AT PEACE INSTITUTE.
Christmas Exercises Enjoyed by De-
!iqhted Visitors Last Night.

From o'clock until yesterday even
ing the art rooms at Peace were opened
to the public and many visitors, under
the direction of Miss Searcy, the art
teacher, reviewed the work of the young
ladies. The exhibit was highly credit
able. Some of the pieces were sur
prisingly fine The sketches from nature
By Misses Swift and Grail, and the copies
of landscapes by Misses Sudbury, Proctor
and Stockard deserve special notice. The
original designs of some of the little folks
were striking.
At o'clock the hall was well filed, the
occasion being the pupils midwinter con-
cert. The program consisted of piano,
voice. violin and reading and represented
the highest excellence of an institution
distinguished for sound training.
Nothing short of brilliant was the rem
dering by Misses Elias, Cobb and Long,
nor was that by Miss Oils less remark
able when one considers it was the work
of a pupil who began music less than two
years ago. Fine technique and sincere
feeling characterized the selection by
Miss Doles, and little Miss Kendell de-
lighted the audience with her violin.
Misses Meek and Borden reflected credit
upon their instructor, as well as upon
themselves, by their flexible, musical
voices The latter is a daughter of, Mrs.
Arnold Borden, of Goldsboro, formely
Miss Eunice Hemphll, fSouth Carolina,
who attended Peace in Prof. Bauman 5
day. and was one of his very brightest
pupils.
There was only one reading Billy

done She entered fully into the spirit OF
The exciting race she narrated her acting
was true and her animation sincere.

"THE PRINTER AND THE TAILOR.
They Tell How They Were Undone by
a Certain Broker.

A poem on Sunday having told how a
printer and tailor had gone hunting and
got nary a shot the following is the poet
ical reply:
The printer and the tailor.
Who went hunting together,
Under such favorable weather.
Little thought that a certain galoot,
In order that he might rhyme.
In his usual good time.
Would use the phone to thwart their
shoot.
At the time they were on their way,
Each face broad with smile,
Never a thought of guile.
A broker went to the phone to say
Hello, John if hunters come that way.
When they do arrive.
Throw them off a mile.
AS I will be down to hunt some day."
The message worked well,
AS we will proceed to tell,
For when we had planned
To hunt over good land.
These nimrods under this brokers' COM
mand.
Began to tell OF good ground.
Where birds galore could be found,
And soon we were completely in hand.
We hired two-horse hack,
Heard the drivers whip crack.
And driven seven miles in a fast trot,
When we arrived at our destination,
We learned from the best informa-
ton,
That all the quail were, at the next
station,
And that is the reason we got no shot.
We were led as sheep to the slaughter.
By these we thought our friends, who
oughter
Been glad to give us good time.
And not tell in ryhme
OF the utter failure
OF the printer and tailor.
To have a day of sport that was fine.
The printer is back at his case,
and the tailor is cooking his goose
But when they retire at night
Conscious of having never played a
"ruse.''
They deram OF not playing joke
That caused to go up in smoke.
The joys of this happy brace.

1t was Mrs Davis who had caused the in
juries of his wife and children. He was
not in the house at the time but he had
the following to say about his wifes
troubles with Mrs. Davis:
Mrs. Davis occupies the third floor of
the house, while we live on the second
Mrs. Davis is continually quarreling with
my wife. We have had to have her ar
rested three times. On December 81 my
wife had her arrested for battery She
beat my wife over the head with a broom

saw the plight of his wife and children
Mrs. Kline is 3S years OF age, while the
woman who is accused of throwing the
lamp is ten years older. She denied most
en,phatically that she threw a lamp at
Mrs. Kline, and when she saw her lying
on a bed Of pain at the hospital she pro-
fessed the greatest sorrow for her.

Mrs. Davis made the following statement:
II have known Mrs. Kline for some
time and we have had trouble num-
ber of times. In fact she had me ar
rested once on the charge of battery but
l never struck her. The last trouble
had with Mrs. Kline was about one month

that some one had stolen her bed sheets.

her.
