We took our wife [and spent the 4th and then somtj attending the state Convention of Rural Carriers in Raleigh. W^e also visited relatives while there. We had a nice time met lots of our good f rien ds Among the carriers from over the state the people of Raleigh know how to treat their visitors. Among those there were D. W. Hunt Oxford, Ben L. Hes ter Credmore, E. B. Hayes, Fair mont, R. C. D. Beamon Stantons- burg, C. H. Howard of Lumber Bridge.^ They are all good whole sou led fellows. K. F. D. m. 7. The rural earners convention at Raleigh last we^ evidently liked the “specimens” from Al amance county as they put J. M. Hays, No. 8, on the executive committee and elected Mrs. Alice Fowler, No. 6, as a delegate to the national convention to be held at Little Rock, Arkansas, next September, Alamance sits up near the head of the table, in nearly every thing, any way. These fine showers are making the corn and weeds look flourish ing but it is pretty hot for the farmer to have to expend so much “elbow-grease” trying to keep their crops from grass, however, their rewai'd at harvest time de pends upon their diligence and prompt action when needed. The plantive squawk of the chicken, the low hum of the threshing machine and the busy bustle of the house wife prepar ing the feast for the men, is a familar and of recurring sight these days. T. P. Nicholson is in Orange County doing some work.' Mrs. Minnie Lewis and son of Raleigh are visiting her parents Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Albright. We found W. A. Tinners mail box full of roasting ears to-day and brought them hom.e for our breakfast in the morning. This is our first this year and we app reciate them. Our neighbor R. J. Mebane visited R. C. Thompson over on 7 last Sunday and reports a nice time. Bob says he learned our name, or at least the name we are known by over there, and he got back and greeted us by call ing us “Harry.” XVe thought “Dan” had about rounded up his business at Belle- mont but it seems like he has took charge of Cary Branson and entices Cary up to Mr. Petty’s yard where Cary loves to play with little Dace Bryan and get a glimpse of Dace’s aunt Mary once and while. We all know “Dan’ ' is hard to down. Miss Blanche Thompson of Burlington, who is visiting at W. B. Sharpes, spent the latter part of last week with Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Cobles. Mr. Coble gave an ice cream supper at his home on Saturday night in honor of Miss Blanche. Those present wer^: Esq. John Dixon and wife, Miss Bessie Tinnin, of Graham, who spent last ‘ week with her her uncle, John Dixon, and Misses Mary and Bettie Russell. The boys present were: Jacob Sharpe, Sidney and Lawrence Russell. They all had an enjoyable time and the amount of cream Squire Dixon and Jacob Sharpe put away was a sight.
