the entire week and there will not
be a djl moment during tire en

Many will g o down and
stay for several days, others will
go and come each day.
The Paper Festival should be
a big affair and should become an
annual affair. It can be made
into one of the biggest things

ever seen
Other Cities have their annual
event and there is no reason but
but that Savannah should have
h. rs.

Plant Trucks
Are Coming
It was a welcome sight to see
two large plant trucks on the
streets of Pembroke this morning
It means that the time oi the
year for the flow of “yankte mon
ey" to our section had about ar
rived.
While it wdl be a few days be
lore any plants begin to move
from this immediate area, still the
trucks ate here and more of them
on the way. At the present time
the Sims Plant Company are
moving a large number of plants
from their Florida farm at An
thony, Fla.
The plant business has grown
to be our major industry in this
section. It brings in many dollars
i i money' an J provides employ
ment for everyone, big, little old
and young, a ! so both white and
colored.
Business wil pick up in every
walk of life just as soon as the
plants begin to move. It looks
like a good year for the growers.
Last year was not so good, but
the prosp ets for this year are
very bright.
We have several large growers
of plants here, beside a number
of small growers that have got
ten themselves together in a plant
exchange and have their own of
ficers to sell for them all co-oper
atively.

School Here To
Run Eight Months
It will be of interest to to the
patrons of the Bryan County
High School to know that the
school here, both (grammar and '
high school will operate only eight |
months this year.
At one time it was hoped that '
the school would be able to run
full nine months, but due to lack
of funds it has been decided to
operate only eight months. Last
year the school faced the same i
crisis as this vear and the patrons
were appealed to,for additional
funds and they were pr wided and
the entire school operated the '
full nine months, but no effort is
to be made this year and the
school will close after eight
months operation.
It certainly looks like a shame
to us to have the schools close
down for the lack of funds. It
appears that there is mone e
nough for everything else, that
there could be enough to operate
the schools.
But as long as the people sit
idly by and do nothing about it,
just that long will the schools be
a political football and we will
have shorten terms of school.

The Revival services closed on
Thursday’ night, but we believe
the revival wi l continue. Brother
Latimer has done a great work in
the commuiiity in briiigin., power
I ful messages to the congregations
We feel that the tone oi Ihechur
ch has been improved, and there
is a desite on the part of man to
make their Christian life more
postive Certainly we have re
ceived much encouragement, and
that itself will had to greater ef
fort. God has been brought very
close to our hearts spiritual things
have come lo mean more and we
trust we shall how out gratitude
to God our Heavenly Father b\
keeping the lire aglow on the al
tar of our hearts.
We thank everyone who iiad a

I that any and every service rin
dered was rendered wiliingh, and
1
। that great blessing came to those
j who offered such help. The servi
ces were well attended: we were
blessed in having line weather,
not one service was effected
by rain. Now will come the real
test; now we shall show what the
meeting really accomplished in
the way we meet temptation, in
the manner in which we pray and
i study God’s word; in our church
attendance and our willingness to
do our part as individuals and as
a church in pushing the interests
of Christ’s Kingdom May our
fellowship be sweet in the Lord.
"And if our fellowship below with
Jesus is so sweet, what«hieghts of
rapture shall we know when round
His Throne we meet?"
May the blessings of God be on
every heart and home in this
' community.
Applewhite To
Open Metro Inn
The news that Mr. and Mrs.
George Applewhite will open up
and manage Metro Inn on the
Coastal Highway on April Ist
will be of interest to their many
friends throughout this section.
For the past several years they
have operated a place near Jencks
I Bridge on route 80 and have
made many friends. They know
how to operate a first class place
and we are sure that the people
near Ways will give Mr and Mrs.
Applewhite a cordial welcome to
that section.
The place they now operate
will be continued in business by
Mr. and Mrs. Tai Smith who
have been with the Applewhites
for a year or more.
After a three months stay in
Pembroke, Mr. and Mrs. Al
Bartnick left for their home in
Ithica, N. Y. Sunday.
