Hard Times Times are so "hard In our town that it is almost impossible to get a seat at the picture fhow. I had to stand in line exactly 1 hour and 24 minutes the other night^when I went to see "Pie CrUSt." \ " Yes sir ree. We are having hard times these days. Just think of it! Old man Jones had to trade his old radio in for a new one and the cash difference was only 2 hundred dollars. Had conditions been a little bit "easier," his old loud speaker would have been satisfactory. I don't see htrW we are going to stand these hard times. Mr. Smith was so pressed for cash last month, he had to trade in his 19 and 29 model Buick for a 19 and 31 Cadillnc. As it stands now, he has only 2 cars, 1 for himself and 1 for his \yife, but if things keep going from worse to worser, it looks like he will have to get a car for each of his 3 children. I don't understand why hard times have to visit our country so often.

An expedition of the Pontifical Bible Institute of Jerusalem, excavated ruins of a city hitherto unknown to science in which all houses and buildings were covered by u large layer of ashes. Investigators, taking note of relics found, assumed the place was burnwl in the bronxe age and never has been inhabited since. The relics included broken pottery, a few vases, and flint instruments. Among the ruins was an ancient wall .built partly of stone and partly of bricks. The ruins are located in the eastern plain of the Jordan about six kilometers north of the Dead Sea. They were located quite by accident when members of a Pontifical Instistitute party found some Hint objects ?iid potsheards where their tents were located. * > Stuck in Chimney; Crook Calls for Help " Chadds Ford, Pa., Jan. 2.?A burglar who tried to enter the .house of John 1). *5chiedt here t>y way of a chimney ,got stuck, early today, and was forced to call upon the occupants of the house for help.

The drug stores are feeling the pinch of hard times. Their business has been so heavy they have had to hire extra help, and the folks are calling for banana frip-pees now instead of smalf lemonades, and it simply takes more time and money to serve the former. They have also observed that since hard times arrived, the sale of Hp-sticks and paints and rouges have doubled. That means extra expense to the boss. 1 don't know where these hard times are leading us to. They have forced the folks to go around in their r.ice new cars nearly all the time, especially on Sabbath Days, and it is almost impossible to find a parking place . . . since hard times got here.

C., Jan. 4.?The brutal slaying of Alfred Elyson, aged filling station operator, was revealed today when neighbors found the old man hacked to death at his filling station, four miles from Laurinburg. Residents of the community, noticing the filling station had not opened at the accustomed hour, entered the building to investigate. They found the body, the head split open by two blows with the blade of an axe and crushed by another blow with the blunt side of the weapon. Robbery, it appeared, had been the motive of the slayer. An open cash drawer in the filling station indicated a search had been made for money. Elyson, said to have been a native of Iowa, came here several months ago and opened his place of business. He lived alone and slept in the rear of his filling station.
