Score, 30 to 29. Ahosk'e beat Aulander! Now, doesn't that wound like a fairt tale to you gentle reader*! Have you ever read of, heard of; dreamed of, or thought of any aucb thing ever occurring! Nevertlieleas, 'tis true. Ahoskie, 30 game*, Aulander 29 gamei. That -was the final score of the checker tournament that took place be tween these two clubs on last Thursday afternoon on the enemy's own bsttletield. And, as a result, the silver cup donated by Mr. S. A. Meads, of Norfolk, now rests uDon its pedestal of trlory in ' the lobby of the Farmers-Atlantic Bank, right where everybody can Luke a peek at it. No, this is no n?n story, it is a tangible fact, though it may not sound so to you who have not seen this trophy? i real war trophy. And, speaking of war, we have lieard that the threatening Mexi can War is a tame affair to the rattles that were waged in Auland ;r last Thursday. If there ever were evenly m itched teams these were the two that met in Auland sr; but the Ahoskie boys had ilood in their finger tips, and 'traps" in their heads?and thdy wrought that cup back to Ahoskie, where she rightfully belongs. Hon. Walter H. Johnson, of Ahos cie. presented the cup to the win ?ers in the behalf of Mr. Meads. Those participating in the tourn iment were: Ahoskie, Messrs. L. T. Sumner, J. C. Jenkins, J. J. Askew. P. W. Ilolloman, A. W. Holloina^o. and S. A. Meads; \ulander, R. E. White, Dr. E. H. florton. G. R. Dunning, W. G. Burden, Alex. Lassiter and W. H. Early. SOME GOOD FAKM IMG FUNDAMENTALS Sucess in farming is not luck, rbo successful farmer follows netliods adapted to bis needs and sondilions. He make many mis takes, which if corrected would nake bis success triuch greater, jut along important lines he is following the practices which are mown by students of farm man igemeut to be correct practices, Success, however, does not come 'rum the production of good crops done. The crops must also be iroduced economically, and good jusiriess management mus* be iracticed on the farm as a whole. The unsuccessful man is also un mcessful because he follow the ag 'icuitural methods or business iractices known to be wrong. He nay even produce good crops, al though this is rare, and still fail in time essential point in his business nanagement of the farm. The vonder is that more farmers do >rofit by the success of their more luccesaful neighbors. It would leem that correct methods ought o be copied by all tboee living lear successful farmers, but such s not the case. Often the good practices of the successful farmer ire discredited simply because he las more money or better lands. It is not uncommon for the most helpful experiments or the best demonstrations of the experiment itations and agriculturial schools to be discredited by the unsuccess ful farmer. Often men refuse to learn from an experiment or de monstration conducted bv a rich or an experimenter as if the plants animals or soils knew that an ex periment was being conducted and acted diflerently than they would for other farmers. Surely any man who has a neignbor in the same line of business who is more auc cessful than himself can welj afford to copy his methods. - i- -? ? f Final Appeal To Voters l mjj : Cm M? r gg This is the very last opportunity that I Jg shall hav^to urge upon all of you the necessity E S of coming out to the polls Saturday and casting W jgf your ballot for Tax Collector.
