Not that the perform ers were to be laughed at far be it from this but every one entered in to thei rrole with each seal, vigor and childish glee that the situation was running over with amusement. It is said that the little girls got up the play nnaasi- ed, and there is no rea son to doubt it, but nevertheless a very distinguished lawyer, who has a special fondness for children and growing pretty roses, was seen behind the footlights.

Concord scored in the first inning on a combination of hits and errors and that ended the run making until the fourth, when Kannapolia -forged ahead.

A series of errors, two bases on balls, Overcaah's double and Irby's triple netted four runs. After this the elongated horse hide hurler put extra wrinkles on his shoots and there waa nothing further doing in the scoring line. L.

Buy Screen Doors and Windows. Smithfleld Herald. It is surprising how many well-to-do farmers will deny themselves the ordinary comforts of life when they are in easy reach.

They keep out flies and mosquitoes and add to the comfort of the home day and night. If the whole house cannot be screened they could be put in the windows of the dining and sleeping rooms. The price is a small matter and the comfort and sanitary protection is worth consid ering Sending of Contestants in the $40O Upton Piano Contest June 17th. 1 10200 2 6400 3 4020 4 4865 5 2000 6 9855 7 4130 8 4245 9 2000 10 4260 11 2500 12 2000 13 10100 14 3000 15 3500 16 2000 17 2200 18 2000 19 2000 20 3075 21 3500 22 2000 23 2000 24 2560 25 2535 26 2000 41 2685 42 2000 43 2000 44 2000 46 2000 46 2270 47 2460 48 2370 49 2175 50 2000 51 2000 52 2465 53 3285 54 2000 55 2000 56 2325 57 2000 58 2000 59 2000 6- 2000 61 2300 62 2000 63 2465 64 2350 65 2100 66 2000 67 2000 68 2345 .69 2000 70 2420 " 71 2195 72 2000 73 2340 ' 74 2433 75 2200 76 i2000 77 2329 78 2000 79 2455 80 2520 81 2000 83 2095 83 2095 84 2000 85 2000 86 2000 87 2130 88 2315 89 2540 90 2270 91 2435 92 2000 93 2000 94 2125 95 2000 96 2000 97 2485 . 98 2075 99 2000 100 2000 101 2225 102 2000 103 2400 104 2000 105 2000 106 2340 107 2000 27 2000 28 2300 , 29 2000' 30 2000 31 2000 32 8495 33 2000 34 2000 35 2000- 36 2000 37 2380 108 2000 109 2000 110 2000 111 2000 112 2000 113 2000 114 2000 115 2625 116V- 2000 117 2000 38 2000 39- 2000 aw STATE NEWS, Items of News from aU Parts ef the Old North State.
