WALTER, N. G,
July s, 1903.
Mrs. Laura Andrews, of your city,
was visiting Mr.. and Mrs. George
Becton last week.
Miss Rena Butts, of Saulston, has
been adding pleasure to the home
of the Misses Dixon for the past
week.
Mr.. James McPhail, of Raleigh,
spent Saturday night and Sunday in
our community, on a visit to special
friends.
Little Becky Edwards, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jno. Edwards, had
fall last Wednesday, which frac-
tured her arm. We are glad to
know she is getting along nicely.
Mrs. Herbert Howell is nursing a
very sore foot, caused by an iron
falling from a table and striking it,
producing quite a painful hurt,
which we trust will soon be well.
We have a baseball team now,
which meets every Saturday after
noon, near Mr.. Jim Hooks, and
those who enjoy witnessing a good
game, have a chance to do SO. No
charge for tickets.
There are two things which neigh
Dor Toby Howell seldom fails in,
and that is, being done corn and
having ripe watermelons by the 4th
Of July. This is a part of his pro-
f~ession, and he lives up to it.,
strictly.
MI. w. H. Neal Will start his
thresher as soon as he can secure a
team to pull it. He tells us he spent
two days last week trying to hire a
team, but every one is so busy he
failed to get it. However he hopes
to start in a few days.
Having to remove a pin from a
patients a who said it slipped out
of his fingers while using it to get
out the wax, confines the fact, that
the best thing to pick the a with,
is the elbow. There is no danger of
its getting away and no possible
harm can result from its use.
Messrs. James Edwards and John
Neal have nine acres of the finest
tobacco in the community. In fact,
from what we have seer and can
learn, it is the only field in the
neighborhood which gives promise
of anything like a crop. The to-
bacco, like corn, is small and short,
and begun to "shoot" two low.
Farmers are very busy laying by
corn, and while the prospects for a
big corr crop are poor, still with
proper seasons from now on, prob
ably an average crop will be made,
though a good deal of it is quite
small and unpromising now. Con-
sidering this and the low price of
peas, there will be an unusual crop
of peas and pea vine hay, if condi-
tiOnS are favorable.
Before believing everything one
hears, especially if it is something
casting any reflection upon the char
acter of one of our fellowmen, so CAL
culated to cause some ones feelings
to be wounded, or stir up strife in a
community, it would be best to OBJ
serve these directions, "Shake well,
and take 5 drops in a glass Of milk
of human kindness three times a
day."
Mr.. and Mrs. H. e. Trip spent
Thursday night with DIR. and Mrs.
Will Crawford and were the victims
of a pounding, given by members
and friends of Ebenezer and Pine
Forest congregations. There was a
good gathering considering that it
was in the midst of the busiest time
the farmers have had this season,
and among the participants were
not only members of the churches,
but several of our young people, not
members, who showed their regard
and esteem for the pastor and his
wife, by their contributions. The
evening was spent in pleasant inter
course, interspersed with music on
violin and piano, which all seemed
to greatly enjoy.
