THE ROANOKE NEWS, THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1893. THE ROANOKE NEWS. THURSDAY MAY 25, 1893. A FATAL DREAMER. HE MUST STOP EATING LATE HEARTY SUPPERS. RINGWOOD. ' Mr. L. Vinson and wife and Mr: H. S. Harrison and wife and Miss Lucy Garrett, Lave returned home from Hal eigb, where they have ' been attending the Episcopal convention. Mr. VV. C. Whitaker lectured here last Sunday on Sunday school organiza tion. The grain crop will be short. Mr. L. Vinson has 12 acres of corn knee high. Mr. C. A. Williams has 180 younfc turkeys which ho will utilize in bis 30 acre tobacco crop as wonners. I am pleased to learn of the brilliant beginning my young friend Mr. T. C. Harrison of your city is making at tho bar. I heard a citizen of the county say one of his efforts in the recent case at Halifax last week was fine and would have done credit to our oldest and most gifted lawyers. Miss Bessie Proctor's school closed on Tuesday with a nice ice cream supper, music &c. There are more young turkeys in one mile of this place than any other section in the State. 0. E. M. PANACEA SPRINGS, Col. Bellis, of Littleton, passed away to his final rest last Saturday after several months suffering with that fatal malady heart failure. Another Richmond has entered the field for school superintendent in this county and we wish to call the attention of the commissioners to the fact. Mr. Whit Johnston, of Littleton, son of Col. Sterling Johnston. He graduated three or four years ago with the first honors. He is a progressive young farmer and would fill the office with great credit to himself and the county. Invitations are out for the school and college commencements and soon the old folks at home will be filling up the larder, looking over the poultry yard to see if the chickens are large enough to broil and that the dairy will have plenty milk and butter and the garden will yield an abundant supply of nice fresh vegetables, for our children will be home in a few days we want everything good for them. AD! wnat a nappy time it will be to we old folks at home. The hotel at this place will hardly be opened this season tor visitors. The weather is delightful now and the crops are doing well. , Nobody would accuse Mr. Coward, proprietor of the Coward House in this city, of being a dreamer, yet he has had some remarkable experience in mat line. The night that Ammons stole his horse he dreamed twice that one of his horses was missing. These dreams so impressed him that he got out of bed nd went to the barn, when bo found out that his dreams were true. A few nights ago he dreamed that one of his hired boys was driving the team, when it ran away and one of the horses was killed. Last Thursday, wishing to send his team up the river, he went with the team himself for fear of his dream coming true, and took the boy along. In the afternoon he returned all right and elated. It being some hours until night he sent the two horses over to the old Cannon homestead to pick grass, un der the care of the two boys. While there one of the horses was eating near one of the outdoor chimneys when some thing occured what it was is not clear that caused him to suddenly throw up his head. In doing so he came in vio lent contact with the chimney, which knocked the house down. In falling he fell with his head against the chimney breaking his neck. The horse died the next day, thus verifying the dream. Webster Herald. ENFIELD. The feast given by the ladies of the M E. Church was a great success. The supper and ice cream was greatly enjoyed by over a hundred. I am very sorry to state that our base ball boys "the Brownies," have received another licking. This time from the Rocky Mount club, but the game was very close as they were only beaten by one run. I will not tell the score, as is too bad. The Moccasin club will have one of their fish frys on Beaver pond one day this week. As snakes are scarce this spring, the boys will not carry much snakebite with them. I wish them pleasant time. The Masons are contemplating about having a least in the near future on large scale. 1 wish tbem great success. By the way I will mention that they have the finest lodge room With only three exceptions in the state, and as hoe : body of members as any town in (h State can show up. I am very much interested, and like to know when they will give another such a good dinner they did last year. 1 enjoyed it very much. The Fire company is in very good trim now, and hope the boys will continue to take as much interest in it as they do now. I hey have largely attended busi ness meetings twice a month and practice meetings once a month. At the last meeting the following officers were elected: Chief, S. Meyer, Captain of the Engine, John Henton; Captain ot the hose, 1. X Wood. Mr. S. S. Alsop was elected Pres ident and . ii. Holloway vice-president and o. Pearson, secretary. Lots of strawberries have been shipped from this place by John J. Robertson and S. 8. Alsop and last Monday Mr. W. F. Parker shipped sev eral crates oi cherries. The farmers report that the crops arc looking well, and that the stand of cotton is verv good. Mr. C. E, McOwigan's new residence is just about finished as is also Mr. W. Cuthrell's. Both are in the hands 'of the painter. Miss Alice McDonald, of Louisburg, N. C. is here visiting her sister Mrs. Gunter. Mr. A. D. Pender retnrned from his extensive tour, through the Southern States. Mrs. P. Newman, of Tarboro, is here visiting Mrs. Meyer. Milk shakes and sberberts are all the rage here, and ice cream wagons are now parading the streets. M. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

A number of native North Carolinians resident in Baltimore have formed an association to purchase and preserve the land on Roanoke Island, North Carolina, where Sir Walter Raleigh, in the year 1584, planted the first English colony in the New World. The tract includes about two hundred and fifty acres on the northeast corner of the island, and on it stands the ruins of the original fort built by Raleigh. The whole can now be bought $1,500 and the commit tee propose to organize a company, which will issue 3000 shares of stock at $25 per share. This will leave a small an nual income with which to preserve and protect the property. I he committee include Prof. Edward Graham Daves, Francis White, City Solicitor Bryan, Prof. A. Marshal Elliot, Barlet S. Johnson and Thomas J, Boykin. Baltimore Sun. ONLY THE SCARS REMAIN .'lipI I iL MjH LiillMlllllilii Jl AND A Lively Remembrance OF THE HORRIBLE SORES Which Caused Them. Traveler Henry Hudson's Experience "Among the many testimonials which I see in regard to certain medicines performing cures, cleansing the blood, etc., none impress nio more than my own case, anil I conscientiously be lieve it to be my duty to let people know it. Twenty years ago, at the age of 18 years, I had swellings on my legs, which broke and became running sores. Our family physician could do me no good, and it was feared that the bones would be affected. At last, my Cood Old BScaier ADVERTISEMENTS. urged me to try AYER'S Sarsapa rilla. I took three bottles, tho sores healed, and I have not been troubled since. Unlv tlie scars remain, aim the memory of the past, to remind nie of the good AYER'S Sarsaparilla has done me. 1 now weigh two hundred and twenty pounds, and am in the best of health.
