down in Lisbon township for a quar-
ter OF a century and he has devoted
much time to the raising of cattle,
and his neighbors knew that he had
something good to put on the block.
They went there to buy the COWS
and the bidding as a result was quite
spirited. Mr.. Kern has given his at
tention to raising grade cattle, and
when they were brought into the
ring it was surprising what a fine ap-
pearance they presented, one farmer
saying that they looked just as good
as any thoroughbreds he ever saw.
There were 20 of these COWS in the
bunch and they sold all the way from
s35 to SO each, John M. Erion buy
ing the topnotcher at $40, and Mr..
Erion knows the points of a good
animal. The 90 COWS brought $937.-
70, but that is not to be compared
with what % of Mr.. Kern's COWS
produced in the past year-for they
yielded $1,304 in butter.
1t is said by parties who have
been attending sales in the past five
years in this section that they were
the best bunch of COWS they ever
saw put up in that time. Mr.. Kern's
sale amounted in all to about 49,
900. The auctioneering was done
by Messrs. White & Myles.

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS
A Comparison of the Transfers Made
During January for the Past
Four Years.

In connection with the list of real
estate transfers published here it is
interesting to note the amount of
transfers made during the month
of January for the last four years.
January, 1906 starts off with "A
transfers, January, 1907 has one less
making 43, and January 1908, just
three months after the panic of
1907 still holds to the old record of
43. January of the present year
shows a marked increase in the num-
Der of real estate sales, some 50
transfers being recorded. Business
along this line has been unusually
brisk this year with the probability
that it will continue. Most of the
transfers have been made to residents.

Washington Birthday Dinner.

Washington Birthday Dinner.
Monday evening Miss Jessie Wal
rath entertained a number Of her
lady and gentlemen friends at a
Washington birthday dinner, which
was served at z o'clock. Plates were
laid for twelve. The decorations
were unique and very pretty, the
table having the appearance of an
army camp with the napkins folded
in the shape of a tent and with a
small flag .surmounting each. The
place cards bore a picture Of Wash
ington, cut from. two cent stamps,
and bearing a motto of the illustri-
Gus parsonage. The national colors
in floral decorations were secured
through red tulips and white and
blue hyacinths, all of which formed
a very pattractive picture. At the
conclusion Of the dinner the guests
went to the Mitchell Club rooms and
attended the closing dancing party
of the club, and then returned to the
Walrath home. The affair was "a
very delightful one and the guests
extended their heartiest expressions
Of gratitude to Miss Walrath for the
charming. evening.

FOR GEORGES BIRTHDAY
Twentieth Century Club Made a De-
parturc From the Regular Pro-
gram Monday Afternoon.

Inasmuch as George Washington's
birthday fell on the same day that
the Twentieth Century Club met, the
ladies conceived the idea of making
their meeting as recognition of the
birthday of the father of our country.
A. Bobb on Sanborn street and Fifth
Avenue west, each member bringing
with them a basket containing viands
of a delicious character. The guests
We're met at the door by Lady Wash
ington, decked out in appropriate
finery, and who was impersonated
very nicely by Lucille Bobb.
The work of the afternoon was i'm
mediately taken up and gone through
with, the ladies were ushered into
the dining room, where a charming
sight met their gaze, and was decor
ated most appropriately. In the CEN
ter of the table stood a cut glass
bowl of marguerites, and on the
mantle was a large vase filled with
daffodils. The place cards at each
plate were made of tiny little hatch
cts, OF white II gold, to represent
the colors of the club, but the little
instrument as used for a souvenir
should not be taken to indicate that
~veracity of the club membership was
at all brought into question, nor is
there anything of incompatibility in
the situation of using the hatchets
on this occasion. Dainty white paper
caps, bordered with gold and con-
tanning a picture of Washington was
also at each plate. These were pro-
vided by Mrs. Windle and we're worn
by the ladies during the feast.
! AT the head of the table was seated
the president, Mrs. r. E. Ruth, and
the secretary. Mrs. Brown. Our presi-
dent is famous for her c~onundrums,
and asked the members what famous
ride Washington took. They guessed
everything that was recorded of
Washington's exploits in travelling,
but the president only shook her
head as answer after answer was Civ
en-, She relieved us of the spens
by smilingly Informing us that it was
when he took Il hack at the cherry
tree" The refreshments were nicely
served and partaken of with a relish.
A social hour followed and when the
ladies departed it was with the I'M
animous verdict that the social after
noon was a decided success, and that
much of it was due to the home and
the pleasant hostess. Mrs. R. A. How
ard, Of Mason City, Iowa. a cousin of

A SHORT Walk But
A Big SAVING

ronage of legitimate sport is voiced
by others who have been in touch
with the situation.
There is nothing left for the
true sportsman" said Secretary
Nichols, "and by the true sportsman
do not mean the gambler, but one
who enters into sport purely on it's
merits and the enjoyment of same.
1t is not only our driving park that
is affected, but all lines Of sports
and amusements. Take the athletic
association of the University, where
the sport is good, high class and
clean. There have been but one or
two years that it has paid out. The
high school association is in much
the same condition and at the end of
the season the association finds 1t
necessary to appeal to the good peo-
pie for assistance to get out of debt.
Then there is the tennis tourna-
ments which have been attempted.
and which resulted with the finan-
cial end of it being placed upon a
few who had the sport at heart. It
is a fact that in nearly every case,

ment that in attempting to get the

the people something that they evil

the amount OF money a few of us
expended a few years g trying to
maintain a baseball team? We we're
trimmed up to a fare ye WE'LL"
Ask the committee back Of the Nav
Festivals what they think of public
support of amusements. There

no one to take part in It. II you have

cur1t1eS has been tentatively ten
dered to the legislature through let
tiers, to the effect that a half million
is to be had to be divided among
the different educational institutions
of the state, and to the state fund
itself if suit will be brought to col
lect.
While the cash from the North
Carolina bond was received by the
state some time in 1903, and was
placed in a special university fund,
no legislature has ever appropriate
ed the money to any institution di-
rect.
In the session of 1907 Senator Dill
lon began his fight to return the
money to North Carolina. His bill
went to the appropriation commit
tee of the senate, which reported I'M
animously against it, and the fight
was on, in which he lost. Being
again elected to the present session,
he has started the fight all over
again, and to prevent it again going
to the appropriation committee he re-
quested that it be committed to the
senate as a committee of the whole
for discussion, and it took two days
of the session to clear the record"
during which there were several
warm passages, Dillon, Bates and
Seward supporting the cas- and
Curtis and Byrne opposing it. The
senate committee by a vote of 26 to
II voted to report that the bill pass.
The question was then raised that
it is a bill to appropriate money out
of the state treasury, and requires a
two-thirds vote, or a total of thirty
to get it through the senate. This po-
sition is opposed by the hackers of
the bill who held that it Is a refund
and not an appropriation and only
required a majority, and the bill was
sent to the judiciary committee for
an opinion, and on that opinion &C
tion will be taken.
Senator Dillon said in his argu-
ment in favor of the bill that in his
| opinion the only way for the state
to get back to a clean record was to
refund the money. In the course of
the argument in the senate II the Dill
Ion bill it was charged that a num-
