This rating is made on the ha- is of equipment, personnel, and sanitation. In this resipeot par ticularly it was determined by the inspector that, the ■ surprisingly low rating of these eating places came as a result of insanitary conditions in the kitchen where tile food is prepared. Another fea ture which operates unfavorably against a public eating place is the manner in which they dispose or fail to dispose of. kitchen gar bage. Ratings (While) Smithlield Cafes.

Four Oaks, Mar. 1.—The clouds and rain did not dampen the ar dor of the pleasure of a merry little party of children gathering in the home of IVfrs. B. 1. Tart on the afternoon of February 24. The occasion was the celebration of Master Leon Adams’ sixth birth day. Many games which are usu al!.'.' enjoyed outdoors lost none >f their fun when led by Mrs. Tart! indoors, through her hall and liv ing rooms. The little guests proved the i long standing truth that “it more blessed to give than to re- j reive” as the gifts were piled on a table t° the running-over stage. After much glee in opening the packages, they wore led into tin* ! dining room where the real cli max of the afternoon awaited them. The table wa- beautiful | with a big white birthday cake ( with six lighted candles in the j center. The places were marked j by little George Washington hatchets on which were inscribed, "I cannot tell a lie.” Further decorations of cherries | emphasized tihe idea. Little Leon cut his big cake and treated each little guest to a generous slice as aii aid to the ice cream they were enjoying. Now (.'osmetic Stunt.

At the same time the governor rec ommends transfer of certain print ing to the jurisdiction of pur chasing agent from the depart ment of labor and printing.

The defeat of the bond issue for permanent improvements wa i tremendous surprise. It was headed for success when Mr. Mu;l if Shelby said he did not approve tf bond issues at present and voted against it. Mr. Mull being i strong leader close to Governor Gardner, the house was stamped* I and defeated the bill out of band.
