Unsatis factory prices at Koxboro caused several loads last week to go to Oxford and Virgilina, but they came back with the same old story, low prices, and Uncle Taunch Slaughter said it wasn't a pleague gone bit higher at Oxford than Roxboro. So from this on I guess you will see the great majority of the tobacco heading for Koxboro, for Uncle Taunch generally knows what he is talkiug about, and he says you will save haulingand get just as much money to sell in Rox boro. Richard was in attendance at Providence on the 17th, Bro. Put nam started a protracted service there on that date, but the crowjl was small and very little interest shown.

Poor Richard. President of Fair Asso ciation Thanks The People. To the people of Person County: I take this method of express ing to you my sincere thanks for the help and patronage given to the Person County Fair Associa tion. This session was a great suc cess in every way and the aid of the many ladies who gave their time and energy and the faithful attendance of the marshals and people from the country, and the young men who gave their time, attention and took in the races are due the sincere thanks of this as sociation. This association was started for the uplift and better ment of our county, and the serv ices rendered by these ladies and gentlemen was a patriotic one to be appreciated by all our people. All articles, for exhibition have been delivered, except a few which have not been called for. And if there is any complaint on the part of anyone we earnestly request such complaints to be made at once to me or Mr. C. C. Cuningham, secretary, and they will be im mediately adjusted. We have tried to look carefully after every de tail and they were many. I rejoice that during the entire time good order prevailed and there was no accident or anything to mar the pleasure or success of the fair. Now with the hearty co-operation of all our people I expect the next fair to be larger, better and more interesting in every respect. We want to make it an annual meeting of which everyone will be proud and glad to help. Again thanking the people, I am, Respectfully, J. H. Carver President. Moriah Items.

The death of little Clyde, thfe nine months old child of Buck Coleman,, (col.), which occurred Saturday October 9th, about 5:00 and mysterious. His mother put him on a pallet in a Voom heated by a stove and left him to gather ground peas a little distance north of the house. Happening to look towards the house she saw much smoke and hurried to the house to see the trouble, she found her babe nearly burned to a crisp, all but the head and up per part of its body. He was not dead but died in about two hours after the mother came to his rescue. The Dr. and others were called but of no need, the work of the fire was so complete no human aid could save.: The father reached home from Rox boro in time to see him depart this life. He was buried near Coleman's home in a new grave yard Sunday. Much sympathy goes out to the strickened ones. -M. C. County Teachers Meeting.
