m *
Saturday was a great clay at
Danbury, the occasion being the
annual reunion of the Diet Con
.. ,J federate Soldiers, and a match
game of baseball between Dan
bury and Sandy Ridge, two of the
teams of the county. The
oitowd in town was estimated at
fnm 2,000 to 2,500. About 150 ex- j
Confederates were present, among
the number being many who were
not here at the last year's meeting.
These enlisted in the camp, and
their names are published else
where. It was with general re
gret that everybody spoke of the
absence of Capt. Leak, who could
not be present owing to the recent
death of his wife. The new mem
bers of the camp wore enlisted
under the direction of Mr. W. W.
King, who also put the old sol
diers through Hardee's tacties and
marched them around the court
house and up the street where a
■good dinner had been prepared
for them in the grove near the M.
E. Church. Col. M. V. Mabe per
formed on the old Confederate fife
to the amusement of the old sol
diers and the crowd. The meet
ing was a great success. It was
.regretted that no speaker at all
was present, and that no definite
program had been arranged for
■the occasion.
THE BALL GAME.
m At one o'clock the ball game be
tween Danbury and Sandy Ridge
began. A large crowd, number
ing several hundred people were
| present. At four o'clock the game
was ended on the sixth inning, by
a dispute over the rules. '1 he
| score stood as follows:
Danbury 020 1 0 3
Sandy Ridgo 1 1 0000 2
The features of the game were
the fine pitchings of Hutcherson
for Sandy Ridge and Shelton for
Danbury.
It was generally voted that the
was as fine as ever seen in
.Stokes"Twunty and everybody re
gretted that it couldn't be finished.

little discussion of candidates.
A Correction.
Mr. Editor :
I notice in the last issue of your
paper an article announcing my
name as an independent candidate
for the office of Treasurer of
I Stokes county.
I wish to say that this is entirely
a mistake. While in company
with some of my friends and dis
cussing the various candidates I
jokingly said that I believed I
would come out as an independent
candidate for Treasurer and some
one said, "All right, you have a
i right to run and I will vote for
I you." And I thought this would
'be the last of it, but to continue
the joke one of the party present
sent the announcement to the
paper that I was an independent
candidato for Treasurer.
I wish to say, Mr. Editor, that
II am a Republican and believe in
j the principles of the Republican
i party and expect to support the
' ticket and would not do anything
| that would hiniler or injure the;
j cause.
Wishing your paper and its >
many readers much success, I begj
I to remain,
Yours very truly,
ALEXANDER MERRITT.
