Little Phil Crawford had a bad cut
last week, which put one hand out of
service (and mischief) for several
days. He was standing near the grind
rock, where the faithful old darky,
Alex Bryan, was grinding his axe, and
in mischievous way reached for the
axe and his finger coming in contact
with the edge of it split his finger
from the end down to the first joint.
The blood flowed freely, but he did not
seem to mind it very much, though it
was bad cut.
Sunday School Convention.
The Sunday School convention
which convened at Ebenezer Church
last Saturday was attended by a large
crowd, and the work showed much
progress along that line. The address
by Rev. J. H. Frizelle, of Goldsboro,
was one of the most enjoyable fea-
lures, every one who heard it saying
it was as fine as they had ever heard.
His style is captivating, and mingled
with a proper amount of humor, held
out. Dinner was served on the ground
and no one left there the least bit
hungry, from the looks of the amount
of good things which constituted the
spread. The Afternoon was devoted to
the election of new officers for the
convention, and it adjourned to meet
at Spring Hill next year. The new Of
ficers are, Mr.. Cyrus Johnson, presi-
dent; Mr.. George w. Hooks, secre-
tary; Miss Sallie Grantham, musical
directors.
