There seems to be a friendly rival
ry between the town and county as
to which will kill the biggest hog.
Up to date the town is ahead. Mr.
A. II. Propst recently killed oue
that tipped the beam at 4S7. Mr,
J. M. Burrage's weighed 483. JNext
in order comes Mr. A. Blackwelder,
who killed two a little more than a
year old, that netted 900 pounds,
one weighing 480, the other 420.
Mr. Blackwelder says these were
fattened on old corn, and that he
has enough left to make two more
hogj like these, and a crib full of
new corn. M r. Sam M urr killed one
weighing 330 pounds that was so
fat that the lard could be dipped
from the sides. Can't the county
hpat the town? Let us hear from
you.

Tenrher Council.
There was an interesting meeting
of this association last Saturday.
Miss Anna Neal and her assistants
had I he rooms of the Virginia Dare
Institute in tip-top style and so
comfortable that we regretted leav
ing them and the many courtesies
shown us. We'll go there again !
The programme, while not com
plete, was entered into with a spirit
that encouraged us. Miss Mollie
Fetzer read a paper on "Methods of
Teaching Geography." Miss Fetzer
is a practical and successful teacher,
and the methods she discussed were
practical ones, Her paper was well
received and quite a number of the
members join in the discussion of
the subject. Our space is too limit
ed to give an outline, but the teach
ers who were absent missed some
thing of superior merits.
The writer read a paper in the de
fense of the "Blue-Back." That
this work had many warm support
ers present, was shown by the fact
that the subject was discussed freely
and boldly. We cannot speak fur
ther upon this part of the exercises.
The subject of text-book on spell
ing will be made a special feature of
the next meeting, when there will
be, no doubt, an earnest and en
thusiastic presentation of the merits
of the different spellers.
Quite a good attendance of the
teachers encouraged us. A "run
ner" will be sent out after some the
next time.
The programme will be announced
in due time.
On the 12th and continuing
through three days an examination
will be held at the court house for
the benefit of those who wish teach
ers' certificates. Applicants will
please bring paper and pencil.
