Almost everybody in this section raise snm chickens, There are three "chicken farms" near Asheboro. ' Mr. II.

He has several hun Ur d due Ancons and other breeds of chickens. Mr. Thoj McDowell, returned hoiuHlast April attei eerviug two yers in the Uuited States Army aud has erected ex teusive buildings aud made other preparation for raising cmcken8 ou one of his father's farms south of Asheboro. He has several huudr d fine chioLens and will market eggs and chickens. Mr. Joseph . McD well has a large nnmberof Plymouth Rockaon an ad j lining faiiu and will also market eggs and chickens. There is a good demand in the local market for 6hickens and eggs, but most of the eggs and crick -is are shipped to the northern cities where high prices are paid for egg' known to be fresh. There is a good opening for "chicken farming" in tbia section. There is no probability of glutting the market. To the Patrons of the Public School. Next week is court week in Ashe boro and we school folks are already dreading it. We are not a. raid of coming within the juriadiction of Judge Allen but we tire tearing that onr attendance will be cut down. Ueaally one-fifth of our students stay out eitier all or a part of tbe first week of court which of course seriously affects the progress of school work. The students for tbe most part, who stay out are the ones who by all means should stay in sohool. Now can't we arrange to have them do so? , Certainly this is patrons, business. We want to urge them to carefully look after it. Weare doing butiaess every day at the school building , and we want yoor child to help ns along with it. Should vou be compelled to keep your child, out, let the time be as short as possible- It ne merely wants to "tike in court he bad better with os. We will turn him out soon enough to take in a plenty. We want the little folks to come right on too. Arrangements will be made to see them safely to the school building and baok. The superin tendent will meet all those from the northern part of town each morning in front of Mr. 0. C. Cranford's res idence at 8:30 and will see them safely through tbe crowds. If necessary other meeting points will be designated. Court need not affect onr school so seriously. You help us keep it from doing so. . O. V.

Bennett Advocates The Rais ing of Pigeons. I urge tbe people of Anson who hold lands to plant colonies of pigeons upon their holdings. Na merically a small beginning will in sure much development of theae beauties, which in flig'at are as elo quent as the trimmest aviator, or, speaking with heartease, as the Icarean who fl-)w past serious waters. Two years ago I planted a colony at tbe place .1 was born on. This number has grown. If I can faeten serious attention upon thesj sugges tions, I shall cross upon the parrot ana insure a notntng pigeon with oratorical deliverance. I leave this valuable suggestion to the future, confident of succesc. The pigeon and guinea chioken are more careful of their health than any fowls except ostriches. Some of the latter are now driven tandem, and more simply, about Jacksonville, ma. The fatty de. generation of the Northern people must find ralief in pursuits easy to start and gradual in their better, ment. I fear the cotton crop will disap point the most conservative estimate. Our people must make ' sorghum and gather everything. R. T. B. . Upon recommendation of court officers and citizens and on account of previous good conduct. Gov.
