I can hear the toot of 17 saw mill whistles, and all are work ing all they can with a limited number of hands. They are making good offers for men to work, but cannot get them at any price, There is much sickness in this community. - The rural , mail carrier could not get along last Saturday be cause Panther creek was above fording.

They enjoyed ft big fish fry during the day. The water courses in this sect ion were exceedingly high last Saturday, causing considerable inconvenience to travelers. Can' horses be hypnotized? It seems so to me. For instance, go to a regular horse trader to buy ft horse and you want ft real gentle horse, and they will bring out one that is apparently the laziest thing in creation, take the! same horse home with you for a few days and the SDell wears off and he is scared at everything, and will run away at the first opportunity. . If you are not in need of such a gentle horse go to the the same trader and tell him that you want a horse that can and will go and he will have one brought out that will prance, shy and snort, like a 3 year old, you buy him or trade for him, and if you are not in a hurry, the spell will wear off and you will have a time getting the lazy thing home. A Uarge and badly needed bridge has been built over the Crabtree Creek, just this side of the under way crossing, at the Scarlett place. B. F. H. BDrfli Mills Itens. This community has been suf fering for the past two weeks for lack of rain, and a good many of our farmers have been water ing and planting tobacco, but on Friday and Saturday we were blessed with a fine rain and as a result most people will finish planting.

The great rain that fell last Saturday did a great deal of dam age in this community. Pear trees are looking bad in this section. The ends of the limbs are dyin and some are of the opinion that the whole tree will die. Haven't heard of any one having any pears on their trees. J. II.

Potato bugs are plentiful this year, and they are not satisfied when they have eat off all the leaves, but continue until they have destroyed the entire stalk.

Emery, of Northside, call in to see us this Week. IWQ K STABLE ADDRESSES' AT TRINITY. Her. Ronald SageHackay,oI New York, ; and Justice David J. Brewer, ol Washington. Among the many attractions for "people at Trinity College this week the addresses of Rev. Ron ald Sage Mackay, of New York, and Judge David J. Brewer, of Washington, rank as the best. The sermon of Dr. Mackay was delivered Tuesday , morning at 10:45 o'clock, and the auditorium was full. His subject was "The Man of Conviction," and it was all that the large congregation in the Craven Memorial Hall had been led to believe that it would be. , Judge David J. Brewer spoke Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock on "Universal Peace," after which diplomas were delivered to 40 graduates. At a meeting of the Trustees Tuesday afternoon J. Ed. Stagg was : elected secretary of the board to succeed the late Captain V. Ballard. The annual meeting of the alumni association' was held at 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and officers elected for the next year. The address of Prof. Jerome Dowd, of Charlotte, was said by all that heard it to have been ex cellent. His subject was "Re lation; of the College to the modern Religious Problem." Thereception to the graduating classgiven in the puke building Wednesday evening was largely attended. i . . ii , Underground Wires. The board of city aldermen met last Monday night Much business was transacted, includ ing the regular reports and or ders regarding streets and hyd rants, and many small matters of routine city business. Probably the most important action was the passing of a reso lution requiring the Inter-State Telephone Company to show cause why they should not place their wires under the ground. This action was taken, says the resolution, in consideration of the fact that the city is spending much money to beautify the streets and that the telephone poles detract much from its ap pearence. No definite action was taken but the matter is left open so that the telephone people may present their side of the matter. Other matters considered by the aldermen was the increasing of the appropriation of money to Lincoln hospital from $75 to $125 per month, and an address by Dr. J. J. Wolfe, of the Biological department of Trinity College on the subject of pure milk supply and sanitation law. No action was taken on the latter question. While the tax assessors are in creasing the valuation to what it ought to be, they will of course, pay heed to numerous discrimin ations wherein one man pays on a higher valuation than another does on like property. The as sessment all over the state is too low but there are some citizens everywhere who pay more than they ought to when compared with others. Oxford Ledger. Panama Canal-Erie Canal.
