Items of Interest In and Around
the City.
If you have not paid your city

Our cotton weighers are not MAX
), ing a great deal out of their job these
days, weighing from two to five
bales of cotton a day.
If the old weather adage about
grounding day be true, then the
backbone of winter is indeed broken,
for the little varmint could not see
his shadow when he issued from his
lair Thursday morning to recon-
noitre.
The remains of Bud Adams, the
young white man who was so Sc
verely burned at Pikeville sometime
ago and who died at the GoldsborO
Hospital Thursday, after much sut-
ferIng, were Inferred in Willow Dale

The cooking exhibit of the Great
Majestic Range is nov open at the

The Fonvielle Grocery Company,

BILE in what they sell, are making a
new departure for this Week-and
this week OnIy-and have Inaugural
ted a special sale on canned goods,
and other ~specialtles, that house
wives generally will doubtless be
interested in.
While standing in the postoffice
this mornIng we saw "a young man
walk up to the side of the beauti-
fully finished white wall and strike
a match, which of course made a
long black mark on the wall, to light
cigarette. This is very wrong and
such as this should not be tolerated.
This is a beautiful place, nicely kept,
and should not be disfigured by the
wanton practice of striking matches
OH the wall.
Messrs. Royal & Borden, the well
down furniture firm of this city,
ItaIeigh and Durham, whose trade
IN all kinds of furniture and mat
t~resses, wholesale and retail, is con
fined to no State or territory, bu
covers the nation, have just adopt
Ell the National Cash Registe
system, and the representative O
tine s. stem for this section, Mr.. JOhl
Sironach, of Raleigh, is here TO in
stall the machines.
TIE death of Mrs. SalIie Wood, Z
yea1s old, the venerable mother c
Mrs. Romeo Daughtry, occurred FIR
Iight at $40 o'clock, at the home {
Ter son-in-law, Mr.. Daughtry
where she resided. The funeral wa
b Id Sat. afternoon from the home
at 4 o'cl ok, Rev. W. L. Cunning
GIN, pastor of st. Paul M. E.. church
of which denomination she was

year, officiating.
The statement that there are 100
600 professional beggars in til
United States, many of whor
"make'' not less than S. a day,
enough 10 curdle the milk of huma
Kindness, but still it is mot a safe pla
to be too brusque in ''turning down
an appeal for aid. Oftentimes CASE
worthy of charity are found on til
streets, although begging as a pre-
fession is getting to be exceedingl
popular these days.
Another tale of hard luck come
from Hartford City, Ind, whel
there resides a carpet layer who on
year ago sold some land in the India
Territory for $75 that is now wort
$4,000. The story is brief. Oh
was found on the property and tn
carpet layer is still doing business q
his old stand. 1t is not difficult t
guess the character of his thoughts
nor should he be blamed for yield
ing to profanity now and then whel
he fails to hit a tack on the head.
