BOYS,
A Reply to the Boys Composition on Girls
in the Carthage Blade.

Boys need not talk about the girls,
for think the most of them are not
fit to be with the girls. They are al
ways into mischief. They will curse
and swear, tell stories, and that is
not half what they do. They think
when they get about ten years old
they are grown. They chew tobacco,
smoke cigars; then there is fire at
one end and fool at the other. They
will slip away from their parents and
go to bar-rooms, and sometimes they
will get whipping, and that is just
what they need. But they don't
care just so they are off drinking
whiskey and chewing tobacco. lam
glad I am not a boy. Boys would
wear bustles if their breeches would
admit of it. I know they hate il
vad, and some of them do wear cor
sets. I tell you what, boys are bad
fellows. Girls have more fun than
boys. They don't want to 60 10
swimming. Some of the boys want
to go to see the girls, but they wont
let them do any such thing. They
are always going, and trying to walk
with the girls, but the girls are
ashamed of them--they are such ugly
animals. 1t is April now, and
guess that the boys will be sending
the April fools, but guess the girls
wont be fooled by them. I guess
the boys think that it is a big thing
to write to the girls, but the girls
think that it is a low-down trick in
them. Boys can't play on the piano
like the girls, but I know they want
to bad. 1 wish / did know what
little chap that was that wrote abou
the girls. fl did I would give hin
ghost, for 1 know he was itching al
over to go to see the girls, but they
wont notice him. I guess the boy.
think it big thing to make fun O
the girls, but think when they reat
this it will not be so pleasant. Boy
are always robbing little birds nests
and some time the devil will ge
them. We hate all the fellows blu
our boys, and they are ounces"

A Soldiers Death at Fort Fisher.
BY LITTLE EDDIE HALL,

BY LITTLE EDDIE HALL,
1t was near the Cape Fear river,
On January day,
That a soldier of the army
Fell amidst the bloody fray.
And the minnie balls were flying
Thick and fast about his head,
There were soldiers wounded, dying,
There were some already dead.
Some one saw that he was wounded,
And his heart with sadness filed,
And when asked if he was hurt much,
His reply was 81 am killed"
And the wound it did prove fatal,
For the ball had pierced his side,
And he walked few steps onward,
Fell upon the sand and died.
1t was there my uncle Henry
Fell on Fishers bloody plain,
But trust we all will meet him
Where We'll never part again.
I'VE print the above, without cor
r.ction, just as it was written by ;
thirteen-year-old son OF r. M. Hall
Of Dismal township.-EDIToR.l

Rev. H. s. Spiyey.

Rev. Mr.. Spivey, who wa5 we'll
known to the people Of Sampson and
adjoining counties, died at his resi-
dence, in the suburbs of Clinton on
last Saturday morning. He was born
during the great political contest of
1900, which resulted in the election
of Thomas Jefferson and marked the
birth of the Democratic party, and
was therefore about 80 years o. age
at his death. For more than forty
years of his life he was an active and
effective minister of the gospel in
the Missionary Baptist church. AS
far back as we can remember, Mr..
Spivey was a very old man, living
as our nearest neighhOr at Huntley,
and pastor of Salem church. He
was a remarkable man in many re-
spects, possessing an indomitable
energy and will-pOwer that left the
impress of his penetrability wher-
ever he went. During the last four
or five years, on account Of feeble
health, he was forced to.give up ac-
tive work in the ministry, While
he was resigned, willing, ready and
prepared to meet his God, yet he
never gave up as long as the rem
nant of once iron constitution could
be forced to act in obedience to his
energetic disposition.
