The Peal Of SiIvery Bells.

For twenty five years Mr.. and Mrs.
l.. +. Born have journeyed, hand
in hand united, sharing the sun
shine and storms of life, surmount-
ing the barriers along their path
way and lending hand to those in
need. During the quarter of cen
fury they have passed. sharing with
each other and the world about
them the manifold blessings pro-
vided by an All-wise Creator, they
have made many warm and true
friends. About fifty Of their friends,
knowing that Sunday would be
their Silver Wedding Anniversary
planned to surprise them at their
comfortable home, on north Park
street, Saturday night.
In the evening, Mrs. Born was in
vited to accompany Mrs. Fred Della
hoyde to the library rooms to look
over some of the books and, after
the work which Mrs. Born has
shown deep interest as member
of The Thursday Club. While Mr..
Born was quietly seated in his
home, passing the time very pleas
antly reading, friend dropped in,
then another and another until in a
short time he found himself sur
rounded by many friends. He ex-
planned that Mrs. Born had gone to
the library rooms, little thinking
that she had been taken there pur-
posely by her friends that she
might return later to find her home
filled with her admiring friends
nor can we express her surprise
upon her return. These friends
brought with them many valuable
presents, as tokens Of their esteem
while several friends and relatives
living at a distance, remembered
them and sent some very pretty and
valuable gifts, as tributes to former
days and former deeds and acts of
kindness. Refreshments, consist
ing OF ice cream, and cake were serv-
ed by those who were at the head Of
the merry band of friends.
After refreshments had been serv.

their friends who crowded around
them to speak some word of endear-

through their pilgrimage down the

return for the many expressions Of
good will and fraternal greetings
spoke feelingly of their apprecia

brance from their friends.
The happy crowd fingered long
regretting todepart for their homes
breaking, as it were, the cord o
friendship to separate, never te

E. f. Edmondson owner of the
we'll known Perry Nurseries, says
the Perry Chief Reporter, believes
in expansion when it comes to his
business, and in order to make room
tor greater growth has purchased
1877 acres of the Robert Obsorne
farm two miles south Of the city,
where he intends in the spring to
begin the planting of extensive orc
,hards of apple and pear, for which
much of this land is we'll adapted.
That the business of this popular
nursery has doubled in the last
three years is not strange in veiw of
the fact that whenever their stock
has been planted during this time
less than half as much of it has fail
ed to grow as that of any other nurs-
cry selling in the same places.
One fact in connection with an en-
terprise of this kind should not be
lost sight of, and that is that
it brings the money of sections dis
tant from Perry and supports many
people who live here, something no
other kinds of business do here.
None of our merchants are known
to nor do bring any money from Au-
dubon, Crawford, Shelby, Marshall,
Taina, Hardin, or Pocahontas coun-
ties in all of which places the Perry
Nurseries are we'll known and have
fine trade. Notwithstanding this
fact some farmers and even a few
business men, annually buy from
distant nurseries and pay higher
prices for stock, half of which. and
sometimes all die the first year
See the statesmen of this nursery and
place your order for what you need
this spring. John Crane, of Extra
is agent for this nursery.

Cock Shooting In Tall Corn.

Cock shooting in tall corn is as easy
to the expert as it is puzzling to the
novice. You will, of curse, work with
the rows, not aero them, and if you
are wise you Ill shoot at every
glimpse of bird and very frequently
after an instants sight of him, when
you can only guess where he is. Sharp
work, say We, my masters. Yes, in
measure, but not so wonderful after all.
You certainly must be ever ready and
swift and smooth in action. but actual
sight of the bird at the instant of pull
Ing trigger is not necessary
Green corn won't stop even fine shot,
and your charge will give a pattern as
big as bushel basket; hence the shak.
Ing OF leaf, the flick of vanishing
wing, are enough for the master of the
art. In an instant his gun is on the
spot where species Of lightning cal
culation tells him the bird should be,
and the trigger is pressed without the
slightest delay. The difficulty with the
novice is to get him to shoot at once in
stead Of waiting in vain for clear
view. Experts kill bird after bird tn
this way. The novice must dismiss all
thoughts of empty shells. No good
sportsman worries over misses, though
he will learn from failures how to hold
next time. There is no royal road to
success In the field. Nothing but ex-
perience really counts. So let the nov
Ice crack away. although he may only
get one bird in ten. We all know what

MANY KILLED IN RACE RIOT.
Whites and Blacks Give Baltic in a Lou
isiana Parish and the End Is
Not Yet.

New Orleans, Oct. 29.-The Picay-
une's Amite City special says: Three
white men and II negroes killed in a
race riot is the startling and terrible
news received yesterday from Wash
ington parish. Your correspondent
has just conYersed with a man from
Franklinton who confirms this infor-
nation, but he knows nothing of
what has happened since Sunday
evening. The first news of the race
riot was brought here yesterday by
Cornelius Nixon, who, with his mother,
left for Franklinton yesterday morn
ing. He stated that white men rode
into Franklinton at two o'clock yes
terday morning, seeking help, saying
that the negroes were up in arms
and threatening to exterminate the
whites.
The scene of the trouble is at or
near Balltown, where a negro was
burned last week for criminally as
saulting a white woman. This was
not the cause, however, of the MUIR
ders Sunday in which three white
men and IL negroes were killed and
several wounded.

NO SOCIAL EQUALITY.
Gov. Aycock Tells Negroes That the Law
Which Separates Whites and Blacks
Is Inexorable.

Raleigh, N. c., Oct. 3O.-Gov. Aycock
yesterday opened the negro state
fair in an address in which he urged
the negroes to build up a society
among themselves, founded on cul-
ture, intelligence and virtue. In the
course of the address he referred to
President Roosevelt dining Booker T.
Washington and said to the negroes
that their best friends lived in the
south. He told them they did not
need recognition by the president, as
it would avail nothing in the south
He said: E'The law which separates
you from the white people in the
state socially has been and always
will be memorable, and it need not
concern you or me whether the law
is Violated elsewhere. it never will be
violated in the south. It's violation
would be to your destruction as well
as to the injury of the whites" He
pledged the best efforts of the whites
to aid the negro, but told them that
social equality was an idle dream.
In reply DR.. C. II. King, a promi-
nent negro minister of the Methodist
church, said the negroes did not want
social equality, that neither he nor
his people wanted to sit down at the
dinner table of the whites, and that
they were not in sympathy with any
such idea
