THE EPWORT LEAGUERS
HAVE A GOOD TIME
The pastor of the Milton Cir
cuit was at home to a number of
the young people of the charge on
Friday night, February 26th, at
the parsonage. The Epworth
Leagues of three of the churches,
New Hope, Connally, and Semora,
were represented by the follow
ing: Misses Blanche Pinchback,
Vida Lee Stephens, Mabel Chand
ler. Whmie'gTaylor, Josephine
Chandler, Mary Me Aden, Eliza

Mary Emma Jordan. Ruby Bark
er. and Ruth Nelson; Messrs. Ir

McAden, Willie Barker. Ivey
Rodgers and Berkley Stephens..
Special music was rendered by
Misses Winnie Taylor and Jose
phine Chandler Carnes were
played in which all of those pres
ent participated, and refreshments
were served. It was a happy eve
ning of jolly good fun.
One of the incidents of the eve
ning was that Miss Blanche
Pinchback's car took occasion to
misbehave. Something went
wrong with one of the front
wheels. Fortunately a friend, who
understood cars hapened along,
like a good Samaritan, and help
ed Miss Blanche out of her trou
ble.
We understand that the Pip
worth League has four depart
ments! The. devotional, the so
cial service, the recreational, and
the missionary. The devotional
department holds ds meetings
once a week, the relational once
a month. The social service and
the missionary departments ate

THE BUS LINE A
GREAT CONVENIENCE
The citizens of Caswell county
living on the highway between
Danville and Durham are very
much pleased that a bus line has
been put on between those two
cities, with a schedule of two
busses a day each way.
This added means of transports
tion will make for the convenience
of the traveling public and great
ly, facilitate the transaction of
business.
The Messenger hopes at ah
early date to secure the schedule
of this bus line for our columns
so that passengers will know when

A reporter for The Caswell
Messenger visited the home of
John Lewis Ha!!, of Milton. last
week and was shown twelve hun
dred Rhode Island Red biddies,
which this enterprising young
man, together with his equajly
enterprising partner, John Lips
comb. had recently received by
express from Harrisonburg, Va.
The twelve hundred little chicks
were sheltered in a house built
especially for them, This house
had a partition in the middle of
it, making two separate room$
There were about six hundred
little Huffy yellow chickens in each
room of this house. In each one
of the rooms was a coal-burning
brooder under which the little
birds nestled at night, and ip cool
'weather. '
Mr. Hat) informed us that he
feeds the baby chicks four times
a day with baby chick scratch food
and baby chick mash, which they
hke very much. Water for them
is placed in numerous containers
about on the door, from which
they can be seen drinking tre
quently. In this water is some
times placed certain medicines
that are good for them.
Mr. Ha!! made the house for the
s hickens himsetf. It is tightly en
closed a!! around, except on the
south Side. The upper half of the
southern exposure is open to the
sun and weather, except for a
wire screen to keep Out the hawks.
At night some.heavy bagging or
other cloth is hung before this
opening to keep out the cold The
door of the building is made of
boards, and over the boards a
shallow sprinkling of earth is
spread. From this earth the
chickens pick enough particles of
sand to meet their needs.
The coabburning brooders are
rather expensive, costing thirty
dollars or more apiece But they
are economical in the long run.
I'or if the chicks become chilled
on some cold night many of them
ate likely to die. Coat stoves used
by Mr. Hal! and Mr. Lipscomb
are self-feeding, and the heat is
regulated automatically, This
makes them much safer and more
satisfactory than the stoves which
must be watched and attended to
so carefully. The heat doesn't
vary much from a certain regu
lated degree.
On top of the sand which cov
ers Ihe floor is placed some litter,
