Mount Airy, Sept. 17 There bad
been for many years a mysterious at
traction somewhere on the Fancy- (lap
road north of this city, which, lias
been the occasion of much travel on
C-in road. Men with th marics of
care upon their faces and slj-ns of
worry upon their brows have journey
ed forth, to return jubilant and ban
pj, with song upon their li and nary
a vestige of, eare. Many -times the
mystery lias been thought solved and
this source of joy "removed"' always to
find the familiar faces returning aft-r
a time. Since the bone-dry law began
working the pilgrimages bad -been
f 'W'er and many pilgrims linve been
seeu ret urn bag, not happy and joyful,
but footsore and weary. However, in
the last week or two the old order has
been apparently returning --"'1 popu
