Lexington Dispatch, July 4th.

Lexington Dispatch, July 4th
In-the judicial convention Mon
day, while a committee was out
hunting the nominee, Judge II .
T. Phillips was called to the floor.
He responded and expressed his
earnest desire to touch shoulders
with the Democrats of the dis
trict III the election of the ticket.
In the past it might nave been
thought, he said, that he selfshly
desired only his own election, but
such was not the case. At the
polls he always thought of his op-
ponent and voted for himself, not
through seltiishness at all, but be-
cause he was particular about
whom he voted for. He always
cast his ballot for the hest man of
the two. which remarks called
forth considerable laughter.
It was incorrectly stated last
week that the annual Reunion of
Confederate Veterans would be
held on the third Thursday in Au-
gust. The correct date is the
first Thursday, August the 2nd.
1t is just little over three weeks
off. Everything that Lexington
can do to homer and to entertain
the old heroes will be done. Let
us have record breaking crowd
this time. The entire population
is invited Hon. Theo. F. Kluttz,
of Salisbury, has been secured as
speaker for the occasion, and it is
hoped that an exceptionally pleas
ant day will be spent by the veter-
ans and their friends.
Rev. J. T. Reddick, of Rich
mond, Va, has been called by
the Baptist congregation here and
will very likely accept. The call
was made last Wednesday night,
but it is net known yet what de-
cision Mr.. Reddick will make.
He visited Lexington some time
ago and delivered two sermons
that pleased the Baptist people
very much. Mr.. Reddick served
as pastor of the Spnrgeon Me-
mortal Baptist church in Norfolk,
for five years, and has been as
sistant pastor at the First Bap-
tist in Richmond for the past two
years.
A COW that gives four and one
half gallops of milk per day,
from which eleven pounds of but
ter are made per week, is a very
fine cow. H. W. Leonard, of
Route 3, Tyro township, tells us
he has such COW. Size is of the
Guernsey stock and is five years
old. The butter, at twenty-five
cents, in a week focts up $2.75,
and at the same rate, III year,
this COW would bring 70 its own
er $143. Our people would find
it profitable to pay more atten-
tion to good stock.
Last Friday the remains cf two
children of A. A. Springs, nov
of Washington, N. c., were NOV
ed from the burial ground at Ad-
| vance to the cemetery here. The
deaths of these children occurred
22 and 80 years ago, one of them
being a mere infant and the other
child of four years at their de-
mise. Nothing was found in the
graves but portions of the coffins,
some bits of cloth and dust.
