The method of carry ing the muck has changed since the last time we observed. Then it was carried in small oil pots; now in demijohns. We suppose it goes by the same name, however. In case of an accident in transitu remember you would get only oil damage.

An occasion of real pleasure and interest was that on Friday evening of last week when Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler Martin, assisted by their most charming and accomplished young daughter, Miss Victoria, en tertained at their home on Main street the graduating class of the, Williamston graded school. The occasion was marked by, that gen uineness of the host and hostess, and by an "at homeness" that makes one feel that he is sitting at home with father and mother. The one prevailing spirit was the grad ed school, her glory and prosperi ty. The occasion did much in magnifying and in adding distinct ness tt> this very happy event in the lives of these youug people. After a most beautiful repast most elegantly served the class with signs of slight nervousness repaired to the court house where they acquitted themselves in a manner deserving of praise and with credit to the school. Those present were Mioses Ireue Smith, Lena Thomas, Fannie Belle Timmons, Lettie Critcher, Mess Clayton Moore, Percy Critcher, Haywood Knight, Wheeler Mar tin, Jr., and Prof. S. T. Liles.
