FROM OUR PULPIT t
I ? 1
(By C. B. Mashburn) t
We have heard so many "tales of r
woe and depression" that we believe I
a note or two of progress and better c
times will help us to cast off our
"blues" and look more cheerful. i
Here are a few things that make us c
feel better and seem to be prophetic e
of better times: t
note with pleasure the continu- "
ed increase in attendance upon the t
church services. This has been very a
noticeable for the past few Sundays, n
"Return unto Me and I will return n
unto you," sayeth the Lord. When n
we return to the Way of the Lord, "
we will find our way out of all our -
ills.
We have been cheered by the re- d
sponse to our series of sermons on a
Acts. We closed this series last Sun- v
day evening, and are beginning f
o>rip<i on the ADOStle3 next I
Sunday night. We hope to make this h
series very helpful and interesting. C
Hear each one. , h
The Sunday school is showing some i<
improvement too. The whole School si
is anxious to have every one present -
ON TIME. Come on and let's make tl
our Superintendent happy by being h
there next Sunday. n
The whole community is delighted lj
to have with us this week. Rev. and
Mrs. R. S. Tandy of Harrisburg, Va.,
who were for four years servants of ?
the First Christian Church of Farm- tl
villei It is good to see them and a>
hear of the fine work they are doing ri
in "Gle Virginia." We hope they will t<
come again. - ci

SWEET POTATOES n
Sweet potato shipments will be Jj
finished this week by moving 2 cars
from Grifton, making a total of 13 "
cars. All sweet potatoes listed with b
the Exchange for sale will have been
moved except Mr. McArthur's, who
has a. car he wishes to move at a later ti
date due to other work he has under- ?
way on the farm at this time. _ ii
The moving of -these potatoes from a
this immediate section should relieve A
the local congested situation relative y
to potato market and those who have b
not participated in the shipping
sbdujd receive an indirect benefit
from the activities of the Mutual Ex
change in moving these cars.
TOBACCO o
El Y. Floyd, State Tobacco Special
ist, was in the county last Friday and =
Saturday checking up on tobacco -
demonstrations conducted last year 1
and arranging for continuation of ?
this work through this year. . Mr.
Floyd reports that to date there is no P
blue mold development in the Florida ''
and South Georgia tobacco areas. '*
While this does not mean that North 1
Carolina will not have blue mold v
again this year, with favorable wea- ^
ther conditions it is possible for thfs r
section to also get t>y witflout aFT

Masters of conjuring andslight-of
land always delighted in. exposing
he tricks of magic, according to the
ate great Harry Houdini, America's
Ipoas magician. '0M
lifany of the celebrated tricks and
sffects of conjoring and magic are
lundheds of years old. As each great
nagician added some new improve
nent to the trick he told how he
lid it.
With each generation came a larg
er. public. The explanation only seem
!d to whet the appetite for more.
How Houdini Got His Name
Many people have wondered about
he origin of the unusual nafne of
'Houdini," adopted by the great ma
gician of our own age.
It was because of his great admira
ion for Robert-Houdin, the brilliant
*??mi.on) nf the nineteenth cen
iCUUl
.ury, that Houdini took' the name,
neaning "Like Houdin"?the com
>liment of the gifted. disciple to an
?lder master.
Robert-Houdin fascinated the pub
ic of his day with published accounts
if his tricks?and Houdini has follow
d him in describing the most famous
ricks of all time?=the suspension, or
levitation," mind reading, card
ricks, the inexhaustible bottle, dis
ppearances, Indian fakir tricks and
nystifying escapes. Two of Houdi
li's well known books are "The Un
aaskink of Robert-Houdini," and
Miracle Mongers and Their Methods1
-A Complete Expose,"
Among other moderns who have
rawn back the curtain of mystery,
nd given us a glimpse of the inside
rorkings of magic show are Ottolcar
Mscher in his "Illustrated Magic,"
Professor Hoffman in his "Modern
lagic," Evans with his "Hifetoiy of
injuring and Magic," and Albert A.
lopkins, whose "Magic Stage Ilhis
>ns and Scientific Diversions" is a
tandard work.

le most brilliant performer of today,
as written explanations of 400 tricks,
~ ? ? I
lany of which the amateur can easi
/ learn to perform.
Magic Revealed In Camel Ada
Current interest in magic baa re
eived new impetus as a result of
he new series of Camel cigarette
dvertisements which, feature expla
ations of. magic deceptions in order
> bring out- the thodght- that Camel
igarettes contain "No tricks?just
DStUer tobaccos in a matchless
lend."
The Camel ads are based on expla
ations published by the magicians
aemselves, according to the R. J.,
eynolds Tobacco Company.
Professional magicians were con
iilted before the campaign was re
used. They took the view that "ex
osures" from within the profession
ave always created a new public fol
>fring for magic. Hence a great
lany magicians have heartily en
orsed the new cigarette campaign.
With schools reporting great in
vest in magic among the children,
lagic shops doing a flourishing busi
ess in magic apparatus, and puE
shers finding that sales of magic
ooks are rising, the Camel advertise
lents are likely to be credited with
barting a new fad in entertainment.
