people will iron, equip and operate a standard gauge road to the terminus. The idea of crossing the mountains will probably not be entertained for sometime unless the Carolina and North-Western should fall into the s hands of a great system, which is not i likely. So the present proposition is, " we think, the best that the people in * this part of the country may expect. | The people of Patterson have offered ^ a similar proposition to the railway j company in the past, as far as that I place, and perhaps stand ready to do * their part in the matter now, should that way be selected. The cost of grading the line twenty miles is estimated at $5,000 per mile, and it seems ^ to us this amount could be raised in F subscriptions by the people interested 1 if the proper effort be made. The peo- ^ *" pie of Blowing Rock are Deconnng in- ^ terested in the subject. Postmaster j Edminstin, Messrs. J. B. Clarke, T. H. I Coffey and others being ready to sub- ^ scribe liberally to the project. Rural communities and small towns must do j something to get railway facilities, and those interested, by making the proper effort, can now get this road we feel 9 assured. ^ Port Mill Family Ke-lnlon?. Fort Mill Times, August 13: The 1 seventh annual reunion and picnic of the Culp family was held Thursday in g the beautiful grove adjoining the hos- o pitable country home of Misses Alice c and Bessie White. The attendance at the reunion Thursday was scarcely as a large as that of former years, which b is accounted for by the fact that an- 1 other and like gathering was in pro- 3l gress in this vicinity at the time, p Nevertheless there were about 75 of the v family and connections present, and |3 the occasion was one of much enjoyment. In the forenoon the young people engaged in different kinds of games, swinging, etc., while the older ones sat in groups discussing pleasant r.f +V.Q rvocf and live tnnlrs ^ III^IUCUIO VI WilV t/uuv W??v? -T of the day?candidates being excluded. Dinner was announced promptly at 1.30, and in quality and quantity it ? was one which is seldom excelled. After dinner the young people repaired to one of the spacious rooms of the residence and for a short while indulged n in dancing. Following this a pleasant 6 meeting, with Mr. T. G. Culp chair- ? man, was held in which a number of resolutions for the improvement of fu- n ture reunions were passed. The crowd * then enjoyed a feast of watermelon, p It was decided to hold the next reunion b at the home of Mr. W. J. Stewart on 2! the 1st Thursday in August, 1903. Mu- 0 * sic for the occasion was furnished by b the local string band. The annual G Massey family reunion was held Thursday at the handsome suburban home of Mr. J. M. Spratt. There were present 36 children, grandchildren and one great-grandchild. There were 11 others closely connected with the family, but not direct descendants of the late *, B. H. Massey, whose memory they are J wont to cherish. It was a happy day, for everything was at hand that had a A--J ? muA lenaetiuy lu piumuie uapyiucaa. me dinner was a feast that lasted for nearly two hours, for one good thing followed another in succeeding courses. A feature of the occasion was the presj, ence of five sisters of the Haile side of the family whose ages ranged from 61 to 75 years. Arouna them centered the popular interest of the day. The little children all but suffered for attention on account of it. And when it came to posing for the picture they were given the front seat of the group. The five sisters were Mrs. B. H. Massey, Mrs. S. H. Stephenson, Mrs. Susan Brewer, Mrs. R. H. Mills and Mrs. Kirkpatrick Shannon. They were all once accomplished musicians and it af ioruea mucn pleasure anu aiuuseuieiiL to have each one reluctantly take her _ turn at the piano and endeavor to coax the former nimbleness into fingers that J had attracted a stubbornness from long idleness. But they did it and very *] cleverly too. The Bettlnir In Columbia. Columbia Record, Thursday: There is still considerable betting going on as to the gubernatorial outlook. Three bets, each of $100 even, were made yesv terday that Tillman would not be governor. The bets, as a rule, were made up as pools, a number or men contributing to make up the sum. There was plenty more anti-Tillman money afloat at the same odds, but the three bets referred to were the only ones heard of having any considerable sum involved. Quite a number of small bets were made that Jim Tillman would not be in ^ the second race. The Jim Tillmanites seem much more confident that their hero will get in the second race than they are that he will be governor: nevertheless they decline to offer any odds on it and bets are even on this feature a of the race also. These seem to be 1 practically all the kinds of bets that are made generally, it being conceded that Heyward will be in the second " race. Talbert or Tillman are talked of for second place, and a bet made that Tillman will not be in the second race, as a rule supposes that Talbert will. AT the: churcheh. ?
