ANNUAL PICNIC • .
or Boy's and Girls' Corn and Tomato '
ClOtM. " . j
"Shady Retreat," the country homel
of Supt. J. B. Robertson, which is
situated one mile west of. Burling
ton, was on last Saturday the scene
of the third annual picnic of the
boy's and girls' agricultuial clqbs :
of the county.
The day was ideal, as the showers > 
of the day before polished the tree*';
and crops in their coats of green and i;
mellowed the air with moisture and
life.
A large banner of "Welcjme"
overhung the entrance drive, and
seats scattered throughout the lawn
awaited the riaitors. More than 100
of the club members came from all
parts of the county. They came with
well-filled baskets and with fruita
from the trees and vines. A long
table was loaded at noon with all
kinds of eatablea, fruits of various
kinds being very prevalent. After a
splendid diuner was enjoyed, ad
dresses were made by Dr. Hiil of the
Federal Agricultural Department,
Washington, D. C., A. K. Robertson
of Boy's Corn Club, Raleigh, N. C.,
and Mr. Turner of the Demonstra
tion Work of the county.
Feasting, speaking and general
enjoyment was the order of the day.
Several scenes and group pictures
were made during the day for futuie
reference.
MR. J. H. VERNON FOR THE '
LEGISLATURE.
* —o—
The Democratic convention is
called to meet next Saturday, Au
gust 22. We want to nominate our
representative to the Legislature. :
We need a progressive man. We
want a man to look to our every
interest both in county and State. 
We have looked over the field and 
have decided that man is our es
teemed citizen, John H. Vernon. ;
He is a high toned Christian gen
tleman. A man who will look to :
the interest of every man, woman
and child in our great CQpnty. He
is not seeking this honor, but we
can make no mistake in nominating
him for our representative. Bur
lington township has always helped
to make our county Democratic,
and Mr. John H. Vernon on our
ticket means a larger victory. Mr.
Vernon has always had the best
interests of the county nt heart,
and we hope that eVery Democrat
who pttenas the meeting next Sat
urday will vote for our worthy
chairman.
MANY DEMOCRATS.
Republican Convention Met Saturday.
A convention was held in the
court house laßt Saturday afternoon
under the call of the chairman of
the County Republican Executive
Committee. The invitation was not
only to Republicans, but to Pro
gressives, Independents, and any
discontented ones. A pretty sweep
ing call, but, nevertheless, the at
tendance was small. There seemed
to be more observers than partici
pants. Chairman Geo. W. Vestal
called the convention to order and
Mr. Junius H. Harden was made
chairman of the convention and
Mr. T. C. Montgomery secretary.
Delegates were appointed to the
other conventions and a resolu
tion was passed asking, for a re
port of the workings of the salary
system for county officers, and one
favoring the abolishment of the of
fice of County Treasurer. Beveral
speeches were made, and it. was
noted that speeches were made by
those who two years ago favored
and opposed the newspaper organ
of the county being run. as a pro
gressive paper. They seemed to
have harmonized at some time or
other and avoided any exploitation
of divergent views to the conven- 
tion. This item is headed "Republi
can Convention" and we will let it
go at that, for the old-liners ap
peared to be in charge. It is un
derstood that a mass convention
will be called for a later date to
nominate a county ticket.
. Resolutions of Condolence.
In the midst of life we are in
death.
Whereas: It is with profound
sadness that we, as a teachers'
body, have learned of the sudden
departure of this life of our friend
and brother teacher, George Staten
Mabry, which occurred at his home
in the town of Graham, April 21st,
1914. And, whereas, The deceased
was for many years a faithful
and active teacher In the public
schools of this county, and
Whereas, The deceased, by de
votion to duty and ceaseless appli
cation of right principles to the
work In the school room, and stu ■
diousness on his pArt for self im
provement, begat for himself a Jst
and much deserved reputation of
being a good and efficient teach
er.
We, therefore, as a body of
brother teachers, humbly bow in
submission to he work of Him who
doeth all hings well And would
most respectfully commend the vir
tues of the deceased to others of
the profession.
We hereby extend to his bereft
widow our bertfelt sympathy, and
commend her to Him, who Is too
wise to make a mistake and too
kind to be unjust.
Resolved .That a copy of these
resolutions be spread upon the
minutes of the Alamance County
Teachers' Association, and that a
copy be sent to the bereft, wife of
the deceased, and that a copy be
sent to the Alamance Gleaner for
publication.

ably pleased with the large attend
ance and keen interest displayed.
Three years .ago when the v Insti
tute first met here the farmers did
not know its practical value to
them and not many of them came
out. Last year there was a good
attendance, and this year It has
been phenominal, considering that
the fine rains of the last week put
the ground in order for plowing,
and that the farmers are far be
hind with their work.
A strong program was presented
both in the morning and in the af
ternoon, and "both for the farmers
and their wives. In the morning
for the men. Mr. J. M. Hendrlx
lectured on Intelligent Farming;
and proved that the only salvation
of North Carolina, which is an ag
ricultural State, primarily is an in
creased yield per acre. He showed
that while the gross yield Is grad
ually increasing, this is due to in
creased acreage and increased pop
ulation. This afternoon he show
ed the farmers the effect of this
necessary increased yield. The
farmers were delighted with his
address.
Dr. F. B. Owen also delighted the
men with his treatment of the very
important subject of hog cholera.
He traced the history of the dis
ease and showed how the frightful
economic loss it entailed touched
every citizen of he land. He said
in 1012 the Congress of the United
States had appropriated grudg
ingly (SO, OOO to try the serum cure
in three western counties, which
was so successful that In February,
1911, it» appropriated jfMA.OOO for
Ita further demonstration. The
farmers took notes and expressed
their sincere appreciation of his
suggestions.
Mr. K. W. Gracber, farm demon
strator of Mecklenburg county,
spoke of the particular work of his
department and told how he had
helped many farmers during the
present drought to plow their
lands and plant their crops with
out rain by crossing, harrowing
and waiting for the moisture to as
cend.
The farmers' wives wf-re equally
well pleased With their speakers,
and 150 of them heard the lectures
of both sessions. Mrs. John W.
Kobinson discussed for them in the
morning the curing of meats and In
the afternoon health and sanitation
—vital themes which she handled
in a vital way.
Miss Lucie Webb told the women
how to make bread in the morning,
making use of the new domestic
science kitchen of the College In
demonstration. In the afternoon
she spoke of the Convenience* of
the Home.
During the close of the iUy the
farmers and their wives left for
homes, having enjoyed the lectures
of the day, and also the great pic
nic dinner spread for them under
the arching shade tree* of the cam
pus. tl was unanimously voted to
continue the Institute for the next
year.

SPEARING OF PROVERBS.
I>i4 You Hirer Notice How Thej on-

Proverb*, like physician*, seldom

trusting soul you are, to "every
thing come* to him who wslts" on
ly to discover that your next door
neighbor ia ordering hi* life suc
cessfully according To the precept
"H? who would find muat seek."
You engage in a somewhat ahady
transaction, quoting ganvjv to
yosy friends, "The end justifies the
means," only to be aweetly and pi
ously advised, to "never do evil
that good may come of it." and so
so it goes. The man who orders
hi* life by • proverb la, to put it
quite plainly n chump.
Here are a few of the proverbs
that have agreed to disagree.
It la fortune, not wisdom, that
rules man's life. Wisdom is the
conqueror of fortune.
The wise man haa a short
tongue. Silence ia he virtue of
those who' are not wise.
The face la the Index of the mind.
A fair akin often covera a crooked
mind.
Trust not to appearancea. A fair
terior la a ailent recommendation.
Oood fortune ever fights on the
aide of the prudent. Fortune helps
the bold.
A rolling stone gatthers no moss.
Push on. Keep moving.
Out of sight, out of mind. Ab
sence makea the heart grow fonder.
A bad beginning makes a good
ending. A good Wginning makes
good ending.
Hirda of a feather flock togeth

each other company.
" All truths are not to be told.
