When any ore draws a cherry pie
on us, we always thereafter have a
tender regard for them. But when
we find out it is a pocket edition,
and not like the big ones our ances-
tors used to make, it hurts our feel
ings, especially when we are behind
on cherry pie, as we ''in-generally"
are.
Mrs. Walter Cochran, from near
Charlotte, is on a visit to her
brother, MIR. J. q. Thompson, where
her host of friends are delighted to
see her, in the neighborhood, where
her childhood and part of her wo-
manhood days were spent and
around which, cluster the sweet mem
cries of her old home.
Misses Lula and Hagar Lynch,
from Johnston county, were visiting
in our community last Sunday, One
of our young men says he disting
uishes Miss Lula and her twin sister
by their different types of beauty;
though they are SO much alike, I

If mosquitoes generate disease
there is work ahead for the doctors,

ting, the meshes of which are so full
next morning, he can't get up till the
neighbors come in.
Miss Lizzie Becton came near hav-
ing a runaway last week. She was in
the wagon getting ready to go with
a crowd of young people to Salem

not her brother Mr.. Leland, heard
them coming, and gotten in the roac
with long pole, there might have
been serious accident.
