For The Young Housewife.

Young housewives and girls
that are training for the respOn-
sibilitieS of household will find
much that is useful in the little
papers contributed to The De-
lineator by Isabel Gordon Curtis
under the title The Making of
Housewife. In the April num-
Der the topic is Planning a
Weeks Work, and Wash-Day.
The author suggests an economi-
cal distribution of time and labor
that will recommend itself to all
who read her remarks. Other
features of domestic interest in
the same number are illustrated
for Easter entertainment and a
number of recipes under the top
les. Delicious Hot Breakfast
Cakes, !" 'Lenten Soups, " Cheese
as a Nutritlve Article of Diet, "
and "Savory Varieties of the
Homely Bread Pudding, " besides
a practical article on Cleaning
and Renovating Garments.

HE NIGH TRAINS.

Nothing has been heard from
the mammoth petition sent to the
NJ. & d. officials from the people
of this city asking that night
trains be put on the branch lines
connecting with the night trains
on the M. &. o main line. Inas-
much as this petition came from
one of the largest and most i'm
pOrtant cities on the line of this
road, inasmuch as it came from
people who have a right to be
heard in any matter affecting
vitality their welfare, it does look
as if courtesy would have
prompted the roads officials to
reply and to have stated that the
matter would at least be respect
fully considered.
Nothing has been heard how
ever, and the road 5 officials are
treating the matter with con-
tempt. They evidently take the
position that the ten thousand
people of this city are their law
full subjects to be done with as
they please and they will allow
them no rights in the premises.
Are the people of Columbus 60
ing to stand for this sort of
thing? Will they allow a road to
ignore them entirely and utterly
without even an acknowledgement
of one of the most representative
petitions which has ever been
sent out from Colum bus in any
cause.
We are reaping the results of
the merger and these lessons and
experiences should put the peo-
pie of this and other cities on
their guard to prevent the pass
age of this law legalizing it at the
next session of the legislature.
Just what action the Governor
is going to take in the matter
cannot be stated but if the bill
comes up again this city should
exercise a powerful influence
against it and it will.
Unless something is heard
definitely from the NJ. & O. in the
matter of our petition for night
trains and heard soon a commit
tee should be appointed to go be-
fore the Railroad Commission at
jackson to present our petition
and to recite the treatment it
has received.

Meeting Of United Charities.

There was a meeting of the
United Charities Association at
the First Methodist church yes.

sided over bv Mr.. W. H Carter,

er of the past two months
and there are still a number
Of Instances where assistance is
badly needed. Rev. A. T. Camp
reported a family in the Third
ward whose mem Oers are in a
most pitiable condition. It seem 5
that the head of the family has
been confined to his bed for a
long time past as a result OF
a stroke of paralysis, and his
wife is compelled to remain
at the home and nurse him
so that the only means of sup
port which the family has are the
wages of two little children, who
earn thirty cents day each in
one of the factories in Robert
sons Addition The case elicit
ed much sympathetic discussion
and upon motion it was decided
to contribute ten dollars toward
the support Of the family during
the present month and to take
further action in the case at the
next regular meeting of the as
ISOLATION. Other small sums
were authorized to be paid to
parties in need of assistance.
The different wards of the city
have been thoroughly canvassed
and collections were reported as
follows: first ward, $50. Is; second
ward, no report; first division,
third ward, $28. so; second divi-
sion, third ward, ST.. IS; fourth
ward, S12 Is; fifth ward. no re-
port; sixth ward. no report. Al
though the collections have been
fairly good the association has
been called upon TO expend large
sums of money, and the finances
are in rather depleted state
The different committees will
continue their efforts to secure
subscriptions and it is hoped
that these efforts will meet with
success.

Nj. Vernon Notes.

Editor OISPAICH+ LII Is U6GQ-
less to say that on account of the
unfavorable weather, the farmers
in this section are behind with
their work. With the exception
of few oats having been sown
comparatively nothing has been
done towards making a crop, but
the conditions would, in no way
seem lamentable, if all would
think as MIR. W. F. Cooper, who
was recently heard by the writer
quoting this promise: While the
earth remaineth. seed time and
harvest, cold and heat, summer
and winter, day and night shall
never cease" Mr.. Cooper has
long been a Bible student, and
has studied his Bible so closely
that in all the dark places of life
be can think of some precious
promise that will bear him light
Among the few things that
stood the severe winter weather
remarkably well, is some oats
that Mr.. r. M. Davis sowed dur
ing the pretty days of January.
Mr.. Davis reports that his oats
are just now coming up and look
ing well.
Through all the inclement
weather our school has continu-
ed it's work, the lowest num-
Der of pupils present any day
was twenty three.
Last Friday afternoon was the
time for an entertainment in our
school which was given by the
principals room. The last being
given by the two assistants
rooms, two weeks ago.
Several of our larger boys are
absent from school this month
on account of the pressing need
of work on the farm. Among
these are Messrs julius and
Alex Spann. Alex has gone to
his brother S near Vernon, Ala,
to work during the summer
months. while julius will take up
work with the Chair Manufac-
turing Co., in Columbus. We
wish these young men much
success and hope to have them
with us next term.
Our Literary Circle met last
Friday night and took up the
study of a new text which we
will study several weeks.
We regret to note that Miss
Georgia Ellis was i'll last Friday
and could not be at school. Miss
Georgia has been absent several
days lately because of i'll health.
She has our sincere sympathy.
Miss Beatrice Dawes and Mr..
Claude Stanley, of the Caledonia
section, were in our com munity
last Sunday. Miss Dawes was at
home on visit from her school.
Last Saturday was court day
at Mt. Vernon, TO try the case of
Fl. Hirshman against Stephen
Leech. A jury was summoned
and accepted to try the case,
and after all the evidence had
been heard. the jury retired to
make out the verdict. but be-
cause of some complications in
the case, were unable to agree.
The case therefore resulted in a
mistrial TO be heard again on the
25th inst. The case was tried
before Justice G. 0. Shackelford,
the plaintiff being represented
by Mr.. Stribling while Mr..
Meek looked after the defense.

The News and Observer says that
the Legislature kept within the
States income in its appropriations,
and will have over $4,000 left in the
treasury. Representative Murphy,
of Buncombe, said on the floor of
the House Monday, when a bill was
up to increase the salary of some
clerk, that they had already appro.
priated more money than they had
in the treasury. These conflicting
statements should be reconciled in
some way. Mr.. Murphy was a
member of the Finance Committee,
a member of the Appropriation
Committee and also a member of
the Committee on Salaries and Fees.
Mr.. Murphy was in a position to
know. Where did the News and
Observer get its information?
