 Captain Bond, as manager of the ball nine and the rifle men arranged with the local managers for ball games Friday, Sunday and Monday, and for the rifle match Saturday. and then saw to it that his men spent the intervening time in prac- tice.

 Sunday, the day of the second match. was characterized by raw weather, not at all conducive to fast baseball work. A fair-sized crowd was present, most of whom were roofing for the soldiers, whom they wished to see win.

Says Nobody But a Married Man Need

Youth Will Be Served in the May
American Magazine, makes one of his
characters give another the follow
ing advice about thinning hair and a
hair restorer:
"A man gets to an age when it be-
gins 40 thin, and there's little he can
do to stop it. l think myself that a
man of your complexion looks better
when his forehead comes out in front

Smiths Mango Cure will do as much
as anything to hold it; there's moth

use of bachelor trying any hair re-
storer, because it's got to be rubbed
in. A married man can count on
that; his wife will do it for him. But
a lone man will stick to it about three
nights and then drop the whole prop
osition. Better keep your scalp clean
and leave it be-

Mcdowell were bathing in the hole
known as Boylan's Rock. The little
fellow was wading in shallow water
when he accidentally stepped off in
TO deeper water. His cries for help
drew his companions to his aid and
they worked nobly and manfully try
Ing to rescue the little fellow. His
brother caught him by the arm and
tried repeatedly to draw him from
the water, but being fatigued and
frightened his efforts were fruitless,
and the boy was drowned.

Cused.
Greensboro, n. c., June 5.-An un-
usual occurrence took place in United
States District Court when two men
from Davie County were called for
trial on the charge of blockading and
concealing blockade liquor. The
men were Bob Williams and SAINT
Spray, and when their names were
called the District Attorney with ply
sicians' certificate in hand, announced
that Williams was in extremis from
the ravages of tuberculosis and that
SAINT had gone mad and was now an
inmate of the insane asylum at Nor
canton. Upon this record of the in
tervention of higher power, Judge
Boyd ordered that the cases be mark
ed acquitted" and the two men are
now free from the courts of this land
at least.
