date being set for Monday, April 8.
The books OF registration have been
open for several weeks and most of
the qualified electors have enrolled. So
far, there have been no announce
ments by candidates for any Of the
places on council but there will prob
ably be number. Of candidates out
before the lists are closed on March
az. one week before the election.
This year there will be no nominating

the past for this old form of nominat-
ing was abandoned last year. The
candidates will now come out them
selves and run III q primary. While
Mayor Womble has made no state

decides to ask for another term.
The Baptist congregation which is
growing under the pastorate of its
popular minister, the Rev. ]. w. Guy,
Will hold an interesting service on
next Thursday evening in connection
with the regular prayer meeting when

on this occasion. by DR.. John 4.

terest to the services. The deacons
to be installed are; 8. w. Wheeler, F..

Quite q lot of fertilizer is being
shipped here and hauled out by the

1t was said that there would be little
or none used. However. the quantity
used hereabouts will be considerably
reduced. The farmers are steadily
at work getting ready for planting.
The usual large acreage in grain will
be sowed and about the same acreage
IN cotton as was put in last season.
The lumber industry Is fourishing
in this section at present. A larger
amount is being shipped from here
than In q number of years. Two ex-
