Lookout for Worlds Fair Coins

Citizens OF Wiuston-Salem should
keep an eye open for Worlds FAIR
coins in exchanging money. The sun
says that the people of Durham are
being sWindled in every conceivable
way. Some person or persons are go
ing around and passing off advertising
souvenirs Of the Worlds Fair for dol
lars. They generally meet man on
the street about dark aud ask him TO
give them two halves for a dollar.
They are so near the size and weight
Of a dollar that it is almost imp
sible to detect the difference in the
dark, and when they do find out their
mistake the one who4assed it is gone
and they do not know who it was.

A Worm In a Child's Ear.
n the EavetteviIle Ohservar


Marion Gray, the three-year-old son
Of our townsman, Mr.. J. r Vann, has
been suffering for the past three weeks
from a severe pain in his left ear,
which came on periodically. He
would play about the house most of
the time and appear to suffer no pain,
then suddenly he would put his hand
to his ear and scream as If he were on
the verge of spasms, and continue to
suffer an hour or two, when he would
get quiet and go to sleep. The family
physician was called in-diagnosed
otitis, and prescribed accordingly. On
last Saturday the child began scream
ing as before, when Mrs. Vann pulled
off his hood to examine his ear, and
saw protruding therefrOm a worm in
doubled form. She pulled it out, and
found it to be about five inches long,
of the ascaris lumbricOides variety.
The child Immediately got quiet, and
has suffered no pain since.

ing-especially so were those given on
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings by
the Home and Elm Street Chapel
Schools, respectively. Nearly all the
schools distributed presents among
the scholars. The closing entertain
ment was given by Grace (Methodist)
School Thursday night. An attractive
program, in which the children and
many OF the older ones took part, was
creditably rendered. The pastor took
the place OF old Santa Claus and gave
out the presents. In behalf Of the
school he presented Miss Stella carp,
organist for the church and schoUi,
with a beautiful gold watch guard.
Mr.. Charles Belo, leader OF the choir,

There was nothing out of the com

the Moravian and Episcopal churches
services were held, and fine musical
programs were rendered
Family gatherings were the order,
specially bountiful dinners were served
at the hotels and boarding houses, and
good deal OF private charity was dis
peused. Old Santa Claus made the
hearts OF many little folks happy.
