General j. w. st. Clair, of Fay
etteville, has our sympathy in the
death of his wife which sad event
occurred last week at the Johns
Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.
Mrs. st. Clair went to that city to
have a very severe surgical opera
ton performed and never rallied
from the shock. General st. Clair
has been greatly afflicted. About
two years ago he almost lost his eye
sight and has not recovered from
that; he has also met with fnan-
ciaI reverses and this last stroke
seems to be all the heavier. He is
a strong lawyer and a very popular
politician.

in the distribution of the Register
to its patrons, we will have to re-
port them to the department.
Complaints are becoming too
numerous in this regard. A post
master has no right to take sub
scriber's paper and read it, or loan
it to another person to read, and
to do 50, subjects them to a fine
and reprimand. or removed from
Office. a postmaster is supposed
to be an honest man, and no hon.
est man will open and read
another's paper simply because it
comes to his Office and will not be
called for until day or two after
arrival We know postmasters
who<do this regularly, and if they
are reported for violation of the
post-ofice regulations they need
blame no one but themselves.
They know the law and their duty
and should obey it.

No loyal church woman ever
hears preacher who is quite SO
good as her own.
Women always own from one 10
dozen cook-books, but they con-
tinue to cook things in the same
old way.
When a woman gives party
and doesn't invite the neighbors, it
indicates that she can get along
without borrowing:
Women are never so friendly with
each other until they have had a
business transaction together. One
insists in paying more than her
share and is always mad afterwards
because the other let her.

night, and give patrons their mon
