FOR A SOLDIER MEMORIAL
Committees to Take Up Matter and
Make it a County Wide Affair.

At the regular meeting of the But
Ter Commercial Club Tuesday even
ing committee from the Wednesday
Coterie was present to present the
matter of erecting some kind of a
fitting memorial to the Bates county
boys who gave up their lives in the
great war. and to those who served
i'll any capacity in the army and
navy. The Coterie committee was
composed of Mrs. ]. E. Williams,
Mrs. Wesley Denton and Mrs. f. NJ.
Campbell. Mrs. Williams acted as
spokesman for the committee, and in
brief but convincing manner told of
the desires of her club and asked for
the cooperation of the Commercial
Club.
1t had been suggested at a recent
meeting OF the Coterie that a public
library building and gymnasium
would probably come nearer being a
useful as well as sentimental ex-
preston of the feelings of the people
toward the soldiers, and this idea was
conveyed in Mrs. Williams remarks.
W. +. Duvall endorsed the idea of
library and gymnasium, but said
that it should be made a countrywide
affair in which all the people could
take part in erecting. The project
to erect memorial, if properly pre-
sented to the people by committees
from different towns and organiza-
tions of the county, would meet with
favor in all quarters.
James A. DeArmond, Jesse E.
C,,,;th \Noc1a, na-to.> ,.,J ~,
present endorsed the idea, and all
said it must be countrywide and not
local.
On motion OF Dr. II. M. Cannon
the president was authorized to ap-
point committee OF three to act in
connection with the Coterie COM
mittee. He named W. F. Duvall, D.
X. Walker and Frank c. Ream as the
committee.
The joint committee will meet III
the near future and formulate plans
for interesting other cluDs and or
ganizations in the project.
The telephone committee made a
verbal report of meeting held by
farmers with the owner of the Butler
Telephone Company Tuesday after
noon, which was followed by a /
lengthy discussion of the telephone
situation. No action was taken, and
the committee was instructed to at
tend another meeting to be held next
Thursday afternoon.
DR.. J. T. Hull, w. Z. Welton and
E. L. Fisk were named as a commit
tee to assist the Grand Army Post in
arrangements for the proper
observance of Memorial Day on Fri
day, May 30.

retire shortly after and dropped back
about 1000 yards south OF Chaudron

fighting had taken place and where
many wounded were lying.
Volunteers to rescue these wound
ed men were called for and Captain
Lusk and two other medical officers
and twelve men undertook the work
which was carried on under heavy
tire from the German lines. Four OF
Captain Lusks men were killed and
several wounded, but the gallant lit
tie band succeeded in gathering up

Bates County Fails to Reach Quota

Although much hard work was
done by the chairman and volunteer
workers of the different townships,
the people of Bates County failed to
subscribe the quota assigned.
The reports are slow coming in
but it is estimated that about four
fifths of the quota assigned to Bates
County will be subscribed. Next
week a full report will be given,
showing the total subscriptions of
each township.
Mount Pleasant, Usage, Deer

the only townships reported as hav-

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY
MINISTER'S

We, the ministers of Laurinburg
wishing to express in some public
manenr the very high regard, affec-
ton and esteem in which we hold
our brother minister, Rev. E. H.
Davis, do hereby present the follow
ing resolutions:
|. That we view his prospective
departure from our midst with deep
regret and with keen sense of loss
to us personally and to the commun-
ity at large.
2. That we are deeply sensible
of his untiring, consecrated Iabors
among all the people irrespective of
UNCONVENTIONAL lines; of his minis
tration in sickness and in health
with unfailing love and sympathy
for Young and old, rich and poor,
especially in that period when sew
eral of our churches were without
a pastor; therefore we feel that he
richly deserves the title of a true
community pastor.
3. That we express to him our
deep appreciation of his kindly
Christian fellowship in brotherly
love and count our association with
him as blessing and an inspiration
to each of us.
4. That we wish him to know
that we admire him for his Christian
fellowship, and we honor him for his
Christian manhood in which so
many and so much of the richest
Christian graces are admirably

Games for Children
at Christmas Time
By A. NEELY HALL
Copyright. by A. Nicely Hall.)

1t may be for Christmas party, or
for the family gathering, that you will
need ideas; for either, the following
games will furnish fun for young and
old alike.
The Game Of Tip.
This old English game requires the
use of enough assorted Christmas can
dies, nuts, raisins, and other dainties,
to make small pile upon table;
also a pair of sugar tongs. One of the
party is chosen, who must retire to an
other room while the remaining play
ers decide upon one of the dainties
In the pile to be known as Zip" The
chosen person is then recalled, and
with the tongs removes pieces from
the pile, trying to avoid the piece
named Tip, of which, however, he does
not know the location. All pieces
removed belong to him, unless he re-
moves Tip, when all must be returned
to the pile, and the turn passes to the
next player, who retires to the other
room while another Tip is named. A
player may pass his turn when, after
drawing several pieces, he wants to

each space, and the players fill in, in
turn, a noun from the cards in their
pile. The nouns will seldom come In
their original places, and the result
will be a ridiculous mix-up.
Sliced Toy Puzzles.
From advertisements cut pictures of
toys. and paste these upon pieces of
cardboard; then with n sharp knife
slice the cardboard into irregular
pieces as indicated in Fig. 1. Place
the parts of each picture In an en-
velope by itself. When ready to play
the game, give each player an envel-
ope, and direct him to put together the
parts so as to make the picture of the

avoid the possibility Of losing them
through drawing Tip. The game
continues until the pile disappears.
A Fili-in Game.
For a laughter producer this game
has no peer. A poem is selected and
copied upon paper, with each noun
omitted and a line drawn Id It's place.
Then the nouns are copied upon small
cards. one upon each. The cards are
dealt an equal humber to each player.

him God-speed in the new field of

Aerostie Place Cards.
An original idea for the place cards
for the Christmas party is to prepare
them In the form Of letters from Santa
Claus, with the names and addresses
Of the guests worked out in acrostics,
as Is suggested on the two specimen
envelopes In the illustration; and have,
the guests find their places by inter-
preting the inscriptions upon the en-
velopes. The first envelope illustrated
reads, Miss Lillian Cook, 41E Adams

the addresses may be harder to make

ORE IN RAILROAD TUNNEL.
Vein Is Now Being Explored About
$50 Feet Below.


The Miner was this week shown
chunk of almost clean chalcopyrite
which is said to have been taken from
vein that was intersected by the
Northern Pacific railroad tunnel near
Borax, Mont. 1T Is claimed that this
sample of copper ore represents 1S
inches of similar ore near the floor of
the Borax tunnel and that the shoot
gradually tapers down to a point in
the roof This tunnel was driven
about 28 years ago and it is singular
that a showing of ore as this did not
attract sufficient capital to explore it
at depth long ago. Unfortunately the
showing can not be seen now, for the
reason that within recent years the
tunnel has been lined with concrete.
The owners of the claims covering
this ore and the railroad tunnel is H.
]. Clemons. He has held the ground
a good many years, has seen the ore
in the tunnel and as an employe of
the railroad company helped to cover
it with concrete. The tunnel Is nigh
up on the mountain side. The east
portal overlooks a tributary Of the St.
Regis and from, that point the track
rounds the point of the mountain and
swings back westerly above the St.
Regis. Far below this track, on the
bank of the St Regis, is Mr.. Glenn
ons' cabin, and not far away is a
spring. His attention was attracted
by copper stains on the rocks over
which the water flowed, and with pick
and shovel he soon disclosed a ledge
which he believes is the same that
contains the ore described in the tuE-
mel ESQ feet above He Is now drifting
on this ledge and believes that within
so feet he will have shipping ore.
