Four Leaf Clover Club
Under the direction of Mrs. Walter Denmark and Miss Katherine K. Parks, the Four Leaf Clover Club met Monday in its regular sewing class and had a most enjoyable and instructive hour. This class was organized by the Community Service and is making rapid strides in advancement. It is planning a little Christmas party to be enjoyed by the Borden cotton mill community.

Will Give Play
The Girls Scouts “Red Rose Troop” of Bests Station will give a little play some time during the holidays, the proceeds to go towards buying their uniforms. The preliminary work is now going on and much enthusiasm is being shown among the members.

Trying to Decide
The Community Chorus will stage a play some time after the first of the year and the program committee is now at work trying to decide on a play that can be staged in a most pleasing manner by the local talent. “Pinafore” and “The Rosemaden” are being considered, both of which are splendid productions.

Got Contract
The Dortch Electric has received the contract for wiring of the Fremont Mill, which was burned last November and the re-building of which is nearing completion.

Selling Some
Onys Pointex week is proving popular at the Weil store and many of the ladies in the community are taking advantage of the opportunity to get these fine hoses at reduced prices.

Good Picture
The Acme was filled with amusement lovers Monday night where ‘Doug” Fairbanks, the acrobatic comedian, was cavorting in “Robin Hood.” This is one of the best pictures he has appeared in and proved a feature of no mean worth.

Looks Like the Mint
One of the windows in the Miller Drug Store looks like a section of the min, a big jar jammed full of money standing in the center of it. Brand new one dollar bills to be given away by the Atlantic Coast Realty Co. at its big sale today are conspicuous in the enclosure and our guess is that the lucky person will receive about $26.26.

Wise Merchants
Many of the local merchants have already spoken for their space in the Christmas edition the News will issue on December 18th, and those who have not seen the ad man should do so at once. This edition will go out in the rural sections in plenty of time for the merchants to reap a golden harvest in holiday advertising. Reserve your space now and get the cream.

Having Them Taken
Photographer Clement is a busy man these days, the High School building being his regular rendezvous. The Sophomores, Juniors and Freshmen are keeping him at work and in a few weeks the results of his efforts will show splendid photographs of these sterling groups. The photographs will be inserted in the Annual, which will be a work of art this year.

Market Closed
The tobacco warehouse will close tomorrow and remain so until Monday that the buyers and employees (rest of sentence omitted). The last few days have been busy ones at both houses and there has been a large mount of the weed sold at an average of around 25 cents. Farmers are wearing a look of satisfaction and the merchants are getting the benefits.

Nothing Plus Zero
Monday passed without the Red Cross office adding a single member to the list for the drive now on for membership. Some of the best sections of the city have not been visited by the solicitors, but they will be combed before the week is over. For the information of those who will and want to give, the Red Cross Office is opposite the Court House.

Plenty of Cotton
A large amount of cotton was sold on the local market yesterday and the price is still holding up, 35 cents being paid as an average.

Some Farmers
Our rustic friends were very much in evidence yesterday on the streets and in the stores. Most of them combined business with pleasure, bringing in a load of cotton or tobacco, and then enjoying the barbecue and speaking. It was a big day for the farmer, and Goldsboro accorded him its usual cordial welcome.

No Paper Friday
The News will not issue a paper Friday morning as its employees will be given a holiday Thanksgiving. Merchants wishing advertising space in the Saturday’s issue are urged to have copy ready early Friday morning.

Thanksgiving Service
