Mrs. Jesse Carter of Aber deen is the boy’s grandmother. Leaving the home of his parents on West Main street Thursday after noon, presumably to visit a local flor ist, young Carter failed to return at the proper time and a wide search was begun for him. The Washington fire department, police. Boy Scouts and a large part of the citizenship of Washington en gaged in the search which covere.i every part of the city and the water front. Boats with grappling h^Doks and nets were used until a late hour that night but not until 6:30 Friday morning was the body found.

Still, maybe you’d better check this before making a too numerous effort to remember, because it was figured on an old fashioned adding machine with two rusty keys that stuck. The point is, tempus always fugits fast est just before Christmas. The writer was recently confront ed with a Poscoffice poster posted in the Postoffice admonishing patrons to mail Christmas packages early. With a conscientious desire to con form to the rules and regulations, he hurried out to the nearby stores and bought the bulkiest packages he could find. But whpn they were ready to mail he couldn’t think of anybody to mail them to. Despite his confusion, he would hear the clock ticking away valuable seconds, so at last in desper ation he addressed them to himself and left them in the mail. Now his office is littered with buai- dles marked “Not to be opened till Christmas.” It beats all*how the very beet of intentions frequently result in embar- rassm^t. BANK OF PINEHURST Pinehurst, N.

Some of these folks who come as visitors are going to hunt out a home location- Some of them will pick Weymouth ridge, for it is under their eyes. Every new location taken on the ridge leaves that many less for the man who puts off making his selection. If you think it over a bit you will real ize that when Fort Bragg took 122,000 acres from the market just east of South ern Pines it left the available land much less than it used to be. It is not wise to be caught without a building location on the day you want one. S. B. RICHARDSON Real Estate PATCH BUILDING Southern Pines.
