new BUILDINGS
FOR COUNTY
FAIR ASSURED
Gratifying Results Shown
In Canvass BY Com
mercial Club

The final meeting of the COM
mittee appointed by President J.
II. Brooks of the Commercial club
to solicit subscriptions for the new
stock in the Caledonia Fair Ground
company was held Monday after
noon and the reports made by the
different solicitors were very graf
flying. To meet the offer Of Hon.
Elmer A. Darling of $1,000 it was
necessary to raise $4,000 more and
it is evident that this amc ant is in
sight and that it will be possible to
erect the new buildings that the
directors contemplated.
The blue ribbon goes to Charles
E. Kirk who sold Sd shares of
stock and is still doing it for all we
know. w. c. Heath of Danvillc
would also get a ribbon if there
were any more for his success in
placing stock among the people in
Danvillc. Considerable stock was
also sold in other parts of the
county.
The plan for placing the y Fair
Ground company on their feet was
successfully carried out by the
Commercial club which is only
another instance Of the usefulness
in this community Of this civic
body.
President Harry H. Carr, who is
still in Illinois, has large plans for
the fair the last week in August
and with the new buildings and the
interest evoked by the splendid res
ponse for subscriptions for the new
stock, the 1922 fair ought to be the
biggest and best.

SAYS COULD NOT

ON $4,000 FARM
Lively Suit Over Farm
Sale Being Heard In
Orleans Co. Court

Orleans County court reconVen-
ed Tuesday morning after ad-
iourning over Sunday and Monday.
The case called yesterday morning
is one of alleged misrcurcscnta-
ton in regard to the sale If a
farm and is by A. T. Petry VS..
Archclas Blais and Trustee of
Holland. The case is expected to
occupy several days of the court S
time, and several witnesses will be
brought forward on both sides.
Petry is represented by w. H.
Cleary and +. A. Cook of Orleans,
and the defendant BlaiS, by f. c.
Williams and Frank d. Thompson
of Barton. The jury chosen for
this trial are f. A. Amsden, Frank
Andrews, A. +, Daggctt, W. A.
Elliott, r. NJ. Gilmour, George W.
Gray, H. II. Green, F. T. Murphy
f. Z. Rash, c. H. Root, George W.
Russell and Clinton A. Wood.
A. T. Petry sold his farm in
Holland in 1920 to Mr.. and Mrs,
Archelas Blais of st. Hubert, Que,
the sale being made through the
agency of a Mr.. Duhamcl, u real
estate dealer and notary Of Rock
Island. The price of the farm stock
and tools was $4,000 on which
Blais made cash payment of
$4,000 and gave mortgage for
the remaining $4,000 which was
to be met by annual payments of
notes. Petry has now sued for the
nonpaymcnt of the said notes and
has forccloscd the mortgage. Mr..
Blais defense is that Petrie mis-
represented the value of the farm,
both as to the number of acres,
the amount of stock, amount of
hay, and the condition of the Su-
gar and other tools, that the land
is unproductive and that he can
barely make living on the place.
This farm was bought by Pctric
in 1912 for $500.
Mrs. Archelas BlaiS vas the
most important witness called in
the forenoon, and was examined
again in the afternoon by f. A.
Cook attorney for the plaintiff.
Mrs. Blais is a French Canadian
and does not sHeak English, Ern-
est Lamothe acting as interpreter.
In spite of this handicaD she made
an excellent witness, gesturing
with her hands at times to
make her meaning clear. She
is the mother of twelve children,
nine boys and three girls. and is of
a strong and energetic type. Mrs.
Blais testified to the written agree
ment shown in court as being the
original agreement after they had
talked of buving. though this was
not d formal contract. They then

THE FOLKS MISS THE Y. M. G. A,

In the loss of her Y. M. G. A.
equipment in fire the town of Will
son suffered a severe loss. The bus
mess men of the town who did not
have time to go into the country for
a bit Of recreation could steal little
while from their work and run up
to the gym for a little exercise
under the direction of Mr.. West.
These business men are missing the
Y. M. c. A. sadly. Driving work at
desk all day long needs some let
up such as an hours lively exercise,
and too many men drive SO hard that
they have no time to take more than
one precious hour two or three
times each week.
Then the boys of the town are
missing the Y. M. C. A. Their phys
ical being misses the jolly hours of
gymnasium work, and their spiritual
being misses the good influence that
was theirs from contact with the Y.
M. C. A. The Associations quarters
was the home Of the Boy Scouts,
and everybody knows how much the
Boy Scouts mean to the community.
Oh, we just can't get along with

THE "TRAMP" DAY is OVER.

The unemployment situation is
acute People are out of work all
over the country, and North Caro-
lima is no exception to the circum-
stance. Reports show that there are
vast numbers in this State who are
out of work, and who may suffer if
they do not secure work soon.
An interesting thing we have OBJ
served in connection with the unem-
ployment situation is that there are
very few ''tramps'' to be seen in COM
parison with the hordes that used to
infest the country. There are very
few who go from door 20 door and
ask for bread. There used to be num-
bers of these hoboes, they used to
work in parties. The needy of today
are a proud needy, who would not
beg from door to door. They may
take their needs to charitable organ
izations, and probably the existence
of these organizations are a partial
cause of decrease in the
throngs of "hoboes.''
reason Probably there is more pride
among folks. Anyhow we know there
is a decrease in the number of
tramps abroad in the land.
We remember that years ago at
least once a week there was some
ragged individual waiting at our
back door to beg something to eat.
Our mother would never turn one
of these .'tramps' away hungry.
Sometimes after the man had been
given lunch he would rejoin party
of comrades while another member
solicited food from our next door
neighbor. sTramping" was their pro-
fession. We remember very distinct
1y a certain pleasant afternoon
when we were small that we were
sitting on the back steps at home
munching big piece of fresh ginger
bread. The sunshine was warm upon
us and we sat quietly meditating and
munching and having an altogether
comfortable time, when we were
greatly startled to observe stall
wart young man OF unkempt appear
ance regarding us hungri1y. please
ma M, he wanted something to eat.
He was young and strong and cap
able looking. We were quite small,
but even our childish mind could
grasp the incongruity of this big man
begging his bread. +.
There is a great deal of unemploy-i
ment In the land but you don't see
big young men begging their bread
any more.

them.
At any rate, it isn't for the news
paper man to object to the confer
ence, for they make just one more
"story" for him to cover. He has a
great time writing up the delegates
before they depart, and then he en-
joys the thrill Of packing his own
little typewriter and going along.
And he has the world anxiously wait
ing for the news that trickles from
the conference through his type
writer to the readers of the world.
However, as we said in the first place
it would seem that this is a day of
conferences.

used for His glory, and we lift our
selves up against him, whenever
we take our time, our thought, our
talents and use them for self. The
sin of the rich fool in the parable
was not that he built larger barns to
harvest his large crop, but that these
things were not dedicated to God

so MANY CONFERENCES

1t would seem that in this day and
time the world is full of conferences
and consultations between the ma
tions of the earth over first one all
ment and then another that afdict
the world. Hardly can you pick UP
a paper but you will read of one set
of delegates or another which is COM
ing or going to some conference.
In the last few weeks we had the
big armament conference at Wash
ington on our hands and delega-
tions running to and fro from the
lurthermost corners Of the earth.
And the whole world held it's breath
to see what would happen. Also we
read about the important doings at
the meeting Of the Supreme Council
at Cannes. while everybody hung on
the least word from the meeting.
Now the delegates are packing their
trunks and getting ready for the
economic conference at Genoa. Why,
a. delegate hardly has time to get
acquainted with his family, what
with chasing from one conference
to another. Yesterday, we ''saw by
the papers" that representatives
from Chile and Peru were invited to
a conference in Washington in an
