Winter.

A teacher sends to The Companion
from Virginia an original composition
written by boy 10 years of age. 1t was
his first attempt, and photography and
all is given just as he wrote it:
Winter is the coldest season in the
year because it comes in winter mostly.
In some countries winter comes in sum-
ner, and then it is very PLEASANT. wish

could SNOWFALL without getting our fin

It snows more in winter than any other
season. A wickit boy took my skates
and ran off with them and couldn'tcatch

Sweet Potatoes.

There is great confusion and mixture
of varieties of sweet potatoes in North
Carolina. An effort is now beng made
at the N. @. Agricultural Experiment
Station to test all known varieties and to
aid growers in selecting those best adapt
ed to home and market use. Few grow
ers have any sort perfectly pure, and 1t
will take several seasons to get the varie-
ties straight. We now have growing
eleven sorts. and will be glad to get any
sorts of local reputation. The sweet
potato crop ought to bring great deal of
money to our growers. But they must
remember that the Northern market re-
quires dry, yellow potato, while the
home demand is for the soft sweet yam
varieties. We are growing several sorts
suited for Northern shipment, and hope
to find one more productive than those
commonly grown. The only way to make
money in shipping this crop North is to
grow the kinds they want, no matter if
we here considered them unfit to eat

WEAK WOMEN.

The more sensitive nature of the female
sex renders women much more suscepti>
bic than men to those numerous Ills
which spring from lack of harmony in
the system. The nervous system gives
way, sick headache is frequent, the ap-
petite IS lost, and ether ailments peculiar
to the sex cause great suffering. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is peculiarly adapted for
such cases, and has received the most
gratifying praise for the relief it has af>
fo~sed thousands Of women whose very
existence before taking it was only mis-
cry. 1t strengthens the nerves, cures
sick headache aud indigestion, purities
and vltalizes the blood. and gives regular
and healthy action to every organ In the
body.

energy about her business people. Men
of push and enterprise are there whose

pointed the friends of the bride and groom
began to gather IN the Episcopal church
| where the ceremony was to be performed
and by the hour appointed the church

Messrs. A. Mcdowell and S. w. Nor

They repaired with a few friends to the
country home of Mrs. Chas. f. Hancock,

The commissioners of the town have
opened up some new streets near the cot
ton factory. The streets all over town
are being put in good condition. The
grass is cut off and they are being much
improved.
The collection taken up in the Baptist
church last Sunday at the close of the

the repairing of the houses on the factory
lot, so that they may be ready for occu>

repaired, and the machinery is expected
by the 10th.
FIRST BLOOMS BROUGHT.-On Thurs
day Of last week, MIR. VIM. Hodges
brought the first cotton bloom we had
seen. He got blooms from his fields on
Monday, June 23rd.
Mr., J. H Harrison writing from

LITTLEToN HIGH SCHOOL.-We call
attention to the advertisement Of Little>
ton High School. Prot L. W. Bagley.
the efficient Principal, is well known to
many of our readers, and deserves large
and encouraging patronage. He has been
there only few years, and has built one
of the handsomest academies in the State,
and is one Of the best educators. The
many advantages Of the town speak for
the patronage Of the school.
BE- At this season of the year there
are many visitors to friends III and around
Scotland Neck, and we hope the people
of the town will show due courtesies to
all visitors and strangers. This is neg
lected sometimes.
There is not that unanimity on this
subject that ought to prevail. Our young
ladies should call on visitors whether
they belong to their church or not, or
whether they are visiting members of
their church or not. Church has nothing
to do with social courtesies.
