' ' Church. - '
Easter services will be obser
ved at the "Methodist Church in
IPlymouth Sunday at both the
4morning and evening hours ; in
the morning the children par
ticipating, and in the evening
: . the adults. Appropriate ypro-
graria.have. been - arranged for
;flath services' and they promise
to be even more interesting than
ever s oef ore. '
Mrs. G. W. Harpey, who has
more than a state-wide reputa

musical director at both of. these
services, arid- a musical treat of
exceptional entertainment and
i merit is 'in store for all wjio at.
'" tend. '
The public will be cordially
welcomed.
v. . . The New Time.
At 2:00 o'clock Sunday morn
ing all clocks are to be moved up
one hour. To avoid any confusion
set your clock up when goii g to
bed Saturday night and then
forget that it is not running on
solar time, and be goerned by
it just as though it had not been
changed
Don't lose sight of the fact
Sunday morning that if you in
tend leaving on a certain train,
attending Sunday school or
church, and have not properly
At- vnur crock, you will arrive
r '
just one hour too late. All mills,
stores, theatres, tc., are expec
ted to observe this new time, the
on rnf AS railroads and all other
Federal industries.
At first this arrangement may
cause some little inconvenience
in the morning, but when we
consider the great advantage the
extra hour given us in the even
imr. so that we may spend it
with our families, working our
eardens, or in other recreations,
we will soon properly appreciate
it.
Ice Cream Supper at Swain's.
There will be an ice cream sup
per at Swain's School House on
Friday evening, the 29th, for the

Everybody cordially invited
Nitrate of Soda Distributor.
Mr. J. A. Chesson, R. D., 2,
Plymouth, N- C, has been ap
pointed by the division of mar
kets as nitrate of soda distribu
tor for Washington County.
According to the present Dlans
Mr Chesson will have the nitrate
supplies allotted to the farmers
of this county shipped direct to
him, and he and his agents will
distribute it to the farmers. Mr,
Chesson has the data regarding
the allotments requested by the
farmers, and he will distribute
it accordingly
The first shipment of nitrate
will arrive in a short while, and
this shipment will be for the far

u8 Hiw are .planting gram

crops will arrive in due time
Who's to Blame?
is almost universally de
plored that so few men attend
church services. Th
many remedies for this, and one
we believe is publicity of these
services. All men today are in
veterate newspaper readers, and
are more or less, unconsciously,
perhaps, influenced by what they
read in them, ; :'u i f. our , tors
would give notice of sermon sub
jects, etc., in advance and nnr
Sunday School Superintendents
would publish from time to time
notes of interest about their
schools, we believe it would cre
ate more, interest.
There is, not a church in this
county that is not within easv
reach of this paper, either by
.telephone or mail, and not one
around which the paper dees not
thickly circulate. Suppose you
use a little effort on your part,
and give it a trial ? As we have
repeatedly offered before, it will
cost ou nothing but the effort
on your , part ; we will do the
rest. We only request that you
send the matter in early in the
week, and do not make any one
article too 1 hy.
