The following is a report of

Western District for the week

few unfavorable reports were re

hail-storm also occurred on the
15th with but slight damage at a
few places to fodder and tobacco.
Although the condition of crops
insomeofthe most western coun

general average for the district is
very good indeed. Sweet potatoes

A Tree Pell on Eia.
"On Wednesday afternoon
last week Mr. Frank Lovett,
of
of
Union township was in the woods
sawing with his brother when a
heavy wind storm came up. On
looking up they discovered that
a large tree under which they
were working was
fallinir,
and
they started to run from under it.
The brother escaped, but Frank
was not so fortunrte. He had
nearly gotton from under ' -hrtr
one of the limbs crushed to
tho earth, horribly mangl" ' his
head and face. At last a t mts
he was sufTciing terribly and is
in a dangerous condition.
He Ate a Twenty-pound Melon.
The other afternoon a man
went in Pan kin's store and called
for a watermelon. He selected
one that weighed 20 pounds and
said he could eat it by himself.
Some bystander rather doubted it,
when he turned to Mr. Pankin
and asked to be weighed. His
request was complied with, and
he commenced to get on the out
side of the melon. After he had
eaten it he .again asked to be
weighed, and, to the astonishment
of all, he had gained just exactly
10 pounds; or, in other words, he
had eaten 10 pounds of melon at
once.
They Weren't Posted.
It is announced that when the
Republicans of Alleghany county
held their convention and elected
delegates to their several conven
tions they instructed for Sam
Ilolton for Judge when he didn't
even live in the district, laving
moved from Dobson to Durham
over a year ago. They instructed
for Blackburn for Congress, Lin

man of the convention was a

THE MASONIC PICNIC.
ItWa
Quite a Success m Every Particular
About $150 Realized.
The second annual Masonic
picnic was held at Wilkesboro
last Thursday and was attended
by a much larger crowd than was
expected, and the receipts ex
ceeded the managers expectations.
Between $140 and $150 were
realized and tho best of order
prevailed not ajar occurred to
to mar the pleasures of the occa
sion. Pew Mr. Wilson, of Mocks
ville, was speaker of the day and
his talk was listened to with
wrapt attention. He was follow
ed by others who made short
talks.
Supt. 2sT. M. Lawrence was on
hand with a chapter of orphans
who added materially to the
pleasure of the occasion by render
ing some nice songs and recita
tions. At night the " chapter gave a
concert in the court house before
a crowded house who greatly en
joyed it as was evidenced by the
prolonged rounds of applause
they ever and anon elicited.
To say that this is a grand and
glorious institution the Orphan
Asylum is putting it very
mildly. Little children arc taken
out of sin and degredation and
lifted to a higher plain, where
Christian influences arc brought
to bear upon them, and where
they are prepared to fight tho
battle of life.
It was truly a glorious sight to
see the happy smiles of content
ment that overspread their coun
tenances, thus showing that
loving and tender hands looked
after their every comfort.
Vcritabby, this is one of the
grandest institutions that adorn
this fair land of ours.

A Sleeper.
A sleeper is one who sleeps. A
sleeper is that on which the sleep
er sleeps. A sleeper is that on
which the sleeper runs while the
sleeper sleeps. Therefore, while
the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper,
the sleeper, carries the sleeper
over the sleeper under the sleep
er until the sleeper which carries
the sleeper jumps the sleeper and
wakes the sleeper in the sleeper,
by striking the sleeper under the
sleeper, on the sleeper, and there
is no longer any sleeper sleeping
