The Mud women Of 0S town and

to aid in the carrying Of the bill for

gested by the Goldsboro Woman's

response.

around helpless childhood for physi-
cal growth and moral n dintellectual

from the nobler humanities of the
question. we should lend 0a1R best aid
to this Measure that is so vital in all
essentials that go to make a people
happy, a generation prosperous and
a commonwealth great.
Apropos, we publish, by request
the following extract, in point, from
Mrs. Elizabeth Barrett Browning's
beautiful poem "The Cry Of the Chill
dren":
Do you hear the children weeping,
my brother?
They are weeping bitterly:
They are weeping in the playtime Of
the others,
! In the country Of the free.
They look up with their pale and
sunken faces,
And their look is sad to see,
For the mans heavy anguish draws
and presses
| Down the cheeks of infancy
"Your old EARTH" they say, "is very
dreary,"
"Our young feet" they say, "are
very weak"
! For co." say the children, eve are
weary,
And we cannot run or leap"
| For all day the wheels are droning,
turning,
Their wind comes in our faces,
Till our hearts turn, our heads, with
pulses burning,
And the walls turn in their places,
Turns the sky in the high window
blank and reeling,
Turns the long light that drops
adown the wall,
Turn the black flies that crawl along
the ceiling,
All are turning, all the day and we
with all.
And all day the iron wheels are
droning,
And sometimes we could pray
60, We Wheels (breaking out in mad
moaning)
"Stop! Be silent for the day"
Ay! Be silent! Let them hear each
other breathing
For a mor0ent, mouth to mouth;
Let them touch each others hands, in
a fresh wreathing
OF their tender human youth.
Let them feel that this cold metallic
motion
Is not all the life God fashions or
reveals;
Let them prove their living souls
against the motion
That they live in you or underyou,
O wheels!
Still all day the iron wheels go on
ward,
Grinding life down from its mark;
And the children's souls, which Cod
is calling sunWard,
Spin on biindly in the dark.

STILL INCREASING
REPORT OF THE LAST QUAR-

POSTOFFICE.

The local rostoeice receipts for the
quarter ending October were sl0,.
256.12. For the same period last year
they were 39,6SS. 23, showing an in
crease of $4,000. The receipts for
the six months ending with October
were s21, 095.6t, and for the CORES
ponding period last year they were
sl9.34i.67.
This shows the substantial increase
over last year of sl,755, and will in
sure a $1,000 increase for the year
which ends next March. since the win
ter months always give the best reve-
nue.. This increase will fully estab-
lish the Paducah postofiice in the first
class which 1t entered last July, and
will give an additional 100 annually
to the postmaster's salary.
This gives evidence Of the substan.
tial growth of Paduoah as well % q
