Getting Married in North Carolina.

Reidsyille Times.
A couple from Virginia landed in
Milton the other morning to be married
by Squire Lewis. They walked hand
in hand up Main street and took q seat
upon the front step OF the 'Squire's
office, and the man asked for q license.
AS the Squire was preparing to make it
out, the ouxom girl began to inch off,
and h~esitated, and finally said to the
young man in a half whisper:

said the man. and he moved closer up
and set his chin to earnest work. Nov,

"Well, stand up" said the Squire.

But as the ceremony was under way
the girl jerked back, exclaiming: "Ill

The Squire suggested that the license
had been given, and they bad gone most

Matrimonial PREPARATION.

A great many Of rs, says q New York
correspondent are coming back to
town to get married. The firtations OF
July became serious intentions in Au-
gust and matrimonial engagements In
September, with wedding prospective
for October, November, and December.
Having settled the comparatively minor
matter OF choosing a husband, the
fashionable girl now turns her heartfelt
attention to getting herself satisfactorily
dressed for marriage; also to lettering
her person. She desires above all
things to be at least pretty, il not beauti.
ful on that awful occasion, and to &C.
complish that purpose she goes through
all the rejuvenation possible. | met q
girl at Saratoga who told me that she
was trying to fatten herself for bridal.
The attianced husband was an ardent
admirer Of plumpness, and she was
rather lean. The amount of oatmeal
and cream she consumed was marvellous,
and she lolled around all day long, re-
fusing to dance even, for fear OF working
of an ounce OF flesh. A month OF that
kind Of treatment increased her weight
nine pounds, but it didn't improve her
appearance, to my mind, because she
had q fiat, porky look in her face, and
her skin became bad from indigestion.
The wiser system commonly adopted by
afianced wives is a plain, nourishipg
diet, plenty Of exercise, and long, regu-
lar hours OF sleep. These braces her up
in health, and an improved appearance
is the consequence. In addition to
these measures, she does all the artificial
identifying that may be possible in her
particular case. Her mouth Is repaired
BY q dentist, if there is anything that
can be done to her teeth, and it is as
founding what the dentists of the pres
entyday can accomplish in the way OF
whitening and STRENGTHENING. If any OF
the natural teeth be gone, or in such O
condition as to make extraction advis.

ed; and the practice Of making perfect
those not quite 80, either in shape or
color, has become 80 common that the
false can hardly be distinguished from
the real. She goes to a manicure and
pedicure, who fixes up her hands and
feet, shaping and Furnishing the Dails,
removing corns, ana callous spots, and
smoothing the skin with lotions. This
part OF the skin sometimes includes the
removal of hair from the arms and legs,
for most b~runettes are subject 10 too
much hirsute growth. The sensible
girl, however, will omit this, and let her
husband see the defect, if it be one,
while she is a brand-new wife, and not
go to him smooth as alabaster, only to
become hairy after the charm OF novelty
is gone from her. The best thing she
can DO for her complexion is to eschew
paint, and let a physician endeavor to
drive the humors out of her blood.
This should be done long enough be.
fore the wedding, for the publication al
most always temporarily roughens the
skin. Turkish baths are now fashion
able for girls near matrimony, the be-
lief being that they impart a healthy
softness and glow.

PgIIPPr, September l6.
Unisyorshle reports come from the

Nobody who has thought carefully
over the matter has syer been in the
least sanguine that the declarations OF
the Pittsburgh Southern company
would ever assume practical shape. The
county is ready with $4,000 whenever
any boni fde company msnifests the
proper spirit and determination to put
a road through, and it will take smarter
men than those who are at the head Of
the fraudulent Pittsburgh Southern to
humbug the people out Of it. The sug-
gestion Of the REGIsrER. made some
time ago, in substance, that Mr.. Hop
kins had better go 70 work with his

New York syndicate, was very favor.
ably commented on here. Nobody ex-
poets anything from the Pittsburgh
Southern.
The latest railroad development which
promises anything to Barbour and adj
joining counties, is what is known as
the Vanderbilt line, now completed as
far as Brownsville, Pa.
The approaching State fair is attract
ing considerable attention here. Many
persons from this and adjacent counties
will attend, and / doubt not the pro-
ducts of Barbour will make as fair q
showing as that OF the foremost OF her
sisters.

Visit tina Rahools.

The following is from an unknown
exchange, and as it agrees SO we'll Win
our views on the subject, We reproduce
the article:
I, in a fact that our schools are not
visited by the parents as they should be.
II Ia slso true that our schools will never

people manifest so little interest IN

pathy between parents and teachers-a
feeling that their interests are
The teacher works to a great disadvan,
taee when nobody but himself and
superintendent appears to care about
| the welfare of the pupil. 1t is the PRIV
ileee and duty of all patrons OF the
school to know how it is conducted and
10 satisfy themselves that the teacher Is
doing his duty.
These things can be ascertained only
by personal inspection. Too often moth
ing is thought about the welfare OF the
school until the pupils begin to make
exaggerated complaints. As long as they
make no complaints, the presumption ID
that the school is doing well enough.
But such is not always the fact. The
contrary is very often the case. We
know OF schools OF which no complaints
are made, yet the work done in these
schools 10 much inferior to the work
done in other schools from which we
frequently hear complaints. There 10
q trick in every trade, teaching not
excepted. Too many teachers teach
only to please their pupils. This may
do for awhile, but it will not last.
The success OF a school is secured only
by hard study and strict discipline. In
every school there are some indolent
and maynard pupils, who wish to &C.
ouire learning while they indulge in
their own reckless inclInations. When
they find that the work is harder than
they expected or that the discipline ID
too strict for their VI prankish habits,
they set forth their complaints in strong
terms and they make the terms still
stronger when they have hopes OF
redress.
The whole truth then needs to be
known. Visit the schools frequently
and see for yourselves. Parents are too
apt to encourage their children in tale.
bearing and criticism on the conduct OF
the teacher. This is wrong and en-
courages disobedience in school. We
have generally found that in schools
where pupils had a bad name, the
parents were to blame. They do not
lust say turn the teacher out, but they
give their children to understand that it
would not be displeasing to them-like
the father who said: NOW, boye, to.
day is Sunday; you must not break The
Sabbath, but remember your father likes
fish" We are satisfied that if parents
would visit the schools frequently both
teachers and pupils would be benefited.
Their occasional presence encourages
the children, and makes the teacher
feel that there is some interest felt in
bis work.
