turned home last week from Ocean
View and Buckroe Beach, where they
spent two weeks. While they were
away the members ofHoly Innocents
parish filled the pantries Of the rec

Mr.. d. Y. Cooper, who probably
knows as much about general farm
ing conditions in Vance county as
anybody, thinks their will be the
biggest crop of corn in the county
this year as has been gathered in
several years, and that it will come
largely from the late planting. A
number of leading farmers of the
county have also been heard to ex-
press the same opinion within the
past two or three weeks. The early
| planting suffered much from drought.
while the late corn was favored by
much better seasons.
Mr.. j. c. Kittrell, secretary OF the
! Chamber of Commerce, is now in
correspondence with a big Philadel-

resentative Of the Philadelphia con-
Germ will be here right soon to make
a thorough investigation of the mat
ter and to look after securing a fran
chise. This is something that is bad
/ ly needed here, and our people will
no doubt give it the glad hand. 1t
I is hardly expected that the company
would experience any difficulty in
securing franchise.
