A meeting of chairman of sev
eral different organizations of
the city for the purpose of get
ting in working shape for the
bond issue of $300,000 for the
county held a meeting in the
commissioners room at the court
house last Thursday afternoon.

D. IMarkham, chairman of the

ler, chairman of the county Dem
ocratic Executive committee, J.
V. Rigsbee, chairman of the
county Republican " Executive
committee, and several citizens

Photographs of Snakes.
The Sparks shows that were
here last Monday carried two or
more large snakes that were ex
hibited in the side show.
During the morning the man
ager went up to the photographic
studio of Miss Katie Johnson and
wanted to know if she could
make some negatives for him.
After being assured that he
could get them, he called for a
strong string with which to tie a
tow sack that he carried in his
hand. After he was gone Misses
Johnson, Morris and Wheeler
were wondering what was in the
sack, and one of them went over
and tried to ascertain; but in' a
very careful manner.
Their feelings can better be
imagined when they learned upon
the return of the show man that
the sack contained two large
snakes, and that heVanted some
photos made with the lady that
handles the snakes holding them
up. The photos were made, and
before the snakes were carried
away the young ladies were
over the shock and did not mind
touching them, or lifting the
sack after they were placed
therein.
Miss Johnson says she does
not mind making the photograph
of a snake if he would "just be
still long enough."
The Sparks Shows.
Last Monday afternoon just as
the Recorder went to press the
John Sharks shows were giving
a performance at George Lyon
park.
mi . t .
ine snow was all that many
expected in one of the kind, and
the crowd in attendance were
pleased, ft was noticeable that
the crowd with the show and all
the wagons and. horses were
much neater than is usually seen
with a circus.
Love at First Sight.
mi
mere was a quiet marriage
here last Monday that was a re
sult of what is generally termed
"love at first sight." The con
tracting parties were Miss Mamie
Howerton, formerly of Roanoke,
Va., and Mr. Frank Bennett, of
New York. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. E. M. Hoyle,
pastor of Mangum Street? Metho
dist church.
The bride came here sometime
ago from Roanoke, Va., has been
stenographer for General J. S.
Carr. The groom came to Dur
ham from New York, and had
known his bride just one week
before marriage. The couple
went up to Greensboro, where
they spent several days before
coming back to Durham. They
will remain in Durham for two
weeks or more before leaving for
their future home in the North.

Died Last Sunday.
Mrs. Catherine Council, aged
G7 years, died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. L. F. Williams,
313 Hamseur street, last Sunday.
She had been ill but a few days,
pneumonia was the cause of her
death.
The remains were carried to
the old home in Chatham county
for interment, the burial taking
place at Ebcnezcr church.
There may be a fifth district
combine but it is our opinion that
the combination consisted of half
a dozern men who wanted to run
Kitchin off his roost and they ac
complished it.-Grecnsboro Rec

S. II. Reams, who has held
position with the Seaboard Air
Line railway in this city for a
number of years, and who was
recently transferred to Raleigh,
will return to Durham the first
of next mooth. He has accepted
the position of general freight
and passenger agent of the Dur
ham and South Carolina railroad,
with headquarters here. His
many friends are glad that he is
to remain in Durham.
The matter of pardoning crim
inals occupies agood deal of the
time of the governor, and no one
is to blame for such a state but
the governor himself, for if it
were known that he would not
interfere so much with the find
ings of the courts he would not
be troubled with so may petitions.
