The establishment of a Cutting School
In Lehlghton has been Instrumental in
more fully arousing public sentiment upon
one vital question than has ever before
been aroused, namely:
"THE PRACTICAL EDUCATION
FOR WOMEN"
Appealing to your most candid judg
ment. parents, have you educated your
daughters in such manner that they can
earn good, honest living by their own ef-
forts, IL sucba thing should become neces-
sary, for little do any OF us kIow what is
in store for us? IL is q refined accomp-
lishment for any lady TO be able TO look af-
ter her own clothing and see that il is made
correctly aud in becoming style. and there
is no education that prepares any lady for
the responsibilities and duties Of life equal
10 knowing how TO construct her own
clothing properly,
IT, is only the second consideration CON
cerning this lifes goods. The first Is pre-
pairing Our food properly and next is our
clothing, and this is of the highest import
ance to all, and might mean very much 10
some of our readers. II is an atlested fact
that the Cutting School is a harbinger of
good wherever established, and the price
of the thorough course of instructions Civ
en- is merely nominal compared with its
great value which is clearly demonstrated
by the best Judgment of some that have
already been doing good work with it,, and
we cordially welcome any one to our In

themselves.

Eek, n. c.. THURSDAY, JUNE12, 1890.

A was observed in the first num-
ber Of this series, Scotland Neck is
situated directly on the watershed
between the Roanoke and Tar
rivers. At point in Main street in
the Northern part Of the town the
divide is so distinct that the water
runs from that point North into the
Roanoke and South Tito the Tar.
While the town rs within seven
miles of the river, it is singularly
free from all malarial affections, and
typhoid fever so common in the sec
tioDs higher up in the State, is sell
dom known here to any fatal degree.
Being in the long leaf pine belt 1t
is especially free from all lung trou-
bles acute and chronic.
Pneumonia is extremely rare, and
consumption is not common.
Scotland Neck being about 100
miles from the coast, and being on
the watershed before mentioned, is
almost entirely free from some OBJ
jections, in matters Of health of
what is known as Eastern Carolina.
SOCIAL AND INTELLECTUAL
The inhabitants are noted for their
social, moral and intellectual superi,
ority, and the stranger never comes
and goes without breathing bene>
diction upon the beautiful town and
the good people of Scotland Neck.
The prestige of this section, given
it BY its wealth before the war; the
faoulons crops Of its rich river lands;
the Intelligence and refinement of Its
people, from its earliest history to
the present timt; the energy Of its
business men now, and its unsur-
passed record for its health and the
sobriety Of the people, warrant the
prediction that within the next de
cade many who are seeking pleasant
homes in thriving locality, will
turn their attention to this section;
home capacity will be developed, and
Scotland Neck will in few years
rank with the foremost sections of
North Carolina in all that pertains
to active enterprise in the trend OF
Southern progress.

Tfse Comfort Of USliness.

Give men or women minds big
enough and they will not think of
and the world will not worry itself
about their faces. though they may
be as plain as Charlotte Cushman E,
as rugged as Ralph Waldo Emerson,
as ugly as George Eliot. Poor, little
misshspen Pope said: "The minds
the standard of the man,' and the
world said "Amen !" He had the
mind. 1t is useless arguing with c,
young girl that beauty is not bless
ing. 1t is in her nature TO want to
be pleasing and admired. Sac sees
roses loved and worn because they
are beautiful, and she would be Of
them and with them in the rose leaf
longing times of her spring in the
world. Homely girls have sat up
nights to cry and thinking Of falrer
faces that have been more courted
because fairer, have fallen asleep on
pillows wet with tears that have
come from kindly eyes, and dropped
from homely cheeks in sympathy.
Tell them that beauty is only skin
deep, and that t brings unhappiness,
and they will still sob g: "Giye me
the beauty" 1t is like telling poor,
tired overworked man that great
wealth only brings misery" He
Will still wish to take the chances Oh
a little wealth. But all tue same
there is lots of comfort for the home
ly. They can be good and wise and
having much time away from their
mirrors and their fatterers, can
think and do great things.

Creator has given us for the solution
of his solvable problems. Who but

Some persons seem foolishly to
imagine that wealth entities them to
privileges not accorded to the gen.
eral public, and exempts them from
obligations and rules to which others
are expected to- conform.
The New Yo1H Ledger reports an
incident which occurred on one of
our ocean steamers, and which con-
veys wholesome lesson to all purse
proud ignorers Of the rights of The
majority.
A family of unlimited wealth had
secured the best accommodations the
steamer afforded. The gentleman
and bis wife kept themselves seclud-
ed the most of the time, hut the
children were allowed to run Wild
over the steamer until they became
such Intolerable nuisances that the
captain was spoken to, and he gave
the youngsters a severe reprimand.
This reused the indignation of the
mother, who remarked to the captain
that. as she paid first class fare, she
thought she was entitled to first-class
privileges.
"Madam," said the captain, first
class fare means first-class conduct" "
