Box Mountain in Rebellion.
Some years ago an effort was
made to kave that portion of
Stokes County this side of Town
Fork Creek annexed to Forsyth
County, hut it failed. The citi
zens of Box Mountain are now
formulating a plan by which
they hope to have all that section
of County from Buffalo Wallow
on to Town Fork annexed to
Stokes County. They do 'this be
cause there appears to be no
effort made to even work the
roads in that section. Taxation
without representation is their
battle cry, and wTe are with them
if the bosses fail to do about in
a lively and substantial manner.
Felt it In Their Bones.
Salisbury, July 31. A strange
occurence, which took place in
the vicinity of Barber's Junction
on the night of July 13, when
Mr. Isaac Lyerly and three mem
bers of his family were murder
ed, is vouched for by neighbors
residing in that section who state
that it was a noticeable fact that
the dogs in various directions set
up a persistent howl which was
continued throughout the night.
The cause of the unusual howl
ing of the dogs has not been ac
counted for.
Stewart Bros, have at last fin
ished their new lodge out on
Willowglade.
Smalleso of Triplets.
Charles piers, who lives at 166
Hamburg rvenue Brooklyn who
presented by his wife late on
Monday .'night '-with three of the
tiniest bits of hu manity that have
been born in this city. The
triplets weighed just 42 ounces
and they are so small that Mr.
Spier, the father, at once commun
ieated with Dr. S. Fischcll the
director of the Dreamland incu
bators and the children are now
thriving there.
There is a boy and two girls
and they have been named Wil
liam, Madeline and Gertrude.
These three make Mr. Spier's
progeny number nine. The
other children were all born
under normal conditions and
are in the best of health. Mrs.
Theresa Rainer, a midwife at
tended the infants until Dr. Fis
chell took them to the incuba
tors. They were wrapped in
cotton, ank hurried to Coney Is
land as fast as possible.
The three new Americans if
placed side by side could easily
find room in a No. 7 hat. In
size each compares favorably
with a featherless squab. The
heads of the children are not
much larger than an ordinary
gold watch and their fingers
are about the width of a tooth
pick. Standing erect they
would look like pigmies along
side a quart milk bottle. N. Y,

It may be a little late in the
seaoson for fish stories, but here
is one from an exchange that is
fully up to the best of the earlier
season. Near Whitehaven, Pa.,
the story goes, a Leigh valley con
ductor hooked a catfish which he
could not land. He was about
to give up in despair when anoth
er fisherman offered to wade the
stream and spear the fish. To
his surprise the fisherman found
his line entering the bunghole of
beer keg. The keg was dragged
ashore and found to contain a 4
pound catfish, which had grown
too large to pass through the
bunghole.
Now and Forty Years Ago.
The Mt. Airy Leader notes
that the N. C. Granite Corpora
tion at that place has just com
pleted their part of National
Museum at Washington, D. C,
for which they recieved $130,000
and have taken a $100,000
contract for a church in New
Jersey, besides smaller orders too
numerous to mention. And just
where this great amount of
granite is being unearthed we
hunted rabbits on many occa
sions, 40 years ago. We also
looked with wonder upon Eng
and Ching the Siamese Twins,,
who lived near Mt. Airy, and
saw our first Chinaman in the
person of Hazec, an almond eye
bo trorn the celestial empire,
who was brought from China by
Itev. Mr. Wood, a returned mis
sionary. Republican.
