bail in the case of Jim Clark, the
young negro charged with the murder
of his cousin, Charlotte Clark, in Flat
Creek township, recently. Bail was
granted in the sum of $4,000, which
was given and the defendant released.
Mr.. w. A. Lingle, one of the
prosperous young farmers of the Creek
section, had a successful corn shucking
at his home last Saturday. The pile
was estimated at about 500 bushels.
Mr.. Lingle had only one hired hand
from the first of June until crops were
laid by. He has 1,200 pounds of nice
hogs fattenng in the pen, and says he
is going to eat hog and hominy and
live at home. The experience OF
the boys who were recently fined 500
each for gambling should serve as
useful lesson to them as well as
warning to others who may be patrons
of the gaming table. Nothing will

and bumper prices for all other farm
produce the farmers generally are, or
should be. in happy frame OF MIND.

Yesterday. We trust we are not
bloOd-thirsty. but it's refreshing to
know that another murderer is to
pay the death penalty in this county.
Since the county has been formed
there have been about thirty killings
and so far only one criminal has paid
the penalty with his life. Our jurors
are becoming sterner and few more

the First Baptist church was startled
Sunday night by the announcement
by Dr. A. NJ. Simms the beloved pas

he does go away 1t has been known
for some time that DR.. Simms is in
declining health and that he has been
contemplating retiring from the min

tion is accepted he will go to Raleigh,
n c.. his old home, and spend the
remainder of his life with his children,
relatives and old friends.
