S. N. Bunch of the old Center

ty teams, taking out the balance of
three car loads or 10000 pounds
of Commercial fertilizer. Mr.. Bunch
says S. M. Edge did not tell it big
enough for there were over a hum
dred wagons here Monday to haul
out fertilizer, the famous Tupelo,
Miss, make. Mr.. Bunch has lately
delivered two cars at Warrens Bluff
and light car at Huron.
Misses Gertrude Barry and Mary
LaWler entertained a number of
schoolmates and a few other friends
on last Saturday evening. A con-
test was one of the attractions of
the evening and the prize, a hand
painted picture, the handiwork of
Miss Ruth Barry, was won by Mr..
Gordon Turner. Light refreshments
were served and the young lady
hostesses did not fail in any way to
make the evening one to be remem-
bered with genuine pleasure.
Sheriff j. F. Martin and family
spent last Sunday at Hinsons
Springs, with the Sheriffs parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. j. C. Martin, that date
being the I'D anniversary of the
Sheriffs excellent mother. Mrs.
Martin has been and is yet for her
years, wonderful woman. With a
head full Of sense, a heart full of
sympathy and a body endowed
with indomitable energy, she has
filled great place in her world in
spite Of partial disability from pa
ralysis from twenty-six years and
here's hoping from the PRoGREss and
all its force that she may live many
more useful years.
Mrs. J. D. Undertake, at her
country home last Friday evening
entertained the High School gradu-
ating class, the High School teach
ers and a few guests, at six o'clock
dinner, individually and in courses.
The evening was spent most pleas
antly, Miss Faye Houston winning
musical contest lady's prize, and
Mr.. Gordon Turner the gentlemans
prize, each pair of hand-worked
linen handkerchiefs. Each guest
present was given a card on which
they were to make, in rhyme, a
Wish for Alice" the daughter Of the
hostess, who is one of the gradual
ing class. Many Of the wishes were
unique and all had the ring Of sim
certify. The event will be remem-
bered as one Of especial pleasure.
A party Of Lexington business
and professional men composed of
Judge 7. A. Lancaster, Postmaster
S. M. Barnett, Cotton Buyer L. T.
Fielder, Mayor C. C. Davis, former
C. C. Sweat, Merchant W. H. Mont
gomery and Editor W. V. Barry and
N. G. agent W. R. Holland, went to
Jackson Wednesday evening to at
tend a conference between Nash
vile, Chattanooga & St. Louis Rail
way officials and representatives Of
the larger towns on the N. G. be-
tween Hollow Rock Junction and
Memphis relative to the proposed or
much desired change Of the Mem
phis-Atlanta Special to the NC,
which now runs from Memphis to
Nashville over the L. & N. via Nc
Kenzie. We are modestly Of the
opinion that the NC ought to run
its own train on its own track and
hope the change will be made. kThe
Jackson conference resulted in as
surance from Vice-President H. F.
Smith that he would report confer
ference to management and recon-
mend relief asked.
