longs 10 the Commercial Baos.
Peodiug 6uaI statement the statue
vas ordered by the courts to be deiv

Rome. Accordingly, Mayor Nathan, Of
Rome, went to Milan yesterday, to take
possession OF the s!a,u'. At the Sforss
palace, where the statue Ia KEEP, great
crowd bad collected, the members OF
which refused 10 let him enter the castle
enclO,u.e. When he again attempted,
the crowd threw him into snowbank.
The mob then snowbaled him, in spite
of the efforts OF the police to protect
him.
The mayor finally entered the palace,
where the formal transfer of the statue
was to take place. The mayor OF Milan
and prominent ctizsus, as we'll as the
representatives. of the Commercial Bank,
protested against The delivery of the
statue. The room where it wBs kept

sheriff, who accompanied Nathan as the
representative of the court, ordered the
lock broken, but no mechanic could be
found to do it. As result, the pro.
ceedirg, were adjourned. Nathan ga.
hisssd aud snowbslled again as he left
the castle.
Ls.er the CT urt ordered that The tatue

Creamery Notes.

The following patrons Of the
creamery led in butter production
during the month of April; c. }.
LeSturgeon 2O2 pounds, Joe Wilkes
176 pounds. R. G. Garnett, Sunny
Side. l41 pounds. Howard & Har-
rison 12S pounds.
OF the $500 pounds of butter-ta'
received, 1900 came from the north
side of the AppomattOx. More but
ter was produced on that side of the
river than the entire amount
brought to the creamery any month
last summer.
At the present rate of production
MAY will show over $500 pounds.
New shipments will soon begin
from Sunny Side and Cumberland
Courthouse, which will add at least
so COWS to those already enrolled.
The cream route on the river
road started this week.

Just cne acre OF lettuce this season
and has up to the time Of this wri-
ting sold to the amount o: $1,000,
and our informant added, hopes TO
realize $500 in addition. We are
not advised as to the cost Of produc-
ton but are satisfied that the pro-
fit is a record-breaker. OF course
this is an exceptional case, but what
this ex-Confederate veteran has done
others may do. Learn the lick from
the leader, and then bend to the
work as he has done. and at cutting
time stand up to receive like returns

Whit Sunday.

Last Sunday was recognized in
many churches as Whit Sunday, so
called because of the white garments
worn by the priests and those who
were baptized on that day, the White
Sunday being written Whit Sunday.
With the Jews it is pentecOst. the
fiftieth day after Easter, the time
for the offering of the first fruits
and as they believe in remembrance
of the day upon which the law was
given from Mt. Sinai.
