1t is our intention to print under this head, from week to week, items of interest from the old Stafford News Letter.
 The committee of the school district are much troubled to find place for the next term of the High school which is to be held in this village. The Congrega- tional vestry has been used for this pur- about repairing and refitting that room, and naturally dislike to relinquish a pro ject which they have been so long enjoy ing in consummating. As the committee wouldn't be let again for school purposes, the ladies feel as If something ought to have been done to provide a place. Besides, the vestry is not 8 suitable place for school room, and as we have got to look the fact square in the face that a new school house. is needed, and must eventually be built, why not go about it i? No church society cares to have it's church edifice turned into school house, and if the Congregational society have kindly furnished room heretofore, it is no reason why their good nature should be taxed further, and that they should now aban- don their purpose of repairing their >ves- try.

A little thought and attention paid to the "left overs" will transform many of them into dainty and palatable dishes.

When baked this will be found very delicious dish.

Gratis with more intensity than the
Jews exhibited against Christ
will be patent to any one who will
take the trouble to attend re-
publican convention in the south
and see how ministers are put for
ward to lead their flocks. All
this is natural and under the cir
cumstances should be excusable
from the standpoint of broad
christian charity.
But it is not of these we would
speak in adverse criticism. 1t is
of the enlightened, educated white
politician who attempts to use the
sanctuary of God for the purpose
of concealing his political incon'
sistencies or short comings. Fol
years learned divines of all de
nominations have recognized and
applauded the press, not only as
one of the greatest educators oftht
age, but also as the best help the
minister had in the suppression
of wrong, vice and sin.

Ostracism.

The law retribution is largely
the effect of 0stracism-a word Of
large meaning in the sum Of
misery it produces. 1t is the anti
podes Of kindness, Of christianity,
both in meaning and effect. In
social sense, 1T has sent many
good young men and women
from high and ambitious ex'
peetancy of useful and honored
lives to seek companionship with
he senuous and vicious.
And why? Because neither
pure life, education or brain il
allowed TO enter the halls Of il,
peers unless dressed in purple and
fne linen, or has a known bank
account sufficiently large to cover
these defects to society's critica
eye. The rules Of the 'caste'
are exhibited on the street, il
public meetings-and in tn,
churches; in private houses, The,
rarely have opportunity.
How much better, and how
much happier would the world b.
if kindness, fairness-iustice, wer'
substituted for ostracism in socia
and business matters-givint
honor when it was due, and hold

Jones, raised on the Roanoke

bitterness in the republican
camp of caswell county. In the
county convention held there
on the 25th resolutions were
passed in which the attempt Of
Hon. Thomas Settle, through

its action is designated as "a
species Of political trickery and
dishonesty unworthy Of any
good citizen" The same con-
ventlon endorsed Mckinley for
President and Boyd for Cove
