ment went to Diana and after salts
flying the inner man Capt. Wiley
Orr put on his ''cut-away" coat a
coat somewhat mbling the claw
hammer prepared for the occasion J,
called the roll and marched US to
the field for sport Our hunt was
an enjoyable one although game
was scarce. We killed about six
score rabbits and birds, one cat,
and when night came an impudent
cur came prowling around. A brass
lamp with nails in it was attached
to the dogs tail, then few guns
fired by way of encouragement
which set him a-going; he went
yelling every bound until the sound
died away in the distance across
the eastern hill. That purp has no
more use for the Mooresville boys.
Many thanks for the kindness of
friends shown us while there, and
doubly thankful are we to Miss Ida
for her entertaining music.
w. D. Orr was here a day or
two last week.
Henry Stone and family re-
turned yesterday after spending

Bear Creek church is to have

Rev. j. NJ. Brown went to Elk
Ridge yesterday to preach.
"A debating society will be or
ganized at Union Valley next Sat
urday night and on Sunday night
there will be preaching by Rev.
Mr.. Bradley.
Prof. C. A. Webb's school
closed here last Friday. Mr.. Webb
contemplates going to his home in
North Carolina soon.
Prof. j. F. Wilson's school
closed last Friday night with an
exhibition. We consider the en-
tertainment extra good considering
that most of the pupils are very
small and only had two weeks time
for preparation. We have not the
program, neither time to notice it
all if We had it, "The lips that
touch wine shall never touch mine"
was recited by Miss Belle BrIsby.
Would to God that the fair daugh-
tiers of our land would come boldly
to the front and say the same.
Dram drinkers, we are not angry
with you, no, not at all, but we are
angry with that intoxicating mon
ster, whisky, and we want TO drive
it if possible from this lovely land
of ours. "Come home, father" was
acted by little Virgie Calvert. If
there had been q father there to
witness that scene acted that had
ever been drunk he certainly could
not help resolving never to again
drink intoxicating liquors. The
exercises of the school closed with
valedictory essay which was rem
dered by Miss Laura CLOSEUP.
Several mistakes occurred in
my last but ! suppose it was caused
by my bad penmanship.
| Hog killing is about over.
lBreathes there a man with soul so
dead who some time in his life
meier said, l love back bones and
cold hog head, broiled spare ribs
too with cracklin' bread?
