They had a good meeting, every one of the *even schools of the group being rep resented, and every teacher was present except one assistant teacher who was kept away on account of neaslcs. The group meeting will be h' ld today at Hopewell school. ? ? ? Mrs. C. E. Edgerton, of Boon Hill t(>wnship, was here this week and re n?wed her subscription to The Herald. Mrs. Edgerton says that good papers coing into a home help to keep the * imily together. She regards news lepers as histories of events of the day as the history is made. She thinks Tnany a boy who stays away from "ne much of his time would be there more if something to read was pro vided. SOME REAL GOOD FARMING. Mr. J. H. Woodard, of Pine Level Township, Makes $1,250 on Eight Acres In Cotton. The past year was not a very fav orable one for farming in many sec tions of Johnston County, but occas ionally some man has seemingly ris en above the conditions prevailing and done well in his farming operations. Mr. J. H. Woodard, of Pine Level township, is one of these men. He made a crop with one mule, hiring eight days plowing during the year, and tending twenty acres. He plant ed eight acres in cotton, realizing $1,250 for his cotton and seed. He made $600 on four acres of tobacco and also made 200 bushels of sweet potatoes. He sold one hundred bush els of these before housing time for $75. In addition to these he made plenty of corn and fodder and saved fifty bales of hay. He has killed 1000 pounds of pork. Such farming as this pays and if more would adopt the plan of raising what they need at home they would soon find them selves more prosperous. Mr. I'ou's Family in Washington. Mrs. E. W. Pou and daughter, Miss Margaret, have gone to Washington to spend the remainder of the winter with Congressman Pou at the Shore ham Hotel. Miss Annie Ihrie will go to Washington from Washington, N. C., where she attended the marriage of Miss Small, daughter of Congres man Small. A Trip North. Mr. S. B. Jones and Mr. H. S. Powell returned Wednesday from a short trip to Washington, D. C., Jer sey City and New York. While in New York they attended the great automobile show at the Grand Central Palace. They report an enjoyable trip. Fixing to Cover Things. The enterprising hardware firm of Cotter-Hardware Company has just received a car load of galvanized roofing, bought at the old prices. They are expecting another car load this week. In addition they have just re ceived one lot of 210,000 cedar shingles which came all the way from British Columbia. From this, it looks as if they were fixing to give their customers the opportunity to cover a few houses. These people say that they are able to sell their roofing at as low price as it can be bought for to-day. An Appreciation of Prof. Turlington. A few weeks ago we read a letter in The Herald from Prof. Ira T. Tur lington. We were pleased to hear from him again, as we do not hear from him so often since he left this County. We do earnestly hope he will soon regain his health. What Mr. Turlington did for the schools of Johnston County will never be told. Born and reared in this County he loved the people in it, and sought to help them all he could. He seemed to think that the men and women, boys and girls of this County were of just as good material as those of other counties, and thinking that, he did all he could to build them up. Many a poor, struggling teacher of 20 or 25 years ago who has succeeded in life, owes his success, in a large measure, to Prof. Turlington, for he always lent a helping hand to those who were trying and needed assistance. May he be spared many years to continue his work of helping others. A. B. CREECH. Kenly, N. C., Jan. 10, 1917. ? Mr. J. E.
