WISE AND OTHERWISE.

SERIOUS LOss.-Dr. J. R. Pope had
the misfortune to lose two fine horses
last week.
LOOKED LIKE IT.-The extreme cold
Of last week caused editor Roscower Of
of the Goldsboro Headaght to exclalm:
The Sunny South seems to be On the
point of discovering the north pole?'
PRETTY GOOD sHoATs.-Mr. Albert
House killed three shoats no. quite ten
months old which weighed 500 pounds.
This is pretty good weight for shoats of
that age
MUCH MOvING.-There has been a
great deal Of moving in the country gen>
orally. Many persons are changing
places on farms and other places AL.
most every day wagons are seen carrying
property and families in different direc-
tons where they begin work for new
year.
CARE FOR THE POOR.-In this ex-
and ice. It would b. great wonder If
there were not some persons ia the COM
munity who need help in clothes and fuel
and supplies. The people of Scotland
Neck and community have long been not
ed fer their charity, and THE DEMOCRAT
takes great pleasure IN making this obser
walton of the true spirit Of christianity in
our people as shown in broad and liberal
charity. We are confident that if there
are any in need of help that it has only
TO be made known to our people and re.
lief will soon be given.
UNPRETENTIOUS BUT PURE : A gen
tleman of unusual intelligence and read
er of The DEMOCRAT for number of
wears, in private letter to the editor
pays the paper the following highly
appreciated compliment.
Notwithstanding the stringency III
money matters, | cannot afford to let the
paper stop. While | receive several
papers of wider circulation and more
pretentious claims, l receive none more
faithfully and honestly edited and whose
columns are freer from corruptlng senti-
ment and vulgar slang. My children are
beginning to read newspapers, SO you
see [ must be particular as to the char
acter of the sheets that fall into their

joved by those who skate Of late. Sev
eral days last week parties went out from
town to Smiths mill and enjoyed them
selves-somo in skating with tie ease ol
the long ago end some in learning for the
first time to III ove '-swan-like'' over th
ice and enjoyed the fun OF trying 1t again
after every tumble.
1t has been long time since there has
been ice enough here for skating 1t may
be long time before we have another
such winter ievery body hopes it will bel
so let the skaters have all the fun they
can while the ice IS on.

FROM LEW IciUN

The year 1893 is upon us with consId-
cradle snow and intensely cold weather,
causing much suffering among the poor.
We have had about thirty inches of snow
mercury registered as low as degrees
below zero this morning. which is the
lowest yet.
There is great demand for wood, and
labcrers who depend on their daily labor
for living are in Strengthened crcum-
stances. No work Of any kind has been
done since Christmas. Merchants are
doing but little more than sit by the
stove and keep fires for loafers The ice
houses have been clogked with ice from
the creeks, which was frozen to the thick
ness Of eight and nine inch es Roads ere
SO frozen that but little travel can be
done and has stopped almost ever, body
except the inevitable drummer and, those
preparing for marriage. We learn that
one young man of orr neighborhaod will
get married next Tuesday.
