Bike riding is all the rage In
Maxton just now. Young ladies,
men women and children are on
the 60 from early mora till late at
night. They seem to never tire,
and what looks prettier than a
pretty gin gracefully gliding
along our sszaeothstceets7 Il
The military boys and Mr.. San
DIV McKinnon will consolidate
their excursions and the date has
been changed to July Goth. This
is the date and no more change
will be made. Mr.. MeKinnon will
give his attention to the interest
of the military company and no
doubt very large crowd will GO
down. Remember the date and
be on hand. |
A young man by the name OF
Baker was put in the lookup Sat
urday night to cool off, after
| making himself general nuisance
on the streets for half an hour.
Several Of our citizens who were
| on the streets at the time blame
the marshal for the drunken mans
factions If our present marshal
has not the nerve to arrest a man
put one in his place who Will !
Bishop is good street oversee
but as q town marshal he is fair
ure.
| The election to be held on Au-
lgust 10th, to increase the school
tax, is something that every fair
minded citizen should be inter-
ested in. We have no children to
} educate, but we will vote for it
for the advantage it may give to
someone else. And we are in
clined to the belief that our peo-
pie will poll heavy vote in fa'
vor of it. It is hoped that every
man, whether q man of family OF
not, will do his duty and vote fol
increase of tax.
