I Have "STo-cl Seen
Mr. J. T. Morton lost a barn of to
bacco last week along with a nic9
cow.
Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Evans spent
last Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. J. B.
Currin.
Dr. Nat Daniel, of Adoniram,
spent a few days here last week visit
ing his parents.
Mr. J. C. Satterwhite is seemingly
quite happy on account of a new ar
rival at his home.
Mrs. Willie Frazier continues to be
in feeble health, and we wish her a
speedy recovery.
Wardens have played out, but our
people have sweet potatoes, cabbage
and turnips growing well.
Mr. J. B. Currin and Emily Sat
terwhite, col., burned a barn of to
bacco each last week.
Messrs. S. M. Evans and D. W.
Adcoek caught the buggy fever and
have repainted their vehicles.
Mr. Daniel Booker and wife, of
Richmond, Va., spent 8 or 10 days
in this section visiting relatives and
friends.
Mr. Sol Frazier cut one of his
forefingers off a few days ago in the
feed cutter, and it will put him out
in saving his crop.
The writer has some corn that is
14 feet and 9 inches high, and the
ear is 10 feet and 8 inches from the
top of the ground. Can any of the
correspondents beat that?
Mr. W. C. Daniel, son of Mr. G. B.
Daniel, while riding horse back a
few days ago, the animal stumbled
and fell with him, bruising him up
right badly, but we are glad to learn
he is improving fast.
Our farmers are full of work now
curing tobacco and saving fodder.
Nearly all tobacco cured thus far is
of good color, the kind that the
warehousemen have been wanting
for several years, but we fear as
they have got it there will be a de
mand for green, red, brown or black.
Did you ever hear of a forward
Bird? Let me tell you about one,
but will not call his name. On or
about the 27th or 28th, he had cured
all of his tobacco, ploughed up all
the stubbles and knocked them all to
pieces and is now ready to sow wheat.
He then said to the old negro he had
working for him, "you can go down
on the bottom and get up scraps for
tne next corn crop, as this is all I
have for you to do."

Sunday.
Rev.- Mr. Aired filled his regular

Misses Hattie Atwater and Ethel
Finlator, of Oxford, are visiiting
relatives here.
Mrs. Conrad Walters, we are sor

she will soon recover.
What has become of old Sleuth?
Has he let another horse run over
him? Write often old boy.
Old Tall wore a long face last
week because he broke his buggie
and could not fill his appointments.
Mr. John Adcoek died at his home
near here Friday morning at two
o'clock. Paralysis said to be the
cause of his death.
A certain young man near here
calls on a bachelor to make his en
gagements with the girls. He asked
him to make one with a girl at Bed
Mountain, and the Sunday he was
to carry her to church he did not go,
so the bachelor had to carry her.

Miss Loretta Parrott left last week

Oxford.
Curing tobacco and fodder pulling
is about over in this section, all re
port good crops.
Miss Janie Lyon, who has been on
a visit in this section, has returned

We enjoyed the match game of
base ball played last Saturday at
Robertson's grove by the Lyon and
Fish Dam c ubs. The score was 40
to 1G in favor of Lyons.
Mr. W. H. Averett and little
daughter, Florence, returned from

We were pained to hear of the sad
accident and death of our esteemed
friend, Hollie Holloway, of Durham,
while coupling cars on the Durham
& Northern R. R., yard at Durham
last Friday the 3rd of September.
Mr. Frank Wheelis and Miss Espa
Clark, also the writer of Lyons, Mr.
Jim Parrott, of Hesters, Lack Land
with many others from and around
about Stem spent Sunday with Misses
Lucy and Cora Jones, of Stem,
which seemed to be greatiy enjoyed
by all.

Mr. Reynolds to Pay $i00 to Make
Him a Suit of Clothes.
The Orphans' Friend, the organ
of the Oxford Orphan Asylum,
says:
"When the singing class left
Greensboro Saturday morning, Mr.
R. J. Reynolds, of Winston, was at
the station, seeing them off. He
had heard of the talent of Miss
Eugenia Tucker in the use of the
needle, and said to her ,hat he
wanted her to make him a suit of
clothes; would furnish the material
and pay the sum of one hundred
dollars. She is anxiouslv looking
for the material.
"Little Miss Tucker's Asylum
friends claim that she is a wonder
as a clothes maker that she is not
only able to make a suit in first
class style, but that she can give an
accurate fit without the use of the
u-ual tape line, depending solely
upon her eye for the measurements.
After Mr. Reynolds made his offer,
Miss Tucker took a good look f t his
tall, well proportioned form, and re
quested him to extend his arms.
All rignt, said sne. 1 have your
measure now."
As a test, Mr. Reynolds put a few
questions to her, as to his height
his waist measure, etc., and her an
swers came promptly and correctly
The material for the suit will be
sent to her in a few days."

Mr. Editor: Having read the
many interesting letters from your

much to your paper, I thought per

Tax Valuation in the State.
There is an increasing tax valua
tion in North Caiolina over the pre
ceding year, but it is noticeable that
me increase comes rrom tnree or
four counties. If those four fine
counties in the west Rockingham,
Cabarrus, Rowan and Gaston had
not snown up witn large increase
there would have been an actual de
cline. It is noticeable that the fine
tobacco county of Granville shows a
decline of nearly $200,000. The cig
arette trust has hit the farmers of
that county very heavy blows.
Tbey amount to a quarter of a mil
lion dollars since the octopus fixed
its grinders upon them. Madison
and Person, two other flue tobacco
counties, show even a heavier de
cline than Granville, and they are all
sad victims of the rascally trust. A
well informed gentleman recently in
formed us that in the Pie mont sec
tion the farmers had lost by the trust
not less than $1,500 000. Wilming

The Children.
In dealing with one's children cer
tainly she is the wise mother who
knows when to be conveniently blind,
says an experienced mother. There
can be no hard and fixed laws in re
gard to the management of little
ones without doing them a cruel in
justice, sometimes a child is sick,
nervous, unstrung, and the fault that
at another time might be punished
should be ignored. Indeed, one is
tempted to say that too much man
agement, too many ru es, a continual
reminding of little breaches of m n
ner or grammar, is worse than no
management at all. There has al
ways been a wistful pathos in the
story of the little boy who thoughi
his name was "Johnny Dou't." "But
that is impossible," urged some one,
It is what they call me at home,"
persisted the little fellow, in all good
faith. Perhaps this kiudlv cultivat-
, cu vitiue ui uu.eiy ounaness is on y
auuiuex uauiH ior tact, it igrnor-s
an tnat is unpleasant, and wisely
judges of the appropriateness of time
and season,. When we come home tirt d
and worn it is blind to the fact that
we have thrown ourselyes on the best
sofa and deposited our hat oa the
floor. When we are absorbed with
grief and worry, it does not see the
brusqueness with which we may have
answered a question. There is no
other quality man this convenient
blind ne.-s which makes so muh for
friendship.
