The pro tracted meeting will begin at St. Paul's Holiness church the third Sunday in this month. The people began work on the new school house last Monday morning. Prof. Kizer was down last week and looked out the site and bought the land. Joe Parker of Concord is in on a few weeks' vacation. Cider pressing is taking the day in this nsighborhood. J. W. Fowler has just dosed a ten days' writing school at Liber ty. Mr. Fowler is a fine penman ; he goes from here to Gold Hill. Geo. Ribelin and Joe Campbell, by some means, missed their way last Sunday night and found themselves near Gold Hill. Guess they will know which road to take next time. Oar R. F. D. carrier, John G. Moose, is very punctual in bring ing around our mail. The telephone system is still growing and about five new 'phones have been installed re cently. Billy. CHRISTIANA. August 10. The infant child of Rev. and Mrs. L. B. Spracher died July 30 and was interred in the Union cemetery. The Chistiana and St. Luke's choirs have united and will have a two weeks singing. Rev. Colum bus Wagoner will be the teacher. The KappaB and the Athenians have decided to lock horns again. This time the debate is to be at Rockwell, Saturday evening Au gust 15th, at eight o'clock. The issue for discussion is : Resolved, That foreign immigration intu the United States at the present time is beneficial to the United States The Kappas, of Crescent, have the affirmative and her rep resentatives are R. Lee Trexler, Andrew J. Brown and Geo. H. Park. The Athenians have the negative and their representatives are Geo. H. Sifford, Clarence Peeler and Ermine Plott. A good time is assured and a large crowd is expected. T. J. Lyeriy has decided to leave the farm and go to Granite Quar ry, where he will engage his atten tion in the mercantile business. Xerxes and Ernest Moose, of Crescent, visited Jonas Bame, of near Liberty, last Saturday eve ning. There the sun set squarely in the east and rose in the- west next morning (according to their calculations). Of course, they knew it was only a trick of nature, yet one is aroused by a feeling of awe to see the sun to apparently rise from the unexpected western hills. We will have to make Calvin, of North Liberty, an honorary member of ,4Skiddoo Club" for his asking us the reason why a dog's tail is like the heart of a tree. The reasen is, because it is always farthest from the ,,batk." John C. Peeler has consented to teach the school at Rockwell this winter. The excursion to Asheville re minds us of the good time coming when prohibition is in full blast. The crowd to Asheville was some what turbulous. Bur, long before returning time most of the booze had been emptied and no more could be obtained in Asheville. So the crowd returned dry and harmonious. Xerxes New York Likes Bryan. Jacob Feldman has returned from New York City where he has been looking after his New York interets. He says financial con ditions are improving rapidly in the metropolis and on all sides there is a a more optimistic note. He says Bryan is astonishingly strong in Gotham. Mr. Feldman will return to New York after spending two weeks here. XX d PARK ACADEMY, The rains during the last week were welcomed by all, and there is fide prospect of a good corn crop Shuping Bros, are making many improvements in their mill in the way of new wheat and corn bins. They are also preparing to enlarge their mill building, which will render it more convenient in handling flour, chops, and othes milling produce. Did you ever hear tell of anyone gathering their fruit on Sunday? A reliable farmer of this section sayB that, while returning home from a visit to a neighbor, he saw two men in a damson orchard gathering damsons on Sunday just as if it were any other day. If anyone can beat this let him trot out his man. We hear that the school com mittee of Park Academy have re ceived several applications for po sitions as teachers in this acade my, both principal and assistant, for the ensuing school term. But we haven't beard whom they have selected as teachers. It seems as if "Old Happy" is very inquisitive about Marion. All we have to say to him is, if he will come around and introduce himself with the 'broad smile" that characterizes "Old Happy" Hooligan we will try to inform him as best we can about Marion. Another couple was sent on the road of life rejoicing when George Ludwig and Miss Maggie Shuping were bound in the holy bonds of matrimony at Rock Grove M. E. church, Sunday, August 9. Marion. GOLD HILL. Aug. 10. We have been having' nice rams during the past week which were badly ueeded in this immediate vicinity. Jas. Martin, D. L. Martin and John Johnson, who are employed at the gold mine in Yadkin Co., spent Sunday here with their families and returned this morning. They report good prog ress with the stamp mill, which is almost completed and will com mence operation in a few weeks. B. B. Miller, Esq., was down taking an inventory of the prop erty belonging to the Gold Hill mines last week. Frank Northcut has moved his family to Salisbury where he has a position with the Supply and Commission Co. George Drew and Miss Florence Morgan were united in marriage a few weeks ago, and . are residing with the groom's parents for the present. T. G. Myers, who has been hold ing down a position as street car conductor in Washington, D. C, is at home on the sick list. Gray says he lost so much sleep and the weather was so hot it about got the best of him. W. G. Newman has sued the Gold Hill Copper Co. for $20,000 said to be due him and it is re ported that the mine has gone into a receiver's hands, B. B. Miller being appointed reciever. " Mike.

The little daughter of Harrison Russell has the typhoid fever, but is improving. Bobby. Excellent Health Advice. Mrs, M. M. Davison, of No 379 Gifford Ave., San Jose, Cal., says : "The worth of Electric Bitters as a general family remedy, for headache, biliousness and torpor of the liver and bowels is so pro nounced that I am prompted to bo Bay a word in its favor, for the benefit of those seeking relief from such afflictions. There is more health for the digestive or gans in a bootle of Electric Bitters than in any other remedy I know of." Sold under guarantee at all drug stores. 50c. 0R6AN CHURCH. August 10th, 1903. We have been having plenty of rain. The Missionary Day and exer cises were a grand success Sunday. An excellent sermon was preach ed by Rev. J. H. C, Fisher, af ter which the crowd participated in a dinner which was served on the ground. After dinner there were songs, speeches, recitations, etc., by the Sunday school after which there was a young people's society organized with splendid results. The- women have been working industriously this year, having raised $105 75. Special in terest was taken in the nickel band which raised $25 27. There was a handsome Bible awarded to the one who had made the most money with a nickel. Miss Amy Bost was awarded the Bible. She had raised about $2.50. The Bible was presented by Prof, Fisher. Derby Barger was visiting Old Happy again Sunday night. This time Old Happy gave him a load of wood but he did riot appreciate it very much as it was found in the yard Monday morn ing. John 0. Ketner ia also going off to school this year, but has not decided where he will go. Apple butter making is in order now at Daniel Bargers. Last week he made 80 gallons, or pos sibly more. Luther A. Fesperman is going to China Grove this week on some "business." Say, Bro. Xerxes, I want you not to think that musical dog is the only thing in the world. The sharp man" of this com munity was down at Lower Stone again Sunday night. Old Happy. The Yost Reunion. The eighth annual reunion of the Yost generation was c( lebrat- ed at Yost on Wednesday, August 5th, and from what we have learn ed it was about the best that has ever been held. It was the writer's pleasure to attend the reunion and he believes that the word car ries with it its meaning, for it was a great reunion, not only for relatives, but old friends and acquaintances who for years have been separated. But they on this occasion were again presented face to face, old ties rrenewed, and we felt the significance of the beauti ful and appropriate song : "Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds. Is like to that above, The spirit of love prevailed throughout the entire day and when evening was come and to part was necessary we all felt that it was well with us that we had been there and spent day together. We listened to Beveral good ad dresses, Those who addressed the audience in a most pleasing manner and upon fitting subjects were Kev. Uimord insner. ot Faith ; Bismarck Capps, Esq , of Salisbury, andProf . A, W. George, of Mt. Pleasant, These ad dresses were very attentively and earnestly listened to by, at least calculation, two thousand people. These gentlemen not only made us proud of such a reunion, but of this entire American nation cf ours. Ine Kockwell band tur nished the music for the day which was ably rendered. There was an elaborate dinner and it was enjoyed by a large crowd. There were so many good things to eat brought in by friends and those who wished for all a delightful occasion that there was not room on the table to spread more than half what was brought in. Of course the necessity of a longer table was observed, and everybody may expect a table prepared of ample size next year, as we know the people of that'community are believers in plenty of good things to eat, and want to Bee it put in reach of all. It would be useless to try to say how much the dinner was enjoyed, for we know human nature too well. The entire pro gram was not carried out for the reason that the speakers were not all present, but the committee is to be congratulated on secuiiug the services of the above speakers who so willingly and ably enter tained the audience. A Visitor. Notice, to Members of Union and Chris tiana Churches!

Plain Talks on Fertilizers Increasing and Safeguarding the Wheat-Crop The use of com mercial fertilizers on Mhe wheat crop is year ly becoming more general proof enough that it pays, and pays well. Too many farmers, however, use fertilizers without due regard for the special needs of their soils. Often they buy the cheapest grades. Or they use very small quantities. That such unscientific use of fertili zers has proved profitable 'indi cates what rt can accomplish for wheat grow ers if used more carefully and intelli gently. The best way to learn just what fertilizers will pay you best is to make com parative tests on a small scale with your soils then use a HANCOCK BROS. & COS. vL PLUG TOBACCO is one of the biggest plugs of standard grade flue cured y tobacco ever sold for 10c It goes further and lasts longer in the going than any other brand made.
