Mr. Blanc-hard returned on Saturday from a successful meeting: held last week at Bap tint. Center. Mr Henry Blount, the North Carolina "Apostle of Suushine," was with uh on Saturday night last. His rendition of "The Lady of Lyons and Solon Shingle" was superb, and greatly enjoyed bv the audience Seventeen candidates for bap tism were immersed at the Bap tist church by Itev. C. W. Blancn ard, the pastor, on Sunday night, in the presence of a vast congregation, which tilled the large building. All the people of Clayton will rejoice to know that Itev. G. W. Fisher, who has so acceptably i filled the pulpit of the Methdist church here for the past three years, will remain at Clayton as pastor of the church another year, he having been returned by the Conference at Henderson to fill out the four years pastorate. Altera very pleasant trip to the World's Fair at St. Louis. Mr. Will H. McCullers and his beautiful Bride, nee Miss Beale, of Virginia, have returned to Clayton to make it their future home. We wish for them both a lone life of prosperity, and the full fruition of Love's sweet dream. May their Lares and Penates ever be bright with the tender ministrations of de votion an affection, and the home now founded, be the abiding place of comfort and joy forever The Song Union last Sunday j at Archer Lodge baptist church, was largely attended, fully six hundred people being present. We noticed the following visitors i from Clayton among the audi ence: Misses Ellie Whitly, Ada Wall, Floy Johnson, Lessie Barnes, Genoa Wall, Eva Wel lons, Kittie Gulley, Enid Ellis and Messrs. Oscar Creech, Ed Xarron, Arthur Gulley, Durward Austin, Henry Whitley, \1. H .Jones, W. H. l'oole, Eugene Stephens, John Hinton, Oscar Eason, Robt. Wall and llobt Barham. The Singing by the various j choirs was up to the usual stand ard of excellence. An address by J Prof. I). L. Ellis, of the Clayton ; High School, was well received by the audience, after which a j recess was taken for dinner. The dinner was both abundant and good, and all that were present had a feast of the sub stantiate of life. Saturday night, while return ing to Clayton, Mr. Robt. Bar ham, junior member of Barham Brothers, living near here, had an exciting and dangerous ex perience in Neuse river bridge, two miles from town. It seems that Mr. Barham was driving a spirited horse which took fright just before entering the covered bridge over the river and began to run at top speed, kicking as I he went. The horse dashed into the bridce.which was verv dark. and ran, full tilt, headon into the wide timbers of the bridge, break ing his n^ck killing himt-elf instant ly, and wrecking the tine rubber tire buggv. Strangely enough, j Mr. Barham, who was shut up | in the top buggy, escaped unhurt. He walked to town,and returned with a team and dragged the dead horse off the bridge that night. The loss of horse and buggy will amount to over #200. One young man from Clayton concluded he'd "kill two birds j with one stone'?attend the Union and call on his best girl, after the singing was over, so he drove over to her home with her. The horse was tied to the fence, and the aforesaid young man forgot the flight of time in his devotions at the shrine of Love ( and when at last he tore himself ( away from his adored one, and , went to the place where the horse | was left, he found the place there, , but the horse had fled to parts , unknown, suposedly to Clayton. ?. So, onfoot, our Lothario trudged | to town, only to find that the , horse had decided to spend the - night out in the country. On * Monday it rained, and it rained; but our Mister Man had to hunt t that horse. Well, to make a i long hunt short, the horse wasj found late at eveuing, and by nine o'clock Monday night our gallant knight made his way into Clayton, a wetter and a wiser man! Moral: Next time, youug man, when you go a courting, ride a bicycle, or walk ?it's cheaper in the long run. "Yelir." - Approaching Marriage. Cards have been received by friends here as follows: Mrs. James S. Wootenrequests the pleasure of your company at the marriage of her daughter Daisy Louise to Mr. Allen Kend rick Smith at half after six o'clock Grace Methodist Pro testant Church LaUrange, North Carolina, Bertie Lee Suttle the Winner A bevy of little girls, who are to be the future housewives of our countv, gathered at Cotter Stevens Co's store on Wednesday afternoon, and demonstrated their skill at baking biscuits. About thirty girls, all under fif teen years of age, contested and the results were of such a splen did nature, that the judges had a hard time in deciding the best plate of biscuits. Several girls were very evenly matched, but alter careful consideration, the priz->, a beautiful Buck's Junior llange, was awarded to little Miss Bertie Lee Suttle, and little Miss Mary Wellons was declared a close second.

Induced Dr. Howard company to { Make Special Price. After a great (jea| Qf effort and correspondence, Llood Bros., the popular druggists, have succeed ed in getting the Dr. Howard Co. to make a special half-price introductory offer on the regular fifty cent size of their celebrated specific for the cure of constipa tion and dyspepsia. J1 Dr. Howard s specific has been so remarkably successful in curing constipation, dyspepsia ' and all liver troubles, that Hood Bros, are willing to return the price paid in every case where it does not give relief. The|old-faphioned idea of dosing with mineral waters, cathartic pills or harsh purgatives will soon be a thing of the past. The ' best physicians are prescribing; Dr. Howard's specific because it really gives the desired result;A and on account of the small and pleasant dose that is needed. ?' So great is the demand for this specific, that Hood Bros, havei been able to secure only a limited i supply, and every one who is troubled with dyspepsia, consti- ? pation or liver trouble should 11 ?all upon them at once, or send J 25 cents, and get six doses of the beet medicine ever made, on this J special half-price offer, with their ' personal guarantee to refund the ? money if it does not cure.

The Judge's charge to the jury was plain, practical and to the point. A number of cases have been disposed of, but none of any special importance. most of them resulting in a suspension of judgment upon payment of the costs. John Winfield plead guilty of the theft of a pair of shoes and was given 8 months on the Smithfield roads. I ..4-1 /< -1 T I> uutuvr vireeu, anas -J. IV. Winston, was found guilty of embezzlement and sentenced to six mouths on Clayton roads. The only capital case before court?Charley Watson who is charged with rape?was contin ued to Thursday morning of the first week of March C rm of court. The most important case tried at this term was the case against W. L. Fuller, alleged to have assaulted Miss Etta Jones while on his carriage coming from the depot on the night of October 12th. A large number of wit nesses on both sides have been examined and the case hard fought. The Solicitor, Flon. Armistead Jones, was assisted in the prosecution by Attorney W. A. Fin 'b, of Wilson. The de fense is represented by Messrs. Pou & Brooks and Mr. Ed. 8. A hell. The examination of witnesses was completed a little after four o'clock and the speeches of counsel begun. A night session of the court was held. After counsel on both sides had made able speeches, the Judge charged the jury who took the case ten minutes before ten o'clock. No verdict was brought in last night. The jury has been out all night at ten o'clock Friday morning returned a verdect of not guilty. Methodist Appointments Ualclgh District. W. H.

We learned while in Durham last week that under prohibition drinking had decreased at least 75 per cent, while drunkenness had decreased over 90 per cent. This being true, we unhesita tingly pronounce prohibition a success in Durham. The above statement is from the most re liable source, and may be ac cepted with the utmost confi dence. We are glad to hear of the successful operation of the law, for we had not supposed prohibition would be a success in any town with the population Durham has. Prohibition is the more fortunate for Durham be cause such a Jlarge per cent of its population are working peo ple.?Ilaleigb Times. Appointments. Rev. J. D.
