No sadder death has occurred
in our community in a long time
than that of Bessie Jenkins.
daughter of Mr.. w. E. jenkins.
AS late as last Monday, Christ
mas eve, Bessie was visiting her
friends and playmates in the neigh
borhood, last night at 8 O'Clock
her spirit had gone to the unknown
land to meet the mother no a
few years ego crossed over the
river. Bessie was Is years old. A
sweet-faced, thoughtful child, of
splendid disposition, she was a
favorite with her teachers, her
playmates, and the grown people
of the neighborhood in which she
lived. She had az acute attack Of
appendicitis, and all that medical
skill could do was done for her,
but all to no purpose. The funeral
was held at St. Stephens Episco-
pal church this afternoon.

The people of North Carolina
are stirred up over the school
book business, and almost every
! State paper you pick up is de-
handing better books and cheaper
books for the public schools. The
right kind of a law will accomplish
the desired results. Most of the
school books now in use are old
books, good in their day, but the
day of their usefulness has passed.
In the last few years there has
been as much Improvement in
school books as in any other line
of industry. In order to accom-
| plish the best results it is just as
important to put the best school
books into the hands of children as
it is important to put the bes,
tools into the hands of the carpen-
ter. The Legislature of North
Carolina will haYe it in their
power to pass a law that will
prove q blessing to our people by
| giving them better and cheaper
school books.
The people of Wayne county
never enjoyed Christmas more, we
believe, than the Christmas OF
1900. Our people have much to
be thankful for. God has blessed
them abundantly. The farmers
have made good crops, the mer-
chants have had a fine trade, and
the factories have sold about all
the goods they could manufacture,
| Consequently all kinds Of IL
both skilled and unskilled, has
been in great demand, and general
prosperity has been the result.
May u people not be dazed with
their present prosperity, and run
recklessly into debt thinking the
good times will last all the time.
There is nc telling what a fe a
months will bring forth, and r. ,ex
year may be a disastrous n hotl
as to crops and prices. Only neo
pie with surplus capital car affor,
to take large risks.
