OSIlHlCITYtGIWT WEDNESDAY. June 7,-1913. ISAAC S, LONDON,. Ediltr THERE lived in ' this county years ago,. & famopi: huntsman named RichinonHieks, who of ten relatedifSnderf uL stories of iwess with gun and rod. Wonderful, -In fact, were some vthem that skeptical folks pass i,ea uiem up, dui we, Being a tympathetie nature, readily be- lieye all the stories related of ; This huntsman, Hicks, had : a rife so well trained that when any game came near his cabin it , - would jump about in the rack in which it rested above the door. One day while he was at dinner, the fine began acting strangely, and to satisfy its lust for killing game, he took it down and went to the door expecting to see nzTKey or a deer. Mot seeing anytbing. however, he replaced toe rrae in the rack., and re sumed bis dinner. Still the ri ne oegan its strange actions, so Ejainhe went ; to the door and looking up he saw in the heavens a faint speck towards which the okl rifle kept bobbing. To satis fy it, he drew a bead and fired at the far distant speck, and then : returned to his dinner: The old rifle had become quiet and by the time he was ready for dinner the next day he had forgotten all about its actions of the day before. But just as he was seated at the table the next day, a rushing sound was heard in the heavens as though a whirl wind was coming and hurrying outside, he found a huge bald eagle prone on the earth, with a bullet hole in its head. Re turning to his house, he took down his rifle and was there found lost in contemplation at the remarkable accuracy and range of a rifle that would kill a bird to far in the heavens that a day would be required for it to reach the earth ! In other words, that was some rifle! A reunion was held at Chapel Hill last week of the War classes of the University, and diplomas were given ' those students who left the University during the War and were thereby unable to graduate. In writing of this fea ture of the last Commencement, the editor of the Chatham Rec ord, Major H. A. London, says: The class of which this writer was a member entered the Uni- voraitv inat. fiftv vAftrS >O thlS summer. Of all the members of that class only one went througn the full collecre course, ne not De- hag of military age, and he is Rev. w. c. Frout. now an fpis- conal clertrvman in the State of New York. All the others from time to time left Chapel Hill and joined the Confederate army As soon as the war was over Gov. Swain (at that time the nrPRifont of the University) no tified those who had left and joined the army that he would oWnt them dinlomas . if they would return and make the us ual graduating speeches at the Commencement of 1865. Three of them f including this writer) Accented this offer and were the 7 - . i e a graduating class on tne nrst Thursday in June, 1865, and a majority of our audience" were some of Kilpatrick's cavalry, who were there as the garrison. "This was a exeat commence ment in manv respects. ine weather could not have been more favorable and the old cam mis npver looked lovelier. The attendance on May 30th wasun usually large, every seat in the commodious Memorial Hall being filled and hundreds of persons standing outside during the exercises. It was a most unusual scene when the "old boys," who had left the the University du ring the War, were called to the platform to receive their diplo mas. Ui course an were oiu men. crav-headed and some quite decrepit, and as they stood there receiving their long oeiay ed diplomas it was indeed a pa thetic sight. Among them were men wno nave Decome uisun puished in bublc life since the Back's Letter. ; Editor Grit- Oaftanute a Sent Candaa. - .. , ,. . A- ."1-1.

It would be interesting indeed to know the exact amount of "trash" a large crowd consumes on a gala day. May 16th, was Commencement 4ay with the Siler City Graded School and over 2,000 people were present to attend the exercises and hear our distinguished Governor apeak. In a hurried canvass of the different stores and booths here we find that 85 gallons of ice-cream were sold, 210 milk shakes, 93 bunches of bananas and scores of pounds of cake and candies. As to bottled and soda fountain drinks, it is impossible to even estimate the number. All of which goes to show that people have a careless regard for their digestions, and in a large - crowd where there is a profu ion of things to eat and drink tneywiu satisfy an rajaginary advisedly, because in our own experience we know of a certain party who attends the meetings of his secret order only when feeding" is in progress: . and then he crams and eats prodig ously, whereas at his home he is a very moderate eater indeed.

Richardson (at Johnson Bros. As they approached, it was great store. ) The Greensboro News has en r quired of us what effect, if any, the Tecent drouth has had on the rabbit crop of Chatham county. We herewith give to an anxiously expectant public the glad tidings that the prospect for a bumper crop this fall was never brighter and that the toothsome little ani mal will be even more succulent by reason of the prolonged dry ness. It still grieves us Jto think that last winter the shipments from Siler City fell from 19,67 for 1910. to 16.573 for 1911 This year we hope to showa gain over 1910. The hum of the reaper will next week be heard abroad in the land, and the swish of the blades as the golden grain is garnered will be sweet music to the man who has watched the fruition of his labor for many months. A very good crop will be harvested in this county, therefore are we jubilant The "poetry" on this page is very fine; it appeals to the imagi nation and is a most graphic pen picture. Our efforts at stimula-1 ting a poetic sense among the latent talent of Western Chat ham is surely being rewarded. The phraseology of this partic ular '"poem" is expressiveness personified.
