Towe, Jr., local boy and member of one of the county's oldest ' families,11 is the force behind three of the town's outstanding businesses. Mr. Towe's interests revolve a round the automotive industry and the motoring public. . They include the Towe Motor, Company, Plymouth and Chrysler dealers, The Hertford Oil Company, distributors of Sinclair Products, and Joe and Bill's Service Station, one of Hertford's most at tractive and modern automotive ser vice centers. Moving his service station recently from the site of the town's first ser vice station at Market and Academy Streets, Joe,and Bill's is now located at a most strategic point, on' United States Highway IT and just across Dobb Street from his motor com pany. The oil company dispenses the famous line of Sinclair products which his service station handles; gasoline, motor oil, fuel oil, greasing compounds and other Sinclair pro ducts. The agency services several Sin clair stations in this district. Mr. Towe is the active head of all three of these businesses, but has managers operating each under him. Roulac Webb manages the Towe Mo tor Company, and two brothers, Lawrence and Martin, are associated with him in the service station and oil company enterprises. A sister, Miss Mary Towe, is em ployed in the offices of the service station and oil company, and Miss Nettie Lee Gregory is bookkeeper in the Towe Motor Company. Handling as well as Sinclair Pro-, ducts, the famous lines of United States Tires and Tubes and United States Batteries, the service station specializes in certified greasing and washing with all the latest aids to auto service that now has become a specific field. A splendid assort ment of automobile accessories is to be found in the new Joe and Bill's Service Station, as well as courteous, capable attention from the station's employees. The Towe Mptor Company keeps road service available at all hours for stranded motorists and one of the company's certified mechanics is sent along to make the necessary repairs on the spot if possible and speed the traveler on his way. Mr. Towe, who was born and has always lived in Perquimans County, is active and interested in the civic affairs of the town.

TEXT: " "Ye "shall . . . unto the utter of the earth.- (Lesson Text: Matthew 28:16-20.) it is neculiarlv fitting that the six months'- aeries of lessons based on the Gospel of Matthew should id with the lesson., wo have this week. It is the climatic lesson of th entire series a challenge to those who have studied the life of jesua to do .something about it to answer the great commission oy pui tin tha teaching and example of Jesus to work in our lives. The eleven- disciples (Judas now being dead) and probably about five hundred others (as referred to by Paul in I Corinthians 15:6) gathered on a certain ' mountain in Galilee, probably three or four weeks after the resurrection, at the place and probably at the time specified by Jesus when he told the two Marys who were at the tomb to tell his dis ciples to meet him in Galilee. There on the mountain-top, Jesus gave to the waiting apostles and the other believers gathered there then orders as to their course of action j in the future. In the beginning he affirmed his sovereignty. "All pow er is given onto me in heaven and "in earth." During his ministry, be had shown his authority over disease, demons, and even death itself. He had proved his authority over the forces of nature; he had proved his authority to forgive sin and, now, after his resurrection, he asserts the authority which he has both in heav en and in earth. Then, in the words of Dr. H. G Moore: "The Master sketched fout features for his world-wide and age long program. The first was en lightenment. 'Go, ye therefore' and let your light shine in every part oi the world. The second is evangel ism. 'Make disciples of all the na tions' not only informing every crea ture about Christ but leading every body to Christ and to acceptance oi him as Saviour from sin to a good life here and the life unending here after. "The third is enlistment. Those who are evangelized fhust be united in the work and worship of the Lord. Hence the importance of 'baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of fiie Son, andof the Holy Phost ..." "The fourth is edification. Having informed about Christ and led to Christ and enlisted for Christ, it is our duty to build up in Christ. Hence the long and invaluable course of training in the knowledge of Christ and obedience to his holy will: 'Teaching them to observe all things wha'tsoever I have commanded you'." Then the Master gives the glorious promise: "And lo (remember). I airi with you always, even unto the end of the world." The task of winning the lost to Christ would be too great, for the average Christian, ' would be well-nigh impossible, were it not for .the glorious promise that he will be with us always, strengthening, com forting and caring for his own. The most outstanding feature of modern Christianity, to our mind, is the great mass of believers who have no active urge to personal evangel istic work. Churches, as units, are more active than ever in missionary enterprise, but, of the individual membership, how few are proclaim ing Christ to those with whom daily contact is made? How few fully realize they are 'ambassadors on be- nalx of (Jnrist to every unsaved man and woman. Church members, professing to believe that eternal life rests upon acceptance of Jesus, often i neglect or are too timid to approach CROPS USE L0ZE08 f V U1J.CU1, XI, J AGENTS ' -J- , , WINFALL, N. C. even their own loved tones! II every Christian had a burning . reality of this truth, would any be content to pass unbelieving souls; daily with no effort to tell them of the life-insur ing message? ; vk: Christianity needs . the ,: individual evangelism of every follower. Un believers and f o r ra a 1 exceptants must be reached and saved one by one the world will not vbe won in bulk! Nineteen time we have a record of the Saviour himself enter ing into personal discussions with only one human ' being' : f to an au dience. It has been pointed out by one writer that every soul could be saved in two years it etery profess ing Christian reached and converted one unbeliever, .each year. . The need for individual evangelistic work is greater than it ever has been and the responsibility for unsaved millions rests on inactive Christians.

Southern1 States. As a result this ' crop was treated somewhat as an orphan child. Soils have bec6me depleted of available plant foods, yields have decreased, and profits have dwindled. The Virginia Experiment Sta tion, after conducting experimental work on peanuts on a broad scale, has reached several conclusions with reference to the management of tha peannt crop which should, be of interest to every grower. They are as follows: , ( J 1. Lime should be used to correct, acidity and provide the necessary calcium and magnesium. . ' 2. A systematic crop rotation ; ; that includes at least one legume .' as a green manure crop in order to balance the removal of nutrients, ' add nitrogen to the soil, and main . lin the organic matter, should be followed S. A program sheuld be provided J for winter cover crops to reduce the loss of nutrients by leaching and .' furnish winter gracing for live .' stock. i " t , i' 4. If peanuts are grown on light , sandy soils', 600 to 600 'pounds of a . 2-8-10 fertilizer per acre should be used. On ' ''soils ,; '.where;'; a proper rotation includes at least one green ' manure fchp, the application of 600 to flOO" pounds, of 0-10-10 fertilizer ' will be" sufficient. - ' 6.
