Several of the candidates have made a good showing this week, and there is more interest among those in the contest as a whole than at any time since the voting bean. The short time in which votes may be secured should cause all to begin work to send in sub scriptions at once. Your friends will gladly remember you, as a number have done this week, if you will only call their attention to the fact that you are in the content. v s ' Look over the list of names and the votes each contesant has and help them out in this effort to recieve the highest number of votes and the reward that goes with it Following is the standing of each: Miss Annie Reads Long Miiis Irene Xurrty Mum Laura Tinmen., j. 2510 2C90 2G00 2S00 J.

The county commissioners have been in session this week. The n county map, which has been under preparation for some time, was presented by Mr. C. M. Oferand accepted by the tccrd. , - : ', New road work was kid out tzi many other nutters that dn their attention was locked tftsr. Jurors for the next term of court were drawn: , POSTOlfiCE SCKAf WAgSSlMG IP. . Fire Candidates Sttrrlsy Around Among 1 ; Ifcelr Friends. ; The appointment of a new postmaster for Durham is sche duled to be on hand in May, and those desiring the appointment are busy with every favorably thing they have to put forward There are five candidates for position and while all sorts of ru mors ari? afloat, nothing definite can be said, because it will not be known who is to have the job un til the appointment is confirmed , Messrs John T. Pope and J, K Mason are possibly the most ac tivo candidates so far, as local people are concerned and their friends are more in earnest in Durham to see them receive con sideration. Reports say that the county or ganization will be consulted be fore the appointment is made, and another report is to the ef fect that the county chairman is quietly working to get the ap pointment for himself, and in fact the work for the appoint ment seems to be up to the man that can get it. As in all appointments of this nature, it does not look as rosy as the fellow that worked in the campaign thought it would when he was hollering and making himself hoarst for the G. 0. P. because when something worth while is going it looks good to many that did not think about it before. 1 , . The outcome will be watched with interest and the fight wil become mere 'interesting as the appointment approaches.

When Mr. John Browning, who lives in the Geer Mill section, fed his mule a few nights ago, the mule was well and hearty, but on going back to feed in the morning, he found the mule dead. Tne loss falls quite heavi ly upon him. Ben F. Hester and family spent part of Sunday at Charlie Hester's. "Backward, turn backward, 0 time in'your flight and make me a child again just fir tonight." But time never turns back, but keeps on and on all the time. It snatches the wee babe from Its mother's breast and carries him on to childhood; rushes him on to manhood; flies with him to old age, and pushes him in the grave. It seems that here we, might be satisfied and leave him alone, but not so, he carries him on to the dust from which he came here to leave him until time is no more, and eternity has dawned. Caleb Garrard and family spent Saturday and Sunday tt 'Squire D. S. Garrards. Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Hester and family spent Sunday at D. S. Garrards.. ...
