Newfoundland Dog Supply Very
Short,

Selected.
The demand for Newfoundland dogs
has been 80 great of late that a dealer
in this city declares the supply has
been exhausted, that he is unable to
obtain single thoroughbred specimen.
He wrote q short time ago to the
American Consul at St. Johns, N. F.,
asking him at what price he could OBJ
tain thoroughbred dogs there. The
Consul replied that he had made an
investigation and found 'that New
foundiand pups could be bought at $40
apiece. The dealer prepared to give
an order for ten young dogs. Before
sending, however, he received informa-
tion from the Consul that further in
vestigation demonstrated the fact that
there was not, 90 tar as he could ascer-
tain, a thoroue hbred Newfoundland
dog in the whole island, all having
been crossed with hounds and other
dogs.
The Consul stated that he learned
that the only person known to possess
q pure breed of Newfoundland dogs
was a man in Pennsylvania. The
dealer wrote to the latter, only to be
told that the demand for his dogs was
much greater than be could supply,
and that orders had been placed which
precluded any more tor several years.
"It is we'll known" said the dealer,
"that the smooth breed OF Newfound-
land is extinct, but that the other
varieties are 90 nearly as to render the
obtaining of one practically an impos-
slbility has come upon me in the ma
ture OF surprise. The smooth New
foundland has a rather small head and
was white In color, with white spots
The breed desired now, which l have
been endeavoring to obtain, is the
very large sort, with broad muzzle,
head raised, noble expression, waved
or curly hair, and bushy curled tail
black and white In color, though to a
lees extent and is about as difficult to
obtain"

The Blue Back.

| Rev. J. o. Atkinson in Christian Sun.
AS rule when one article of use
goes out of style another and better
one takes its place. But this rule IL
frequently broken and we know 1t to
be broken for the wore ir one instance
at least. We refer to that In which
Webster's blue back speller was ruled
out. and-up-to-date nothing approach
ing its equal has come to take its place.
just say what you will, the blue back
is without rival in merit at least, II
not now in popular favor. For our
part we deplore its untimely taking of
and for one would most conscientious
ly and willingly vote for its reintro-
duction into our schools. And to our
thinking ninety per cent. of the news
paper men you meet would vote the
Same.
They are not teaching spelling in
any sort of sane and sensible fashion in
the schools any more. The conse-
quence Is that three fourths of the col
lege graduates that emerge from the
classic walls and undertake to write a
piece for print, misspell in manner
that Is fearful. They can quote
Shakespeare ambition and Dante to
make your head swim, but they can
not spell words in common, everyday
use. If you believe they can, try the
next half dozen college graduates you
meet.
But worse than this. Enquire Of
the next seven or eight year old school
boy you zee about his studies. Like
as not be is already studying geography,
arithmetic, several readers and pencil
tablets, and, may be, pedagogics, and
cannot spell ab, nor ub, nor cub, nor
tub If his life depended on it. am
not guessing about this; I know it to
be a truth. The foundation is not
there. And that Is the whole secret,
a sad lack of foundation. And In our
educational system today You will
find this trouble. There is not proper
foundation. A dead and strenuous
rush is being made to 60 through the
BOOK, complete the grade, finish tho
work, get the diploma.
The blue back speller is needed
again. It gave foundation In spell
ing and reading at least. And these
acquirements are the foundations OF q
great many other useful and valuable

Obituary Notices.
Rich Square Times.

Rich Square Times.
One of the most unpleasant duties
we have to perform in connection with
the publication OF newspaper is to
decline to publish long obituary
notices and resolutions OF respect, free
of charge, especially for or about those
who never gave the paper any support.
But few, if any, except relatives and
immediate family connections read
obituaries aud resolutions OF respect,
and to fill a paper with them from
week to week would soon cause the
paper to have no readers; and without
readers and paying subscribers none
but subsidized papers can live.
The Roanoke-Chowan Times is de-
pendent entirely upon the receipts
from subscriptions and advertisements
for support, not dollar from any
other source has ever been paid to II

charge obituaries and resolutions OF

they contain not over two hundred
words, after that limit is reached t.
print the remainder at half cent

We would not deny the living the
pleasure of seeing in print the kind
things friends say OF the loved ones
who have passed away, but to do the
most good for the living We must
haye readers and to secure and retain
readers we must print paper that is
entertaining as we'll as containing
matter for the improvement OF the
mind. This paper speaks to more
than five times as many people every
week as any minister in this or adjnin-
ing county ,and we wish for its influence
never to grow less. After an ex-
perience of thirteen years we feel that
we know more about what local
paper should be than we did when we
first started in the business.
We have been waiting for long
time for an opportune time to say
this-for a time when we had no ur-
gent request to publish long obituary

reference to any particular case.
We wish to scatter as many flower
