Foreign Advertising Representative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION "1 Handle the, newly dug sweet pota tines rprefullv:'a bruise may mean rot later. ,-. All humorists have some, things in common, the most notable being their jokes. ' Dawes says he doesn't want the "movie fan" vote. Well, what other kind of' a vote is there? His meH4s-fcJer to Larollctte as a promising candidate, but then so do liisopponents for that matter. One reason why people do not have more respect for laws is that the sup ply of laws exceeds the demand. Most' styles change from year to year, but no one ever questioned the supremacy of the deviled -egg and sweet pickle for the picnic. A physician predicts that people of the future will live to be 150 years old. He seems to. have in mind peo ple of a whole lot of future. Prohibition may be a failure,' but so was a lot of moderate drinking be fore the Eighteenth amendment be aiBe--nTOrr7Tess effective. Tom Tarheel says he and his neigh bors depend more on what they can do for themselves than on what the Government can do for them. If it is true that Hollywood, Calif js getting tired of being held, up a a horrible erample, why doesn't it stop being a horrible example? Whenever an editor gets a lette beginning, "I have been a reader o your paper for 25 years," he knows he s in for some more free advice. Notwithstanding all the arrests for speeding, there are still some defiant soMls'who are taking a chance on a thrill, and are getting away with it. London reports that "the Prince o Wales may be married in the fall A better word is autumn. Fall getting too common in stories about the Prince. the -automobile accessory tnieves who are stealing tires and batteric might help the police in their cam paign against speeding by stealing few motors.' Cocklebur plants are poisonous to swine, cattle, sheep and chickens, ac cording to recent investigations. Pig may be saved by giving them mil' immediately after they ' have eaten the plants. ' .... Land well limed every three year and fertilized with manure and acid phosphate has produced an average of 46 bushels of wheat to the acre on the farm of Chas. A. Brown and Brother, Cleveland, N. C. "Even the stick from that old worn out broom now has value. Kit it crosswise in the bedroom closet and place, so that the hangers will not touch the wall and you have an idea place on which to hang the clothes ' say home demonstration workers of State College. ine i.aroiiette lieutenants are working a smooth scheme on the quiet for a j-light amendment to th Volstead la-y. They are whispering around in different places that if La Follette should be erected that we will get 2 per cent or 2 1-2 per cent beer. They claim to have proof that this small percentage of alcohoPin beer is not intoxicating, and that they could raise a billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) in revenue, cut the farmer's taxes in two, and reduce the cost of lining, reduce "bootlegglag" by more than half. They claim this .slight amendment to the Volstead law, which is entirely too extreme a measure, will be beneficial all around. In the olds(days beer contained four and five per cent alcohol. Exchange. Miss Mary Jane Gregory. The subject of this sketch was burn on the waters ot the Cullasaja in tne .and of the Sky, March IV, ana passed away ;u ihcuij w .4nai, a., on the 29th ot heptember, iv--t. She united with Sr.lcm M. b. uiurcn. South, when a young girl, where she eld her membership until death enme. Mie was iaunuu ,iu him yas- tors, often .sending her quarterage and dues to Mr. T. R. Gray or some one at her former home. Many of us would do well to emulate her. She- was cheerful . and optimistic. never looking on the dark side of ii'e. without a murmur. Everyone loved her" tha't knew her, so cheerful and kind, so interested in every one. even the little children. All her loved ones will miss her more than tongue or pen can tell. Our loss is heaven s gain. May her brothers, sisters, and uany relatives and mends strive to meet her there by living iaumui, honest,. upright lives, loving God and serving and loving each other ' and loving their fellow men as them selves. Believing in the all-atoning blood of Jesus Christ our Lord to bring them all to heaven. v Miss Mary Jane (or by some caea Parthenia Jane after her grand mother) was the daughter of Jackson and Polly Gregory. She started out as a young girl to make her living. She was employed by Bidwell and Company a few years at Corundum Hill. Macon 'County, N. C, and then went to Davis boarding-- house at Highlands, N. C. She was indus- tn'ous and made good wages for those lays. " Also many friends were drawn to her. 1 have heard something like this. Mr. W. L. Peel, of Atlanta, Ga., was summering at the above de- iehtful resort. On preparing to re turn to their splendid home, said to Mrs. Davis, "We want the best girl we can get to go home with us." Mrs. Davis replied, "Take Jane Gre gory." At any rate, she went into their home, cared for their children and became as one of the family, re ceived good pay and was dearly be lovel by their daughter, now married. She never called upon her father and mother for help, but did all she could for' them. She suffered three paralytic strokes within two years. The third one . came pn Thursday morning, at 6:30, September 25, 1924. All was done for her by Dr. Hill, a trained nurse, and the kind family, but to no avail. She grew weaker and passed peacefully away to be with loved ones, and meet her L'ord and Savior Christ whom she loved. She was buried by the pactor, Rev. R. A. Truitt, assisted by the writer, at Salem Church in the presence of weeping loved ones and neighbors. Her grave was literally covered with autumn flowers, in addition to those sent from friends. ' A.

We cannot and will, not publish communications to the Press unless the name of the writer is signed to the letter. It is not necessary that the names be published, but ve must know who the writer is. We are glad to get letters to the paper from every section, and sincerely appreciate them if they are written in the right spirit and signed. In the past few days we have received several letters from various sections of the county which we were unable to publish because the "writers 'failed. to sign them. In no case do newspapers publish the names of the writers of communica tions unless they are of such a nature that it is necessary, but no paper will publish articles that come unsigned. Those who write to the Press will please take notice and not neglect to sign the articles sent in. We get tired of throwing interesting letters into the waste basket almost every week because the writer 'did not let us know his or her name.
