Every week doubts melt away
and the prospects look brighter
as to the certainty for that new
railroad. If it brings Mexico a
new Union station and a division
and shops, how it will wake things
up. In the meantime don't be too
certain; we have seen railroad beds
thrown up and bridges built
everything ready for the rails
and still the cars never came. What
we suggest is, let Mexico never
cease to rely on her own efforts
for progressiYeness and prosperity.

- In the Les,er Edge Of

A man named Bum Capps wa
found in a critical condition near tn.
home ofCapt. A. L.. Sasser, in Forl
township this morning. Capps wa
found by his SON in a roadside ditch
where he had lain all night. He
had been severely lacerated with 6
knife and thrown into the ditch tx

He was not dead when found and
his son went to the home of Mr.. D.
A. Sasser, where there was a Bel
telephone and phoned to this city
for a doctor. DIR. Thee. L. CHM
answered the summons and dressed
the wounds. Capps vas very weak
from loss of blood and his recovery
is doubtful.
Caps lives in the lower edge OF
Johnston county. He came to this
city yesterday and was on his way
back home when he met with such q
terrible experience. His home is
near the old Atkinson mill and Is
six or seven miles from where he got
cut.
During the night his mule and
cart were found at his gate. The
family Immediately began a search,
thinking that he was somewhere on
the premises intoxicated. They did
not find him and early this morning
his oldest son took the same team
and started back to town. He came
along slowly and found his father al
the place described above. The evil
dence of a scufhe in the road, which
had not been washed away by the
rain at that time, and the stains OF
blood on the ground enabled the
young man to locate his father.
Capps is a farmer. The purpose
of the cutting. is not known Or even
s~uspicioned at present. When he
regains consciousness and strength

AN OCCASION.
The Festival at Salem Last Friday
Night, Was A Great
Success.

DEAR ARGUs:-The festival held
at Salem last Friday night, Dec. 4th,
conducted by u efficient teacher,
Miss Edna Oliver, assisted by Mr.. o.
j. Howell and others, for the purpose
OF establishing a library in the pub
lie school, was a complete success
Being gotten up in such a short time
it had not become very we'll known
throughout the community, never
theless good crowded. merry-makers
and well-Wishers to the cause, as
their liberality proved, were present.
There was, of course, a plenty OF
everything nice to eat, as always is
on such occasions, and every body
seemed to have a good time.
The most interesting feature and
that which proved the most beneh-
clal one was a cake contest. The
cake was donated by Mrs. William
Howell and vas voted upon by the
school boys add other young men to
the prettiest young lady. It was OF
a large heart shape and it's snowy
Whlteness contrasted beautifully with
the bank Of green geranium leaves
upon which it lay. Whether so pre-
pared Intentional or not but it sug-
gested to our minds the emblem OF
purity. Through which motive no
doubt 1t was given and for which
purpose it vas to be used.
At the close Of this amusing and
interesting contest the cake was
awarded to Miss Edna Oliver having
received 212 votes. The total amount
received for this cake was $23.35,
over which there was pleasant sur
prise and much rejoicing, but none
more genuine, we believe. than that
of the schoolboys who stuck together
and fought SO nObly for this honor
for their excellent teacher. Notwith-
standing they had strong opposition
to contend with, it seemed only to
lAC UICAl AClC1l I1AdlACA hOO W
be backed down, 80 they stood firmly
together with answering, untiring
effort fighting their opponents as
bravely and nobly as did their fore
fathers "'way back in the sixties''
until the end of the contest and sue
cess crowned their efforts. Then
| words needed no utterance for JOY
and happiness vas stamped upon
| each cOuntenance.
AS we stood by admiring the pluck
of these young heroes we thought il
throughout their future lives they
were as persevering and as deter
mined of success as at that time-ii
is enough to say "'Twill be well
with the boys" Another great en-.
couragement to them besides the
achievement of success was that this
act of loyalty was not lost upon thei1
teacher, whose very expression O.
c~ountenance showed plainly that il
was treasured more than. words car
ever tell; not for the cake alone bu1
because, in the language of the poet
"'Tis sweet to be remembered"
At the close Of this evening o
pleasure it was found that the ne
proceeds were $500 Thus the OBJ
ject was accomplished and our librar,
is an established fact, and we believ,
everybody enjoyed it and went ava,
with a lighter purse, no doubt, bu
also with a lighter heart, feeling tina
they had spent their money for
good cause.
