HEROIC EFFORTS BY
HOYLE SAVE BARN

Heroic and almost superhuman
efforts of A. H. Hoyle saved a barn
of tobacco from burning at the Hoyle
farm Friday about noon, it was
learned here today.
During the fire, Mr.. Hoyle was
burned about both hands and arms.
In some manner, the barn became
ignited on the outside, and, with
the use of water, the blaze was about
conquered when the barn was dis
covered burning on the inside Mr..
Hoyle climbed into the barn, jerked
down sticks of tobacco, smothering
out the flames, saving his barn and
tobacco. About 30 sticks of tobacco
were burned
The fire not only threatened the
barn and its contents, but about Is
cords of wood nearby.

Controlling Wilt in Tomato Plants

The so-called Granville wilt, caus-
ed by the same organism that willis
tobacco, and a fusarial or fungus
wilt are the two most responsible
for whiting tomatoes. If the tomatoes
are affected with the fusarial wilt,
the Marglove variety should be
planted, since it is highly resistant.
All varieties seem to be equally sus-
ceptible to Granville wilt In both
cases, rotation in which weeds are
kept from the field is recommend
ed. Corn, grains, beans, cotton, and
sweet potatoes may be planted in
the rotation. A four or five-year
rotation should be followed.

PANToAIME IS DELIGHTFUL FEATURE SATURDAY DANCE AT HIELO'S

Saturday night 's dance at Hie1e's road- Ihou SC was we'll attended. The three-reel pant omime, Mot By Dam Site" which was Egiven at lo:3o o'clock under the direc- ltion of Mrs. Paul Williams, was vastly ap- preciated. It was funny beyond words to ldesc Mrs. Williams read the scenario {. while the actors acted it with gusto that provoked loud laughter and loud ap- ip1ause.
 Moose Pass' digni fled schoolteacher, Harry L. Smith, in the character of Simon lsweet bankrupt owner of the mi Il that was mot by dan site, staged death scene, lthe horrible throes or throws of which lwi II haunt Moose Pass dreams for years to lco one. Mrs. Roy Iuckie s Foot sic Sweet, his charming daughter, out-fazendaed Louise lFazenda by at least 1900 miles. Mrs. Jake Laub scher, Simon's wife, with ispecs perched on the end of her nose and wearing an a1l's wrong with the world ex- lore ssi on, got a laugh out of the audience Ithat could have been heard at Lawing ,When she produced tire pump somepin' and Istuck it in Simon's mouth to take his tenn lperature. Albert Wi llians was the cruel, hard hearted Caesar Penny, villain of the sketch, wearing a longhorn mu stache a Ia Simon Le- !. gree, bent on foreclosing his mortBage on Ithe mill or else . the else being the hand lof the fair Foot sic Sweet. Lyman Graves Percival Penn, one Of fthe ese ere-now-writers, produced huge bank roll (probably as much to his own sur Ipri SC as everybodys e1se)a and paid the vil- lain off and took over Foot sic. The ending of the pant omime was too,too sad since it involved the demise of the beloved schoolt eacher and provided for khat nice Albert Williams being shot to Ideath in the seat of the pants.

BY FRANK r. WOOD, Jr.

Last week marked a new epoch
in programs for Negro youth In oug
city, produced by the combined eff
forts Of two of our Negro churches,
/ am speaking Of the newly organ
ized Boy Scout troop, which parti-
cipated in the Boy Scout Circus
last Friday and Saturday evenings.
Your troop not only participated,
but had member TO win two nights
straight in the wood chopping
event. Just to say win does not
mean much, but when you consider
that our Troop was competing
against nearly dozen other troops,
does say something. The Commits
sioners, Scout Master and his as
sistant should be highly congratu-
lated on the fine work they are do
ing with our youth. Last week
marked the first time that Negro
troop has ever participated in q
s9EouL 1IiGus Ill LIE sSIdWAiSS 1ptA
Gil, which comprises over IL coun-
ties.
The appalling fact was: we saw
so few Of our people out to see the
boys perform. II we do not show
more interest in our own, soon that
which they may have for themselves
will lag.
To Our Graduates
To Negro 1889 graduates Of the
two high schools, let me offer you
congratulations on having reached
your first round Of the ladder to
success. In few days you will
leave the halls Of your Alma Mater,
to seek your fame and fortune. You
will reluctantly leave old friends,
whom you have spent many happy
hours TO think that you will part,
and perhaps never more see each
other. Some will have memories Of
| the pleasant days together, others
will soon forget.
