Miss Bonnie Brown went to East Bend Friday, where she will spend a few days with friends. Mrs. Carl Sherrill, of Mt. Ulla, spent last week in this city with her mother, Mrs. Maggie Miller.

S. Cartner, of near Bear Creek church, was in town Saturday and has our thanks for his subscription. Mrs. T. F.

Sanford and childen, of Chattanooga, are spending some time in this city with her father, C. C. Sanford. Mrs. Bruce Craven and little son.

of Trinity, are spending some time in this citv. the guests of her father, M. R. Chaffin. The attention of our readers is called to the big ad of A.

M. Mc Glammery of this city, which appears in today's paper. This company has just opened up a brand new stock of dry goods and notions, and would be pleased to have the people of the county call and examine their big line of goods. Uncle Giles Howard has a small patch of ground in Irish potatoes. He savs that the same ground has been in potatoes for the last forty years, and that the crop this year is the best he has ever raised, which goes to prove that the old saying that the same crop would not do well on the same ground more than one year, is a big mistake.

The Methodist Conference, which convened in this city Wednesday evening of last week, adjourned Saturday evening. The attendance at all the sessionswas good, although many of the delegates could not be here. Dr. Plato Durham, the Presiding Elder of this District, "did most of the preaching, and the people were delighted with his sermons. Sorry we could not attend the meetings, and give a fuller report We will try' to get a report of the Conference for our next issue.

Mocksville has some of the prettiest girls to be found in the United States, and they are not only pretty, but most of them are mighty good cooks, A few days ago we had the pleasure of devouring about four large slices of cake which was baked by one of our fairest young ladies, and better cake we never ate. It was by accident that we managed to enjoy this treat, but we cannot refrain from mentioning the matter, even though the baker find it out. The cake in question was of two varieties, "Silver and Gold," and "Angel Food" or "Devil Cake," we are not sure which, but let the name be what it may, the cake was mighty good, and the only thing wrong a-bout it was that there was not more of it. Should we be bold enough to mention the fair bakers name, we fear that all the cake lovers in the country would decide to venture out on thesea of matrimony, so we refrain from doing so, for we are living in hopes of enjoying another feast of good cake some time in the future.
