THE DANBURY REPORTER VOLUME XXXIX. LIFE AT VADEMECUM RUSTICATING IN COTTAGE Party of Eleven Young Ladies Hav ing Perfectly jjrand Time —Vio- lent Vicissitudes of Pleasure i Poachers. Eleven young ladies Misses Margaret and Maud Petree, of German ton; Harriett Ross, of Walnut Cove; Josie Neal and Rebecca Stack, of Monroe: Mary and Virginia Martin, Bertha and Lou Binkley and Jessie and Blanche Pepper, of Danbury are spending a week over at Vade Mecum Springs in a cot-1 tage, keeping Old Maid's Hall, j and having a dee : lightful time. Long had this trip been plan-. discussed, long looked | forward to, and every detail i carefully arranged. In its con templation was the very essence of romanticism, and the very core of frantic idealism. Reclin ing on the verandah of the cot ,, tage they would sip pink tea from slender flagons, and watch dreamy-eyed the granite moun tain as it wrapped its lordly form in the misty mantle of the valley. The great glorious golden moon would roll over the battlements of Moore's Knob, flooding the landscape with amber, and lighting the circuitous trail for the careful footsteps of multitudinous beaux. But, alas! how deceiving are the dreams of life when they run up against the stern real ities. How fleet-footed is when fact knocks out fancy. The first meal, when all the party had gathered round the festive board, was not without incident. "Twenty-two eyes ( j stared at each other in horror, • which later gave way to mute appeal, and the only word there spoken for full five minutes was: "Lend me the fork." Suddenly the present dis- concertment was rendered of mild consequence when some one chancing to glance out doors, threw up her hands and screamed: "The chicken has escaped." But cooler heads And rare presence of mind pre * vailed over the general chaos, and the crowd was marshaled into various squads to go in pursuit. By this time the fowl, frightened out of its wits by the pandemonium that had ensued, was making remarkable evolu tions, gyrations and other kinds of barn dance on the lawn, not knowing exactly which direction to take. The girls came out at the different doors like Apaches rushing to help their husbands and brothers scalp. T T p and down the hill the poor Plymouth Rock was chased and finally caught. On the second morning the discovery was made that the ants had reached the preserves, that a lizard was in the pantry, and that the bread brought from . heme was exhausted, and some 1 1 new biscuit*lwould have to be r baked. Minor feonsternations . quickly roae up in vapid succes sion like this: Somebody hsd forgotten the salt, a rat had de- voured the butter, a stick of J wood would have to be used fori a rolling pin. Seven of the' party at once contracted ner-j vous pre-posteration, and went to l>ed. A Council of Hysterics; was called, and after various' resolutions and despairs, it was finally unanimously agreed upon to send a committee to a neighlmr's house and request the ; loan of a broom. The second day passed without serious mishaps, and at a call meeting on the verandah the following resolutions were pass ed : 1. That we shall abstain from | butter. It is not a healthful ; ! article of diet, and often pro ! duces indigestion. ! 2. That every person of this! 1 ! assemblv who shall wilfully and i i • ! | knowingly scream, except upon ! appearance of rattlesnakes,! lions or mice, shall be fined 10 cents, proceeds to be invested in butter. 3. That mountains shall be of two kinds only: Grand and perfectly grand. 4. That the mails are a fake. . r >. That the fruit crop is not as large as reported. 0. That salt is one of the most necessary ingredients of foot!. 7. That one of the severest tests of human dignity is when the stove pipe falls down. 8. That there is is no place like home.

BIG CROWD COMING ! GRAND RALLY AND PICNIC' i I : Prominent State Speakers To Be I Present and Address the People— Mayodan Band To Furnish Music l —Two Ball Games—Dinner Table Being Erected. The Farmers' Union people are going to spread it on thick | here next Saturday. They are; expecting the largest crowd that 11 has ever assembled in Stokes j i even eclipsing the crowd at the ex-Confederate Reunion last!' year and two years ago. when i j it was estimated that from r>,ooo , to 8,000 people were present. ! One or more B|>eakers of State iwide reputation will be in at ! tendance and address the gath . ering. The Mayodan band has been engaged to furnish music for the occasion and a letter received from the manager yesterday stated that they would arrive here Friday night. The Union has about 2,400 members in the county, and even if the attendance is confined to the membership, a large crowd will be present. But the mem bers are coming and will bring with them their wives and daughters, their children and j friends, and if the size of the' crowd reaches 10,000 persons, it i need not be surprising. President Amos, Secretary 1 Rothrock, and the other man-! agers of the event, request the Reporter to extend an urgent invitation to the people to bring an abundance of rations to feed the immense gathering. The table is being built, and when completed will be three feet wide and 400 feet in length, i | The table will be spread in the! grove adjacent to the M. E. I j | church, and will be a cool, pleas-; ant place. Two games of baseball—Wal :nut Cove against Sandy Ridge : and Mayodan against Big Creek - have been arranged for the occa-, 1! sion, both of which promise to • | be interesting. | j NO NOMINATION YET. f ' Congressional Convention Still Re fuses To Name Candidate For Congress—Very littlo Change la Vote.

Seventeen-Year-Old Son of Thomas Martin, While I Swimming In Pond, Sinks In Sight of Companion—Body Re covered. Mr. F. L. Moore, of Smith, who spent Sunday night here en route to Raleigh, tells the Re porter of a sad incident near Smith Sunday morning about 9 o'clock when Robert Martin lost his life in R. W. George's mill! 1 | pond. Martin, with a younger companion, visited the pond for : the purpose of swimming. Mar- 1 I tin was warned by the boy to not gof in. but heedless, the young man plunged into the water and was quickly carried beneath the | surface by a strong undercurrent near the dam. Seeing his asso ciate sink, the boy had the pres ence of mind to go to his assist- j ance with a boat, but no help; could avail, and the unfortunate fellow was drowned. The body [ was recovered shortly afterwards by friends and neighbors. Roliert Martin was aged about j 1 17 years, and was a son of Mr. ' I Thomas Martin. I A Statement. Germanton, July 25. i jTo the Republicans of the Coun- 1 ty of Stokes : i Since the adjournment of our j I county convention. I learn there :is a report being circulated to the effect that prior and up to ,the time of the convention I was seeking the nomination for the Legislature: and that I had sent out cards to the dele-' , gates to the convention, sta rting that I was a candidate, and that after I had worked up some sentiment, that on the day of the' convention I backed down, andi would not allow my name to be | presented. Now. in order that I may not apj>ear before my i party and the public in general in a false light. I make the •I following statement: > | Prior to the convention I was i repeatedly approached by my -' friends, and asked if I would accept the nomination for the House if the convention tender , ed it to me, and I invariably told them I was in no sense a . 1 candidate, and could not accept | the nomination if offered me. As to the cards. I am inform ed that there were some sent out to the delegates, and on those cards were written the r words "Chap Bodenheimer for t the Legislature." This was i done without my knowledge or , I consent, and I do not know who sent them. I also wish to state that I was not a candidate for commissioner or for any other position. Knowing as I do that the office of county commissioner is a very responsible position, and that the progress and upbuilding of , the county is in the hands of the commissioners, I did not feel that I cared to shoulder any of the responsibility. However, as I did agree to accept, and was nominated and lam now in the race, any support that I may receive will be duly appreciated. r I trust this statement is suffi cient to make my position known to my friends, s Respectfully submitted. CHAP BODENHEIMER. No. 1.999 TICKET NOMINATED BY REPUBLICAN CONVENTION Delegates to Judicial Convention Instructed to Vote (or N. 0. Petree for Judge and S E Hall (or Solicitor—Candidacy of Maj. J. E.

Wheat being harvest r|ed shows an unusually large yield, and excellent grain. Corn - is probably the best in the his -1 tory of the county, and the bif- - gest acreage on record. Tobac co is better than an average crop.
