More Than Two Dozen Cases Come Up In County Court Over twenty-five cases, most ly concerned with drunken driv ing, possession for sale, assault and hit and run driving were tried in Person’s county court last week, Judge W. I. Newton pre sided and T. F. Davis was solici tor. Two defendants, Charles Pierce and Dezbee Cannady, both Neg roes, were bound over to Sup erior court on serious charges of assault, and several others, both Negro and white, were given sen tences of twelve months or more on the, roads, or let off with stiff fines and suspended sentences. There were a large number of continuances from previous courts and a few cases on the curent calendar were continued until the November and Decem ber terms. Only one woman was tried in the court and only two defendants were found not guilty of the charges brought against them. Pays Visit To t' School Library t ’ Dr. W. H. Woody, who was in Roxboro for a few days, visited the Woody Memorial library of the Bethel Hill high school this past week and expressed him self as being well pleased with the growth and appearance of the library. He also said that he planned to extend the shelves in the library to the ceiling and add more books. The present shelves, on three sides of the room, have been practically filled with books which Dr. Woody has donated during- the past several years. Due to Dr, Woody’s generosity Bethel Hill high school now has one of the largest and best coun ty school libraries in the state,* it is said. In addition to its book collection the library also has subscriptions to the best maga zines including Readers Digest, Popular Mechanic, National Geo graphic, Nature Study, Life, Har pers and Atlantic Monthly. iplf » INVESTMENTS on the Firing Line Times like these lend dramatic emphasis to the fact that investments require experienced management.

Dealer sales that are sure to result will be assist- | ed by colorful store displays and \ national billboard showings. The first newspaper advertisement appeared during the week of 1 October 23rd, the start of a sche dule that continues through De cember. ] Famous personalities from many fields are featured in the series. The sports world is rep resented by such figures as Grantland Rice and Frank Ful ler, Bendix Air Race Champion. Outstanding Hollywood stars such PEBBOW COUNTY TDfßfl -BOXBOBO, It as Bette Davis, Loretta Young, Errol Flynn, and David Niven play a large part in the Chester field campaign, while the glamour and beauty of the American girl is typified by Miss Phil Ofer who was chosen “Cotton Queen of 1939”. However, the most unusual and striking advertisements in this new Chesterfield series are the three all-text announcments that every smoker will be keenly in terested in reading. The adver tisements are entitled “Toabcco opens doors to fields where peo ple live, work and achieve,” “There’s no great mystery about cigarette tobaccos,” and “It was hit or miss in grandfather’s day.” Not only are they fine examples of clear writing, original layout and good typography—they also contain new and interesting in formation about cigarette manu facture. They bear convincing proof that Chesterfield’s leading position among America’s cigar ettes is due to the highest kind of manufacturing standards back ed up by the right kind of sell ing methods. In every way the advertisements in the new ser ies give excellent support to the statemnt “Make your next pack Chesterfields you can’t buy a better cigarette.” o SCOUTS MEET AT COMMUNITY HOUSE Troop 49, Boy Scout of Ameri ca, held its regular weebly meet ing in the Community house, with Lewis Wagstaff, patrol lead er of the Eagle patrol in charge of the program.
