tion Of THE ENQUIRER, that there Is a
statute against the killing Of bullbats.

to so many people in this section lately.
The statute provides fine Of SO or i'm
prisonment for thirty days. It Is based
on the theory that bats are valuable in
Kidding us Of gnats and mosquitoes.
Partridge.
fMr. ]. F. Goforth, Of the Bethany
neighborhood, exhibited four-legged
partridge at The ENQUIRER office last
Saturday. He found 1t in the public
road, in covey of rs or 80 small birds,
flushed by his wagon. This particular
bird attracted his attention by its ina
bility to move as smartly as the others,
and examination showed the peculiar
ity mentioned.
1t Was a Mistake.
The county auditor has corrected the
entry in the transfer book with
reference to the transaction between
Good, ct al, and ]. e. Bankhead.
The number Of acres Of land in
volved in this case was only 125. and
the consideration $3.50. The tract trans
ferred was part of the II. H. Thomson
land and not the D. ]. Good home
place, as was originally stated.

The G. & NV.
Newton Enterprise: The Narrow
Gauge Gauge people are laying new
iron between Lincolnton and Maiden,
and are working on the change OF the
line from Hardin to Lincolnton. The
new line will run along the South Fork
river and will pass by the door of six
cotton factories in a distance of eight
or nine miles. 1t is hoped that they
will change the line at Newton, accord
ing to the new survey. The grade
thereby would be reduced over one per
cent and there would be more factories
of different kinds built on the new line
which would be about two and a ha1
miles long, than there are now on the
new line at Lincolnton.
