Fish Fry at Big Mill.
The gay throng of fishermen and
fisherwomen, if we observed correct
ly, failed to take with them any
fishing poles as they were about to
be jolted into the country, down on
the pond of the Big Mill, where
Nature of her own accord heli>s the
young fishermen and womeu out
and adds luck to every "bite".
We think it bad policy to carry
lunch to a fish-fpy- you would not
fish with the samel force, because
necessity would not compel you to
do so. - Having a supply, in case
of an emergency, takes all the
romance and novelty that the
youthful mind is heir to out of an
occasion ot this kind.
But there is the sombre forest,
the swiftly flowing brook, on whose
banks they may sit and hear
Nature's eloquent voice on all sides,
to inspire even a fisherman and a
fisherwoman—without a hook and
line —to haul in a goodly suoply of
perch, it they had only thought to
bring their pole.
When you go fishing fish with
hook and line. Be prepared to
catch other things on the side, boys;
there's where theromatic will come
in and lead you into beautiful
"Castles in the Air".

Good News ior One of Martin's Sons.
We publish below an article
from the Fayettevillc Observer,
and in it- we pleasantly note that
one of Martin's young sons, being
only twenty-three years old, has
1 been greatly honored by being
elected Vice President of the Nat
. ional Bank of Fayettville, N. C., a
very strong institution, with a paid
in capital of SIOO,OOO. We are
always glad to see our young men
doing well.

Vanstory, president; I?. H. Wil
liamson, John Elliott, R. G. Har
risop, vice-presidents; Ralph Jessup
' casHier; A. B. McMillan, assistant
cashier; T. M. Shaw, teller.
"Mr. Cooper resigns to devote his
whole time to the Southern I«ife
Insurance Company, the success of
which lias been so greatly promot
ed by his efforts and business qual
ities which made him so valuable
as cashier of the bank. The above
officers are men of the finest busi

WUllamston vs. Hamilton.
The first gamt of the season was
between Wilhamston and Hamil

diamond last Friday eveuing, the
score being 21 to 11 in favor of
Williamston. The line up was:

The features of the game were
the beautiful catch of Willie Watts

manly slide of Frank Taylor, with
closed eyes and a firm determina

Frank thought he was on rollers.
Lawrence as receiver and Long as

fine work.
Williamston Bottling Works.
Mr. C. Alexandre, proprietor of
the Williamston Bottling Works,
has recently installed a gasolene

than he can conveniently handle,
but that he hopes soon to so im
prove his plant as to lie able to
give his customers letter accom

promptly.
Jamesville's Pests
To the Editor;—l wish to ask
■ -yettF-FMdew- have evei been
to a place as old as }amesville and
incorporated also and find as many
different animals on the streets as
tliey find in Jamesville. I beats
all 1 have ever seen. 1 have seen
people feeding their stock 011 the
sidewalks of this place.
I have heard the remark if any
person ever got the first sip of
Jamesville water they would conic
back. If a person, will go down
011 the business street and look
around the well, he never will want
the first drink. It is a shame. I
almost venture to say it is an un
pardonable sin to allow a place to
go so far behind. Other places
are up are doing. Where old,
Jamesville is, where she was years
and years ago.
If nothing else a good idea would
l>e to rent a sprinkler or not have
any, and hire a few men and sweep
the streets. That would help won
derfully. They beat all streets I
have ever walked upon.
