The bail storm of last Saturday night which passed over a portion or Freemans and Harris township, this county, did considerable dam age to the various crops in its range. Great damage was also done at Wake Forest. Among those whose tobacco, corn and cot ton crops suffered in this county, we hare beard of tbe following: W. C. Fuller, Alex. Frazier, Bobt. Knott, Robert and Heury Elling ton, Wiley Young, W. B. Hunter, J. H. Hoyle, J. A. Clifton, Norflet Harris, P. B. Lambert, A. J. P. Harris, J. N. Harris and Nithan Odum, and possibly others. Tbe hail stones were as large as par tridge eggs, and where it drifted, the bail was said to be eight or ten inches deep. We hope that the damage will not prove as great as at first thought. re j vice v HI A J? A. 1 q hool. He says tnat ne win put iorm utrvnnous efforts to make the Academy worthy of patronage.

In the first Blace. he wants a boy who doesn't know ,oo much; business men generaly like to run their own business, and prefer some ill listen to their way rather than to try to teach them new kinds : secondly, they want a prompt boy one wh understands seven o'clock as exactly seven, not ten minutes past : third, an - i i 1 i -..-.f o f yrk i A r Tnf industrious uoy, wuu m uuu aw - f in a little extra work ,in case of need : fourth, an honest boy honest in his ser vice, as well as in the matter of dollars and cents ; and fifth, a good-natured boy who will keep his temper even if his em ployer loses his own now and then!" It doesen't pay to be too funny. A man who formerly boarded at a certain alwav to call for "old hen" when he saw chicken on the bill of fare. The table girl and cook thereupon pre pared for him, and whenever chicken was served an old hen was provided, and this particular boarder always got a gen erous piece of that. After this order of things had continued for three months without the boarder suspecting the joke, nn ri-jTT ha onUeA the waitress to him and told her he was getting sick' of old hens, and he'd like to have a taste of chicken. "Very well' was the reply, "you can have it, but you ordered old hen regnlarly, and as this house always pleases its guests when it is possible we've been giving you what you ordered." According to adjournment, the Confed erate Veterans' Association met in the Court House the loth day of J une 1896, with Comrade C. M. Cooke in the Chair, and Comrads E. T. Cooke and A. S. Strother as Secretaries. The first busi ness on hand was the reports of the Com mittees appointed at last meeting to as certain the number of Veterans who would attend the reunion of Confederate Veter ans at Richmond Va., on June 30th. The several reports showed that about 140 would go. Dr. J. S. Meadows, Com mittee on accommodations at Richmond, read a letter from the Ajt., General stating that there would be ample accom modations for lodging and food. (It was suggested by the Chairman that all who could, had better take along a little ham and chicken). The Committee on trans portation reported that several coaches would be sent to Louisburg, and that the train would leave here at 7 a. m., and that the round trip ticket would be about $3.50. The following Committees were appointed to solicit funds with which to provide tickets for those Old Veterans who were financially unable to go : Dr. J. E. Malorie, T. F. Bowen, B. F. Wilder, E. T. Cooke, Geo. Winston, H. C. Kearney, Stephen Dement, P. G. Alston, Jack Griffin, and J. G. Creekmore. It was requested that the above Com mittee report at Dr. Malone's office at 11 o'clock Saturday the 20th. The follow ing Committee was appointed on Badges: M. E. Joyner, G. H. Macon, J. S Meadows, J. E. Malone. 'The amount collected $2.95 was ordered to be handed over to J. E. Malone. Dr. E . S. Foster was appointed Ser geant, Drs. O. L. Ellis and J. B. Clifton were elected Surgeons. The Association then organized themselves into a Confed erate Veterans' Camp, which was named by a Committee composed of Dr. O. L. Ellis, E. T. Cooke, and E. G. Conyers. At the suggestion of this Committee, the Camp was with unanimous consent named The "J oe Davis Camp Confederate Veter ans" of Franklin county, N. C. There J. H. Upperman Jr., Accidentally Falls Into the River.' Last Wednesday evening about 5 o'clock some one came running over the bridge shouting that Johnnie Upperman ; had fallen into the river and was drown ing. At once the editor of the Times and a number of others'ran to the spot, about five hundred yards down the river, where we found a number of fishing poles stuck into a steep embankment, we saw signs of where some one had slipped down the embankment into the water, which was about 8 feet deep. Jackson Yarborough, colored, who was fishing on the opposite side of the river, saw Mr. Upperman when he fell into the water, but he was powerless to assist him, and at once gave the alarm. As soon as pos sible the body of the unfortunate man was fished up by means of large grab hooks, and every effort possible to bring him bank to life, was put forth, but it was too late (a half hour having elapsed) and the body was carefully car ried by friends to the home of his parents It was quite a sad accident, and the bereaved parents have the sympathy of the entire community, ine tunerai ser vice took place from the Baptist church yesterday evening, and the remains were interred in the Cemetery, a large number attending the ceremony.

Since my last visit there the Hotel Louis, a very handsome structure, occupies quite a long square, and it is a honor and an or u amen t to the town. I saw other nice buildings going np which is good proof that Louisburg is hustling. I found the crops of all kinds in your county good, except wheat and oats. The public roads, with some exceptions, were rough, owing to the heavy rains. Misses Annie Taylor and Anna Collins returned from Youngsville last week. The politicians seem to be tender footed and are moving slow at present. The Democrats have called their Township meetings next Thursday to meet in coun ty convention on the 22nd, only to send delegates to the various conventions. They will not make any nominations at that convention for any county offices. None can tell which way the political cat is going to jump. The wheat and oat crops in this county are the poorest. in many years, owing to the dry spring. Fruit of all varieties this year is al most a complete failure.
