with a court train. Her tulle veil had
a coronet of rose point lace and was
caught with orange blossoms. Her or

pin, the gift of the bridegroom and
a pearl necklace that has been worn
by every London bride for the past
live generations. She carried a shower
bouquet of bride's roses and valley lil

heart rosebuds.

repaired to the residence of Mrs. Hen

where a reception was held. This was
attended by scores of friends, both in
Pittsboro and surrounding communi

Raleigh. The proverbial London hospi

SIDE STREET GOSSIP.
By Joe Foreman.
I
The whole Young crowd was down
to the Fair last Thursday. They came
along in Jim's new car. It all turned
out just as I heard. The children got
behind it, and the Youngs bought the
Ford. Jim has not got on to driving
mucn yet ana no notion of getting
mixed up in a crowd and so he came
right on over to my house and put
the car under my cow shed where it
would be safe and looked after. The
folks up on the river have never took
any stock in the County Fair and it
always comes when the heavy fall
work is on and they never took the
time to see what was going on. This
year I see a lot of things put in the
Fair from up in that neighborhood and
the Young girls had some fancy work
in the Woman's Department, too.
After putting in a full day taking
in the sights, Jim and Mrs. Young
came on back to my house to get
things together to go home. I insisted
on them staying over but they claimed
that they had to get back. We argued
and they finally let the hoys take the
car and go home to attend to the
stock and Mrs. Young and Jim spent
the night with us. It cetrainly was a
treat and we set them down to the
best we had. Me and Jim talked over
old times and the changes that had
come on since we were brought up
We agreed that this County Fair bus
iness was alright if some of the skin
games were cut out. It is a mighty
good thing some times to find out
what the other felow is doing in the
farming line. There is no doubt that
lots of progress has been made but
there is still room for improvment.
Everybody knows that a man is a fool
to go along with scrub stock and no
first class tools, in this day and time.
Every thing is high nowadays and you
have to make every edge cut or lose
out. And, when you have good stuff
about your place, you have to take
good care of it. A four gallon cow
can't get on with a one gallon ration.
You simply got to have good pastures
and every thing else plenty to take
care of good stock on a place. With
all of the improvments what have been
going on in the country, Jim has kept
up pretty well and he has been put
ting in some conveniences for his wife
along too. Mrs. Young was telling me
that she never saw any better cook
ing than some that was in the Fair
and than that she and the girls would
be getting up a much larger lot of
different things to put in next year.
It is a sight to see the things that the
Youngs do put up and fix up to eat.
She was always a good cook but with
the girls to help, they can feed you.
It has been told that Bill Watson
was hooked for $19.00 by some of the
carnival bunch but I don't know how
true it is. The wonder is where the
nineteen came from in the first place.
It is good enough for Bill Watson
if he did lose, for any fool knows that
you can t beat another fellow at his
own game.
The next stop is election and the
candidates will be around pretty soon
I saw some of them at the Fair doing
some tall handshaking. I believe in
being glad to see your friends but I
never did see any good in over doing
a thing.

CHATHAM FAIR AFTERMATH
Good Work of Superintendents and
Appreciative Attendance.
The attendance at the Chatham fair
was an appreciative set of people and
almost everyone was loud in the praise
of the exhibits and the manner in
which they were handled and display
ed by the superintendents in charge,
We want to add to this also, because
we fully believe that secretary John
son could not have made a better se
lection for any of the departments
tnan those who were in charge.
Ernest Berwer was the general su
perintendent; J. C. Fesmire was in
charge of the live stock: Mrs. C. N
Bray, Mrs. June Wren and Mrs T. D.
Bynum had charge of the fancy work;
Mrs. M. M. Fox and Mrs. P. H. El-
kins had charge of the pantry sup
plies; Mrs. Uilie Webster, Mrs. J. D
Gregg and Mrs. S. J. Husketh had
charge of the arts, crafts and schools
department, and Messrs Jacob and T
C. Dixon were in charge of the poul
try.
All these folks were deeply inter
ested and had everything nicely ar
ranged and displayed in a manner
that the exhibits were presented in
the best manner possible.
As stated elsewhere the fair fail
ed to make expenses this year. There
were contributing causes; the dust,
following closely upon the heels of
the Randolph and Mebane fairs, the
Chautauqua in Pittsboro, and the
breaking of the contracts by some of
the amusement features with the fair
authorities at the last minute, fail
ure of the merry-go-round to get here,
owing to an acident on the railroad,
terested more and more as the years
greatly hindered the fair and there is
a deficit of some three hundred dol
lars or more. Of course this amount
must be raised at once in some man
ner to take care of the bills as they
come in. The integrity of the organ
ization must be maintained.
The Fair will be held next year, the
following year and so on down the
line for years to come, being made
better and better every - year. The
farmers and rural people in general
have just begun to realize the real
advantage of the fair and will be in
terested more and more as the years
come and go.
The advantage of a real, live agri
cultural fair to any county or com
munity cannot be easily computed.
It is the one thing that expands the
methods of better farming, better
cows and hogs, better poultry, greater
effort in every undertaking, and its
annual occurrence mean more than
dollars and cents to the county.
In a few days the stockholders and
directors wil meet to elect the officers
for another year, and in the mean
time, let everyone begin to plan now
for the biggest fair in 1923 thatthas
ever beenheld in this entire section.
D. E. RIVES REUNION.
There was a reunion of the children
of D. E. Rives at their father's home
on Sunday, October 1st, the following
being present:
Messrs G. E. Rives, H. R. Rives and
families, of Goldston; C. J. Rives and
family, who live near the old home;
Mrs. W. B. Cheek, of Chapel Hill;
and Mrs. P. L. Elkins and family, of
Bear Creek, route 2. One son, D. A.
Rives, of Cumnock, could not be
present.
In addition to the family were Mrs.
C. G. Kirkman and family, formerly
of Graham, but now of Gulf; Mrs. J.
J. Goldston, a sister in law of Mr.
Rives and Mrs. C. M. Andrews and
family, of Bonlee.
Mr. Rives is in his 85th year, being
a Confederate veteran. Despite his
mature years, he is able to .get around
pretty well. He enjoyed ' having his
children and grand children with him
all at one time. He seemed so happy
at times that he hardly knew what
to do or say. His wife, 12 years
younger, was getting around among
the crowd like a matron-at her first
home-coming.
Tehy are the happiest old couple I
ever knew, they both say there is
nothing they need to make them any
happier. They live a quiet life.
The table was lb foot long load
ed down wdth all the good things to
eat imaginable. After they had all
eaten, there was more than enough
to have fed them again.
Last, but not least, they visited the
i ii li
scuppernong vine, wnere tney an
feasted again, for who does not en
joy the delicious fruit.

Up in Northwood. Worth County.
lowa, there is a paper published call
ed the Worth County Index. It is a
most excellent paper. The owner, chief
cook and bottle washer is one W. A.
Stickley. The editor of this paper and
Captain Stickley were in harness to
gether back yonder, a few years since
the Civil War, and became fast
friends, having opportunity at differ
ent times to accommodate each other
to great advantage. WeH as time
rolled on this editor became the pos
sessor of two papers inChatham coun
ty and Stickley has acquired a paper
up in Iowa, all his own. We 'exchange'
papers and personally I look forward
with pleasure to getting that paper.
Stickley, himself, frequently has
something to say about us, and in his
last issue he ups and says: "Our old
friend and "side-kick" Colin G. Shaw,
down in Pittsboro, North Carolina,
must be seeing things, according: to
the following item in his paper. Their
brand down there must be worse than
our "Cadaver Pickle," up here." He
then quotes the paragraph we recent
ly had about snakes in Pittsboro. Now
you know it was in the 'good old days
when we were associate dtogether.

Acording to the Vass Pilot, a New
York newspaper has said that lawyers
and motion picture actors top the
list in paying professions, with preach
ers at the bottom. Editors get so lit
tle money they are not even consid
ered. O
The Stone-Age advertiser who sends
out a kid to ring front door bells and
litter up the front porches with sam
ples and circulars, is gettme some
notoriety, but the wrong kind. The
more he gets, the worse off he will be.
The newspaper advertiser is the man
who gets the kale, brings in the
shekels, garners in the long green and
carries a pocket full of Jack. The
Stone-Age advertiser with his circu
lars wins the stilts.

Did you ever stop to think that a
loafer eats food, breathes air, and oc
cupies space just like a producer, al
though he has not done a Lick of work
in years and years? However, he has
attained a life time ambition to excel
in something, for he can sit in one
spot without moving longer than any
body else in town or county.

There will be a sock social for the

day night, October 14th, 1922. The
public is invited to attend, bring the
pennies and get a sock.
Numerous little socks have been
made, one for everyone who will at
tend, and the following poem is com
posed to meet the requirements of
your purpose in going:
This little sock we give you;
It is not for you to wear,
Please multiply your size by two,
And place therein with care;
In pennies or in cents,
Just twice the number you wetj.
(We hope it will be imense.)
So if you wear a No. 10,
You owe us twenty, See?
Which when dropped within this
little sock,
Will fill our hearts with glee.
If more you wish to add,
Drop it too, within the sock,
And our hearts will be supremely
glad;
'Tis all we ask it isn't much,
And hardly any trouble,
But if you only have one foot,
We'll surely charge you double.
Now, if you have a friend quite
dear,
You'd like to bring with you;
Or, if you know someone who'd
" come,
Please send them one too;
And if its so you can't attend.
Your sock don't forget to send.
