COMMENDATION
commissioners have started action
that will umiouoledly result in the
correction of this situation and we
feel that a commendation is richly
deserved.

The Sherman freshet raised the
Cape Fear River to a depth of 65 feet
at Fayetteville.l The freshet of 1908
was 66 feet, and the freshet last
week raised the river 1 foot and 9
inches deeper than the 1908 freshet.
We would like to tft-y our com
mendation, whatever it's worth, to
the Hoke County commissioners for
their action last Monday in taking
steps to get the rural mail situation
in this county corrected, and we feel
jure that the people of the town
arid county will concur in this.

Postmaster Currie used to bring
down a couple of mail bags to the
depot each morning, one for the post
offices between here and Fayetteville
and another for through mail. He

If the present inflation of currency
is not maintained, it will work a
hardship on citizens who create debts
during the World War II, and it will
take much more to adjust indebted
ness created by the late war.
We have not heard of any gold
mining being done recently in either
Moore or Montgomery county, but
for years the gold 'fever ran high
in both these counties. I believe
great mines of rich gold ore will be
mined in both these counties some

When people were bitten by a mad
dog or mad animal, it meant death
when I was a boy, and dealing of
being mad-cog bit was a bad dream.
An effective cure has been fourd for

your dogs vaccinated and save
trouble.
