NEWS OF MEADOWS
AN APRIL-FOOL BOX PARTY
For Saturday Night April I—Proceeds1 —Pro-
ceeds to Be Used to Build a Porch
to the School House—Personal
Items
Meadows, March 21. —The
Meadows School is going to give
an April-fool box party on Sat
urday night, April Ist, for the
purpose of building a porch to
the school house. Every body
is cordially invited and it is
hoped that every body will get
in early as they have a nice pro
gram arranged and will begin
immediately after dark. As soon
as the entertainment, which will
last about a half hour, is over,
the boxes will be sold. Fine
music will be furnished by the
Meadows String Band. The
boxes will be sold in three lots;
small girls first, Misses next and
ladies last. A gold dollar is
going to be placed in one of the
ladies' boxes, fifty cents in one
of the Misses and twenty-five
cents in one of the small girls'
boxes for an April-fool trick. So
every fellow that buys a box is
standing a chance to get his
money back besides eating a fine
supper with a fair lady. The
money will be put in the boxes
after they are carried to the
school house, so it is hoped that
all girls not living in the district
will bring boxes and be in early
so they will stand a chance to
have their box contain a piece of!
the money. Everybody is request- j
ed to have their name written i
plainly on the outside of their ;
box to save trouble of untieing
boxes to find the owner.
There will be preaching at
Bethel Baptist church on Sun-1
day, April 2nd, at 3 o'clock P. M.
and at night.

A FIERCE NIGHT ALARM
is the hoarse, startling cough of
a child, suddenly attacked by
croup. Often it aroused Lewis
Chamblin, of Manchester, 0.,
[R. R. No. 2] for their four
childred were greatly subject to
croup. "Sometimes in severe
attacks," he wrote "we were
afraid they would die, but since
we proved what a certain remedy
Dr. King's New Discovery is,
we have no fear. We rely on it
for croup and for coughs, colds
or any throat or lung trouble."
So do thousands of others. So

Hemorrhages fly before it. 50c

LAY ON, MCKNIGHT
MORE INTERURBAN ADVICES
The Dr. With a Corps of Surveyors
In the Vicinity—Construction
Work to Begin.
The Winston Sentinel last Sat
urday contained the following:
Dr. H. P. Mac Knight, of
Southern Pines, promoter of the
interurban railroad to be built
between Winston-Salem and
Floyd, Va., via Rural Hall, and
Vade Mecum, passed through
the city this morning with a
corps of surveyors en route to
Rural Hall, where they will be
gin work on Monday making a
survey of the entire line.
Dr. Mac Knight stated that the
section from Rural Hall to Floyd
would be built first. He already
has a preliminary survey. The
construction work is also to be
gin next week by the contractors,
The Propst Construction Com
pany, of Charlotte.
A concern in New Jersey has
the contract to furnish the rails
and other materials for track
laying. Representatives of that
company are expected to arrive
here tonight to go over the line
and make the necessary arrange
ments for furnishing the equip
ment needed.
The Virginia Iron and Bridge
Company will construct the
bridges and trestles over the en
tire line. There will be ten or
more of these.
The contract calls for comple
tion of the road-bed within eigh
teen months, barring strikes and
accidents.
"After completing the line
from Rural Hall to Floyd we
propose to begin work at once
on the line from Rural Hall to
Winston-Salem," said Dr.- Mac-
Knight, who stated that he re
garded this city one of the best
in the State and the best place
from which to draw patronage,
freight and passenger traffic, for
the new road.
"We are not talking much,
yet we can say that the road is
assured," continued the doctor
who spoke like the matter of
finances had all been practically
arranged.
Mr. Poc Sends The Reporter Some
Curiosities.
I
Editor Clarence Poe, of the
Raleigh Progressive Farmer, has
returned from an extensive trip
abroad, and in a letter to the
Reporter Mr. Poe says he had a
most interesting trip, but is glad
to be back among the brethren.
The Reporter is very much in
debted to Mr. Poe for a copy of
a Japanese daily newspaper and
two Hindoo papers, which are
peat curiosities, though we
haven't yet accomplished much
towards ferreting out their con
tents. The Japanese paper has
a circulation of 180,000 copies i
daily.
Frank A. Martin Confined In Jail.
Messrs. M. O. Lynch and H. D.
Turpin, of Pinnacle Route 2,
brought Frank A. Martin here
yesterday and placed him in the
county jail, he having recently
become dangerously insane. Mr.

ship and is a good citizen. Since
the death of his wife he has

ACCIDENT ON THE TURNPIKE
A Shoe Drummer Experiences Trib
ulations Six Miles Northwest of
Danbury—Details Interesting.
According to news which
reaches here over the grapevine
telegraph, everybody in the
Vade Mecum and Moore's Springs
country is wearing new shoes.
Last Friday the wreck of a shoe
drummer's conveyance occurred
on one of the vicious public roads
of that section, and foot-wear
was scattered for a distance of
several miles in indiscriminate
profusion. Fortunately, the
drummer, who was Mr. J. E.
Moore of Patrick Springs, Va.,
agent for W. H. Miles Shoe Co.,
managed to escape with his life,
and reached Danbury looking
like 30 cents. Mr. Moore's de
scription of his experience, when
stripped of its explosive ver- !
biage, is quite interesting. The !
wagon was caught in a rut, and
went crosswise down the moun- '
tain so hard that it rebounded
clear to the top of another hill, j
which doubtless prevented anni- j
hilation. But for Mr. Moore's j
splendid physique he must have ,
been badly bruised up.
The horses and driver were
saved by falling on him. The
impact of the colliding forces
alarmed the neighborhood. John
Rierson thought it was a seis
mic disturbance.
One curious feature of the af
fair was that when Mr. Moore
reached Danbury, he found sev
eral pairs his shoes already here,
which shows that in any capac
ity it is hard to down his line of
goods, which are always Miles
Ahead.
