Lexington Dispatch. March 10th.
Davidson egg dealers can hardly
touch the record established by 6
$. Williams of Haywood county
who hauled 772 dozen eggs tt
Asheville one day last week. ane
hauled 722 dozen the week before
last. The papers up there tall
like he got these eggs from his OWL
farm.
Wednesday Lexington and most
of the state witnessed most pecu
liar disturbance of the elements
There was violent electrical dis
play, it grew dark, rain poured
down, and in many places snow
and hail fell. The wind also was
unusually high. People were
frightened. Later it grew decld-
edly colder. Immediately all the
champions of the ground hog be-
gan cheering for their favorite, in
the face of the fact that since the
End of last February he has not
backed up his reputation with as
much as q week of winter weather.
Who said he is a liar? They cried,
boastfully, throwing back their
shoulders and gazing around with
arrogant eyeballs. Shucks! The
ground hog would be convicted III
q court of justice for being an i'm
poster quicker'n than you could
snap your fingers, taking the evil
dence since the second of last
month until now. He ought to be
president of the Anannias Club
How come all the peach blossoms
and green shoots and the voice of
the turtle in the land, if we had
been in the midst of the celebra-
ted six weeks of winter which fol-
. low (?) the ground hogs seeing of
his shadow on the End day Of Feb
ruary?
Millions of robins are in evil
dence in the country now and
many are being killed. While the
robin is esteemed as meat, yet it is
q valuable friend of the fa1ulel,
destroying pestiferous insects and
worms, and is altogether harmless.
No farmer should allow these birds
to be killed on his farm.
Saturday night Mrs, Chas. D.
McIver, of Greensboro, addressed
q large audience in the courthouse
on the betterment of schools. She
talked for over an hour on the
subject and said many things that
struck home, among them she
noted that there were too many
children assigned to a single
teacher in the Lexington school,
and said that there ought to be q
law against placing more than 25
under one teachers care. She
scored the town for not improving
the school grounds, saying they
should be turfed and walks laid
Az a matter of fact the red mud
surrounding the graded school
building is disgrace. Mrs. Nc
liver also raped parents for pay
ing 30 little attention to the
schooling of their children. She
said that if man had a hog on
on the edge of town, or colt, he
would visit it at least once a
month, yet parents rarely visit
the schools to see how their own
ch. llren are being trained.
I.lTThere are a great many very
good reasons why parents do not
ard should not habitually visit
schools.]

was burned recently, swore out a

with burning the barn The case
was to have been heard before JUS

postponed until yesterday after
noon, when it was heard by Justice
King. Mr.. and Mrs Caldwell allege
that Brookshire has made threats
against them and they are much
afraid of him. They seem to fear
that he will burn their dwelling
or do them bodily harm and Mrs.
Caldwell becomes almost hysteri-
cal at times. At the trial yester-
day she was in a pitiable state of
mind. After hearing much evil
dence and argument by attorneys
Squire King decided that Mr..
Caldwell had little ground on
which to demand a peace bond
ard he dismissed the case. The
