Leader
I see some U ttors
regard to the road.
, i ro;id to the Alamance County line
near Mr. Bob Tates rnd from there to
Mebane- Pleasant Grovel 3ad a distance
of a little more than a mile, it is almost
impossible to get over it during the
winter and spring with a load. If
^bniance would work this short stretch
of road, and put it in good fix it would
mean many a load of Tobacco foi the
Mebane Warehouses.
1 learn that Orange County Com
missioners have appointed Dr. Hughes
and Mr. Ham two of the Grange Co*’-ity
C ,mmissioncrs, a committee to go
b'fore the Alamance Commissioners
and pr0j)0se to them that if Alamance
County will build a good road from
Orange County line at Mr. Bob Tatec
to the Mobane-Pleaspnt Grove that
Orange County will build a good sand
anJ clay road from Carr to the Ala-
m?nceline. If the Tobacco Warehouse
men and Merchants of Jdebane will go
to work and do their part. Orange and
Caswell will come oyer and help them.
I suggest that we organize, and sugg:est
a committee composed of D. E. Wilkin
son and T. J. Carter of Rid^eville, F.
R. Warren and San» Smith of Prospect
Hill, P. L, Cooper and Marshall Ward
of Carr, J. C. Corbett and Marsh Warren
of Corbett, H. E. Wilkinson and W.
M. Miles of Mebane. We cpn all give
(vork or money and build this road if
Alamance will furnish their convict
force to do the grading. Get busy
now. Let us hear from the others.

A Reunion.
A pleas? nt day waa enjoyed last
Wednesday September 10th, when the
relatives and friends of W. A. Terrell
gave him a surprise birthday reunion
celebrating his sixty-fifth birthday, all
of hia children were present except two
and their families, he being the father
of eleven living children. When the
g, lests an I ved he was standing in the
yar’ It was re? ’ amusin'j to see the
exp. ession on his face as we all came
driving up. he was astonished beyond
speech. At 12:30 dinner was served,
the table was made out in the yard
and fairly groaned beneath its boad.
Just as dinner was ready to serve Mr.
Silas Compton their cari..er drove up
and he being to poUte to pass such a
table joined the merry crowd. At 3:00
o’clock there was watermelon served,
and at 5:30 o’clock supper was served
after which the guesls departed wishing
father Terrell many more such happy
birthdays.
Better Roads.
Caswell Citizen writes a timely article
in this w'ceks Leader in regad to
bettering the condition of the road
from the Alamance County line near
Mr. Bob Tates to the Mebane and
Pleasant Groye road a distance of a
little more than one mile. This is not
a long road, but it is quite a*i impor-
t nt road especially to those hauling
^ bacco to the Mebpne Market. An
earnest effort should be made to get
this road in good fix before the wet
w’eather of winter sets in, when work
on it of any dr-able character will b.‘
impossible. Caswell Citizen makes
some suggestion that it will be worth
while to heed.

Tobacco Sales Opening
Day.
The sales of tobacco on the floors of
Mebanes Warehouses last Thursday the
opening day was a pleasing surprise.
The early morning did not give much
encouragement, but before sales hour
hoth Warehouse floors were covered
with the weed, this pleased the Ware
house men, but what pleased the
farmers was the splendid prices bid
for the weed. Tobacco sold well r id
* le prices gave perfect satisfaction.

The Union Sunday School
Picnic.
A gay and happy crowd left Mebane
Saturday A. M. Sept. 13th in wagons
and buggies for Mr. Bob Scott’s farm,
six miles south of Mebane; to spend
the day “picnicking.” The Methodist
Protestant S. S. invited the other Sun
day schools of the town to unite with
tV’em; the M. E. rnd Baptist S. S. had
made other a;/angements, so the Pres
byterian S. S. accepted the invitation
to join with the M. P.’s and such a good
time as they did have In the grove
at Mr. Scott’s farm there is a beauti
ful pond, and on the pond the boys
found a nice boat. Percy Amick prov
ed to be a very skilful oarsman, so the
young ladies soon laid aside their tim
idity and joined Percy for many sails
over the pond, the tiny tots also en
joyed riding m the boat. The most
mportant hour of the day soon arrived
‘Dinner Time,'’ Everybody was ready
to do justice to the enormous amount
of good things to eat. As Mr. Amick
the M. P S. S Supt could not be pres
ent, the Presbyterian Supt. Mr, J. S.
White thought it his duty to eat for
himself and Mr. Amick, and the way
he did hide the rations, we all felt un
easy .about him. After dinner the
children were ready for moJe boat
rides so Paul Jobe relieved Percy of
the oars and Paul usually had the
“larger girls” with him, as he thought
them a great deal more interesting.
The hour to leave came entirely too
early, but the little children were tired
so we all left after a day of pleasure,
hoping to return to Scott’s pond next
yaar.
Women have mo of what is determ
ed good sense than men. I'hey cannot
reason wrong, for they do not reason
at all. They have fewer pretensionp,
are less impucated in theories, and
judge of objects more from their im
mediate and involuntary impression on
the mind, and therefore more truly
and naturally.—Hazlitt.
Bahama is growing rapioly. and will
some day be a If »^e town we hope.

Finest Turnout of Any
Circus.
The Great London Shows Consolidat
ed, which conges to Graham Monday,
September 29th will bring special im-
poi nations in the way of all kinds of
new circus acts which haye been se
cured, in conjunction with a long string
of the pick of American performera.
Every department has been increas
ed extensively, and it is claimed the
exhibition of blooded horses is the
best ever offered, among which are the
wonderful Dubhn Grays, the Big Six,
who have captured all of the prizes at
the pronunent horse shows. They are
valued at $25,000.
The parade, said to be “the finest
turnout of any circus has ever made in
any country,” will traverse the prin
cipal streets morning of show day.
Steel Cars Again Tested
“I do not believe in all-steel cars,”
said George F. Buer of the Reading
Railroad yesterday. “I think the half
steel cars are the safest.”
At about the time Mr. Baer spoke, a
Pennsylvania Railroad train went off
a curve at high speed near New Madi
son, O. Three ot the crew were fat
ally injured, but all the hurt passen
gers are expected to recover. Their
comparative immunity is ascribed to
the fact that the cars were of steel.
Mr. Baer is right in saying that
“steel cars will not prevent wrecks.”
They will not enable railroad managers
to dispense with diligence and discip
line, or to spend their energies on mon
opoly instead of on operation. But
when accidents do occur, as they some
times will upon the 'best lines, the
steel car offers better protection a-
gainst death than crashing wood.—
New York World.
In God’s world, for those who are in
earnest, there is no failure. No work
truly done, no word earnestly spoken,
no sacrifice freely made, was ever
made in yain.—F, W. Robertson.

The Hook Worm.
The hook woi »ti thought at first to
be a joke is finding a large force of
believers. In the two examinations
held in Mebane it was learned that
there was quite a number who aflicted
with this pprasite. It is to be hoped
that much permanent good may be
done by ti*eating those pffected with
the hook worm.
