Farmers say that crows are playing
havoc with their watermelon crop. It
is sometimes the case that they peck
them, but not much harm has been

Detective Grcer's Visit to winston

Detective Greer, of Greensboro,
came up to Winston on Friday to
get some points about the three ne
groes who broke in the depots at Ad-
vance and Clemmonsville. He is en-
ployed by the Southern Railway. He
decided to let the matter rest for the
present and returned to Greensboro.
If it is discovered that the evidence
against the negroes for breaking in
the postoffice at Clemmonsville is not
strong enough to convict them, the
Southern will push the charge against
them for interfering with their depots.

"Joshua Simpkins," pastoral play
eaid to be on the order of the "Old

tions, comes to the Grand Opera

a sensational saw min scene is intro
duced, showing Uncle Josh Simpkins'
saw mill in actual operation, cutting
up real logs and timber, using 6 real
mammoth buzz saw, which is seen
revolving at frightful speed. The
play. however, does not depend on
this Que scene for success as there are
several other equally interesting
scenes and an abundance of good
wholesome fun and many pleasing
musical features. This company car
ries two very fine bands and superb
orchestra of eleven pieces. They
travel IN their own special car.
