the extent of $4,000 at
tracted the attention of people
who passed the First National

Mr.. w. S. Tomlinson, who
recently completed his work as

and sewer extension work of the
town, left Tuesday for Norfolk,
Va, to accept a position with an

tanned quite d number of friends
at her home on Fourth street
Monday evening in honor of
Misses Jennie and Fannie Nc
Lauchlin, of Fayetteville, who
are guests at the home of brand
Mrs. N. A. Thompson. Refresh

great treat to all whose privilege
it was to be present.
The account given in Mon.
days paper of the trial about {
horse trade before Justice A. E.
White was incorrect in some
particulars. 1t was written as
told to a representative of the
paper by man who heard the
trial. 1t seems that Mr., Eugene
Nye did not sell the mule to Mr..
Marshall S!ngletary but swappeC
the mule for a horse. Each
traded on his own judgment anC
Mr.. Nye says that he made nj
representations in regard to the
mule and that the horse he go
in the deal is also a tall kicker
And Mr.. Singletary is said to b.
an older and more experinceC
man than Mr.. Nye.
While on their way to Lum
berton Monday Messrs. w. F
and Emory Willoughby and tn
formers son Paul, who live nea

name for that particularly venc
nous snake. Paul, who is
crack shot, shot the first on
through the head and Mr.. Emor
Willoughby shot the other. TIL
second snake was found i
bushes near the road after
had bitten Mr.. Willoughby's dos
1t was a mighty sick dog whe
they left Lumberton and it ha
perhaps seen it's finish befol
this. Three Of the same kind {
snakes have been killed on tt
streets of Lumberton within tt
past ten days.

Joe jacob, the genial and who'll
Bouled Wilmington travelling ma
came in yesterday from Lumbe
ton. He brought from his o
friend, Mr.. Luther Caldwell,
Lumberton, a very fine specimC
Of a wild boar's tusk, eight inch
curved length and perhaps ;
inch in circumference. Mr.. J
cobb was kind enough to prese
the tusk to the Stars museul
Mr.. jacob failed to state whet
er or not the tusk was from t
Robson county "santer" viii
disturbed the equanimity of c.
tain sections Of that country 7
long ago, but it is presumed tt
the ivory is indeed from that a
NAL and that he and Mr.. Caldw
were the slayers.
