North Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1887. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25 1927 Life’s Most Joyous l>ays Lots of folk have had joyous days | in their life and it will be hard for each to say which really was the most joyous. We have asked numbers of our friends to tell us what they con sidered life's most joyous day to them. Remarks were almost as numerous and different as were the number of people we approached. It is however, rather gratifying that many did say that their wedding day was life's most joyous day. This is really gratifing because there are many of those who believe that real hardships started only when they got married and then folks who wrote funny stuff always harp on the struggling wedded couple. Others even claim to have gotten their most joy when they felt the light of religion fall on them and the coming into the world of the first born of others made them happy. But one fellow answered us and said his most joyous day was when he went to town and paid in full the mortgage on his home and farm and heard the words, “It’s all paid up! You're free/' Now folks which was life's most joyous day to you? TnoTeST^ND COM M ENTS f 0— Many an ^utoftiobile is now on its last spin.

Why is it that the average man will stop his work to look at a good looking lady walk across the street. The reason why policies is as rotten as it is, can be found in the fotteness that is within the aver age citizen. The millenium w ill be at hand when the leaders of the Democratic and Republican parties agree on any public issue. Judging from comments in the press the people of other countries do not have the impression that Uncle Sam is any Samartian. One idea of a modest lawyer is the one who was allowed a fee of $175,000 by the Court, and volun tarily reduced to $166,000. Our sympathy is always extended to the man who begins to build a house, expecting to get out on the amount he expects to get out on. Graybar and high school costs, it is saTun.ave risen 747 per cent higher education we bear so much about. The better-tban average cottons, more than paid their wav this year The Mexican Rig Roll variety is one of the bert for conditions in this state The churches of Plymouth do not work in a spectacular fashion but whenever thev close their doors the rest of the town might as well Call it the end. Some of the best vields of tobacco recorded during the past vear were secured where dolomitic limestone was u«ed on the land along with good fertilizer, cultivation and varities. t OBITUARY { r Ofrs.

Volunteer | Red Cross workers have served by the j thousands with the local Chapters in 1 garment production, printing raised type reading matter for the blind, in hospital service, as canteen workers and motor corps aids. Nearly all ac tive Chapter workers are volunteers. More than 90 per cent of the avail able reading material for the blind is produced by volunteer Red Cross workers. Volunteers produced 175,481 garments, 2,057,912 surgical dressings for hospital use, and 6,398 articles for emergency closets maintained by Red Cross Chapters in various communities for disaster and other emergencies. The garment production, large as it was, did not include the thousands of garments made for the Mississippi flood sufferers by volunteers. Another important volunteer service is the prep aration and sending of 30,000 Christ mas bags to soklier'3 and bluejackets on duty in foreign stations. Approximately 250 Chapters partici pate in Motor Corps service, while the growing interest of volunteers in health work constitutes an additional community safeguard in emergencies when the services of regular nurses might be overtaxed. Volunteer service will be an impor tant factor in the forthcoming elev enth Annual Roll Call, from November 11 to 24, in enrolling the 5,000,000 membership to be sought.
