The Numeroos Demands for Alfalfa Seed
Embarrass Ur. Ueacham. j
Statesville Landmark, Jaly th. .
A few weeks ago F, T. Meach-
am, superintendent of the State
farm, gave notice through the
Landmark that a small quantity
of al fa 'fa seed would be furnish
ed farmers free of cost for experi
mental purposes. Mr. - Meach
am's idea was that a few neigh
boring farmers would apply for
the seed. But lo and behold!
the days went by applications
began to come an from j all over
the State. Prorn Cherokee "o
Currituck, and from Murphy to
Manteo came letters, from people
who wanted alfalfa r seed free.
Mr. Meacham was embarrassed.
He is affable and accommodating
but he had only a few seed, and
as the days of miracles are pass
ed he could not make these few
suffice for thousands. At last
account Mr. Meacham was figur
ing how to get around the-appli
cations and the requests for seed
werestill coming ict at the rate
of 30 to 40 a dav.

A portion of the old soldiers of

treated by the good people of Faith
last Wednesday, Juty 4th.

headed by the Rockwell . Cornet
Band, march to the Dolph Gaut
grove, where a rostrum had, been
erected and decorated with ever
greens and national colors forhe
speakers and seats provided for a
large audience, an ideal spot for
the ceremony that followed.
After 'an invocation -by Rev. J.
M. L. Lyerly the address of wel
come was delivered bv G. P.
Fisher. Mr. Fisher called atten
tion to the fact that one of the
first re:unions after the war was
held at Faith, and since that time
it had become a custom on each
returning 4th of July to hold sim-
lar services. It is no new thing
or the. people of Faith to enter
tain the old soldiers, but a mauir
festation of their appreciation of
he veterans' services and sacri-
nces, a loyal and constant devo-
ion to their welfare and comfort.
The response was delivered byj
Rev. J, M. L. Lyerly, who spoke
n high terms of the veterans, and
the pleasure it gave t he visitors to
accept ofr'the hospitality of -the
citizens of Faith.
J. C, Lingle, chairman of the
committee, introduced Rev. R. E.
ighbor, pastor of the First Bap
tist r dhurch at ' Salisbury. Revi4
eighbor took the floor and gave
a good account of himself. He
prefaced his remarks by statins
bhe arrangement made with the
committee, declaring that he was
unable to do much ' more than
preach, and this he did. He said
his subject was the "Great Decla
ration of Independence," the one
rnade on Calvary by the blessed
Lord and Savior. He spoke well,
and held the attention of his au
dience throughout. Helosed by
paying a splendid tribute to the
women of the Southland by tell
ing some appropriate war stories
that were eagerly listened to.
Prof. A. O Georgoof Crescent
followed Rev. Neighbor. Prof.
George spoke of education, the
State and Nation, and the valor
of the Confederate soldier and the
peace that weenjoy. His remarks
were closely listened to.
This.olo8ed the services in the
grove, and the crowd dispersed.

The old soldiers returned to Faith
and enjoyed a bountiful dinner
that had been prepared for them.

enjoyment of" harmless amuse

Date of Veterans' Rs union. The' Baptist
Congregation Calls Pastor,
Lexington Dispatch, July 4th. , -
Ijuthe judicial convention Mon
day, while a committee was out
hunting the nominee, Judge H.
T. Phillips was called to the floor.
He responded and expressed hia-
earnest desire to touch shoulders
with the Democrats of the dis
trict m the election of the ticket.
In the past it might have been
thought, he said, that he selfishly
desired only his own election, but
such was not the case. 'At (he
polls he always thought of his op- .
pohent and voted for himself, not :
through seltiishness at all, but be-
cause he was particular about
whom he voted for. He always
cast his ballot for the best man of
the two. which remarks called
: ... . -
brth considerable laughter.
It was incoriectly statod last
week that the annual re-union of
Confederate Veterans would be
held on the third Thursday in Au
gust. The co -rec t date :is the
first Thursday, August the 2nd. ,
It' is just a little-oyer three weeks
off. Everything that Lexington
can do to honor and to entertain
the old heroes will be done. Let
us have a record breaking crowd
his time. The entire population
is invited Hon. Theo. F, Kluttz,
of Salisbury, has been secured as
peaker for the occasion, and it is
hoped that an exceptionally pleas
ant day will be spent by the veter
ans and their friends. .
Rev. J. T. Reddick, of Rich
mond, Va. , has been called by
the. Baptist congregation-here and
will very likely accept The call
was made' last Wednesday night,
but it, is uGt known yet what de-
cismn Mr. KeaaicK win mate.
He visiied Lexington some time
ago and delivered two sermons
khat pleased the Baptist people
very much. Mr. Reddick. served
as pastor oi tne opurgeon Me-
morial Baptist church in Norfolk,
or five years, and has been' as
sistant pastoisat the First Ban-
ist in Richmond for the pasttwo
years.
A cow that gives four and ons-
half gallons of milk per day,
rom which eleven pounds of out
er are made per week, is -a very
fine cow. H. W, Leonard, of
Route 8, Tyro township; tells us
he has such a cow. She ;s of the
Guernsey stock and ie five years
old. The butter, at .twenty-five
cents, in a week foots up $2.75
and at the same rate, in a year,
this cow Would briug to its own
er $143. Our people would find
it profitable Jbo pay more atten
tion to good stock.
Last Friday the remains ef two
children of A. A. Springs, noy
of Washington, N. C, were mov
