FAISON NOTES.

ReY. A. b. Cramplor to Commence a Series
of Meetings at That Place--A Mean
Man Visits Faison--Personal Items.
Faison N. c., June 20, 81.
DEAR ARaUs:-A heavy wind
storm visited this section last
Friday afternoon, but no serious
damage was done.
Mr.. Thos. Perrette, Jr., who
left a few days ago to make Vir-
ginia his home, returned last
Wednesday. He had only been
gone a week, but fully realized
that 'sthere is no place like homer
We are glad to welcome him
back.
A large number of our towns
people spent Sunday in Mt
Olive, in attendance upon the
great holiness meeting. They re-
port much interest manifested,
and the largest number of people
ever seen in Mt. Olive before, ex-
cept on "circus day." Next Mon
day, the 28th, Rev. MI. Crumple1
will remove his tent from Mt
Olive to this place, and com
mence a series of meetings.
Miss Kate Switzerland, of Mt.
Olive, is spending some time with
relatives and friends here.
Mr. G.. A. Brown, of the ARGUS,
was visiting friends in this sec
tion Sunday.
Miss Winnie Faison left Mon
day for Chapel Hill, where she
|goes to attend the Normal.
An ice-cream supper was served
last Friday night by the society
Of W. G. T. y. We expected Mr..
Jno. Oates to lecture for us, but
he failed to come. However, the
audience soon forgot their dis
appointment when our esteemed
townsman DR.. Jno. Faison as
cended the rostum, for we knew
a treat was in store, and in his
own pleasing manner spoke words
of encouragement to the society
that lent inspiration and blended
sober thought with myth, which
made the occasion a pleasant,
social, and financial success.
MI. B. B. Jackson spent a few
days with his brother, at Rose
Hill, last week.
Miss Gertrude Rogers is visit
ing at Mt. Olive.
Mr.. B. J. Sasser and family, of
Florida, arrived here Friday, and
will spend some time visiting rel
atives.
Our hotel, under the manage
ment of it's new proprietor Mr..
r. J. Switzerland, is the pride of
the town. AS a caterer to the
wants of the travelling public Mr..
Switzerland has won for himself
an enviable reputation, as he
spares no pains to make it pleas
ant for his patrons, and to keep
his table supplied with the best
the market affords.
The meanest man we know of
that has infested our quiet little
town for quite a while, and who
justly deserves the censure of an
indignant community, is the ex-
pert writing master and travelling
fake Professor Bean, and we take
this method of informing the pub
lie of the contemplate outrage
perpetrated upon our people by
this crafty individual in the guize
of a gentleman. He secured a
class of nineteen pupils at the
rate of $3.50 for eight lessons,
the money to be paid at the ex-
piration of the fourth lesson, and
the remaining lessons to be given
thereafter, which agreement was
complied with by the scholars.
The Professor has not been seen
since, but, like the Arab, in the
dark shadows of evening "folded
his tent and silently stole away"
However, we are thankful that he
has gone out from among us Sc
soon, for a man of this type might
have left a more lasting impress
|sion had he fingered long enough
to finish his instructions.
