Most of the ;ni 118 in this secton are stopped on account of nolcen dauis. Mr. Boan's fish lam melted away in the rain. We see more candidates anlounced in The Advertiser. That will help make the days deasanter with all the hands to hake. There are four Magistrate andidates from thiss ection, and fe hear that Mr. J. E. Williams s going to try to get Mr. II. A loan to come out yet. That fill give us five, but we think lr. Boan is doing very well at his nb. We don't doubt Mr. Boan eing as well qualified as any f the rest of us, but he is dome ery well on the farm. There is going to be a Children's )ay at Bethesdia July 31st. iverybody is cordially invited ) come with well-filled baskets f something good to eat. Mr. Robert P.

Miss Klizabeth Jordon and Mr. I [arian Boan visited the latter's i arents Saturday and Sunday. I hoy report great damage in the I ash section by the wind and i lin. i Messrs.

They have expended a hearty invitation to all candidates and their friends to visit their community on August ldth, not only promising tc listen to all the speeches that the aforesaid candidates can make but promise also to set before them all the Rood things the? ?an possibly eat. This will undoubtedly be a big day, for the roputatiou of the good people of this community is known far and wide. There will be no limit to the good things to eat and the candidates will see to it that there is no dearth of good speeches. The letter received by Judge M? J. Hough, conveying: information concerning this proposed political festival was signed by Messrs. O. O. Horton, W. L. Jordon and B, 8. Kunderburk.

Mr. Davis was a highly respec, ted citizen, having served in an ; oilicial capacity in this bank since its organization about six years ago. Later investigation has shown that all his financial all airs are in first class condition. His relations with the bank are said to have been above reproach. There is no known motive for his rash act other than failing health. It is believed that this nas lor tne past year caused mm considerable worry. Some ten days previous Mr. Davis had borrowed a shot gun from Dr. R. L. McManus, saying that he wished to shoot birds He started out with the gun last Thursday declaring that he was going to the woods to shoot birds, but on being told that it was too wet, teturned. On Friday morning he arose early and went out with the gun. Two hours later a gunshot was heard but as it was diflicult to locate, it was soon forgotten until a little girl playing about the building ran out raying that some one was in the building lying down. The investigation which followed revealed the fact that a terrible tragedy had been enacted. The coroner's inquest, conducted by Magistrate M. 8.Watson, found that the deceased had come to his death from gunshot wounds self-inllicted. Funeral services were conducted at the Methodist church Sunday morning, interrment taking place iiiimediatly afterward at the Chesterfield Cemetery. A Brass Band For Chesterfield The movement referred to some time ago in these columns to organize a brass band for Chesterfield has not died nor gone into summer quarters but is moving right along with the best of prospects for a full realization of its laudable aim. Though the movement, we believe, was originated by two of ?ur local -ecret orders, this a free-for-all proposition. It will not be directed nor guided by the orders mentioned as such. 'J'he W. O. Wa. and the .Juniors tarted the funds by a contribution of $f>0 each and an a dditimal have been subscribed by individuals. The contribution box is still open. There is a cordial invitation to every young man in and near town who can play a musical instrument or who would like to icarn to get on 1 he band wagon by applying to Mr. VV. li. Ilun ycutt. It is the intention of those fathering this movement to raise sullicient funds at once to buy instruments,but members will be allowed to furnish and own their instruments Now let every musically inclined young man within roach of Chesterfield come forth and join the band. The age limit, we understand is indefinitely fixed somewhere between l."> and 100 years, though younger or >lder people will be admitted on mbmitting evidence of sullicieut musical ability. lie sure to attend the concert given by the children of the Oxford Or plumage at courthouse, bViday night. .July 28th at 8:110. t he program contains a pleasing variety of pieces. The cause the Vhi'.dren represent is indeed a vorthy one. Admission: Adults, '2j cents; cliildren 15 cents; reserved seats. 35^nts. Wanted?500 Hens and 1000 Fryers and Broilers. Best prices paid. J.
