Rev. N. C. Yearby Is
Moved to Mt. Gilead.
Kev. N. C. Yearby v has been
sont to kt. Gilead, and be apd his
m(,st estimable family fwili eavejsey, and Messrs. Cash, Gates and
soon for this new fields Few men i Clay went oat on a raid and suc
mivi-ivcuiwiu. n more
qoiuil success than did Mr. Year
by and his departure, will bring
jrriof to many of his members.
H, was the first pastor to give all
of his time to this church, but he
';i;is hovn the wisdom of making
tjuM-hange and we doubt if any
,f iiis membeis would consider for
1 moment ging back to. the old
nioile of preaching Wice a month.
Not only will Mr. Yearby. be. miss-
el but his splendid wife, who was
m active co-laborer with him, will
be sailly missed by all of the con-1
gregation.- When he goes to his
new field they will carry "with
them a "God bless you,'? from all
of his friends, regardless of
whether they be Methodists, Bap
tists or Presbyterians.
His successor, Rev. 0;
Dowd, is from Gibson, and will
receive a warm welcome to" the
community. Roxboro . Methodist
Church is a strong church and has!
the repuiation of giving the pas
tor the best at all times. ""

. The' VDaddy" Still Captured
j-. ' " "1 ",'
On last Friday evening a: party
composed of Deputy Marshal R.
I W. Morris,:qollecters J p. Lif-
ceeded in capturing the largest
still ever captured in these parts.
The still was 10 gallons capacity,
and they found and destroyed
4800 gallons of beer and 30 gal-j
Ions of whiskey, : .The entire. out
fit was new and had only . been in
operation a few days, this -probably-being
the first mash ' they had
made. The still was located about
three miles north west of Moriah.
They did not succeed in Icakur-
ing any of the men; owing to the
fact that a man was stationed
some distance on top of the hill as
a guard, and . when -he saw the
pose approaching lie fired his gun
seven times and then "broke -and
ran, and likewise the three men
operating the still did the same.
It is thought this is the same
crowd who have been operating
along the .border of Person and
Orange counties,1 first -located in
one coumy and then the other,
never staving at one place long at
a timer- They got away from Bob
this time, but just let them keep
up the business and he will : land"
them as he has invariably done
when they persist in the nefarious
business. ?Y y '

Community Day.
On last Friday Community ay
"was observed at Brooklyn Church,
the peo-
e at community ha'd made
all preparations for a large crowd
s,iou and .mucl1 0()(i Wlli c.oine
from -the codling together
From 9:30 until 11:30 the ex-
ercises were in charge of Miss An
nie Howard, the teacher of the
Brooklyn school, and they were
of great credit to both the teacher
and the scholars. We enjoyed
these exercises immensely as did
all present. After the exercises
by the children dinner was an
nounced, and of course this was
enjoyed by all. Brunswick stew,
cakes; pickles, etc., was plentiful
in fact more than enough to have
fed twice the number present.
T ; There was much speech making
and of a high order generally.
viJRev. J.! A. Beam spoke on Moon
light Schools, Mr. S. P. Jones on
fyhata rural community should
he, Mr. Brown Oa Hme and
farm improvements, Mr. W. T.
Swanson on Rural credits, J. W.
t 311 on Time prices, and Rural
onomy by Mr. W. D. Merritt,
Ye wish-that every farmer in the.
County could have heard this
speech, it was fine and would
have done credit to anyone. We
do not 'remember having heard a
speech ; with more good, sound
common horse sense in many
years, and ho one could, hdve
heird it without resolving that in
mjmy respects "was--goings to
impruve on uis way or larming ?
Altogether, it was a good day
and we greatly enjoyed being
with the good people of the Brook
lyn district.
Mr. Bradsher Issues Challenge.
Last year several of our readers
published the fact that they had
killed some hogs which had gain
ed more than a pound a day. Mr.
Stephen Bradsher just reports the
killing of three pigs which- were
8 months and 28 days old, just
two days less than nine months
and. they averaged 330 pounds.
He says if there is any one in the
County who can . beat this he
would like for them to tell The
Courier about it. Be exact, don't
say about nine months old, but
give exact days and exact weight.
.We are of the opinidn that ' Mr. !
BradsheV will carry the honors
this season. However, he says if
you want to raise pigs of this
kind buy your pigs from Ed Gen-

Public Debate.
-The meeting of the 1 Person
County business Mens Associa
tion last Friday night was turned
into a public debate. The Subject
debated -was Woman ' Suffrage.
The speakers entered into the de
bate with earnestness and did
themselves proud in their efforts,
but the Jigges lost out, the judges
decided that the tritis had won. .
Some of the ladies say they did
not have a fair showing and want
the President and Secretary of
the club to arrange -for another
debate and let the -ladies ..handle
theVside of the question. We
rather like" the suggestion, . and t
while the -men mighty object t
taking part under such, circum-j
stances, why not arrange J for a
debate by the ladies on thetsame ,
"subject. Y What say you,' Mr.
