! Correspondence of the Sentinell
KERNERsvILLE, July I'm point
of men of strength and muscle, we
i would place your neighbor-the town
Of Kernersville, with Winston, on
record, too, as having several men,
who while they do not feel disposed
or sufficiently practiced to challenge a
Corbett or Sullivan, are possessed Of
considerable strength, manhood and
muscle.
Mr.. Vert Gardner, whose average
weight Is about 200 and stature some
less than Mr. Buxton's, is a Samson for
strength and muscle and can handle
at ease heavy weights that ordinary
men cannot raise,
Mr.. Clinton Fettcr, though small in
size and light in weight comparatively,
possesses degree Of strength and
muscle in his arms that but few of
his inches have. He can hold a weight
OF 10 odd pounds in his hand with out
stretched arm with as much steadi-
ness as most men Of his size would
hold rs pound bag of shot.
Mr.. J. NJ. Greenfield, though quiet
and unpretending as to his muscular
strength, ordinarially, when occasion
demands that it be tested, proves to
be giant for strength and muscular
manhood. Mr.. J. P. Adkins, also,
whose arm and muscle measures IA
inches and chest A inches and draws
the beam at about 100 pounds, is
power Of strength when tested and
can as nearly shoulder a tierce Of to-
horse load of hay-a small tierce. SO
we imagine. Mr.. VIM. ID. Stockton,
our clever and genial auctioneer, who
has no aspirations to be the strongest
man in town, is equal in strength and
manhood to many of the strongest
and is afraid of nothing but ghosts.
We might mention others but these
Will serve to place US on record.
Miss Jessie kerner is away and will
spend fortnight visiting the family
of Prof. Fetter and others at High
Point, n. G.
The Calleopean Society had very
pleasant, interesting and instructive
gathering at the residence of Prof j.
S. Ray, on Saturday night.
Mr.. L. M. Griffith, who travels in
the interest Of the tobacco business of
Mr.. b. A. Brown, is home for few
days.
Grandma Dicks, of Randleman, is
here visiting her daughters, and other
relatives and friends. She will spend
some time with her sons at Walker
town and Oak Ridge Drs. W. p. aid
David Dicks.
Mr.. Bruce Beard and Mr.. Charlie
Griffith, who have been attending the
Agricultural School, at Raleigh, are
at home on vacation.
Quite heavy wind and hard rain
with hail accompanied by heavy peals
OF thunder and lightning passed over
our town Saturday evening. We have
heard of no damage save the corn and
oats being considerably tangled and
blown down.
Masters John and Lucian Fulton
have six or half dozen mocking
birds which warhle their melodians
notes upon the fresh morning breezes
now days. Any one wishing to pur-
chase a singer should do well to call
early.
Oscar L. Sapp, Esq, and family, of
Asheboro, n. O., are here on visit to
his parents. Mr.. Sapp left here about
six months ago and located in Ashe-
borO for the practice of law and we
learn is building up lucrative
practice in his profession at that
