The people of the small but prosper

the unanimous vote of Dumping Town
by generous aud whimsical gift. Two
days and night were consumed In
building big dumping, which was
made of apples and flour and which
weighed ia pounds. one pound for
each vote cast at Dumping Town
This monster of dumping was put
in a sack supported by a tripod and
lowered into an immense iron kettle.
II required two days and a night to
cook 1t properly Then II was lifted
out and placed in specially made
bowl cut from the trunk of an enor-

placed III dumplings OF the usual size.
A band of music and fifty wagons were
sent TO Dumping Town, and in these
wagons were taken to Scotland Neck

There was great cheering when they
arrived at Scotland Neck, and the
guests cheered themselves when they

A MIGHTY PREACHER.
John Ross Wa. strong of Arm and
Good Fisher.

John Ross was Scotch minister
who iourished In the early part of the
Seventeenth century. Tales of his won
derful deeds are told to this day in his
former parish of Blair. At one time
the reverend gentleman walked to
Mause, a distance of about three miles,
for the purpose OF seeing certain
farmer and II possible inducing him to
come to church, where he had never
been. He found him fishing in the riv.
or and asked TO be allowed to have u
cast. ~ never lend my rod to any
body" said the farmer. But" replied
Ne minister, Il have come all the way
expressly to see you, and I must have
cast" The farmer, who was a very
strong man and had never been beaten
In n fist fight, offered to fight for it.
IAN right" said the minister. and he
gave the farmer such a mauling that
he was glad to give up his rod. But 1t
was different Kind of fishing that the
minister had come for. He asked the
farmer to keep the rod and conduct
him TO his house at AInuse. When they
arrived the minister said, "Now, you
go on your knees and pray" telling
him that he would not leave till he did
so.
So the farmer fell on his knees and
cried. "0h, Lord, deliver me from this
man" Stop" said the minister. THAT
is very good. l hope you may always
be able TO do as well. Now, you have
to promise to come to the kirk next
