Captain John R. Smith, superintendent
of the penitetitiary.visittd the State farms
on Roanoke river last week. He is de-
htcd with the prospects for a fine crop.
The planting of cotton has been comple
ted and there are only about lL'5 acres
more of corn to be plauted.
When the planting is completed (here
will be 4.0HO acres iu cotton and 6,500 in
corn. In addition to this, uuless the
cholera breaks out there will be 1,000
hogs to fatten and kill on these farms

guards at the Caledonia farm are doing
well.
Town Election. The election here

The following is the ticket elected:

The question of bouding the town for
$:i0,000 to build a bridge over R mnoke
river was also vuted on. Those who
favored issuing the bonds were over
wheluiiugly defeated. The vote was 171
against the bridge to -7 for it.
Weldon people would be only too glad
to have a bridge over the river but they
do not think it wise to fasten a $:!0,000
debt upu the town for this purpose.

where they joioel Ihe, other delegates lo

A special train of Pullman palace e ars
left Atlanta Tuesday with a large number
of delegates on it. Captain Hawks was
accompanied by Mrs. Hawks. The train
was provided with a dining car and the
delegates and their families will take all
meals on their own special train. The
trip will be a most delightful one and the
selection of Captains Chavasse und
Hawks was a well merited compliment
to two popular conductors.
Old, But Intehest'no Hero is a
mysterious little example in arithmetic, I
don't know its age, but I do know that it
has caused a great many arguments und
I have known of three dift'erent answers
being given by three different meu at the
same time. Hereitis:
A man walked into a shou store and
bought a pair ot hoots, the price of
which was he gave the shoe mer
chant n f 100 bill in payment. The
merchant stepped to a nearby bunk and
oblaiued the change, gave the customer
the change due him; in a few minutes
one of the bank clerks came in and in
formed the merchant that the $100 bill
was a counterfeit. The merchant lit
once made the amount good. How much
was he out on the transaction?
The above problem appears quite sim
ple but just try it. The answer is not
what it looks like it might be. Ex.
Election of St peiiintendent ok
Health. The county commissioners
in regular monthly session at Halifax
Monday, re-elected Dr I. E.Green, county
Superintendent of Health.
The board is composed of two demo
crats, one republican and two populists
Dr Green and Dr. H. B. Furgerson,
both democrats, were placed in nomina
tion. Dr. Green received the votes of tbo
two Democratic members and the Re
publican member and was declared
ected.
The superintendent of Health has
retofore been elected by the Board of
Health composed of the doctors, chair
man of the board of county commission
ers, surveyor and mayor of the county
at. The last Legislature amended the
aw and gave the election of superinten-
nt of health to the cummissiuncss.
Dr. Green lias held the position fur
savcral years, and has given universal
satisfaction to all. One of the commis
sioners, who opposed Dr. Green, ex
pressed thcseiitiuiout of the people of
Halifax county exactly wheu he was
card to remark, after the election wus
over: "U is impossible to beat Dr.
Green, anyway. He has friends in all
parties who will stand by him."
The fact that Dr. Green's opponent is
also a physician of high standiug an 1 of
great popularity, his re election is a just
recognition of the efficient services he
has rendered the county.

With the score dead against them Wei
don pulled an apparently lost game out of
the lire in the seventh und eighth last
Friday, when the score stood 1 1 to 5 in
favor of the visitors, in one of the most
exciting Guishcs ever before witnessed on
the Weldon diamond.
If si?.o had any merit in winning games
Emporia ought to have walked awav with
last Friday's game, but as it takes some
thing else tiesnles herculean proportions
to gain victories, the visitors fouud, to
their sorrow, that they were simply not in
it after the sixth.
The features of the game were a home
run by Daniel, a three bagger, a safe one
by Tiueblood for three bases, along drive
into deep center by Anderson which
netted three bags, a pretty catch in center
by Allen, a two base lick by Cochran,
Stainbaok's beautiful catch in left field,
Joyner 's aud Rugby's pitching aud Pierce's
all round work. Daniel's home run, in
third, was the longest drive ever made
on the grouuds. II" swiped the ball
squarely on the nose and sent it sailing
away, und away into space, so far above
the heads of the visitors that they had
to get spy glasses to watch its flight.
The home boys made the most wonder
ful rally in seventh and eighth ever be
fore recorded.
Only one incident occurred to mar the
perfect joy and Berenity of the occasion.
A foul tip from Long's bat, alias " Buckey ''

A CIIAKM1NO
HOSTESS.
About twenty young ladies from Hali
fax came down and gave a concert Fri
day night. They only bad about half a
house, owing to a downpour of rain. All
acquitted themselves admirably but spec
ial mention should be made of Miss
Travis, of Weldon, and Misses Gregory
and McN'amara, of Halifax.
A pleasing entertainment, indeed, was
the library or book party, given by Miss
Bessie Curtis last Wednesday night.
The large sliding doors between the parlor
and sitting room were thrown hack and
the volumes of books moved about, each
trying to ascertain the authenticity of
the other, but a close perusal of this ag
gregation of fictiou would tend to drive
ane poison to distraction. New books
old and long forgotten books, books
known the world over, and others de
servedly obscure, mingled together with
serene congeniality. The following per
sons participated iu their respective roles:
Mrs. C. Pit(inan,'-The Mill on the Floss,"
Miss Bessie Curtis, "A Bow of Oiungc
Ribbon," Miss Mabel Curtis, "The Ini
tials, .Miss Mane Dennis "First Violin,',
Miss Julia Parker, "Woman in White,''
Miss Bessie Whit.iker, "Not Like Other

the names of the books, having guessed
the entire number. The prize was two
handsome bo iks "Reveries of a Bachelor"
aud "Dream Life." Tho book contest
being over if you should chance to draw
a "Bow of Ribbon" to correspond with
the one drawn by your best girl why you
took her in to supper, but should it cor
respond with another girl's ribbon why
you took her in, that's it exactly. Then
afterwards came the bright answer con
test. You were furnished a list of queries
written ou cardboard with pencil attached.
The brightest anwers to these Were given
by Miss Bessie Whitaker and Ben Bron
