evening at Pisgah church. before a

was good from beginning to end and
reflects great credit on the teachers

Misses Pearl Hatfield and Ila Baker,
and among the smaller ones, Bell
Cole, Bertha Capell. and Clifford
Hatfield, did remarkably well. Nelly

ley did finely. The training Of the
children for this occasion was not
done at the expense Of their lessons,
but after regular recitations. Miss
Hussey has proven herself to be 3
teacher true and tried and the pa
irons Of her school greatly appreciate
her as a teacher and friend. Dur
ing her stay here she has won the
love and respect Of this entire sec
tion by her upright Christian life.
The exercises at Pisgah church
yesterday were very interesting and
impressive. The church was crowd
ed and many could not get in. The
pastor spoke on Sunday schools. Rev.

manhood and his numerous friends
say it was the best speech they ever

of the Year.

The big livery barn which has been
in course CT erection on North Main
street during the past several weeks
is nearing completion and is to be
occupied by the latter part of the
week.
Brit Davis of Kettle Mills, will have
charge of the livery and feed depart,
ment, while the pens will be con
trolled by R. F. Moore & Son, the
mule dealers and R. L. Hayes. @
This is perhaps the largest individ-
ual barn in the county, having sur-
ficient dimensions in the mule pens
to take charge of $50 to 800 mules
The brick work on the front of the
barn is being finished up and the
work will be completed within a very
short time. It is centrally located
and will doubtless prove a popular
place for the farmers and mule deal
erS OF the county and town.
There have been but few mules
sold in the county this fall on &C
count of the low prices, farmers pre-
fering to hold rather than sell at fig
ures they considered Improbable.
Good fat cotton mules are reported
scarce in the west and local dealers
are of the opinion that if the farmers
here will but put their mules on good
feed and get them good and fat in
stead of putting them on the market
at once, that by the first of the year
there will be better prices than now
prevail.
In accordance with this view the
spectators and dealers are expect
ing but few mules on the market
