Miss Walker Woodley, who is a senior at the State College for women at Greensboro, has recovered from the measles. She will return to College after the holidays to make an effort to finish with her class. Her sister, Vyata, who is a freshman at the same college, has come home after having the measles, as she would not be allowed to do any class work for awhile. Other girls from here were under quarantine.
Miss Diayo Walker, who is in school here, was called to her home near Norman Tuesday on account of the death of her infant sister. The other twin sister died a few days before.

Miss Ruth Patterson is back in the Bank of Jackson Springs after joining others in the “styles,” being confined to her home with a case of measles. Miss Patterson lost all hope in winning the Hupmobile in the Subscription Campaign but has worked same while at home.
Commissioner Haynes of the Internal Revenue Department of Washington called on A.B. Coltrane, director of the Federal prohibition Forces in this State for five of his best men to stamp out bootlegging in a Pennsylvania city some time ago and, according to newspapers, they held up their name for efficiency and made a wholesale of arrests. J.L. Moore of Kannapolis and L.G. Trexler of Salisbury were among those assisting in the raids. Both men are known here, where t hey have made their headquarters some in 1922, in cleaning up blockading in Moore, Montgomery and Richmond counites. The farmers not only received aid from the Federal officers, but the County Officials, in completely stamping out the whiskey business in this section, where there is much woodland to be developed.
Misses Agnes Graham and Birdie Thomas, with L.T. Graham, wen to Clio, S.C., Sunday, to attend the funeral services of A.W. Currie, an aged man who was found dead on his farm near Clio, Saturday.
Several from here attended the hog killing demonstration at Pinehurst Tuesday and were very well pleased with some parts of the demonstrations and lectures, and we feel like it was beneficial to the farmers in some ways.
