Rev. G. F. Smith, of Littleton, Pre-

In the Methodist church Monday night
OF this week. His sermon was most
practical one on the sin of worrying
The three particularly named sins In
worrying are the sin against God, the
sin against ones self and the Sin
AGAINST others. The sin OF worrying
discloses a want OF proper faith In God ;
makes others about one unhappy, and
blazes way for the inroads OF disease
and premature death to the one who
practices it.
The discourse was very helpful end
those who heard it went away with
mauy suggestions that will aid them
in avoiding many troubles that come
from worrying.
After the sermon the church held
conference for the Transaction OF regu'
business.

ed in the death of Mr.. Will McMarks s,

It seems that Mr.. R. L. Smith, of
Roanoke Rapids, had charge Of re-

posed to drink wished the privilege OF
the reireshment car for their drinking
He refused them aud this brought on
the row.
The excursion went to the beach and
1eturning the row occurred at Ports
mouth where McMarks was shot.
No one could tell who did the shoot
ing but Smith was accused and arrest
ed. McMarks WAS taken to St. Vim

died Sunday.

Our Deep Wen.

It takes time for developments, and
although the deep we'll in Main street
here was sunk nearly two years ago,
the people have just commenced to
appreciate the fine water which 1t sup
plies. The we'll was sunk to depth
Of six hundred feet, and an analysis by
the State chemist more than year
ago showed the water to be first-class.
For quite long time very few per-
sons seemed to care to use the water,
for at first use it really is not palatable
Recently, however, the people are using
it constantly. Some one said Monday
night at 10 O'Clock that the pump had
been running since 3 o'clock in the
morning. :.
Many persons are sending to the we'll
and carrying the water away to their
homes regularly. 1t is said that man
took a quantity OF 1t with him to Nor
folk some days ago.
1t has been suggested, and quite
properly, that the town spend some
thing on the we'll in the way OF fixing
it up ana making it somewhat attrac
tive. Some have expressed desire
that the town commissioners would
have the we'll made deeper until
freer flow of water can be had.

DcIOrnfnr Cattle

The practice of dehorning cattle aft
er they are year old, says yeterina-
rian, while safe enough, is cruel and
needless. When the horns are re-
moved, hemorrhage may be stopped
by applying cotton saturated with a
tincture of muriate of iron. Over this
should be placed layer of cotton sat
urated with pine tar, and a cloth should
be bound over all to keep out dirt and
germs. Calves should be dehorned
when they are week old. Clip the
hair from the places where the horns
come through and apply little COM
mon caustic, which can be bought at
any drug store. 1t is we'll to cover
this with little pine tar. The caus.
tic may be repeated in a week or two.
but it is often unnecessary. This prac-
tice prevents horns from growing and
obviates the needless cruelty.
