Mr. Rolf has beeu an employe
of the Salisbury cotton mill for

fortune was coming his way. It is
not ascertained what steps Mr.
Rolf will take in the matter. Mr.
Barner is very old and is suppos

'The Blue Mouse," one of the
most wholesome and wholly con
vulsing farces of the present time,
and the season's greatest hit in
New York, will have its 1 initial
presentation here, in Meroney's
theatre, Thursday evening, Febru
ary the 18th. The' play will be
presented by a company of equal
merit to that now in the Eastern
metropolis. In plot "The Blue
Mouse" suggests nothing that has
gone before. Clyde r itch, the au
thor of the new play, has injected
more hnmor, more genuine laughs
than has been the good fortune of
his predecessors. Moreover he has
written several original scenes
which might aptly be called crea
tions, all of which make "The
Blue Mouse" an example of the
purest art of farce.

stockholders aud creditors of the
association. The petition was pre
sented to Judge K. B. Jones by
Hon. Jno. S. Henderson, Attor

This step was delayed as long

which to tide over the indebted
ness and losses on the last Fair,
until the coming October, when
another Fair could be held under
more favorable weather conditions.
The fact that the late Mr. P. W.
Brown was a large stockholder
and creditor o tha-, association
made it impossible for the indebt
edness to be carried longer. We
learn that it is the intention of
the Directors and those interested
in tile association to do all they
can to get all the affairs adjusted
in the next few months so that
the best Fair yet held, will be the
one of October, 1909. President
M. L. Jackson, as well as Messrs.
Trott, Vanderford and Maupin
have worked hard aud faithfully
in organizing and conducting two
of the best fairs in this section of
the country, and but for the mis
erable weather conditions prevail
ing during the last fair week, no
financial embarrassments would .
not confront the . compsny. Mr.
D. L. Arey has been a loyal friend ,
largest creditor.
The receivership was brought

plete failure of the last fair on ac
count of the bad weather; the oth
er, the fact that in settling the es- :
tate of the late Mr. P. W. Brown,
becomes necessary to foreclose
mortgage against the property
of the association, in which he waa
interested. .
Mr. Woodson will collect the as
sets of the association, sell the
Fair Grounds and wind up the af
fairs of the organization. It is to
be hoped that the purchasers will
get together and arrange all mat-,
ters satisfactorily, and have a big
fair next fall. A good fair brings
many strangers to our town and ia
one of the best advertisements we
can have. The grounds, buildings
and race tract of the Yadkin Val
ley Fair Association are the best
in the State, and have been ao pro-'
nounced by many familiar wita

the promoter have the sympathy
of the public in the failure, when
we recall the wretched weather or
