sherwood. N. G. r. R.-The Fourth was
rather quietly celebrated hereabout, but AZ
times during the day the boom OF the cannon
cracker could be heard, indicating that young
America had not forgotten the day: AZ nign'
and many of the handsome country places "a
the neighborhood presented brilliant signn.
An exciting game of baseball was played IN the
afternoon between the Sherwood and ROCK
land teams which resulted in favor OF tns
former by a score OF 10 to g. iaIge cio W..
| witnessed the game and much interest was
manifested as it was the first time these tealns
! had met this season.
This is busy time with the farmers andthey
| are pushing their harvest work with great en-
ergy. Most of them celebrated the AN OF yuy
| in the fields. Labor is plentiful and no DIM
| Guilty has been experienced here on that &C.
/! count. Mrs. Elizabeth r. Stevenson, one OF
| our largest farmers, has big force OF men ana
| two binders cutting her wheat crop. she ex-
poets to finish this part Of her harvest THIS
week. She has a very large acreage OF wheat
this year, but it is feared when it is threshedlt
will be found far below the average IN yieio
because of the empty heads. This deficiency
appears to prevail throughout this section OF
the county.
The so.called Jim Crow law that requires
railroad companies to furnish separate apart
ments on local passenger trains for coloreo
people went into effect on the LIST instant ana
the patrons of the Northern Central were anx.
ious to see what provision the company Woulu
make in order to comply with the law. 1t has
done this by attaching an extra car to the trains
with the same accommodations as furnished
to the white people. These have smoking
apartments partitioned off so that smokers can
be to themselves. great many coiored people
patronize this road and there was much PAD
feeling among them when the law was first
passed. but they have quietly accepted the
situation and seem to be satisfied. Inc con-
ductors of these trains tell me that thus far
they have not experienced the least trouble
under the new arrangement
Mr.. James o. Brian, who lives near this place,
owns an old duck that he thinks a record
breaker in the egg producing line. She. COM
menced laying early last spring and kept it up
a day. He sold some of the eggs and Matched
40 ducklings from the Others and he will keep
a number of these hoping that they will follow
their mothers example. He thinks the old
duck real treasure and would not part with
her for anything. This is not simply ''duck
story" The truth of it can be easily estab
lished.
