Stallings. Mr. John Wrenn and MissEula Jones are here to hear the speech of Hon. E. W. Pou. Mr. W. B. Snow left Sunday for a week's stay with relatives and friends at Norfolk, Ya. Mr. and Mrs. John S. Barnes and children, of Smithfleld, spent Sunday here, the guests of Mrs. W. I. Whitley. Mrs. Sallie Surles and Masters Walter and Sexton, w&nt to Four Oaks Sunday, returning Monday afternoon. Dr. Griffin went to Richmond, Saturday returning Monday. He went to accompany Mrs. J. H. Griffin to the hospital. We are pleased to herald the arrival, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Z. B. Jones last week, two very handsome little girls. Our town is crowded with visi tors taking in the splendid exer cises furnished by the faculty and students of Clayton High School. The Commencement exercises of Clayton High School are in full swing. Next week we will try to give a full report of the pro ceedings. Mr. R. A. Wall, the very effici ent secretarp of the Clayton Oil Mill, is attending the Cotton Seed-crushers Association at At lanta, Ga. Mr. Lindon M. Durham, who is now located at Lemon Springs, spent this week here attending the Commencement exercises at Clayton High School. Mr. W. G. Wilson, of Wilson s Mills, was heie Wednesday. Mr. Wilson came up to settle a tine imposed on a negro, one of his employees, for the fraudulent use of a check. There's been some very slight cases of sickness in our town re cently but we think nearly every body's well enough to attend the big entertainments that are be ing given this week. Mr. W. J. C. Richardson was in to see us Wednesday and when asked "how are the crops in your section?" said, "how can 1 tell how the crops are when they are all underground?" Mrs. J. H. Benton and sou Master Garland, of Spencer, af ter a visit of several days to her sister, Mrs. P. H. Massey, left Wednesday for their home, ac companied by Mrs. Benton's mother. The Clayton people and visi tors were highly appreciative of the two very excellent sermons delivered by Dr. Dunaway last Sunday. The one Sunday morn ing on "Character Building" was especially appropriate to the oc casion. we noticed a special to the News and Observer, from Wilson's Mills, last week, stating that "in a rather one-sided game of ball, Wilson's Mills beat Clayton, the score being 19 to 1." We also noticed in the same edition of the News and Observer, that three of A. & M.'s crack baseball players went to Wilson's Mills to assist the boys there in playing Clayton's red-hot fire-eaters. This accounts in a way for the onesidedness of the game. "Tote fair" and Clayton's boys are fire eaters. We had two very good games of base-ball this afternoon (Wed nesday). One between the first nine of Smithfleld, and the first nine of Clayton. The battery for Smithfleld was Duncan and Merritt. For Clayton Ellis and Williams. The score was 21 to 4 in favor of Clayton's "Fire eaters." The second nine did finer work, according to size, than the first. When the ninth inning was up the score stood 10 to 10. They then played three more innings, Clayton scoring one run, which gave them the game by 11 to 10. Our hoys are alright any time you hitch upj against them. I Reading the article in Th::! Hekald last v ecu concerning the trial of Mr. Lee for retailing i whiskey, and the unsatisfactory judgment rendered, brings to; our mind to mention the verv satisfactory way in which our officers have disposed of cases of j like nature here. Although the | officers were cpt>o?ed to prohibi tion, in every case rhatcomes be-1 ! fore thein they are just as strict | to enforce the law as is possible. | No matter how our people feel | about a thing, they always go according as they think the law i directs. Clayton is proud of her officers. May 16. Yelir. Mr. Hinohara Speaks on Japan. Rev. Z Hinohara, a native Japanese, delivered an address in the Methodist church here Wednesday night. Mr. Hinohara has been in the United States for the past four and a half years, having came here to take a course in Trinity College, where he graduated last year. He was converted to Christanity at the age of thirteen and has ever since remained true to his new- 1 found religion despite the perse-i cutions of his people in Japan. Mr. Hinohara will return to his native land about June 1st to preach the gospel to the Japan ese. In his address Wednesday night Mr. Hinohara spoke of the , Japanese people and the condi-i 1 tions of the country from a com mprnia.1 imliisTrml pHiipa tinna 1 and religious standpoint. He said that in Japan every child, whether rich or poor, enjoys equal privileges and opportuni ties from the standpoint of edu cation, that every child is com pelled to attend school at least four years. The development of Japan from au educational standpoint, according to the speaker, has taken place within the past 30 or 35 years. The Massachusetts system of educa- ' tion has been adopted, and there is at the present time a move ment on foot to erect a monu- \ ment to the American mission aries who first introduced the 1 system of modern education into the Mikado's realms. j I He spoke of the Japanese as a ; ? good people who are quick, ener- J getic and progressive in all i things that tend to the uplift of < the nation. He said that Japan > by conquering self, had been able I to conquer others, and that her ' great victory over Russia was < | but the outgrowth of this great i principle. He said, commenting ? on the fact that Japan had been * called the sleeping nation: "You ' cannot make a fool wise by waking him up suddenly." Mr. Hinohara is no stranger to Smithfleld, having visited here before. He said that the first I prayer meeting he ever conduct ed in this country was held in the Smitlifield Methodist church. i Four Babies Born In Eleven Months. Mrs. John Disston, of Grand I View, a small town over the line | in Edgar county, Illinois, holds the record of this community for | living up to President Roosevelt's anti-race suicide ideas. Eleven months ago Mrs. Diss ton became the mother of twins, bothof which are alive and thriv- i ing.

Ellington a black stallion hat was raised as a wild horse, dr. Smith carried him to a to taeco barn and haltered him here but in some way the horse jot loose and got out and has jeeu running at large in that sec ion siuce. He has been a source of trouble rnd expeuse and also of great imusement to the people of the leighborhood. His headquar :ers during the winter were on dr. J. M. Beaty's farm. He spent his nights under an old :rooked tree, he drank water rom Poplar creek, and ate fod ier and peavine hay from the itacks in the fields. He has been run several times with other horses and dogs, sometimes as many as a hundred people being in pursuit of him. Pens and lots were made but aobody could get him into them. All efforts to catch him failed. Recently he had started to eat the young crops, making fine headway on oats. The people of the neighborhood bad about decided that the only way to get rid of him would be to kill him. Last Monday Mr. J. W.

It s feared that this will make him worthless for work if it does not till him. It would have been better to nave shot him and killed him toon after he got away from Mr. ?smith. WAIT FOR HUNGER. jood Advice From Hood Bros, as to How to Create an Appetite. Any physician will tell you that t is unwise to eat unless one is really hungry. It is far better bo miss a meal than to eat with out appetite. But do not take a tonic, stimu ant, or appetizer to make you nungry. Hood Bros, say that the best way to create an appe tite is to restore the digestion to tieakh by the use of Mi-o-na stomach tablets, a reliable reme dy that they have with the best of satisfaction.
