MATTHEW'S.
August 5th.
The health of our coBimunity ia
some better than it was some time
ago.
Bro. Trotter you can boast of
that big fish you caught, but I can
tell you something you won't be
lieve. I have got a blackberry
briar that just growed this spring
and is fifteen feet high. If any
one wants to see the briar it is
here to show for itself.
Lucile, the little daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Lynn, is very
sick, but we hope she may soon
recover.
I guess the people in our com
munity are all in cold blood, as
there has not been any ice cream
suppers in a good while. Wed
ding bells are expected to ring
any time.
Wheat-threshing is a thing of
the past in our community.
I saw last week, that uncle
Josh, from Millertbwn, said he
was not eating anything but
beans, roasting ears, blackberry
pie, cucumbers and tomatoes. I
guess he hasn't threshed wheat
yet.
Settin' in the shade and drink
. in lemonade is all we are doing
now.
We had a severe rain and wind
storm last Tuesday evening a
. week ago. It tangled the corn
very badly and also damaged some
timber.
W. M. Wyatt is engaged in the
carpenter's business at Salisbury;
He is employed by D. L. Arey.
Dave Shepherd has bought him
a new' buggy. They eay he hauled
three girls the other day.
Last week we saw two men pass
C. H. Shepherd's saw mill in a
two-horse turn-out. Supposed to
be bird hunters, but it is rather
soon to hunt birds.
J. C. Hill has been hauling
lumber for C. H. Shepherd. .
Rev. J. F. Hodge is one ot our
leading sportsmen. Back in the
spring they say he killed three
wild turkeys at one shot and re
cently caught two fine turtles.
The Bean-Stoner Threshing Co.,
has threshed 10,000 bushels of
grain this season and is still
threshing.
Blackberries are about gone
now, but watermelons are coming
in and so we have got something
to eat anyhow. River-bottom
melons are fine this year.
Will Casper is again employed
at C. H. Shepherd's saw mill as
fireman.
A. W. Hill visited his daughter,
Mrs, W. R. Bean, last Saturday
night. Clown.
continues, boys, if .you do leave.
Several nights ago some rrgue
entered the watermelon patch be
longing to the orphan boys. It's
mean to destroy for those who
hrve to spare, but it is meaner to
rob those who are fatherless and
are dependent upon others. So
do not do the Barae any more.
A Christian Endeavor Society
has been organized at Bethany
church. More than 20 have been
enrolled as members. Each Sun
day night it has meetings. Let
all who can attend, for the society
is truly what the name implies.
Rev. A, S. Peeler has been vis
iting his many friends around
here.
If George Henry Calvin Parks
desires a new place for lunch, all
he has to do is to see the widow
or her daughter, for it is all the
same.
Bethany Sunday School was
represented at the township meet
ing last Friday.
if
D. M. McCombs looks better
since he quit thestore and went
to work.
James McCombs had an attaok
of the fever last week, but is get
ting some better.
James Goodman has just com
pleted two chimneys, the first he
has built in about ten years,
Jack Brown has closed his school
at Holshouser school house.
Miss Roxie Trexler is teaching
at the Peeler school house. .
Where is Xerxes? The mem
bers of the Kappa Alpha Debating
Society ''think he's dreaming too.
He is a curious fellow. He ad
vertises debates but won't give
any results whatever. We can
easily answer. It was because he
got beat so bad.
r I t . -mm-
oneer up at Marians and give
the Cappa Alpha debaters a chal
1 TTT 1 ...
ienge. we nave waited more
than a month to hear of another
debate. Sick, eh, of the first.
That looks like debating for the
championship in North Carolina.
we are told that the society has
about flickered. Give ui another
chance to hear the Kappa Alpha
boys do you up brown.

The farmer continues (to rest
now after braving, so many dif
ficulties during his .busy season.
It must be understood that it was
an unusual season and that cot
ton has been worked one or . two
times more than other years.
There will be an educational
rail at it. Matthews August
14th.
Geo. H. C. Park is suffering
very much from an in-growing
nail on his left bigtoe, which was
caused'by a cow tramping on bis
foot some months ago.
Luther A Boger of Gold KnoK
is helping the Barger crowd thresh
wheat this season.
The educational rally at Faith
Saturday was very good. Prof.
H. C. Fisher of Mon,t Amoena
Seminary, Mt. Pleasant, made a
strong plea for educated daughters.
Prof, McAIister of the Collegiate
Institute made an earnest and
effectual plea for the higher edu
cation of young men, proving that
56 per cent, of the world's power
is furnished by the College grad
uate and that these grandates form
only one per cent, of the human
population., John Moose a former
graduate of the Institute, made
a fine address on education aho.
We notice that Bro. Bart, has
been slinging mud at the Farmer's
Allianoe. Wonder if he knows
what caused its failure. It was
caused by the old worn out politi
cians who had long since left the
field of action, and wanted to
make it a political party. Bat the
farmers united and walked out.
and that was the last. The farm
er has sometimeVbeen shunned by
a few because his average of
educational advantages was not
equal to theirs, but never because
he was fickle and his promises not
as true as steel. The former is
kind hearted and has in times past
united with his fellow country
men again and again when ever
occasion made such necesary, and
have every good reason to beleive
hj will do so in the future.
Xerxes.
Yes, the farmer is all right.
He has proven himself faithfnl
to every trust: as a soldier,
citizen and Christian. He has
boen, and will continue to be, the
bulwark of our country. He is
sane and safe and among them
is found many of our very best
citizens. There is no division
among sensible psople on thia
point, so why continue to stir the
waters? While Bart, and Lee dis
agree on some subjects, they are
as one on this. Ed. Watchman.
CRESCENT.
August 12th.
Rain is needed very badly. Some
of the early corn is suffering and
will be cut short if the dry weath
er continues.
Aiadar lomcsanyi, who has
been- confined to his bed with
typnoid fever since the first of
July, is getting well, and we hope
that he will soon be well again
For the last month, while sick,
away from his people, who live
in Europe, he has been attended
to by the many friends he has
made since he came to Crescent
to-school. He has been good-na
tured all the time and his recov

all.
Wm. F. Josey, the merchant.
spent Saturday night and SuLday
in Salisbury visiting his sister,
Mrs. Geo. Brown.
Rev. J. M, L. Lyerly, Misses
Maggie Lyerly, Daisy Fisher and
the members of Nazareth Orphan's
Home, went to Greensboro last
Thursday to attend a missionary
conference. They report having
the largest delegation.
Misses Rosa Fink and Annie
Goodman, who have been sick
with typhoid fever, are getting
well, we are glad to note.
Work is being hurried at Mrs.
Miller's house, In a few more
weeks it will be completed. It.
will be a place for school boys
and school girls to board.

When the
Hair Falls
Then it's time to act! No time
to study, to read, to experi
ment! You want to save your
hair, and save it quickly, too!
So make up your mind this
very minute that if your hair
ever comes out you will use
Ayer's Hair Vigor. It makes
the scalp healthy. The hair
stays in. It cannot do any
thing else. It's nature's way.
