Distrusted History

'He had an obsession that his
tory couldn't be trusted, and was
always saying that the men who
wrote the books rarely told the
facts. He said, for one thing, that
the Pilgrims hadn't made their first
landing in Plymouth at all, but in
Providence, and that it was a shame
the thing wasn't corrected.
"Now this was many years ago,
and, although all of us knew in a
vague way that the first landing
had been made in Provincetown,
the histories we read in the schools
kept on telling Of the landing in
Plymouth-as if this had been the
first and only one-and people just
let it go at that. The thing had
gained such wide circulation in the

Of the giant memorial monument
which towers over the village
On the day l visited Provincetown
the weather had cleared, and the
lofty monument jutted into the sky
like some colossal pin planted by a
giant hand to keep the village from
slipping into the sea. About it clus-
tered the community which virtually
comprises the "claw" at the very tip
Of the cape. Far to the north there
was hint in the heavens of the
nor'wester which, on the next day,
was to batter to pieces big schooner
on a nearby shoal, but for the time
the water stretched away to the
south as unbroken as glass.
BY an interesting coincidence the
time Of the year conceded, with only
a few days difference, with that
when the Pilgrims, after landing at
Provincetown, were exploring the
coast for a place at which to estab-
fish permanent settlement; and the
weather, from the records, was also
about what it was then.
Provincetown lies at the extreme
end Of narrow neck Of land which
is scarcely more than three miles
across at its widest point, and as
the train swung down this narrow
trail it passed among giant sand
hills, which must have resembled

"Well, after everybody had shaken

Provincetown was to 60 aboard the

as it was about ii degrees below zero

No Quarrel Bet,Ceen Them

In justice to Plymouth and
Provincetown, and to correct re-
ports circulated in New England
land other parts Of the country, It
Hihould be explained here that there
fs nothing Of jealousy between the
1.-TWO towns in preparing for the COM
Ing celebration. Of course, both
are New England towns, and there
fore by inclination and heritage
tenacious of their rights and tradi-
tons.
Plymouth holds nothing more
ncred than it's reputation as the
home of the forefathers" and
would not yield that distinction at
any cost. Provincetown is equally
Hgilant, as it proved recently when
It caused the Legislature of Massa-
chusetts to give it a separate appro-
pnatlon for its part in the celebra-
ton and which it is continuing tc
prove by it's request to Congress for
separate Federal encouragement.
But, having won what each consid-
ers its just share in the anniversary,
The two towns are perfectly willing
10 work side by side in preparing for
The big celebration which is to be-
gin some time next year and last
possibly, twelve months.
The curious bit of Historical fic-
'lon' which the celebration will
lnelp to dispel is that the Pilgrim
3sathers made their first landing at
plymouth and that they wrote there

on the wind-swept coast.

PHILLIPS SALE
ATTRACTS MANY

John W. Phillips Company's big
July Clearance Sale is attracting
many buyers, and the first day of the
sale found the cash register with
$3.50 gross more than the first day of
the sale year ago, according to
Manager Sparks.
The closing date for the big event
is not announced, but the house is
rapidly clearing of the immense
stocks. The additional employees in
the store this week helping out the
regular force includes Mrs. Luther
Sparks, Mrs. Throgmorton, Mrs. Mel
lie Jordon, and Misses Etna Scott,
Critic Bowers, Valice Brisendine, Lii
lie Gibson, Garnet Ivie, Mary Phillips
and Grace Brundridge.
An extraordinary coincidence in
connection with the sale Monday was
the presence of silk salesman from
the east selling goods for fall, the
wholesale price being the same as the
Phillips store was then selling in the
sale at retail. Mr.. Sparks is also
buying domestic this week at Il "
cents for fall offering, and is selling
it in this sale for 20 cents.

FARMERS BUSY
WORKING OUT

Henry County farmers have been
mighty busy the past week working
out their crops, and they are looking
fairly well now. The Saturday
crowd in Paris was small, increasing
only late in the day.
The tobacco crop will probably
Guido all previous records in this
county unless something unforeseen
should develop, notwithstanding the
growth is uneven and irregular, the
result of the late planting season due
TO excessive spring rains. Quite q
good deal of tobacco has been topped
but the greater part of the GRIP will
stand another week or two without
topping, and the plant is shaped well,
looking vigorous, and should make
an excellent yield and quality.
