ton to come back and meet at old Tir-
zah with former friends and acquaint-
greeting for them. People of Tirzah
and the surrounding country are look
ing forward to "Home Coming Day"
with the keenest interest.
Five Women Enroll.
Perhaps political interest is more
apathetic on the part of TirZah women
than it is among women at any other
precinct in the county. Up to Satur-
day only five women had enrolled here
to vote in the primary election and
some doubt was expressed as to
whether or not the five who were en-
rolled would vote. Total enrolment is
about 100. TirZah could enroll twice
that number it is stated if the women
were sufficiently interested to sign up.
To Have Man Principal.
Tirzah will have & man principal in
charge of the school at this place
another year, Prof. Austen Of Green
Vile, having been elected principal. He
has accepted. Mrs. Crawford Dunlap
of the Ogden section has been elected
assistant teacher and has accepted.
For the past year Mrs. Dunlap has
been compulsory school attendance Of
ficer for York county.
Revival Besins.
Rev. Dr. w. II. Miley, evangelist of
the Presbyterian church began a re-
vival service in Trzah Presbyterian
church Sunday which is to be con-
tinued throughout this week, Rev. DIR.
Miley is accompanied by Rev. j. 7.
Hooker, his choir director. The initial
service yesterday morning was attend
ed by a large congregation and it is
believed that congregations through
out the week will be all that could be
expected in attendance.
Won't Eat Carp.
John S. Sadler, well known farmer
and fisherman of Tirzah won't eat
carp. He says that carp are not fit to
eat, no matter how they are prepared
and no matter what anybody says to
the contrary. Mr.. Sadler and others of
Tirzah who go fishing in the back
waters above the Catawba Power Com
pany's dam near here several times
week continue to catch lots Of fish.
Whenever the catch is carp Mr.. Sadler
tells the other members Of the party
that they are welcome to his part He

they are good sport; but as food hsh
they are simply not fit. Mr.. Sadler
has been catching some good bass with
a hook occasionally in the Catawba
backwaters and the bass are con-
sidered the finest eating fish that are
caught in this section.
Good Crop Prospect.
While of course nobody is prepared
to say what the boil weevil is going TO
do for it, if the wecvil doesn't do great
damage Tirzah farmers have n fine
cotton prospect and believe they will
make a good crop. All of them are
aware, however, that the crop Is young
yet anu tlldI IlldHy lHiAbo S'''i '.DDN''
to It between now and gathering time.
Farmers say that the boil weevil has
not been so numerous apparently in
the past week and that in fact they
are rather hard to find. All of them
are pursuing a policy Of picking up
weevil-punctured squares where they
can find them and also of picking boil
weevils where they can find the weevil.
Few of the farmers of Tirzah favor
the use of calcium arsenate in fighting
the pest. The corn cop while young Is
looking good just at this stage and
observers say that there is now ap-
parently as much corn planted as
there was at this time last year.
Trzah Picnic.
The next big event in Tirzah follow
ing Home Coming Day" at TirZah A.
r. p. church will be the annual Tlrzah
agricultural picnic at which Hon. j.
Skottowe Wannamaker, president OF
the American Cotton Association VIII

nent cotton association officials will
also be present. The date has not
been agreed upon yet but that will be
decided in a short while. TirZah folks
want the public to distinctly under
