A few dnvs since the Good Tom- j.lars of Wake coipity met in what is termed in that Order a County Lodge Convention, at or near the locality of, Mt. Yennm Church.

Meinbirsof tho Lodges in IbiL'igh betook thfiuselvcs to his st uiul to refresh themselves and p:v troniz" the gentloiiian, and calling for soda water the svrup bottles were bri ught forth when the eotiutry mem bers raised a hue and civ that, those Lot Pes were tiiicousiiintiontd and that the soda was "spiked." He was positively forbidden to sell anything which required a bottle to prepare. His lemonade was then called for but having becu colored a bright wine. color the natives put their protest on the sale of that. Ice cream was then j called for when ho was refused the privilege of retailing eveu that article because ns tait! of the inhabitants ; said it might bo -d .shed." This w-its an actual occurrence and to say., the man from an entire loss the li'ileigli members bought the ice ci'L-am and olL-rnl it gratuitously to their country brethren ; but no go, they looked with suspicious eye upon it and would jurtako no'.
