And let me stop here long enough
to warn every one of what has re-
Gently happened near Oxford, as it
might also happen in Vance. A fell
low went around several weeks ago
collecting $1.5O for a beautiful bed
livered by the twenty-eighth of last
month, but that day has not yet ar

No, 1 did not get caught by him, but
a lot of folks near here did.
| spoke of some books and pocket
testamentS in my last column, that
papa had left on hand when he died.
Some of the books are sermons by
Moody some are stories, and so forth.
Mama wants me to distribute those
that are left, a hund1 I'd or two, or
maybe more. So if any one of you
wants one or more of them, please
let me know, and l will see that you
get it. They are free.

Mrs. j. c. Hayes, of Route 2, has been
sick for two weeks, but is somewhat
improved. Hope she will soon get out
again.

day night, at which time Mr.. and Mrs.

The following was handed me to
go in the news columns of the Dis
patch, but | have purloined and mis-

County Wide Teachers Meeting.
The fourth of the six monthly meet
ings of the Granville County Teachers
was held in the Oxford high school
building Saturday morning, Decem-
Der 10, at 10 o'clock.
Three of the county committees
made their report, First, the legisla-
tive committee, which substantiated
practically the entire program, that
was sponsored by the N. G. E. A. pre-
sident. First, the twelfth grade; sec
ond, the adoption of the retirement
law; and third the restoration of
salaries
The tenure committee reported the
need of longer term of office, but the
adoption of more needed legislation
at the present time, was apparent
The third was the library commit

perintendent.
DR.. Boshart spoke on vocational
guidance in the public schools. DR..
John Bum, of Murfreesboro and

been a teacher himself realizes the
spirit which should dominate the en-

John Bum is the same great and i'm
pressive speaker who was on the pro-
gram after the banquet Of the State
Baraca-Philathca convention held at
Oxford last spring. That was the time
your Elliott G. Shaw and myself sat
