Tilton then told Monroe to give tie txoney back to him and be would return it to Mr. Walking. Monroe bad spent part of the money but handed the balance of it back to Tilton. In the mean while Monroe tilled up on whiskey and when the party started home in the afternoon all of them had been dtink ing some, but Tilton wat comparatively sober. , The party stopped at the home of Earnest Tillmaa, tutored, who also lives on Mr. Watkins' plac, and while there Monroe beoame s boisterous that Tilton put him out of the house, Tillton and the other brother then went on to Tilton's home. About an hour after they arrived there and while they were at supper Monroe put in his appearance and demanded to be admitted to the house. Tilton refused to admit him and Monroe threatened to break into the bouse. Tiltou thf n got his single barrel, shot gun and went into to the yard and told Moaroe to leave. Instead ot leaing ' Monroe made at Tilton and the latter turntd and ran from him without undertak ing to use the gun. Monroe- soon caught Tilt an and wrenched the gun from him and stepped ff about 15 feet and tired, the entire load of sbct taking effect in Tilton's abdomdn.

The reduction in acreage will be what the force of cir cumstances bring about. Every person will plant all he can. Tbe contract for our new school build ing has been awarded and work will be gin shortly. The building will contain three rooms and will be located near the residence of Dr. L C Smith. Labor is scarce and high priced in this section this spring. The man who cannot make a living 140W needs to take lessons in practical economy and indus trial training. Mrs Ethel Thomas' last contribution is a great improvement on "Becky Ann " We hope she will continue to make use of the good English, which she knows so well how to use. Misspelled words and bad grammar are not an indication of genius. If so "Josh Billings" would rank with Shakespeare. Our public school, taught by Prof Redfearu and his popular assistants, Misses Gertrude Mock and Katie Led better, will close the 16th, after a session of but eleven weeks. Consolidation has not added to the length of the school term here. Closing exercises will be held Friday night, March 16th.

Dr. L C Smith and Mr. A E Beachum have purchased a six-horse power gaso line engine. The machine will be used driving saws, lather, planers, &c. There seems to be a desire on the part of some of the school men in North Carolina to reinstate Sanford's arithme tics. We hope the effort will fail. San ford's arithmetics are not what our schools need The person trained in them alone, will b9 an arithmetical weakling' An intermediate book is need ed in the course we now have. Then it will be complete and should remain un changed. Progress. Haroly Possible. Somerville Journal. There are families is which even the youngest of four hoys occasionally get a new suitot clothes.
