For Annexation
of the citizent
of Williams township wish to be
annexed to Dfcrhara county, and
an effort is being made to get
wra icKisiacure to make the an
nexation, but we are pleased to
sav uiac mere is no probability
or its being done. This is by no
means me nrst time such an ef-
iort nas been made but all in
vain, lwo years ago a large
number of the citizens of that
section petitioned the county
commissioners of Durham to in
dorse their effort for annexation
and to r quest the legislature
men in session to make the an
nexation, but the Durham com
missioners refused to endorse or
help the effort.
theT meeting last week an-
otner pennon for the same our
pose was presented to the county
c mmissioners of Durham, but
agun thev declined to help the
petitioners We do not blame
our countymen in that section for
wishing to oe annexed toDur
nam. whose county-seat is much
more accessible to them than is
our town, but we earnestly op
pose losing such good citizens
and such a prosperous part of
our county.
The territory sought to be an
nexed to Durham is the northern
part of Williams townshio con
taining about thirty square miles,
and is thus described in the bill
that has been introduced in the
House of Representatives:
"Beginning at the south w st
corner of Durhim counts- and
the southeast corner of Orange
county, and running thence in a
straight line in the same angle
of the present west boundary
line of said county of Durham in
a southerly direction five miles:
thence in an easterly direction in
a line parallel with the southern
boundary line of Durham county
six miles, more or less, to the
Wake countv line; and thence
with the western line of Wake
rtounty in a northerly direction
five miles, more or less, to the
southern boundary line of Dur
ham countv."
The committee, to which the
bill is referred, will have a meet
ing next Tuesday afternoon for
the purpose of hearing both sidos,
and we urge as many f our
countymen as can attend to be
sure to go to Raleigh and show
to the committee their opposition
to having the bill passed. Our
county has ben cut uo enough
and has been dismembered often
enough, and should not be dis
membered as is proposed.
Prize Offered.
The Winnie Davis Chapter of
U. D. C. will give a handsome
medal for best essay on the
causes that brought on the War
between the States, to be written
bv any pupil in any of the schools
of Chatham county. THs medal
will be awarded by a committee
to be hereafter appointed from
different parts of the county.
The essays must be Sent in bv
Apr.l 1st. The object of this is
to stimulate the study of historv
in the schools of the county. The
teachers of the county are urged
to instruct the pupils to enable
them to get up thse papers.

the writer, who mu?t certify
that he or she had no help in th"
c imposition of th essay. I
must be in the hand vritmc of
the author and not less than 1500
words.
We cannot too highb commend
the Daughter of the Confeder
acy for thu encouraging thi
study among the young folks of
our county.

NATURE'S REWARD,
A poem by Nellie Fushee, 9t
grade.
The corn is in the shocks,
The pumpkins are on the ground.
Looking like balls of fire
They are so yellow aud round.
"Harness the horses, Henry,
We must gel the pumpkins in,
For If we let them stay out they'll ruin
And thai would be a sin.
Tell Pete, the hired man, to come too,"
So spake Mr. Smith to his son,
For we must get them all
And not leave a siugle viie.
And then he turned to his wife
"Anil, Betsy don't you want to go
And cut the stems of the pdmpkins
They "-ill keep better, you know?"
So thev all went to the fields,
Fur they knew there was coming a
storm,
A great black cloud hovered in the
i west
And the air was unusually warm.
Swiftly thev worked for awhile,
Until the wagon bed was full
And that was a very h-avv load,
About all the horses could pull.
One more load and the were through
And the pumpkins all stored away;
Then the rain came pouring down
And thHr work wts done for the dav
