have construed the notice.
War is no respector Of persons.
1t is a pity hal the civilization OF
7 the century does not stamp it out.
! The increase in the price Of food
works sore distress among the
poor. Think OF little children 60

A colored msn named John
Danill was badly cut Saturday
night by some unknown persons.
The negro had gone to sleep in
the frame work of a new house
which is being built by Mr.. l.. F.
Pearsall. The people who did the
cutting were passing by the house
discovered the negro ana routed
him by using their knives.
Some of our soldiers who are
to-day in Florida are poor men
They left wives and children at
home. 1t is the duty of our peo~
pie to see to it that the families of
our soldiers be cared FOR. We are
confident this matter needs i'm
mediate attention. Our good wo-
men, God bless them, will take
this matter in hand.
The Goldsboro Rifles are in
jacksonville, Fla. They arrived
there Monday afternoon. The
boys were anxious to 90. Many
people think Florida a wonderfully
hot, d~isagreable place in summer.
This is a mistake. Daring The en-
tire summer there Is d constant
breeze from the ocean and the gulf,
and our soldiers boys will be far
more comfortable in Florida than
they were at Raleigh.
The commencement season is on
hand. Many will be the essays
and orations that will ring through
college halls within the next few
days. Many of the young folks
will go oct into the world armed
with medal and diploma, but the
sun will continue to rise and set
just as it has done for over six
thousand years. Hard work, and
plenty of it, is still doing business
at the same old stand, and he is
monarch OF all be suryeys-his
right none dare to dispute.
Tbs is a snake story and
Messrs Henry Brown and w. Il.
Vanhook, employees of the En-
terprise Lumber Company. are
its authors. They say that a
moccasin about eighteen inches
long was found alive and imbed-
ded in the end of q piece Of plank.
The log bad been brought from
the river and sawed up into
planks an inch thick and the
snake had made his home So
strait in the log that the saw did
not touch him and he was only
discovered when they went TO
put the end of the plank in the
furnace. The snake then crawl
ed out and showed fight. He
cared rothing for the circular
saws, but he kicked" on being
cremated.
This week the Graded school
will close. Che long vacation is
already knocking at the door,
and in a few days from now the
teachers will be free from the
care of the children, but my,
my, what about the mothers?
During the school months, it is
q great hurry to get the children
off in the morning, but when the
school closes the trouble will
be to fud something for the
children to do. So, come what
may, it is the mother who bears
the strain and responsibility Of
every home. The christian moth
ers are the lights of every home.
They are nearer like Christ than
any other class, for. like Christ,
their lives are lives of love and
sacrifice. Every son and daugh-
ter who really loves mother will
do everything possible to tighten
her labor and fill her heart with
Joy and sunshine.
Mr.. William 4 Faison. the VEN
cradle father of DR.. w. W. Fai-
son and Miss Emma Faison, of
this city, who has been visiting
relatives here, returned Sun
day to his home in Sampson
county. Though n years of age,
Mr.. Fsison is as straight as an
arrow. What changes have taken
place since his boyhood! He has
lived in a history-making period.
Since Mr.. Faison was a boy in
his native county of Sampson
whole systems of governments
have been changed; wars in our
own land and on foreign shores
have broken millions of hearts,
cherished institutions have been
