The colored brass ban 1 of this
town paraded the streets yesterday
afternoon, every member arrayed in a
grotesque C03tume, and attracted
much attention. Althau-ju reseatl?
organized this band p'ays very credi
tably. On last Monday chief of police
Whitaker, of Chapsl Hill, brought
here and placed in jail a negro named
Luke Mason against whom a true bill
was found at the last term of court in
this county for assault with a deadly
weapon.
At the meeting of the road com
missioners held here on last Monday,

There is an old saying "When
March comes in like a lamb it goes
out like a lion." If there be any truth
in this, then we may expect Hon-like
weather at the close of this month,
because last Sunday (the tirst day of
March) was as pleasant a spring day
as any body would wish for.
There have been a few cases of
smallpox in Hickory Mountain town
ship, nearly all of which cases have
almost recovered. These cases were
in the families of Messrs. J. E. Moore
and Will Pickard, and the smallpox is
supposed to have been caught by Mr.
Moore while on a trip to Orange coun
ty. In order to raise some money to
buy uniforms the colored brass band
M this place gave a minstrel show
last night at the court-house, which
was attended by about as many white
people as colored people and all seem
ed to enjoy the occasion. There were
some very amusing and humorous
scenes and local '-hits" that provoked
much laughter.
-By the act of the last Legislature

Prohibition Rally.
There will be a prohibition rally at
this place on Saturday, the 28th of
this month, when the prohibition
campaign in Chatham will be started
nst- auspiciously. The Methodist,
district conference will be held here
that week and the presiding e der. at
the suggestion of the pastor of this
circuit, has kindly consented to take a
icess of the conference oa t:ie 2Sth
long enough to have a er.nd nrohi-
bition rally.
This day (the 25th) is selected be
cause it was thought to be the most
op orlunetime that could be desig
nated, as there will be quite a large
crowd here attending the conference.
It is proposed to make It a county
meeting and to organize thoroughly
for the campai n iu Chatham. Several
prominen sp alters have ueen invited
to be present aud address the meeting.
and the sta-.e organizer of the Anti-
saioon League (Rev. 11. L. Davis) has
written that he will be sure to be here.
No. much interest has thus far been
aroused in this county over the ap
proaching prohibition election because
our people take it for granted as a
natter of course that prohibition will
be carried by a large majority, aud
therefore hey do not seem much con
cerned over the result. And just
therein (in this over-contidence) lies
the greates danger to the success of
the prohibitionists.

Chatham Turkey Hunters.
From the Stated vltle LanJmarlt.
Majnr Getre W. Clegrg-, who is
ot uiilv ii turkev hunter froiii
'way back but a native of Cii:ith.n-
county, Mhere, according to tie
veracious Ouatiium Kecord. lii- v
lo leata in hunting aud uitmt-i
everything else that are just a ht
tie ahead of the balance of tbt
estate but, as we were sayiu,
Major Clegg read in the Land
mark how a Chatham man boast
ed or the Iteuord did for liiin
that he had killed 15 wild turkev
the past beason, getting three fron.
one drove, or covey, as the bird
hunters say.
Then Major Clegg refreshed
memory and dropped into tht
Laudmark office. "In the winter
of 1853 '54," says the major, "I
was living in Chatham, my native
county, aud that winter I killed
40 wild turkeys. At one time 1
kiiled eight turkeys at one shot
aud at another time I killed foui
at one shot."
ISow belore the skeptics begin
to jeer and ask for an affidavit, e
waut to say that no affidavit is
necessary where Major Clegg is
known. He was a county officer in
Iredell for about 20 years, is a
steward in the Methodist Church,
of which he has been a member
nearly all his life, and if the major
had said he killed all 40 of the
turkeys at one shot the Landmark
would have accepted his state
ment without a word.
And Major London, of the Chat
ham liecoid, will tako notice that
Chatham turkey hunters of today,
who boast of 15 turkeys a season
not even two at one shot are
as children compared with the
hunters of Major Clegg's day in
Chatham.
TMaior Cie?sr is the oldest son
of Mr. Nat. Clegg, deceased, who
is nlfiasantlv remembered by our
older readers and was for many
years the county surveyor. In
justice to the Chatham hunters of
the present day we wouia say
that wild turkeys were much more
nnmfirous here when. Major Cle?r
lived here (over fifty years ago)
than they are now. we nope ne
will visit his old county next tur
key season and try his luck again.
Ed. Kecobd.j
Chanel Hill News: A small col
ored boy, son of Minnie Burnett,
was fearfully burned Jate Monday
evening by pouring kerosene oil
on the fire. There were two or
three other children around the
fireplace when the accident oc
curred, but managed to escape
without being burned. The boy's
face, hands and bodv are burned
so badly it is doubtful about his
recovery.
Killed by Avalanche. ...
Berne, Switzerland, March 2.
A large searching party is tryinv
to lecover the bodies of eleveu
men, including a doctor tnd en
gineer, who were killed by an av
alanche which swept down the
hostelry built to accommodate the
workers on the tunnel for the
Loetschbeg Railway, connecting
Berne with the Simplon tunnel.
Two children rushed into the ho
tel shouting a warning that the
avalaucbf was moving1 upon the
1 building Their warning was too
late, however. The children were
killed. Fifteen men were seriously
hurt. Several ot her buildings were
dpinaliKhed by the rush of air
caused by the displacement of the
atmosphere.
