The old school building lm? heei
1 >rn down and the new one no
put op \ el. The trustees had ar
ranged for a school room in th
village Imt some of tho patron
thought the house was too nea
the railroad and too much nois
and hustle in the city for the po
pils to study. The trustees eon
aidered the matter, and have se
cured a house and moved th
school out in the suburbs on Mr
E W Nishet's plaee.
Two of Van Wyck's chatn.pioi
shots, Messrs. .1 M Nisbet ntx
Henry Clyburn, dr., had a tes
trial in birdshooting last Monday
Mr. T \Y IMyler aetcd as umpire
lih'v spent tlx* day in hunting
and did some tine shooting am
each did so well that Mr. Plylei
con-i iers the 1 rial ahout a tie ? Mi
Nishet claims one ahead. Tho>
will hare a second trial in tlx
near future.
Van Wyck has had severa
socialites and parties in whicl
some of our young people, hav<
liroken the record, for at least f
few \cars, and "tripped tlx

delimit, and amusement to thosi
who looked on and thought o:

Rot. Ij II Query, Colporteur
for the Presbyterian Synod, spent
scveial days in our community
and preached nn able sermon at
lieulah church last evening
Rev. .1 I Spinks filled the
pulpit at Van Wyck church Sunday
morning and preachad an interesting
sermon on the text, "It
is finished" to an Attentive and
appreciative congregation. Our
people are very well pleased with
Pro. Spinks and we bespeak h
pood work for him on Vun Wyck
. charge.
Mr. W ,! Crenshaw is not only
a pood constat) e, hot a proud
father of a tine boy, and chain
pion rabbnpc grower of this section.
We saw a specimen of ln<
J cabbage a few davs apo, that will
I rival the famous Buncombe cab
d bape of Western North Carolina.

, products of our favored Southland
We do not need to depend or
North Carolina mountain cabbapi
for Winter use, but do as Mr
r, Crenshaw, prow them.

J communication. There was :i po
n tition gotten up to have Mr. .1 /
Ilvatt appointed postmaster a

* i sign it. Now, Mr. Voder wouh
' ' have the public believe that w
* made a big effort to get signers t<

our petition, but we did not. \N i
r never ^ent our petition any when
1 for signers except to one or tw<
' houses, while Mr. Voder liud thrc<
' I petitions carried from house t<
i '
house by one white man and twi
' colored men. A train, ho wouh
1 have the public believe that Iv
had all of the best white patron:

! that he did not draw up his owi
1 petition, for lie worded it, one o
* the two.)
\\ e did not want the office fo
what money was in it. Wo onlj
^ wanted the office conducted on
1 better plan, and, 1 will say, w
' <;ot it. You don't see tlm inai
box looked over now by any one
' except .1 M Voder and his assis
s tant.
f
Again, Mr \ odor would havi
you believe that about a do/.ei
signatures was all that wo had.
think we had twenty-five signer
: to our petition, and if we hai
' wanted the office or had contend
o<i ior 11, wo lia I live us good wliih
nioti us was on Mr Voder's* peti
lion who were going to sign our
- one of them a man of proper!v
ns it would m'oiii that Mr Yode
Miinks :i man's signature wort!
i nothing unless he has wealth. NS'<
admit that we are poor men Ini
| several men, w hose names won
on our petition, own their own
homes.
As for intelligence, our sjd
j has as much of that as his.
j As to our petition being ens
upon t ho tender mercies of th
j future and perhaps being watchei
' with anxiety by those interested
| ^ J
, I * v i 11 say, that I think Mr Yodo
'I is watching us no re than we ar
i him.
In conclusion, ! have nothinj
against any man who signed .1 N
Voder's petition, hut as he wn
tirst to write up his side, I thinl
our side ought to ho shown up t<
