usual closing exercises Mrs. R. L. Jones,
Principal of the school, took the entire
school TO 0verton Park, Memphis, for
a picnic, automobiles being provided by
the patrons and friends of the school to

a most pleasant day. and altho rather
inclement one, it was much enjoyed by

j. A. McNubb Esp. while in town
Saturday offered to be one of 100 men
to pay 81 each per month the remain
der of the year to defray expenses of
the County agent the remainder Of
the year. The Falcon editor will be
another and several others have tolds
US they would. What do you say
about it.
What is said to have been the heSv.
lest rains in two years fell in this Sec
ton last week, most of the week being
rainy and bad. The continued heavy
rains and excessive moisture have Put
farming operations far behind in this
county and has made an already gloomy
prospect look worse. The soil has not
been dry enough to work safely a day
in month and very little planting OF
any kind has been done. Many gardens
even, have not yet been gotten in,
while fields crops of all kind are going
to be late in planting. Weather condi.
tons in February were fine, like spring
and since then weather has been bad
for any operation that involved moving
of the, soil.
In the interest of economy he N. c.
& st. l.. Ry. has inaugurated new
plan for operating its local freight
trains. For years the road has operated
local freight each way daily between
Lexington and Memphis. one trainleav
ing each city early in the morning and
running thru to the other city by night
Under the new arrangement local
freight leaves Lexington one morning
and runs to Memphis and next
day leaves Memphis early and
runs to Lexington. This does
away with the services of one
train crew together with other expenses
of operating full train each way per
day. Freight traffic is said to be
mighty light now, making it amply suf-
ficient to have one train alternate days
in each direction.
DR.. Jno. o. Boais left few days ago
for Alexandria, Louisiana, where he
goes to enter the service of the United
State Health Department. DR.. Boals
was recently commissioned Past-As-
sistant Surgeon in the health service
and goes to the far south for his first
assignment. He has been several years
practicing medicine at Whiteville where
he gave up large practice to accept
his new appointment. He is son of
DR.. and Mrs. A. O. Boals Of this city
where he was reared. Mrs. Boals is
here this week with DR.. and Mrs. Boals
and will join her husband soon. This
appointment is choice one in the ser.
vice and DR.. Boals is to be congratulate
ed on being given the place.
The two men arrested in jackson last
week who proved to be two of the most
notorious crooks in the country were in
Somerville just before being arrested
in Jackson. one posing as cripple and
was begging from house to house here,
the other posing as deaf-mute and
begging here. 1t was noted, too, that
they took in carefully the conditions at
the two local banks and the post Of
fee here. 1t is the general opinion
here that they were in this dity for the
purpose of looking things over in order
to plan to blow safe or do other dirty
work, and their arrest in jackson is the
only thing that saved this city being
raj Jed by them.
