WM. BURROW THROWN BY MULE.
Children's Day at Bethel- Birthday
Supper in Honor of Mr. Lucian
Moor«,
Rural Hall Route 2, Juno 18—
Farmers are very busy nowadays
cutting wheat.
Children's Day was observed at
Bethel yesterday and continued
until after night, commencing at
:i P. M. and lasting until about 5
o'plock. Then all went and en-J
joyed a grand surprise birthday!
supper given in honor of Mr. Lu-1
cian Moore. Everybody enjoyed
a nice good supper.
Mr. Ollie Boles and his sister
Miss Morice visited relatives near
Rural Hall recently.
Mr. Win. Burrow happened to;
the misfortune of getting mule!
thrown the other day, He had a
scything cradle in his hand but
didn't get hurt much, except his 1
feelings. He had 50 cents' worth
of sugar, too, and dropped it and
I guess he hated to leave his sugar
there in the road.
Mesrrs. Willie Wall and C. E.
Moore are the sportingest boys
you ever saw. They have gone to
King today and of course you
know they carried their best girls.
But Mr. Willie happened to the
luck to have to hook in another
horse at Mr. Westmoreland's.
That is right, Mr. Westmoreland,
help him out all yon can, for he
is rough on rats, and I guess he is
on horses, too.
Mr. Will Bodenhammor seems
to be a good boy of late. He goes
along with the widow and helps '
take care of the children. May 1
God bless him in his kind effort.

King, June 20.
Mr. Editor :
I notice an editorial in regard
to a county fair next fall. 1 say we
can have one O. K. Old Stokes
has a lot of good things if they
were only brought together in a
grand display. No>v you run the
fair. 1 only want to nay where to
have it. Of course, King is the
most desirable place as it has a
fine outlet with adjoining counties,
plenty of room, water and some
thing to eat. I don't think you
could do better than to choose
King as the ground, I am sure it
would appreciate it and help to
make a success.
Let's hear from others.
