Some of our progressive citizens
who are usually interested in such
things are making an effort to secure

roe. They will compete for the
State championship for the summer.
The season will last six weeks. All
of the players have not been chosen,
but It is certain Monroe will have a
strong team.
A run-awny occurred yesterday
morning in front of Dr. Kedfearn's
residence. The horse, belonging to Dr.
J. W. Neal, was hitched to a wagon
and was driven by William, the son
of Dr. Neal. George Blakney, color
ed, was also in the wagon. The
iorse became frlghtned in front of
ir. Redfearn's and ran east, running
into a post in front of Mr. Charles
Iceman's residence. The impact
threw both of the occupants out and
demolished the wagon. The negro
was seriously Injured, but the little
boy William escaped..
Mr. A. J. Green recived a telegram
this morning from the State Hospit
al at Morganton telling him of the
sad death of his only son, Thomas,
who had been placed In that institu
tion for treatment. This ended the
sad story of a life.. Thomas was
born in 1892, thus at the time or his
death had Just entred manhood's es
tate. He was a particularly bright
child until his 13th year. At that
time he was in the 8th grade. At
this time he suffered a nervous
breakdown from which he never
recovered. The best med'cal atten
tion was given him at his home,
until it was seen that it was best for
all concerned to place him in the
State Hospital, where experts could
be constantly Vith him. He was
taken there two years ago this com
ing June. It was known for some
time past that his mind and body
was hopelessly Impaired. He was
never violently insane, but suffered a
gradual wasting away of the tissue of
the brain and nerves. The end was
not unexpected as the frail form was
constantly weakening. Tommy
Green, as he was known, was a good
boy, and during his normal state was
a constant attendant at Sunday
school. The remains arrived here this
morning at 5:40 and were carried
to the home of his father at No. 503
North Main street, where the funeral
will be conducted at 3:30 this after
noon by Rev.Drs. Weaver and Gur-ner.
O.-au l"p Pny.
Thursday, April 30th. has been of
ficially named by Mayor J. D. McRae
as clean cp day. All citizens of Mon
roe are requested to clean up light
rubbUh from their premises, and
place tame in ua accessible place to
the btreets. The city will furnish
teams and hands sufficient to do all
the moving in one day. Everybody
will be exepected to have everything
In readiness for the street force to
start hauling on the day named.
Clean up day is a modern custom
that has been adopted by all progres
sive cities. Tin cans and rubbish
heaps are execellent breeding places
for mosquitoes, flies and other germ
carriers. I'rotect yourself, your
children and your fellow citizens by
doing your part.

Correspondence of The Journrl.
I Mr. John Roberson has lost a valu
ble horse on last Sunday. The ani
mal died rather suddenly from some
cause unknown to the owner. The
, horse is said to have been worth
something like two hundred end fifty
dollars, which means quite a serious
loss. Mr. Uobcrson has the sympa-
I thy cf his neighbors in his misfor
tune. ! Rev. J. W. Williams, pastor of the
I Methodist church here, filled his reg
ular monthly appointment last Sab
bath evening. Brother Williams Is
highly esteemed and his services are
well attended by our people.
Esq. H. A. Redfearn has been con
fined to his room for some days from
the effects of deep seated cold con
tracted some weeks ago. His friends
hope for him a speedy recovery.
April 1914 is nearly a duplicate
for the same month in 1907. The
records of your correspondent show
that in that year not a cotton bed was
made in this community till about
the 22nd of April. There is one dif
ference, however in that year the
fruit was all killed, while the pros
pects for an abundance of fruit this
year is exceedingly fine so far.
Mr. W. L. Foreman, a graduate of
the Wingate High School, In a con
test among the members recently,
won the improvement medal awarded
by the Euzelian Society of Wake
Forest College. Hurrah for the Win
gate School! They are prize win
ners,' these Wingate school boys are.
The friends of Mr. Henry Sherrin
will be glad to learn that his condi
tion Is fast improving. He is able to
stir out a little at this writing. Mr.
Boyce Sherrin, his grandson, is still
watching over him and looking after
his lntrests. Uncle Bob is well on
his way toward his three score and
ten mile post, yet he follows the fur
row like a youngster. As a rule, the
men of his day and generation are
much stouter and can endure more
hardship than the younger genera
tion. Mr. G. M. Stewart, our genial and
highly esteemed townsman, has been
confined to his room for some days,
but his health is improving some
now. All Wingate wishes for him a
speedy and complete recovery of bis
normal health.
Everybody come to the commence
ment! The good things awaiting you
will fully reimburse you for the time
so pleasantly and profitably spent.
Miss Fannie rounds, a maiden la
dy who lived with her brother, Mr.
G. W. Pounds, died Wednesday af
ternoon. Miss Fannie's death re
sulted from a severe attack of pneu
monia following a case of measles.
She was about 73 years old and was
highly respected and loved by all
who knew her. She had been a con
sistent member of the Fatilks Bap
tist church from her youth. She is
survived by three brothers and one
sister. The brothers are George,
Benjamin and John Pounds, the sis
ter is Mrs. Emaline Tadlock. The re
mains will be laid to rest In the cem
etery at Faulks church this afternoon
and the funeral will be conducted by
Kev. E. C. Snider, the pastor.
Mrs. O. P. T. is the possessor of n
rather extraordinary hen Old Spot
This hen has been a faithful con
tributor to the egg basket for at least
eight years, has reared at least one,
and frequently two, broods each year.
She raised one family of ducks of
which she seemed quite proud. She
is now brooding over a dozen I. R.
duck eggs with delightful anticipa
tion. Old Spot is not one of the
'hlghferluten' educated hens that
"sits," but Just a plain old-fashioned,
five-toed, hen that "SETS."
We are expecting a multitute of
people out to hear Kev. Bruce Benton
Sunday. Doubtless there Is a rich
and rare treat in store for his hear
ers. We are also expecting something
fine from Mr. McRae on Monday
evening. O. P. TIMIST.
