Mr.. Milford Aycock, from Great

Lon Dali last Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Edwards, of
Princeton, spent Sunday with Mr..
and Mrs. w. H. Neal.
Messrs. J. M. Wood and Council

MI. Jno. Neal and sister, Miss

Miss Genie Coor, who has been

the delight of her host of friends.
Mr.. Charlie Coor and sister, Miss

Barnes Aycock, last week and at
tended the school entertainment.
MI. Claud Grantham, and Misses
Cora Grantham and Annie Bell Rose
were visitors here last Wednesday
night, where we were glad to see
them.
The young people of our commun-
ity had a picnic at Coor's Mill last
Friday which was very much enjoy
ed, Notwithstanding that ~overcoats
are more in evidence than crash
suits.
We went to the river last Wednes-
day afternoon to ''try our luck,' and
before we could get our hooks baited
we were getting more ''bites'' than
we could attend to. We were liter
ally covered with mosquitoes, the
largest we ever saw. A good many
of them would weigh a pound and
could sit on a log and bark.
The Sunday School Convention
which convenes at Ebenezer next
Saturday gives promise of a most en-
joyable occasion. If the weather IS
favorable a large crowd is expected.
There is nothing being left undone
to make it the most pleasant and
profitable convention yet held.
Everybody is invited, and requested
to bring baskets, not empty ones, but
as full as you can get a biscuit in
them.
TXTISIn 61OcCrInO ~ I'M CfI1Y nc for nj r
Ed Game, near Princeton, a laborer
found two Spanish dollars last week.
Mr.. Game Investigated, and found
four more. They all bear date IN
thelatter part of 100, and have given
rise to considerable conjecture as to
how, and when, they found their
hiding place. No doubt, if possessed
with speech, they could give an in
teresting history.
If the warm rays of ''spring time
Gentle Annie" is required to cause
the poetical fountain of ~. M. H.
TO bubble and overflow in sweetest
strains of poesy, we are not surprised
at his silence. In fact, if his etfuslor
is a harbinger of Spring there are
MANY who will come to the conclu
sion. and rightly, that he knows hi
sspeesnis.n The ground hog to The
contrary, notwithstanding.
His many friends will regret t.
know of the serious illness OF Mr.
Munroe Brewer, one of our best far
mers. and a worthy citizen. He ha
been in declining health, due t.
stomach trouble, for a year, n Will
blowing, his pillow struck a STUN.
and the handle gave him such
forcible lick that he had to be take
home. This aggravated his symI
toms and confined him to bed. w
wish for him an early restoration
health.
A cow, belonging to Mr.. Beverl
Sasser. gave birth to a calf last wee
with a double face. The top OF tt
head with the ears was natural, OF
+bare were two distinct mouths, tW
noses. two tongues, and four eye
each face separate and distinct frol
the other, but both blending Ju
above the eyes, to form the top OF y
head, with only two ear. 1t was
large. fine calf, perfectly developt
otherwise, and it is a pity its IL
couId not have been saved.
