We had a pleasant call from Brother
Thomas. Of the LOuisburg Times.
Monday. In addition to conducting
his paper he is now " editing' the
position Of Deputy Collector Of Inter
nal Revenue for the district embracing
Nash, Franklin and Granville counties.
Mr.. James \. Egcrton, ST., Of Raj
cigh. who has been visiting his chill
dren Mrs. }. y. Fleming and Mr.. G..
T.. E9ertOn. at their homes near Mid
dleburg, will leave for his home about
the first Of Christmas. His many
friends hope to have him back to see
them again next spring.
The many friends Of Col. +. Tavlor
are pleased to see him here again. lie
has been at his farm iii Orange county.
Va. several months, but divorced him
sell from his fine stock and the COM
forts Of hickory log fires long enough
to come down and spend the holidays
with the young folks at home.

yesterday for Forksville, Mecklenburg
county, Va. where he goes to spend

sIblllty Of such men as L. 7. Robinson,

We regret to learn that Mr.. Geo.
NJ. Newell has had considerable sick
ness i'll his family since moving to
Washington City. His infant daughter
Fannie Bertha, had severe attack of
pneumonia and at one time the anX-
lous parents were apprehensive Of
losing her. She is now fast recovering,
we are clad to learn.
Friend Zach T. Turner, of the Mid
dlcburg section, is elated at having
''downed" his ueighbor John A. Flem-
ING, on the hog question. lie killed
eleven that made him 2.l00 pounds Of
pork, the largest weighing 3G6 pounds.
He says that while he did not have as
many hogs or get as many pounds as
friend John A., he beat him on the
average.
Times may be hard, but don't let
that affect the Christmas present of the
little ones. 50 much happiness can be
given them with so little money.
Keep up the illusion Of Santa Claus,
and the rcindecrS and chimueys and
stockings as long as you can. 1t is
the saddast hour in Il childs' life when
he finds that Santa Claus is not really
what his infancy had imagined, but he
never forgets him. Yes, remember
the little ones at Christmas.
Our townsman Mr. j. II. CIack is
quite a successful hog raiser as we'll as
a GOOD farmer. From an investment
Of $50 for three hogs last spring. he
sold $3.50 worth. and has Just killed
$40 pounds of pork. Two seven
months old weighed l43 and 145. a
third one weighed 800. The latter
he says was the sorriest looking hog to
start with he ever saw, never having
but one ear and no tail at all. But he
turned out all right at killing time.
Two gcnial and popular newspaper
men i'll the persons of Capt. Bill Cara
way. Of the Richmond Dispatch, and
Ben Hardy, of the Raleigh North Car
oiiuian, met here Tuesday evening
Carraway having so greatly enhanced
his personal beauty by shaving off his
chin whiskers, Hardy was persuaded to
go him one better and not only sac
riticG his beard but have his hair cut
of also. The last seen of him he was
making for the nearest barber shop
across TIE street. and if he did not
weaken on his good resolution he will
be lucky if he doesn't take violent cold.
II lie does he will have to hold Bill
Carraway and Dick Y Dung responsible.
No better preparation for the hair has
ever been invented than Ayers Hair
NIGor. 1t restores the original color to
faded and gray hair, and imparts that
natural gloss and freshness, everyone 50
much admires. Its reputation is world
wide.
