HAPPENINGS AT WALNUT COVE One Negro Shoots At Another—the Baseball Boys Winning Honors —Personals and Other Notes. Walnut Cove, N. C., Aug. 21. —Quite a little excitement was created Sunday by a crowd of ne groes congregating at one of the old ex-distilleries and engaging in gambling, which soon produced a row, and one of the darkies shot at another. The parties were ar rested by officer Hilary Burton and tried before Justice S. C. Rierson. Dick Fulp, the negro who did the shooting, was fined $14.00. Mr. Cabell Hairston is the most public spirited man in town. He studies constantly new enterprises, and always is in good spirits. He has worked faithfully to get the coal mines developed. When the cotton mill comes we will owe it more to the indefatigable efforts of Mr. Hairston than to any other causes. By the way, Mr. Hairston assures us that the coal is proving to be tEe finest quality, and in a quantity sufficient to induce the capitalists to put forth their best efforts to develop it. The Walnut Cove boys are wianing baseball laurels on every hand. Saturday they played Hollow Road, the score being 14 to 3 in favor of Walnut Cove Our team is wearing the scalp of many a drag nine iu the coun ty that has yielded to their powers. They are itching to play Sandy Ridge, the champions of the county, and will make a date at any time convenient to the! Sandy Ridge boys. Possibly not many of your read ers know that Walnut Cove has ■ one of the most up-to-date brick yards in the State. No brick in North Carolina is superior to the article manufactured by the Hedgecocks. The manage: s of the yard are three brothers, Nat, Robert and Harvey Hedgecock, and they are all clever young gentlemen. They work about 80 men and turn out about 50,000 brick per day. They are always behind with their orders and ship brick as far away as Greeuville, S C. As quickly as t!ie railway company will put in additional siding for the use of the plant, its capacity will be largely increased Capt. Murphy and Mr. Hairs ton are our weather prophets. They have formed a co-partner ship, and never miss in their prognostications. The way the\ are so successful is this : Captain Murphy will say it's going to rain, while Mr. Hairston predicts a dry spell, or vice versa, and the firm gets credit of a correct fore cast. Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Joyco visited friends and relatives at Danbury Sunday. Mrs. Joyce remained and will spend some d..ys there. Prof. M. T. Chilton, of Dan bury, was in town Monday on his way to Belew's Cieek to examine a piece of land in which he is in terested. President J. H. Prather, of the Bank of Stokes County, spent Thursday in town at the Bank. Mr. W. J. Byerly, the Vice-Presi- 1 dent of the Bank, was in town also j Monday. The merchants of Walnut Cove are preparing big stocks of goods for the fall trade. It is the opin ion of almost everyone that to bacco is going to sell for good prices this fall, and business is expected to be fine as a conse-' quence. Farmers are already cur ing prim in gs. THE LIMIT OF LIFE. The mort eminent medical sci entists are unanimous in the con clusion that the generally accep ted limitatioft of human life is manp years below the attainment pussible with the advanced knowl edge of which the race is now pos sessed. The critical period, that determines its duration, seems to be between 50 and (30; the proper care of the body during this de oade cannot be too strongly urged; carelessness then being fatll to longevity. Nature's best heljter after 50 is Eleetric Bitters, the scientifio eonic medicine that re vitalizes every organ of the b dy. Guaranteed by all druggists, 50c. "MC" WRITES INTERESTINGLY. Wants Mrs. Moore To Conduct Wo man's Department To Reporter- Some Other Ideas Suggested. Saxon, Aug. 20. 1 believe many of your renders feel a dee]) inter est in your efforts to make the Re porter "the best weekly in the State." We have become so at attaehed to it that we feel like it is our paper; and we find ourselves often thinking bow we can help in the work of making it . better and more widely read. We want our neighbors and acquaintances everywhere to have it; and we en joy their talking about the ed itoriuls and other articles of gen eral interest tlint appear ,in it every week. Now we are full of expectancy* looking for the first copy from the new press. We are anxious to know who have agreed to do some real work every week, writing for the new dejiartment, that will show up in our enlarged paper. lam sure there is talent among the readers of the Repor ter that should avail itself of the' opportunity to enlighten, amuse j and make bettor those who are susceptible those who read and j think. i I believe among other good i | things promised to us. is a "Wo- j ; man's Department," and I want to suggest as managing editor for t hat department, Mrs. Dr. Moore. | :If you can get her to take charge I | of the work, you may congratulate j yourself and your readers upon j the fact that you have secured the woman licst fitted for the work of any in the county. Those who ! know her, and those who have | heard her talks in the Teachers' Institutes, are profuse inthiscoin ; pliment of her as an interest ing, J I entertaining and delightful com | pan ion; and we do hope she will consent to join the Reporter force and thus allow many others to get acquainted with and enjoy the j good things she can think and knows how well to say. August reminds us of life. The I trees and crops have made most ! of their growth, and are beginning jto ripen the trees are ready to rest, but in the midst of all this | beauty and strength an indefinable, something hangs over the scene I i • of prophecy like the end of i things. In May the air is full of hope, in August it is only a liope j t'ul melancholy, convincing us | that all this strength and beauty must pass away. A man of fifty | odd years on a Sunday evening ! looking over a scene of woods and j lielils must realize that his life has ; reached the month of August. Hut | with fair health and a clean heart, there should lie before him at least ten of the strong dominant, years of life, and yet he will feel that from this time on, must of his work will mean the ripening of | life's crops rather than the sowing. j These thoughts are good, and 1 would not turn the seasons back. M - Mr. Mcßay Dalton, of Winstt n, j arrived here Tuesday to visit fel atives. The Pilot Mountain Graded and School. Prepares boys and girls for • 1- lege, for teaching, and for the duties of life.

Revival at Beaver Island Church Closes—Meeting Begun at Ayers ville—Other Notes. Madison Route 3, Aug. 15'. The meeting closed at Beaver Island church last Saturday, the weather being unfavorable, the crowd was very small. We had very interest ing sermons during the meeting, but not much interest manifested. Miss Dora Martin spent a part of last week with Miss Minnie Crews. She was accompanied home by Miss Minnie, who will spend a few day. Miss Lindsay Davis, of Guilford College, was married to Mr. Wade Martin, of Ayersville, Sunday morning. \\ e wish for them a long aud happy life. Miss Bercha Dunlap, of Gideon, is visiting Mrs. J. T.

KING TO HAVE A BIG FAIR. Another Bear Story—Lawn Party To Be Given at Galatia Church --Some Other Notes. Walnut Cove Iloute 3, Aug. 20. —Crops in.tliis section are look ing reasonably well. Smith & Rierson are very busy this week moving their saw mill. Mr. Caleb Tuttle informs us that he will have to cut some to bacco next week. This will be the first to be cut in this section. There seems to be quite a little excitement in this neighburhood over a bear that is supposed to be running at large. Several have heard funny noises at night. One boy went courting and had to stay all night, being afraid to return home at night. Another young man's horse was severely frighten ed the other night while the boy himself could not see or hear any thing. The horse snorted and went on at a terrible rate. The«ther two persons claim they have seen the bear. Your corresponeent visited at King the past week and while there attended a stockholders meeting of the King Fair Asso ciation. Another meeting is set for next Monday night, the 26th. They have set the date for the fair Tuesday, Nov. sth. This will be a county fair, aud everybody in the county are requested to par ticipate. The association has pur chased 5 acres of land which will be enclosed later on. People are taking stock at a rapid rate. There is nothing that could be gotten up that will mean as much for the upbuilding of the county as a good county fair. Now let us all put our shoulders to the wheel and push a good thing along. A word to prospective stockholders : I am a stockholder myself and think it is a good investment to those who will take stock. Look at the Forsyth county fair. Only a few years ago it started with you might say nothing and look at it today. The first fair they had was held at Oak Grove and would hardly equal the Poultry Fair held atKing the ptut year. The association intends having several different departments—a poultry department and departtnents for various farm produces. It is also arranging for several departments for ladies, such U3 flowers, needle work, etc. While at King I was requested to make mention in my letter to the Reporter of a lawn patty to be given at G.datia church near Five Forks on Friday night, Aug. 23. The proceeds will go to pay the railroad fare of a preacher who will hold a protracted meeting at Galatia in the near future. The name of the minister has slipped the memory of the writer but any way he is claimed to be one of the ablest preachers in the country. A brass band will be at the lawn party. There will be for sale on | the grounds all kinds ot good things, such as ice-cream, lemon ade and all kinds of eatables, and a good time is promised to all who will attend. With much success to the Re porter and its large army of read ers. Yours truly, E. P. NEWSUM. Mr. Samuel Stewart left Mon day for Raleigh. He will attend the A. & M. College. KEEP YOUK BLOOD PURE.
