siderable interest is manifested by
farmers in the coming corn show In

December 3, under the auspices of
the Rose Hill Grange. Many prizes
have been donated by business men
of Wilmington and much rivalry ex-
lists among the corn growers. The five
unit will be used and the five best
ears Of corn will be awarded the prize.
The prizes will be given in various
classes and It is likely there will be
corn shelling contest. Levy Court /
Commissioner Martin p. Smith IS
chairman of the committee in charge |
of the show.
"rhat man Smith is a wonder at /
corn sheiling," said a granger, in ]
speaking of the chairman, "and they |
will have to keep their eye on that
seventh degree granger, for he surely
will be hustling after that prize"
Several prominent grangers
throughout the county are expected to
be present and deliver addresses. A
pleasing program of vocal and in
strumental music will be arranged for
the occasion
