Begins To Look Busy
- The air of business is beginning
to be noticed around the .tobacco j
warehouses: farmers are bring-j
ing loads of the new crop in to be 1
graded in the grading rooms, and j
soon the full corps of workers j
will be busy putting everything
in shape for the opening day,
August 22nd. Unless the rains
ruin the Martin County crop, the
sales on the localmarket promise
to be much heavier than last
year. As for prices, there is no
need to ask about them if you
sell on the Williamston market
there is nothing here except high
prices. Just bring the weed and
receive'your checks each day.
Look on inside of paper \
for your draft nuwber.

A Very Quiet Sabbath
The first Sabbath under the
new ordinance was quiet and
pleasant. There was an absence
of a crowd of Sunday loafers
standing around exchanging
ideas about the war or some
other momentous subject, and to
those who were and are in favor
of the law, the town looked as it
should have years ago on the
Sabbath day. If there were any
trials at violation, they were de
cidedly on the quiet, and it is
confidently believed that the peo
ple of Williamston will more and
more approve of the ordinance,
which is intended to respect the
dav-which the Lord set apar*" as
a day of rest It is only a ques
tion of getting used to the
change, and that will come in a
short while. The present Board
of Town Commissioners are to be
commended for the passage of
the, ordinance, and should see
that it is not violated in any par
ticular.
