contest for the honor of crown

This sport is a relic of medieval
times, when Knights fought for
the honor of crowning their
lady-loves queens of beauty. It
is very exciting and interesting.
Rings suspended on a cross-bar
over the track will be imapled
on the lances of the contestants
while riding full speed. Every
gallant young man of the county
is invited to enter the lists.
Another sport, likewise a
memento of the dark ages, will
be a gander-pulling. A gandtr
or goose suspended head-down
ward, with its feathers greased,"
must be unheaded by the rider.
Appropriate prizes will be of
fered for the most skillful.
j Danbury will play a series of
j! games of ball while in the after
. i noon Mt. Hermon and Danbury
j | will lock horns.
Other amusements and sports
( are contemplated.
It is expected that all friends
s ; of the old Soldiers will provide
an ample supply of good things
to eat.
j I A speaker of wide reputation
3 will probably be secured to make
j the address.
: A spectacular feature of the
I day's excitements will be the
i !
riding of a wild young bull by
Mr. -las. Flinchum of Piedmont
Springs. This number on the
[program is sure to attract a
j great number of people who love
) j the grotesque and the shocking,
j|Jas. Flinchum, who will attempt
11 the daring feat, is a son of Wm.
j Flinchum.

. i begin at Dan River church the
second Sunday in August. Rev.
I Mr. Irvin will conduct the meet
' ings and will be assisted by a
3 j prominent pastor of Greensboro
1 1 whose name the writer failed
f to learn. Mr. Irvin is a strong
, preacher and everybody ought
