Zig Fishing Party.

Messrs. "A. j. Pollard, w. r.
Lyon, w. A. Beck, Geo. O'Kelly
and Ed. Perry, Of Durham, join
ed on the way by Messrs. D. B.
Nichols, DR.. r. E. Nichols, J. C.
Nichols, S. M. Suit, Lee Riggs
and Ed. Aiken went down to
Boyce's mill on a fishing picnic.
The wagon, loaded within,
chicken, ham and all things good
to eat, seines etc., was driven by
two colored men.
The party arrived at the river
about IL o'clock. and after re-
freshments were served by the
two colored men who know how
to serve those things that will
cause one to say "Oh! I've eaten
too much," the party started
into the water with seine. and
soon the big cat fish, round fish
and eels were being brought out.
Messrs. Beck and O'Kelly, two
of the jolliest fellows in the
world. were the directors of the
SEEMING expedition and they
seemed to know the ways of
fish and we soon had enough to
start John to cleaning and cook
ing and by 6 o'clock supper was
ready and it was a sight to see
Will Beck, Geo. O'Kelly, and
Dock Nichols eat fish. DR..
Nichols, poor thing. whose
stomach is in such condition that
these good things to eat lay too
heavy on his stomach sat by and
said: Go it boys, if you get
sick I'll cure you," for which we
all felt thankful.
After all had eaten as much as
they could, then all took part in
a general conversation = and
every thing was discussed from
Taft down to Constable for Oak
Grove Township" About 12:00
or loo o'clock quilts were spread
under the nice shade of the trees
and in Is minutes Will Beck and
Dock Nichols had the old hooting
owls beat two to one. The wills.
tie of the Bull factory in Durham
is not in it when these two jolly
fellows get to sleep and get to
snoring. DR.. Nichols and Geo.
0'Kelly moved their pallet out
and got under a buggy, thinking
if these two snorers should shake
the earth the buggy would moi
hurt them if it should fall. Next
morning by 700 o'clock, "Johr
and Vess" the names of the tw,
solored men had breakfast ready
AT that table was the best boiled
ham, fried ham, chicken ant
eggs that was.ever set beforemal
The coffee was also good ane
strong. VIII Beck knows how
to make good coffee.
After breakfast was over Mr.
A. J. Pollard brought out a DO;
of cigars that was not manufac
tured by no ordinary factory
To a man not used to the fines
cigars this was indeed a treat
When Dock Nichols and lie,
Riggs put one in their moutl
they held on to it with boil
thands to keep from just devouc
ing the things at once. IL on
had passed along about that tim,
he would have thought that som,
one had started a saw mill dowi
there, judging from the amour
of smoke.
The next thing was shootin.
at the spot. Mr.. Pollard brough
out two or three fine rifles an,
for sometime it was close shoot
ing among that crowd of joll,
men, but after the 18th roun,
Mr.. Pollard won the right to b,
called the champion shooter
Mrs. A. J. Pollard, Misses Lid
and Luke Nichols came ant
with hook and line they with Mr.
Pollard started for the water

POLLY OF THE CIRCUS"

From all accounts a most interest
ing and very successful play will be
Frederic Thompson's s big New York
success, "Polly of the Circus" which
will be presented at the Grand, to-
morrow matinee and night.
One of the big features of "Polly
of the Circus are the circus scenes
which are shown in the last act. The
first shows the "Pad' room, a place
where the acrobats Timber up before
entering the ring. The second scene
shows the interior of the circus where
for two minutes the "real thing' is
presented in order to give Polly
chance to rush into the ring and
faint. Horses are galloping around
the ring-a regulation circus ring in
every particular. The tumblers and
acrobats and clowns are all working
as if their lives depended on their
efforts, the trained dogs and animals
are all IN the picture-and only for
CNO minutes II ScculS Il great ucdI
of trouble to take for one short stage
picture, yet it is said to be the most
realistic scene ever produced on a
stage. The third scene is the one
that shows the Frederic Thompson
touch and atmosphere, and which was
a sensation in New York City last sea
son, having played at the Liberty
theatre over one year. In this scene
circus leaving the "lot" after the
performance at night is shown. Mr.
Thompson has provided cast of well
known players assisted by fifteen real
curcus performers of reputation. Ida
st. Leon will be seen in the title char
acter in which from all accounts she
has quite outdone her predecessors in
the role

Do farmers eat the proper
sort of food?

The farmer of today buys much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's good thing that this is so because
he has great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount of Quaker
Scotch Oats eaten is due very largely
to the recent demonstrations by scien-
tifc men that the Quaker Scotch Oats
fed man is the man with greatest
physical endurance and greatest men,
tai vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Scotch Oats
eaten by themselves, their children
and the farm hands.
Packed in regular packages, and in
herm metically sealed tins for hot
climates. 81

Treatment for Lump Jaw.

Lump jaw is due to fungus which
is usually taken into the animals sys-
tenn in feed consumed. Lump jaw is
liable to affect the glands of the
throat or the bones of the head, writes
Doctor David Roberts in American
Cultivator. 1t is not advisable to keep
an animal thus afflicted lingering in
herd. On the other hand it is ad-
visable to either treat such an animal
or kill il, as such animals invite dis.
eases into the herd, owing 10 the fact
that they are so reduced in vitality
that they have no resisting power.
A remarkably large per cent. of such
cases can be successfully treated II
taken in time by opening up the en-.
largement and washing it out with
strong antiseptic solution, like five of
carbolic acid in water, and putting the
animals on a tonic. In this way the
afflicted animal is not only saved, but
the entire herd is protected against
disease.
