Ramsay Has Indigestion
Mr. Ramsay ate something for sup
per that didn't agree with him, or
that he didn't agree with, and pro
ceeded to take it out on the choir and
the newsfpaper man. He came around
to the tent mad as a hornet, 'and in a
fearful frame of mind. He proceeded
to bawl the choir out, stating that if
any of them came up there just to be
looked at. he wanted them to stay
down in the crowd to be converted.
There were a number of young things
in the choir who were all dressed up
and they looked awfully uncomfort
able. Mr. Ramsey certainly gave them
a ragging, but it must be borne in
mind that he had indigestion.
Mr. Hurst and other members cf
th orchestra were there. The leadtT
wa$ aw-vi:: wicked bow and the
others, wets Ibwir.g a mean horn.
They have cc-rtainly been putting out
some orchestration over on the
right hand side of the tent s.nce vhe
meeting began.
Mr. Ham asked all the lolks Irom
the county of Wayne, outside of
Giusboro, to stand up, and men tou
the audience to sit down. Mr. Ramsay
looked sour and asked where Golds
boro was. Then they asked for all
those out.Mue the county to stand, and
most of thuye who sat down on the
other proposition got up. Mr. Ham
insisted that Uohtsboro come out ana
welcome its guests.
The press box got an awful wig?ing
at the herds of Mr. Ramsey for not
announcing in yesterday's paper the
sermon topics for yesterday and to
day. Mr. Ramsey was rather caus
tic in his remarks, but it must be
remembered that his digestive organs
were out of order. He should have
pinned a sign to that elTect on the
front of his coat. In case the inno
cent public misjudge the famous sing
er, it is stated here that he wasn't
responsible, and offered apologies af
ter the sermon was over. The press
box heaped coals of fire on his head
and forgave him, although the scars
from the burns on his bald head will
stay with him for some time.

Farms
The Mx tern States Tuberculosis
Coiu't Ti rce, held recently at Hart

encouraging fact brought out was

and fed in and shipped from counties
accredited ly state and federal au
