The county people should bear in mind that no road business whatever is transacted on the first Monday, but day is given wholly to county an airs and all road matters come hafnim 1 i 1 4-1 . w. n . 1 TvTrm- day, so govern yourselves accordingly, -- -(a)- - SIDE STREET GOSSIP. ( By Joe Foreman. Q- "What do you mean, you great long yellow legged devil," is what Jim said as he pulled up from looking under the end of the granary where his wife had sent him to see if there was a hen's nest under there. It had been so' rainy that she could not get down in the field to see if there were any sec ond crop pole beans that she could get to cook for dinner and when she look ed she found that the girls had sent j au ner eggs to town the day before ana she was up in a corner to P-pt some thing for dinner. Of course that did not help the way that wasp nab bed Jim on the back of the neck. Nobody except those who have tried it, know just what a man has got to go through with about the house when company in around. Old Pavne said something about there ben.g no place like home, bue there is nothing like being away from home, when there is no dry stove wood in the house and it has been raining for a couple of weks and the back door won't shut and the barn yard knee .deep in weeds and mud and no place to put out the cow so she can get a bite to eat, and the feed running low and a few other things too numerous to mention going on to keep your wife mad there is simpjy no place like being away from home, But at chat you have got to come back some time and one time is as good as an other as has been my experience. Ever since I came back from up on the river, life has just been one blamed thing after another. It will take me from now to frost to get 'aught up if I ever do. If I had to take another vacation this year, I am (linking I would leave town and never ome back. How some folks can go on nid just take all the nagging that hey do is more than I can tell. It is a -ight to know how some women ever :lo get on and keep something for the 'amily to eat and clothes all fixed up and darned up when you know what good-for-nothing men they have around. It takes a lot of head and heart to make life go on smooth and it has been my observation that it takes mighty good team work for a husband and wife to live and work happily together. Both have to pull together, and at the same time, or the 'oad will get stuck and stay stuck. As soon as I get the garden lot clean id up and fall planting done and win er wood in and cut up, and a dozen or more other jobs done up. I will be getting out and see what is going on about town. School will be starting, Jodder pullir;g on and the next thing ammer gone. The opportunities gone, the tasksleft undone, cannot te taken ip tomorrow. Our onlv chance is NOW. ARRANGEMENTS FOR FAIR. Arrangements are being rapidly made by the Chatham county Fair authorities for a big and instructive fair the first wek in October. The secretary informs this paper Ll i 1 1 ,1 , Liiai lie lias visaeu iiictiiv tumnmii- ities, and will see more regarding ommunitv exhibits. The following communities are very likely to make a collective or community exhibit: Goldston, Bennett, Hickory Moun tain, Snow Camp, Corinth. Brickhav en, Franklinville, Battle school and possibly many others. If any community wants to put on a county exhibit or desires informa tion, see or write the secretary and he will give you information or go to your community and assist you in any way possible. While the community exhibits ad school exhibits are being pushed, the people must not forget to bring or -end anything of merit for the open exhibit of farm, field, garden, fruit fancy work, etc.. This open exhibit is for the individual only, not as com munities. Your crops are good so pre pare to bring or send something. The Fair wiiTbe a good one this year. OLD TIME FOX HUNT. Contributed. The fox hunters from Alamance and Chatham have returned from a two weeks hunt in Cumberland county. Those from Alamance were Mr. and Mrs. R. V. Griffin, Ed. Morrow, Ar nolc? Moore, Phil Dixon, Dr. J. W. Fix, Wilson Davis, George Davis, Ju lian Pavne, Lawrence Williamson, Dock Williamson, Graham Morrow and John Thompson. Those from Chat ham were Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Bland, Miss Mary Bland, C. E. Bland, John Robertson, R. M: Connell, June Peo ples and Frank Gatis. Some of these folks staved only a few days, but at nnp time there Were twenty-one peo ple at camp and fifty-nine dogs. I have often heard people say iohl yim uci music in a fox chase, and now I un derstand. It was real music fifty nine dogs after one fox. Old Hilda, Salhe, Joe, Black Joe, Music, Wheeler, Kate, Busy, and old Ben carried all parts, high and low. - The camp was pitched on a nm just above Eureka Mineral Springs. The water from the Springs does not taste good, but everybody gained sev eral pounds from drinking it. Our camp looked like a miniature sol dier camp. We had four tents, cooked and eat in the open. It was great fun to sit around the camp fire and listen to each fellow tell what part HIS dog had in the race that morning. On Tuesday, before camp broke on TP.ila-r wo were aerreably surprised on returning from the chase, to find that Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Gilmore, litle Antionette, from Pittsboro, Mrs. W. H. Cox and children from Laurm burg. had come to visit camp. We hurried around, made coffee, bread, fried chickens and ham. Everybody, even those not accustomed to camp eats, seemed to enjoy the dinner. Hen rv and Joe Cox remained m camp with their grand father, Mr. T. M. Bland. . Our catch consisted, of ten grey foxes, two coons, and a coach-whip snake, six foot long. The ladies voted tne nunt quite success and the next hunt will find a them ready and waiting. S- PITTSBORO PARTY PICNIC. News of Interest From Our Neighbor Town Corinth. Corinth, Aug. 28. On last Tuesday a party of Pitsboro young people mo tored to Buckhorn, enjoyed a picnic on the gras and favored your corres pondent and his family with some good piano music, singing and a "step or two". Those attending were Misses Emily Taylor, Louise Brooks, Marga ret Brooks, Bessie Chaphin, Miriam Chapin, Katherine Johnson, Pauline and Wilma Arnold, of Carthage, Mes srs William Hunt, George Brooks, Connie Bynum and Thomas Morgan Mrs. T. V. Sexton returned last week from a two weeks visit with friends and relatives in Durham and Raleigh. R. S. Ashworth and family moved to Varina last Thursday. Mr. Ash worth goes to take charge of a new general merchandise store being put in by A. N. Johnson & Co. Mr. Ash worth will be missed in our commu nity and Corinth loses one of her most estimable citizens. A saw mill, run by an. electric mo tor, out in the woods seems to be something new but we have it down at Buckhorn. E. S. Marks, the enter prising Corinth miller is the promoter. It is astonishing and disgusting how much mischief the age old "ty pographical error'' in the print shop, will sometimes do. Last week the "devil" or some of his subordinates got his finger in the "pi" and charg ed the word "a-n-o-t-h-e-r" so as to read "a m-o-r-e," and a "devil" of a mess did he make. Just listen at the difference in the meaning of the two statements. First it was sent in to the paper, "we are expecting anoth er successful year during the coming term," and then it appeared in print "we are expecting a more successful year during the coming term" some mess, and the correspondent respon sible for the article came to the par ties on whom the reflection had been cast, with tears in her eyes, protest ing her innocence and letting ,the guilty editor down easy with the gra cious remark that "it was a typo graphical error." How about it broth er Shaw? (These type setting machines are poor readers ana heartless beings. We error occurred, however, beteween the correspondent referred to is a very efficient as well as careful one. The error occurred betwen the words, how words, "most" and "more" and was inexcusable on the part of the man setting the type on the machine and we expect to reduce his wages for the crime. Ed.) Talk about rains, we had one at Buckhorn Saturday noon. Almost a cloud burst, but no serious damage done. How about that sinking fund money being used for current expenses and the road maintenance fund being used for new roads, we asked about. Can't someone explain "how come?"

Stephenson, of Varina, came in this morning to take charge of the farm he has just bought from N. G. Avent. Mrs. W. A.

Editors as a gen eral rule are optimists they are giv en to look on the bright side of life but occassionally one gets the blues, regardless of the amount of money he may be making, or the general patronage he may have. Very few individuals appreciate or know the long hours, sleepless nights and the physical and mental strain there is to publishing even a country weekly. The public as a whole ap- preciate$ the real alue of the effort put put into it. A news paper cn be issued week after week with 100 per cent excel lence more than the town de serves and very few will speak a word of approval but let one poor issue come forth and every green fly among them will get on the house tops to tell of its shortcomings. The people who live away from town out in the country is where we get our praise.. Friend of ours came in from Bear Creek last week and gave us all kinds of encouragement. Matter of fact he paid his subscription and also brought in the long green for three more folks. That's real encouragement, besides Xtie nice things he had to say. Said he was an independent voter and liked the style of our paper just fine. Like many other good Chatham citi zens, he is not so narrow minded and biased but that he wants facts. A newspaper can touch upon some body's pet hobby and they will swell up and purr like pretty pussy, and never tell the editor why they had to buy a new hat, but just let the editor have something to say agin his poli tics, religion or possibly his rum, brushing his stretched hide against the grain, and he will immediately summons the clan to throw the stones of ridicule and abuse. Zall right jus' same. Hambone recently said that hits wuz a good recommendation' for a niggah to have lots of white friends; and it suttinly did speak well for a white man ef de niggahs all like him.
