The school close at baptist Centre last Saturday was largely I attended, and is pronounced a I success. I'rof. Kllis, of Clayton, was present and made au ad- j dress to the students, which is j highly spoken of. Friday evening before the close of Polenta school the boys of Myatt School again crossed bats with the boys of the former! school, and played a close and | exciting game resulting in favor of the Myatt School boys by a j score of 5 to 0.

There wa8 no preaching at Hood's Grove second Sunday on account of the weather. The Ma sonic funeral of brother C. R. Rayner was also postponed be cause of the bad weather until October. Our public school at Sandy Grove, taught by Miss Hepsie Hudson, of Sampson County, was closed on the 10th with quiet exercises. Mumps and measles have been raging in this community for some time in virulent form?in some cases resulting in pneu monia. As I write 1 am reminded that this day brings the Fortieth An niversary of the battle of Ren tonsville. I am reminded how the old men, women and boys, (for these were all or the only ones left to take care of home in this country at that time) were hustling around on the l!)th day of March, 18(15, hiding meat, lard and other valuables in the wells and pits dug in the ground and anywhere else they thought would be safe from Sherman's men. My father had a negro man and one of my young brothers to take his horses, after hiding the meat in the well, off in the swamps and tie them where he thought they would be secure, but the Yanks got them just the same, as they did all the neigh bor's horses. One Yankee got old man Bob Hood's specie aud earned it off. Some years ago after the war, he came back to the old man Hood's and told him his conscience lashed him so much about taking his money that he had come back to tell bim about it and help him look it. The Yank told Hood that he scratched a hole in the plantation near the house and buried it? j that he had gotten so repentant over the matter he had come all the way back to look it and re store his lost treasure. The old | man Hood believed the rascal I aud kept him around for a week or more pretending to look his [ money. These were trying times and General Sherman didn't miss I it much when he said wur is hell. The weather is tine and farmers are busv. March 19.1905. W. N. K. OASTOItlA.

Satisfied that there was no chance of recovering additional bodies, from the ruins of the It. B. Uro ver Company's shoe factory, search was abandoned at 11 o'clock to-night by the small army of volunteers after thirty seven hours of constant toil. The revised list as given out bv the police at 11:30 o'clock to night was as follows: Bodies recovered, 55; identified, 14; mis sing, 45; reported as escaped, 283. For the first time since the fatal explosion razed the shoe factory of K B. Grover & Co., the city to-day seemed to fully realize the enormity of the calamity. This has been brought about by the positive identifica tion by bits of clothing or other wise of several bodies and the failure to return home of those who, had they survived, must before this have sought their friends. A snow storm that early to day covered the wreckage to night turned into rain, but, brav ing the elements, groups of men, women, and children gathered at the morgue, hoping against hope that the chance discovery of some bit of familiar clothing or object of personal belonging would lead to the identification of their dead.
