SPECIAL TERM OF
COURT UNCERTAIN
Commissioners Ready To
Act Soon AS Available
Judge Is Found

Vance's Board of County Commits
sioners met today in called session to
consider the matter of requesting an
extra term of superior court in this
county to clear up greatly congested
criminal docket, but were unable to
say at the end of their session wheth-
or or not the special term could be
held At the present time there is no
certainty Of obtaining judge to pre-
side
The board is ready to certify jury
when the office of Governor Hoey ad
vises from Raleigh that a judge IS
available. If it can be determined tina.
a week of the November term Of mix
ed court in Northampton county can
be had, that week will be ordered
here, and Judge j. Paul Frizzelle, who
has Just closed two weeks of court in
this county, will return to preside. 1t
has not been established as yet
whether that will be possible.
The criminal court week ended with
several Jail cases untouched, and one
homicide case has been added since
then. It is estimated that the docket
at the present time contains sufficient
business to consume virtually an en-
tire week, and unless this is relieved
before the regular One-week term
early in January, it will probably be
impossible to clear the docket at that
time with a situation resulting OF
much the same character as that now

lt IS common habit among to overlook little
Things We often reach out for something big before
considering the steps that lead up to it, Oftme It IS
more profitable to thoroughly master the little jobs n
life than to stretch out something which we ere
not prepared for To overlook the little things in life
oftimes wrecked ambition disappointed in
dvidua to the extent that life never amounts to any
thing worthwhile.
Few people stop to consider what are some of the
little things in life that lifetime regret
and even total failure. Just few Sundays had
lesson in Sunday School that plainly taught us the
value Of little things The emphasis of this particular
lesson placed upon the Tongue" one the very
small members of body The tongue, though very
little, is very Important and plays major part in
life. This very small member when used properly
make US outstanding leaders of great and
the other hand when misused ruin and break
down whatever success have made Tiny though
spark Of fire may be, know that great fires,
querable fires have been started from just spark We
could make up long list of little things essential to
life yet, when msused overlooked set back
The little peanut, just an ordinary plant in the
hands of Mr.. George W. Carver, is probably the most
valuable plant of its kind little thing of course, and
would have been made valuable if it had been
overlooked Mr. Carver, of the worlds great scen
tss has proved that need go about looking here
and yonder for something big just look around and
properly the little things in our reach.
When | tempted to pass up small act of
kindness, thinking my little would do gold, I
always reminded of the song Brighten The Corner
Where You Are "Do not wait until deed of great
you may do do not wait to shed your light afar,
to the many duties you be true, Brighten
The Corner Where You Are"
