A Team Organized.
The boys of this place have
organized a ball team of home
material and have commenced
to practice some. They propose
to challenge and play the similar
teams of the neighboring towns,
beginning with White Plains, we
believe, to-morrow.
I.lco Plentiful.
There is considerable com¬
plaint of lice on cotton. Mr. T.
O. Gunn reports that when the
lice are found on the stalk
they seem to cause the cot¬
ton to stop growing, We
do not look for this pest to
materially injure the crop to any
great extent if we have plenty of
warm weather.
A Fortune Lost.
There have been bushels and
bushels of blackberries gone to
waste in this part of the country.
If they had been picked and can¬
ned the product would be as val¬
uable as a gold mine. There are
many such things allowed to rot
within our midst for want of a
small canning factory. These
little leaks drop a great deal of
money for us in the course of a
few years.
Filied 830.00.
Our town council held a special
session Tuesday morning and
had up two colored belligerents
of the feminine gender. Sarah
Chester had been pounding one
women named Liza Holden and
the evidence was such that Sa¬
rah was fined $20 or 40 days’
work on the streets. She paid
her fine, but was taught a lesson
that our city fathers propose to
keep order within their limits.
One of the Latest.
Rev. Green, a colored Baptist
preacher, was giving entertain¬
ments here this week and among
his new selections of songs he
used the, folio win g; % v
Lord is this Heavau?
Xord, Lord, I’ve done got home at last.
Set down, Elder, set down!
Lord, Lord God, I can’t set down.
This is Heavan!
I done got home at last?
Mama, is you got to glory at last?
Lord, Lord God, I can’t set down.
To Advertise Our Section.
The people of Crawfordville
and this section are being urged
to get up an exhibit of products
for sending to the North and
East and to the fairs of that sec¬
tion, through the Southern Inter
State Immigration and Industri al
Association of Pinebluff, N. C.
Cash spent in the way of adver¬
tising matter and special editions
of the county papers describing
our advantages would bring in
good returns.
Early Melons.
Sam Gunn, one of our prosper
ous yo.ung farmers, who lives
down to-wards Barnett, reported
the first ripe watermelon of the
season in this county last Satur¬
day. This is quite early. C. J.
Park, of Greene carried his first
a 20 pounder, to the Greenesboro
Herald-Journal last week, and
the Sparta Ishmaelite says that a

The excursion to Atlanta Mon¬
day was the best ydt run by
Gapts. Tuggle & Hollingsworth.
The biggest trouble on board
was the scarcity of cars and that
was because the crowd was
much larger than the manage¬
ment expected. About 800 peo¬
ple were carried into Atlanta,
and it was the most orderly
crowd we ever saw to be jammed
up like it was. This is account¬
ed for by the fact that the train
made good time going and com¬
ing. There was very little drink¬
ing and the colored and whites
cars were separated by a bag¬
gage car. It was a well manag¬
ed excursion.

A Hun for Life.
Sir Thomas Akins comes to
the front with a lizzard-snake
story that takes the dilapidated
linen oft" the bush. He says he
saw t,y snake catch a rusty-lizzard
a few days ago and prepare to
swallow him. During this pro
cess of preparation for swallow¬
ing the lizzard, the bones of the
little innocent reptile were crack¬
ed load enough for the spectators
to hear them. The snake had
swallowed the lizzard up to its
fore tegs and as the snake saw
the spectators it stopped to
“lick" out it's warning tongue.
At luis pause the lizzard saw a
ch;u ce for escape and broke out
of tl e snakes mouth and'out-run
the speed of a bicycle down hill,
unti' lie was safe in the woods a
couple of hundred yards away.
Then the snake was killed for
being so stupid.
