LILLSVILLE. Mr. Doylia: You can keep Morven ca yore role ol onner O. K. It's a all rite town an' full all rite peepil. Mon ey is plentiful an' the goose hanging' hi. .' . . , I met up with mitey good luck in the shape of Mr. G. A. Martin, who shore waz nice to me. He's a cotton bier an' a orful bizzv man. too, but tuck plezure in interdacio' me an! Bivin' me infermation which wnz mitey helpful. Mr. Martin had a land sule not lung ago, in South Morven, jest put- side the corperation, fur colored pee- pil only. The colored band from Wadesboro played fur the occasion, an I hearn severil say that thty never hearn better music . There wcz 38 lota sold that day an they brung frum $50 to $150 per lot, an sevml bouses air bein bilt on 'em a reddy, Zeb Hartsell an J. P. Ratliff done the sellin of the land. There's won thing in Morven that weren't to my notion, an that is the way it is whacked slap in two bi the releroad. it do pear to me that peepil wood not a wanted that party little town ruined that way, but it's done. Mr. D. A. Liles shode me much curtesy, an told me a lot of interestin things, but, as space is skace, I can't tall you all about it. But I "have somewhat against" Mr. Liles. He has "left his first love" (The M. A I ) when it do look like his hart orter be big enuflf to hold on to old friends, even if he did make new ones. J. L. Littla is goin to have a mitey floe house when it gits finished. D. L. Johnson is puttin up a big b&rat to be follered by a nice resi dence. .. Vr. - The Methodists air fixin to bild a $10,000 church. - Saw my old frend an pastor, Rev. J P. Boyd, an shore wuz glad to see him. ' ; ; Spent the nite at J. F. Thomases an tride to kilt myself eatin, as usuiL Mrs. Glennie is a fine cook, an noze bow to make a body feel welcum. I went down to the mill to see J. I Thomas grind corn, an I can tell you jeit prezactly what he looked like, it you rtcomember the old blue back spell in book. He looked jest fur the world like the wise- old cat that wallered in the meal an flour so the woodn't no him, an he cud git to kttch cm, Jim Thomas aint atter traipiu nobody, tho. He's all rite." I didu't meet uieny of the Morven Ldifcf, but will see em my next trip. Evtrbody wnz mitey nice to me, an I had lots of invites to spend the nite. When I got to Lilesville tuther Tuesday mornio, it weren't good lite, en I didn't no more know which way to turn than a new born baby. Myl 1 felt blue as indego. I sot thar in the depo till peepil got resrrected, an' then I struck out on a tour of inves tigation. My lucky star wuz in the acendenc;, , an led me to a drug store an Mr. M. P. Wall, who made me welcum to Lilesville an rendered me valible assistance, which I aint fur got. : r''i; Mr. an Mrs. C. L. Frederick wuz mitey interestin peepil, an Bed the latchstring of tbare dore hung on the outside fur me. Mr. Frederick is a prosperous merchant, an Miss Ella Thomas, a bewitchin black eyed bew ty, is his milliner an assistant. The Messrs. Liles has a fine store, loo. "' v-.-:' Frum what I can larn, thar's a wonderful improvemen in Lilesville since it got burnt out. Sumtimes it takes floods an ciclones an fires to make peepil acquainted with tbare iwn abilities an capacities. Befcre the fire, them Lilesville folks had no idee thay wuz so chuck lull of push, p uck aor enirgy, or that thay cud so s iou replace them wooden structure with fine brick bildin's. I say three cheers for Lilesville, an' then some more cheers. 1 found Mr. W.-R. Cox rite sick with coid,but he shore wuz preparin' to git outside ot the rations, jadgin' frum the big waiter in fruot of him. Mrs. M. J. Cox is a deer old lady, an' injoys livin' alone with her two fine cats, ruther'n brake up housekeeping Mr. S. G.

Tuck dinner at Mr. W.M.Ballard's, who marrid Miss Josephene Redfern i old frend of mine. Wnz shore glad o see ber. She is sister to Mr.Charlie irdfern of Peachland, where I had ich a tine resently. ; Mr. an' Mrs. Capt. Usher has sum itey fine chickens that ort to cum P to the fare this week. An' O myj a look far Mrs.' Usher's purty cen rpeace of drawn-work, which she J wood be ihere. It's orful purty. Wuz proud to git acquanted with v. J. W.

At the request of Mrs. W. J. McLendon about twelve ladies met in the Sheriff's office in thfl mart house to hear the lectures on domestic science by two ladies who were sent out by the state, while the men had an enthusiastic meeting up stairs. At this meeting a number of women decided to have an annual meeting. Mrs. J. G. Royliu was chosen as chairman and Mrs. J. Coit Redfearn secretary. Alter the meet ing was over a luncheon was served the men and women in the passage of courthouse. ;V For five years now the women have held a local exhibit, each year's exhibit surpassing that of year before. Our women are taking more interest each year in butter making, chicken raising and furnishing their homes. If the men would willingly bring to the market the pounds of butter, the eggs and chickens, hams, the winter vegetables, the fruit dried and canned that our Institute wo men are learning to raise and prepare, the children would get an extra year of schooling and the mothers a trip to the State Fair at Raleigh, and the home life would be better in many ways. " The merchants of Wadesboro have been exceedingly liberal this year in giving premiums and many of the professional men ol the town have also taken a deep interest in the Ex hibit. Articles for the Exhibit are being received today and the indica tion are that the fine record of last year will be greatly surpassed. To-! morrow the exhibits will be open for inspection, and the good ladies want it understood that there is no admis sion fee. Every woman who has anything on exhibit will be given a dinner ticket. Some of the special features of the Exhibit are given below: HOOKWORM DISKJSK DISCCSSKD BY MRS. HCTT. Mrs. W. N.
