Oak City Teachers and j
Parents Met Last Friday I
Oak City.?The parent-teacher as
sociation met Friday night of last week '
instead of Tuesday night, which was 1
the regular time, so as to culminate j
education week and celebrate Armistice '
Day in one big program. After the j
business was disposed of, the meeting
was turned over to the program com
mittee.
The first number, centering on edu- !
cation week, was a play'et presented
by the grammar grades, emphasizing
the importance of reading good books,
a part of every one's education. Then
a historical pageant was presented,
beginning with the landing of the Pil
grims, ending with the signing of the
Armistice and a prayer for national
peace. The scenes were pantomimed,
while the glee club under the direction
of Miss Wilder, aoccompanied with
songs appropriate for each period.
Th*' 1a?? and tin im.Ii i u*wl
of the evening was an address deliv
ered by Mr. Lyn Bond, of the Eason
Tiny Post of the American Legion at
Tarboro. The association was very
fortunate in securing Mr. Bond for
rts speaker.
The parent-teacher association
wishes to express its apprrriatinn to
all those taking part in the program,
especially to Mr. Bond, of Tarboro.
It is looking forward to a most suc
cessful year since it has begun with
the largest enrollment it has ever had.
Cause For Ray Bunting
Suicide More Obscure
The mystery surrounding the cause
for Ray Bunting taking his own life
in Hamilton last Monday afternoon
became deeper yesterday when it was
learned that the young man had been
without work only three weeks and
that there had been no quarrel between
him and his mother! It was reported
that Mr. Bunting had been out of a
job for about two months, and that his
unemployment might -have led to the
act. It was also reported that instead
of a quarrel, the boy just thought he
had been mistreated by his mother.
However, those close to him are al
most certain some foreign cause, nev
er explained by the young man, led to
his self-destruction.
This paper gladly offers these later
flats'in the case, in the hope that a'
clearer understanding may be gained
by its readers.' .

Market Closes Today With
Big Break and High Prices
The Williamston tobacco mar
ket completed the 1934 ealca just
about noon today, marking the
cloae of one of the moet succemaful
seasons in the history of the mar
ket.
Farmers starting with the mar
ket last August made their last
sales on the market this morning;
each of them declaring they had
made money through their con
tinued patronage of the local mar
ket. Even though the sales were
the last of the season here, they
were conducted with mush pep
and vigor, and the prices seemed
very satisfactory. However, the
quality of the offerings was mighty
poor, nad the general average for
today trill hardly pass the 28-cent
mark.
Complete figures for the season
are not available, but the pound
age will be around the six and one
half million mark, it is estimated.
Already the warehousemen are
making arrangements for another
season, Messrs. Griffin and Tay
lor announcing officially today
their plans to be at the Roanoke.
MAKES RECORD )
K /
An audit of the sheriff's books,
recently completed, shows one of
the best tax collection records for
the year 1933 In five years. Ninety
per cent of the 8178,609.76 levy
was collected in cash. Certificates
of sale, amounting to about 814,
000, and representing about 8 per
cent of the levy, have been turned
over to the county attorney for
collection or foreclosure, leaving
an insolvent list of only 2 per cent,
or about 13,000. The insolvent list
has been turned over to special
collector H. S. Grimes, it was
learned.
For the year 1932 there eras an
insolvent list of more than 89,000
and certificates of sale represent
ed almost 836,000 in uncollected
taxes on real and personal prop
erty combined.
