Sept, beginning at 10 a. m, ut old
French Broad church. Everybody cor

of dilapidation we, as Baptists, are en-
deavoring to build a new church. We
want to thank Bro. Lee Hefner for his
liberal contribution, as he has given us
a place On Which to build, south of the

Dear Sir: Two and two make fozr-not

are.
Two gallons Of water and TWO gallons of

Neither does four gallons Of paint that's
Lalf lime, whiting, clay aud kerosene oil,

That's what we mean by saying "Fewer
gallons; wears longer" It takes fewer gal.

until $50 o clock, and for more than
three hours there was pretty con-
slant dropping of ballots, there be-
ing TIT cast before closing time.
The causes leading to the large
vote for the bonds may be set down
to the Unborn desire of every good
citizen to give the rising generation
the best possible opportunities for
education to the diligent hustling
of some of our heavy taxpayers and
others to get out a full vote and to
explain the necessity for issuing the
bonds; and last but not least, to
the overwhelming appeal of our own
school children, almost every one of
whom was an insistent juvenile adj
vocate for a new school building.
It was the children S cause and
they had to win.
Good citizenship and good policy
now demand cheerful acquiesence
in the undisputable will of the ma
jority, and on the part of the latter
putting away of all grudges or
retaliatory feelings toward the mi
nority. Let us have peace.

WIN OUT TWO TO ONE
The Majority for School Bonds Much
Larger Than Was Expected
on Either Side.
The People Finally Get Together in Good
HumOr and the Dove of Peace
Settles Down.

493 votes for bonds, 234 against
bonds. When the people take time
and interest enough on a ques-
ton of public policy, the people
generally decide about right. Some
undue prejudice and heat developed
during the late school bond can
vass, but now that it is happily and
decisively settled, it is found that
the differences arose as much
through misunderstanding as from
prejudice. The mass of the citizens
want good schools and are willing
to make sacrifices to get them.
The presence of a large number
of ladies at the polls last Monday
afternoon may have had something
to do with the good behavior of the
big crowd there assembled. At the
hour of 2 o'clock, when President
King called the meeting to order,
the court room was not more than
half filed. President King of the
board of education read the call for
the meeting and asked for the NOM
ination of a moderator. Fl. A.
Baldwin was named, and elected
by hearty reclamation, after which
the chair was instructed to appoint
three tellers, and voting proceeded

manner. The meeting at the out

grounds, after the citizens OF the
town had putin contributions every
year for Improvements in track and
buildings, as well as for attractions
to make the fair success. Secre-
tary Dornberg contended that the
officers who had put in their time
for weeks every year since the
grounds were purchased, were en-
tiuled to draw out the value of their
stock at the end of the twenty years
for which the society was incor-
porated.
The antis conceded that the three
heaviest stockholders had done the
largest part of the work for the
various fairs of the society, but
contended that they had bought
out the shares of stockholders re
moving from the county at a mere
fraction of what they expected to
get out of it, and that the fair
grounds, having been improved
and kept up by the subscriptions
of the citizens of the town, were in
a sense public property. The chair
ruled that each share of stock was
entitled to vote on the resolution to
sell, and ballot being had, the
resolution passed with a large num-
Der of votes to spare.
While the sale of the fair grounds
is anything but satisfactory to the
business men of the city. it by nc
means follows that the county fair
association is to be disbanded. AL.
ready plans for reorganization are
being discussed, and it is probable
that arrangements will be consul
mated for either leasing the old
grounds of the society or purchas.

FLYING SNAKE IN VIRGINIA.
Reptile with Wings, That Fed on
Birds, Is Killed in King
George.

Comorn, Va-A most remarkable and
uncommon flying snake" that was cap
tured and killed at Berry plain" the
home of John S. Dickinson, in this
county, few days ago, has attracted
wide attention.
The curious reptile was first noticed
flying about in the air, presenting the
appearance of an ordinary snake at
tached to strange looking bird.
AS far as is known, it never once
descended to the earth and crawled on
the ground after the manner of snakes,
but it would occasionally alight in
trees and catch such birds as best suit
ed it's fancy.
1t was finally killed and proved to
be five feet long and about one inch in
diameter Of body. 1t had wings of
good size, covered with feathers.
Berry plain," where the curious
thing made its advent and met its un-
timely end, is one of the finest planta-
tons in King George, being situated
On the banks of the Rappahannock. 1t
is conjectured by some that the ely
ing snake" may have come from an
impenetrable marsh of the river or
some neighboring creek.
But this theory is not accepted by
many, for, as far as can be learned
nothing bearing similarity to this
serpent was ever before seen or heard
of anywhere in this section of the
country,

Out of the 81 counties whose census
has been compiled but two show, a
larger number of women than men.
These are Floyd and Des Moines. What
women have seen in either county to in
duce them to bestow their presence

hard, cold and sometimes brutal census
cards. But the disproportion is not at

census-taking bureau has marveled
greatly at these figures.

parity, and that in the cities the women
outnumber the men. Thus it appears

TEETH OF DOGS PULLED.
Valuable CANNES of Pennsylvania
Town Lose Ivories in Mys-
terious Manner.

delphia.-Following the poison
ing of several valuable dogs in Ardmore
recently comes the discovery that some
unknown culprit had been going about
pulling the teeth of blooded CANNES.
What object anyone could possibly have
in pulling dogs teeth or for what purr
pose they are wanted are questions that
threaten to give residents brain fatigue.
The most plasuible reason suggested SO
far is that some father whose child has
suffered from the fangs of a dog, or some.
man who has himself been bitten, is
acting as canine tooth extractor out of
revenge.
The first dog to fall victim to the
tooth puller was a white poodle, valued
at $100, owned by resident of South
Ardmore. The dog, aside from it's value
and beauty, was master of many clever
tricks, some of which were performed
with the aid of it's mouth and teeth.
One day the dog, which had been
away from home during the morning
appeared at the back door of the Moylan
cottage whining piteously. A servant
who opened the door noticed that there
was something strange about the dog,
and that it did not appear as lively as
usual.
Thinking that it was suffering from
the heat, the servant let the canine go
unnoticed until after lunch. Then a
bone was thrown to the dog, and in
stead Of catching it in it's teeth and scam
pering off, as it usually did, the animal
walked up to where the bone lay,
gave few shifts, and ran off whi--ilg.
In the evening the owner was Informed
of the strange actions of the dog, and
upon making an Investigation he dis
covered that every tooth had disap-
Eeared from the animals mouth
The belief that some strange disease
had stricken the canine and caused the
teeth to fall out kept the dogs owner
rom making his discovery known to
his neighbors. He decided, however. to
seek the advice 6 g; veterinary physi-
2.an, when he found that there were
ether dogs that were minus their teeth,
having lost them as mysteriously as had
his own
1t was discovered through the visit OF
friend that three other valuable and
biooded dogs had fallen victims OF the
tooth puller. The dogs were owned by
residents of South Ardmore. The dogs
were collies, and every tooth had been
PULLED.
Many residents believe that a dental
student is responsible for the pulling CT
he dogs teeth, but the owners Of the
CANNES are not satisfied at this e.
;?!anat.ol, and believe that tlc,cra lie
a deep mystery around the strange case

CHANGES BRIDES TO SUIT.
Widow of 80, Failing Groom, He Pro-
poses to Damsel Of 1S and
Couple Is Married.

Baltimore, Md.-Mrs. Ida Gosnell, a
widow of 38, was to have married
John c. Dorer, nine years her junior,
and arrangements had been perfected
for a wedding at the home of Mr.. Oler,
a mutual friend.
The guests attended, and, with the
minister, awaited the coming of the
bridal pair. Mr.. Dorer was on time,
but the bride-to-be did not come.
Messengers dispatched to her house
came back with the information that
the widow had changed her mind.
Those present were not to be cheat
ed in this way. The refreshments
had arrived, and it was decided to go
on with the reception.
So they did, when Mr.. Dorer de-
cided to marry Miss Higgins, and
proposed before the company dis
persed. He was accepted.
This settled, it was up to Mr.. Dorer
to secure another license. Taking the
one he had, he waited at the door of
the courthouse until the clerk arrived.
He wanted the names changed, but
this could not be done, so he got an
other.
Mr.. Dorer and Miss Higgins went
to the parsonage of the Starr Method
ist church and were married by the
pastor, Rev. G.. w. Haddaway. Mr..
Oler acted as best man, and Miss Alice
Cassell was bridesmaid.
Upon returning to the home of Mr..
Oler the wedding party entered upon
| another reception.
Mrs. Dorer is only 18 years of age,
and the bridegroom says he is very
well satisfied with tho chanpe

High Jumping Hog.

A jumping hog afforded much amuse-
ment in the hog yards at the Kansas
City stock yards the other morning.
Although the animal weighed 1SO
pounds, it would jump board fences
five feet high. The speculator who
bought the hog found it impossible to
confne it to pen, so the pen had to
be covered with boards. According to
men who have been at the hog yards
for years this was the first hog that
had ever leaped fence there.
