PINE FOREST JOTTINGS.
Personal Items of Interest
Picked Up.

Several of our people attended the
Sunday school convention at Salem
Sunday.
Mr.. Archie Edwards, of Kinston,
is visiting relatives and friends at
Oakland this week.
Mr.. and Mrs. II. T. Jones were
spending some time in Wilmington
last week visiting relatives.
Mr.. Simeon Aycock and wife, of
the Nahunta section, are visiting the
families Of Mr.. J. r. Hooks and Mrs
Fannie Hooks this week.
Messrs. P, G. Caldwell and Alden
Y~elverton. are now equipped with
first class gin machinery and are
ready to wait on their many custom
ers.
Among those who went on Hatch
Bros excursion from our communi-
ty were Messrs. John S. Edwards
and Albert Howell, and they report
a fine trip.
We r glad to congratulate the
Ebenezer district on securing a new
school building, but don't we wish
we could be that lucky, but all things
are for the best, "they say"
Grabbing potatoes and picking
| cotton is the general order of the day
| now, and the "coon'' is happy but
we must think he has taken a tree,
! for we don't remember that we ever
saw as much cotton opened at one
! time in our lives.
There is one thing that marks i'm
provement in section, and that
| is fine cattle. You can ride along the
road and see thoroughbred Jerseys
and Ayrshire that are beauties, and
they are well kept. There is a reason
for this and we know what it is, but
we won't tell nav.

elbow many disappointments
have in their consequences, saved a
man from ruin" There is some
consolation in this thought, but it is
hard to school ourselves to disap-i
pointments. When they come, how
much better we would be, if, like
the old woman when the cow eat the
grindstone, we conld say, "Just as I
expected" and not let them give us
one moments worry, but live with
our hearts resigned to any fate.
Our neighbor Toby says, one night
last week the darkness was SO dense
you could stick your finger in it, and
as be was slowly feeling his way to
his horse lot he ran against a wagon
body laying on the ground and fell
into the body, and blythe time he re-
covered he struck the other side, and
then he fell out of it. He was sure
there was enough integument laid
waste on his shin to half-sole a pair
of shoes, but upon Investigation, he
could find no damage only to his
feelings. We think he will apply
to your city for an arc light if the
moon don't soon change.

Foolish Boys.

For several weeks past merous
complaints have been handed into
this office in regard to an oft re-
peated distur bance by boys and
young men in all parts of the town
when party, reception or other
mode of entertainment is being
given. A few nights ago while
marriage ceremony was being
solemnized these same boys car
ried on in horrible manner.
They seem not content with
making night hideous by making
all sorts of unearthly yells but
bonn bard the houses with rocks,
cans and clubs and in many cases
dighgure their beauty. Some go
so far az to raise the window while
guests are entering and sing
filthy, sn,utty songs, to tho utter
disgust of the person giving the
entertainment.
1t is time that halt should be-
called upon such behavior.

To Taxpayers.
The New Machine Shops

1t will be an item of interest to
the tax payers of this county to
know that each of the Florence
banks have arranged with the
county treasurer to receive the
amount of taxes due on property
at these places of business. Take
your card that you receive from
the county treasurer to the bank
with the required amount and the
cashier will give you personal
receipt for your money, which
will be forwarded to the county
treasurer and credited to your ao-
count. This is a handy arrange
ment and will save many persons
the trouble of either driving to
the comfy seat or going to the
expense of buying a money order.
The banks will charge no exchange
for their trouble. The first half
years taxes are due and will be-
come delinquent on March 1st.
