Leavitt is the agent at Carthage, and Mr. Milton Brewer is the representative at Vass. He can be found at the Pilot printing office. The Blue Fertilizer Company of Aber deen will be in operation December 1st, by advertisement in another column. They call special attention to the fact that they will make fertilizer specially adapted to the Sandhill section and for any purpose that wants a mixture fitted to different crops or soil conditions. This is a home industry and should be encouraged by every farmer in the Sandhill country in preferance to fertilizers that the farmers know nothing about and sold by agents who are only after the almighty dollar. So don’t forget to place your order with this new firm, if you want a square deal. Sandhill Fair a Big Success About eight or ten thousand people at tended the fair held at Pinehurst last week. The weather turned out fair after much apprehension and the result was the crowds came from all over the State and many other different states. Each year the Pinehurst fair grows in popularity and its interest with a larger number of people. Thursday Miss Geneva Sea well led the parade of “All Nations.” Miss Seawell is a Moore county girl,' who represented America, winning the place by popular vote. Interesting floats followed, several the Moore county towns being repre sented. Prizes were awarded to the most original displays. A basket ball game between the local schools followed and a foot ball game of much interest was played between State College and Davidson. The horse races held many spectators who were enthusias tic over the events. Camp Bragg sent over a battery of men from the camp and five air-planes that gave exhibition flights for the benefit of the public. The exper ienced army flyers were on hand during the three days of the fair, giving their audience below entertainment that was worth the price of the admission to the fair grounds. The big exhibit hall had displays from the various schools, the local institutions, needle work, fancy work of high standard, was shown in the domestic work. The canned goods shown by the clubs and house wife were of the blue ribbon class. Friday a Mother Goose pageant was staged, made up of school children that was one of the attractions of the day. Miss Annie Oakely, well known to fair goers of the Sandhills gave exhibitions of her shooting. Friday was also the day of the Berk shire congress and cattle show. The fea ture of it was the sale and successful dis tribution of the hogs. The Pinehurst fair is run entirely on a clean and honest basis, noticeably free from all objectionable features as a mid way, side shows and money traps.
