Threshing is about to commence in
this county. Up to this writing we
have heard of no machines which are
running but there several which
will start up in few days There is
SO much shocked grain that threshing
can be commenced much earlier than
usual. The people are all anxious to
know what the yield is going to be and
we possible tell them something
about it next week.
I, L L.,
the police court Sunday afternoon
when Marshall Selbe and Sheriff
DeBoer rounded up bunch Of crap
shooters who were enjoying game
in a box car south of the depot. There
was about, dozen of them in the
bunch and they We're given fines and
costs which amounted to ten dollars
each. Practically all of them We're
transients- The bunch of harvest la
borers which have been here this year
have been more than usually quiet and
this round up will show the rest of
them that it is not to their best inter
est to pull off anything here.
The big linotype machine in this
office has been doing some emergency
work this week for the newspapers in
adjoining counties. The delinquent
tax list is one of the hardest and most
complex propositions which comes up
in the print shop work but the list for
Cove county and for Graham county
were nicely handled on our machine,
yet it was some job and one could see
figures with his eyes shut and in his
dreams after having handled them
following setting the one for
selves. The linotype machine in print
shop is like a tractor farm Be
fore you buy one you can hardly see
how you can afford it but after you
get one you wonder how on earth YOU
ever got along without it.
1t is earnestly requested that all of
the members of the Presbyterian
Church and Sunday School make a
careful search in their homes for song
books, especially the ones used in the
Sabbath School and return them to
the church, for, out of two hundred
books recently purchased there are
less than fifty now in the church.
These books are all branded with a
rubber stamp property of the
church but have been taken home and
forgotten, and the church requests
each one to make special search in
your home and to bring them back to
the church, as we have not enough to
go around
Thanking you for the same,
Yours truly,
r r. Wf1sov,
