They have been In town several days getting their bearings aud finding out the names of those farmers who are finan cially good. It is stated that they pro pose to sell farmers dry goods , clothing , groceries , drugs , in fact anything that may bo wanted. THE Nr.ws does not know what house they represent nor whether it is reliable or not , but it does know that us a general proposition it is bad business for farmers or anyone else to patronize strangers who liave no interest in the community and who may never be heard of again after they have finished the canvass. If it is n part of the plan of thef o gentlemen to tnko notes or duo bills for goods which are ordered , then the less you have to do with them the better. TUB NEWS is not in position to say that the goods would not be delivered according to agreement , but suppose they are not , then what are you going to do about it ? By the time the goods arrive the notes will in all probability hnve pnpsed into the hands of a third party , nnd the maker will have them to pay , whether the goods are satisfactory or oven if they are not delivered at all. Signing yonr name to a paper of any kind , whether it bear the appearance of a note , due bill or simple order , when the paper is to be given into the hands of a stranger , is dangerous , and the less one does of it the better ho will bo off.

[ From Thursday's Dally. ] The seniors enjoyed another luncheon Tuesday afternoon. The seniors1 heads and the sopho mores' feet are considered the biggest part of the high school. There was no teacher's meeting last week , out the school managed to exist regardless of the omission. "The high heel frequently fens the appearance of a meeting place for the organization of a woman's club.1' The chemistry class is now analyzing , which is considered by the members the most interesting part of their chemistry work. The seniors ore offended when asked to study. They have outgrown auch silliness , which is deemed the inherit- ence of the lower classmen. The clock is acquiring [ poll parrot or phonographic tendencies and keeps tire lessly and monotonously repeating the admonition , "Bequiet , be quiet. " A Grewsomo Find !

Tournament Will be on July 21 , 22 and 23. t EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE NAM ED. Firemen are Proceeding With Pro llmlnnrlcs nnd Expect to Begin Advertising at Once Fund not Quito Complete. N- Il-'rom Thursilny's Dully. ) At the meeting of the Norfolk fire de partment hold at the city hull last night , it was decided to ohango the dates of the state firemen's tournament , which is to bo hold in this city , to July21 , ! > iiand2i ! , which will bring it on Tuesday , Wednesday nnd Thursday. The old dates were n month earlier in the senson , but it was considered that the objection ! ) to thorn were 'good and the ohango was made accordingly There WHH a good attendance at the mooting and the firomeu were enthusi astically for making the coming event one of the most successful aud enter taining over given in tl o history of the association. The tournament rules provide that racing teams shall bo notified of the tournament DO days in advance of the meet and under the original dates it wou'd bo impossible to give them such notification , It in considered that the now dates will cscapo the rainy season and that the event is quite likely to bo favored with dry tracks and weather that will invite the attendance of good crowds. There will bo n lull In the rush of farm work at that tluio and it is considered that there will be n better olnuice for the attendance of farmers and their families on tlio new dates than nt the time first set. Neither will the dates conflict with thoseof fairs aud race meetings. An executive committee of three was uauiod to have clmrgo of the tourna ment. They wore Chief 0. E. Hartford , R. II. Reynolds and S. R. McFarland. Afterwards the committee was in creased to ten members , tlio original committee adding the seven now mem bers. The following-named were ad ded : W L Kern , II. W. Winter , M. O. Burnett , II. A. Pasowulk , M. .1. Romig , Venus Nenow nnd E. R. Hayes.- The couimitto organized by electing O. E. Hartford ns chairman , S. R. McFarlaud , secretary , and H. W > Win ter treasurer. A committee on printing wns named nnd it is expected that the work of ad vertising the advent will bo at once nn- dertaken. The printing committee con sists of 0. E. Hartford , M. J. Romig , R. H. Reynolds , II. A. Paeewalk and Venus Nenow. The executive committee expects to delegate a share of the work to at least 12 sub-committees , which will bo made up of members of the department. The chairman nnd secretary will at once notify the chairman and secretary of the board of control of the change of dates , and the secretary promises to in sert a page advertisement of the vent in the book of proceedings of the state association , soon to be published. The executive committee has ap pointed Sunday afternoon for a meeting to further advance the preliminary work of the tournament. The regular meeting of the department will be held on Wednesday night of next week and other preliminary details of the work will be attended to at that time. The soliciting'committee reports that it is still short ome dollars of the amount they set out to raise for the event and they hope for subscriptions that -will bring the funds on hand np to the amount required to make the event first class in'every detail. Norfolk is to be congratulated on se curing this state -event , one of the most important events of its character dur ing-each year , and it is anticipated that there will be largo numbers of people attracted here.and the firemen expect to prepare a program that will provide a continuous good time during the entire three days of the tournament. This with the other business and amuse ment -events scheduled to take place in Norfolk this summer is certain to give the city a lively and interesting season. [ From ITuesday'B Dally. ] President O. E. Hartford has received letters from the chairman and secretary of the board of control of the state vol unteer firemen's association , and both ex press themselves favorable to holding the coming tournament in Norfolk , so that this city has been practically de cided on as the location for the event. There are , however , some objections to the date chosen and a meeting of the department has been called for tomorrow evening to consider the objections. JOno , and the principal objection is that the time is too short to give the running teams an opportunity to organize , prac tice and register and it is fcarod that if the tournament is held on the dates first named there would not be as many teams registered for the races as though the event was held later in the season. Besides , the latter part of June is a busy time for farmers , nnd as many of that class of people could not attend the event ns though it was given later in the year. It is likewise believed by .one of the officers that the chances for dry and settled weather would also be bettor if the tournament was held dur ing the latter part of July. It is to consider these matters that a special meeting of the department has been called for tomorrow night. Those who have subscribed to the fund for the entertainment of the tournament nro invited to meet with the department and if they have objections to the change of date , make them known , and it will bo the aim of the department to make the date at a time that will bo the most generally satisfactory. The subscription list IB still lacking dollars of ( ho amount the coni mlttcu sot out to raUo and It is hoped ( hut this di'lletuncy will bo promptly mot when the list in ngaln presented for HlgimturoH. The committed has already duvotud 11 largo amount of tinui to thin matter nnd will ho compoUnd to glvo much moro time buforo the tournament IH nn accomplished SUCCCRH. The ini'in- bors doing the HolloitliiK have no further interest in the event thiinj any other buslucsB men nnd their work iihould bo mndo IIH easy IIH possible. They uro cheerfully giving their tlmo for what they bolluvo to bo the good of the town and grantor burdens should not bo thrust upon them than they can manage - ago , It will bo n fine event for tint town beyond n doubt , nnd the commit tee mid the department are entitled to the thanks of the people for limiting the tournament a possibility for Norfolk.
