Friday is the date set by the
committee when the best slogan
for Scotland Neck will be chosen,
and the prizes awarded.
Some short pithy, snappy, east
ly remember motto, such as eve
extend the glad hand Of vel
come,' or Scotland Neck, a
town Of comfort'' or "why look
further, happiness, peace and
plenty abound here.'' These are
but suggestions Coin the best
you can, and let us have slo-
gan that will ring for years
throughout the state and south.
The Commonwealth has offer
ed one dollar, not for it's intrinsic
value but as something to attain
to.
The Board Of Trade has suppli-
mented the offer with ten dollars,
which will be paid into the Red
Cross, as the winners contribu-
ton, in the event the winner is a
member Of the Red Cross. This
will aid two purposes.
There should be at least fifty
contributions, for any person can
send in as many as they desire.
When the right slogan is found
it will be painted on the municipal
water tank opposite the depot, tc
show the incomer, the visitor te
our town what manner Of people
we are.

The plan is on foot for a great

the entire membership together,
so that all may have part III the
work that the whole people have
set as a goal for this town to
accomplish.
While it is pleasant to think OF
the honor it is to be Unidentified
with work that so many noble
women have given up their lives
to bring TO perfection; a work
that governments have found it
impossible to perform it must not
be forgotten that it will mean sa-
crifce, and thi we must all be
prepared to make.
The names Of new members to
be added to the long list Of yes

an, Mr.. Sam A. Dunn, Mr.. Paul
Fenner, Mr.. Joe Maggid, Mr.. Pey-
ton Keel, MIR. Percy Raspberry and
Mr.. J. Baron and Mr.. M. Maggld.

Another Old Idle Mine
Soon To Be Worked

The Pay Rock at Silver Plume
is another of the old idle mines to
be rehabilitated in the near future
by a newly organized company.
The early history of this prop
erty augurs much for its future
success, the mine being among
the biggest and best producers of
a silver-lead-zinc product that was
worth from $50 to $1,000 per ton.
With the running of the Ashby
tunnel the former owners seem
to have gotten lost in their lowest
workings because of the immense
size of the vein, and were un-
successful in locating the ore re.
serves altho they were continuous
from grass roots down to depth
of 600 feet, the lowest workings
in the mine.
The new owners intend cross
cutting from the main drift to in
tersect both the foot and hanging
walls, when it is confidently ex-
pected to encounter the old ore
chutes in depth, when the wonted
produc ion of the mine may be
looked for.
