DECLINED TO BE TAKEN.
A Lively Tilt Between Two Officers
and J. J. Sheppard and Wife.
Deputy Sheriff A. W. Davis, of
Danbury, and Constable W. C.
Dellar, had a lively scrap
with J. J. Sheppard and wife near
the Virginia line last Thursday,
in which Sheppard, assisted by
his wife, resisted arrest, and as
saulted the officers.
The details, as told to the Ro
porter, are that Davis and Fagg
went with a warrant for Sheppard
and found him in company with
his wife at a place claimed by
Sheppard to be in Virginia, and
who refused to be arrested on the
ground that he was out of the
jurisdiction of the Stokes authori
ties. A struggle ensued between
Sheppard and his wife and Davis
iu which the officer lost bis pistol
and Sheppard threw several rocks
at him and the woman went aftor
Fagg with a pitchfork, Fagg de
clining, to take any part in the
fight. Later Davis went back and
induced Sheppard to give bond for
his appearance at the next term of
Stokes Superior Court.
Sheppard is charged with strik
ing Gabe Hawkins, a negro, with
a mattock, almost killing him.

AT PINK GROVE SATURDAY.
School Closing Exercises Very En-
Tertaining—The Reporter Enjoys
the Hospitality Of Mr. W. Y. Gor
don.
A representative of the Repor
ter had tho pleasure of attending
the dosing exercises of the Pink
Grove school last Saturday. An
excellent program had beeu ar
ranged, and the students, who
Bhowed splendid training, carried
it out without a hitch. Many
compliments were passed on Mr,
O. L. Pulliam, the teacher, for his
care and ability in the manage
ment of the children. The best
foature of the occasion was the
drilling on the ground in front of
the school building. The students
marched and countermarched, ex
ecuting various and pretty figures,
to the time of spirited music by
the band.
A large crowd of spectators were
present, and the day was keenly
enjoyed by everyone present.
Dinner was eaten on the grounds
in picnic fashion. Tho writer had
the pleasure of sitting at the board
of Mr. W. Y. Gordon and family,
and it is needless to say that we
fared royally.
Rev. Dr. Tom Smith filled his
regular appointment at Mt. Olive
Saturday and Sunday with good
attendance. He preached an in
teresting sermon, both times. He
certainly hit us on his sermons.
We certainly appreciated it, for it
takes such doctrine to keep us on
the right track.
We are undecided about build
ing our church at Oak Grove on
account of our brethren not
agreeing on the location. If we
should go on and build and the
location should not suit them of
course they would say we are not
going to pay a single cent. lam
judging the future by the past,
yet such persons after it would
be paid for, would sit on the front
seats to be rubbed and petted.
Now, you may ask such persons to
help pay the pastor, their excuse
would be the church is in a tangle
and they say they won't pay a
cent till the church is straight.
Mother Eve made the first excuse
the world has ever known, and
they have been handy ever since.

AYERSVILLE ON A BOOM.
Five Stores, and Another Going Up.
Mr. Dave Martin Improving—Mrs.
N. J. Martin lll—Other Items.
Ayereville, March 18. —We are
having right much rainy weather
now, the farmers can't do much
on the farm auch as plowing, etc.
Some are getting anxious. If they
would plow for grain, it would not
look so bard, but most of their
work is for that weed we call "to
bacco." If the people would not
make so much old tobacco and try
to make more of something to eat,
they would do a great deal better
in trying to make a living. Have
you ever thought how long it
takes to make a crop of tobacco ?
Thirteen months in a year. If
every farmer would make as much
grain according as he does tobacco
this old state we call North Caro
lina would be among the highest
in the United States in grain.
All the poor farmers study is
tobacco—the worst enemy there'
is in North Carolina. In the fall
of the year is the happiest of the
year, for the farmers have all their
work at home, but in the spring it
has all been hauled away for
7-cents a pound, and what has
your work amounted to ? You
have done all this work for tobac
co, and now, where is your meat
and grain ? In the merchants'
hands. Why not make your meat
and grain at home, so you won't'
have to depend on someone else
for their living. Old tobacco is the
cause of the farmer to stand where
he is to-day.
Mr. Davie Martin has been low
with grippe but is improving now.
Mrs. N. J. Martin is right ill
with grippe.
Mr. N. J. Martin is in a bad fix.
He is blind and no one to help
them do anything. His wife has
[almost worked herself to death
trying to keep things going.
The Ayersville school closed to
day. Guess they graduated in five
weeks. The teacher said she had
to go home. We suppose she was
homesick.
Miss Minnie Smith is expecting
to jump the broom soon with Mr.
Will Martin. Hope they will suc
ceed in getting off.
Old Ayereville is on a boom. It
has five stores and another one go
ing up. It will be at the top pretty
soon.
Mr. P. D. Nelson had much suc
cess with his working yesterday.
Miss Lindsay Davis, of Guilford
College, had much success with
her school at Buffalo.
