It is being rumored that Wade Bar

a false one.
Last week we announced that young
Otis Pickard, Rt. 1, Siler City, had

This decs not affect the prize at all
yet we regret the error.

has caught two hawks within a week

inches from tip to tip and the other
measured 40 inches. Mr. Farrell has
destroyed five hawks within the past
year and he says “catch the hawks
aid save the chickens and game.”
Everybody seems to be for Bailey
for governor, according to the num
ber of people coming in The Record

of Chatham. Ii the farmers and the
Gboring man fail to vote for Mr.
Bailey on June 7th, they will lose the
best opportunity they ever had.

well on fire.

wounded limb and now she rs rapidly
improving.
Mr. and Mrs. Jake Thompson left
last week for their new home in
Hayes—Barton, in Raleigh. Mr. and
Mrs. Thompson have innumerable
friends in Pittsboro and Chatham
county who regret that they have

will
miss them.

ANOTHER RIDDLE.
Miss Mary I. Hart, of Bear Creek,
Rt. 2, sends us a riddle and asks
that her young friends try to solve it.
If you can figue it out send Miss Hart
a card and tell her. " •
This same riddle was given us by
another friend several weeks ago,
and we had intended to use it some
time in the near future but as Miss
Mary has sent it in, we shall let you
young folks decide the answer for
her. Here is the riddle:
“In flesh and blood and bones as
other creatures be, they took,me from
my mothers side and with a knife
both keen and sharp, they did cut
off my head. They give to me a diet
drink which was both black and
strong. I took the cup and drank it
up, which did to me no wrong. I
send my work both far and near; it
passes through from Kings to Kings,
and makes true lovers glad.”
Send answers to Miss Hart, Rt. 2,
Bear Creek.

I WAS THE WRONG THOMPSON.
1 Last Friday night a negro was
! found in the Carolina Hardware in
Raleigh. He gave his name as George
Thompson, who was on the Chatham
chain gang, made his escape a lew
days ago, and from the description
sent to sheriff Blair, he thought he
was the man who escaped from
: the Chatham gang. Deputy sheriff C.
|T. Desern went after the man last
■ Saturday. Mr. Desern found that the
description and the name tallied with
the man he wanted, but he was not
, the right one, and he returned Sun
day. The Thompson wanted in Chat
ham is still at large.
