The little fellow had been sick more

precious life hung trembling in the
balance and anxious and loving
hearts throbbed prayers for his re-
covery; but God willed it otherwise
Despite all that: skilled physician and

Their Names Omitted.

In writing last week about the cleo
ton OF the new town officers, We in
adyertently omitted the names of the
tax collector and chief of the fire de-
partDent-two of the most import
ant offices in the town government.
For what would we do without the
tax collector? and what a necessary
and responsible position is that held
by the fire chief. In these cases both
were re-elections-and deservedlv so.
Mr.. W. ii. Wester succeeds himself as
tax collector. and Mr.. Maurice ].
O'Neil stays where he was as chief of
the fire department. Mr. Wester has
given all his time to the duties of tax
collector and has it to his credit that
he let no grass grow under his feet or
interest accumulate on the money
due by the tax payer, while Mr.. O'Neil
has always taken a lively and intel
ligent interest in whatever concerns
the fire department or the welfare of
the property owners as effected by
that branch of the town government
over which he has jurisdiction.

cradle in which the baby was lying
was burning. The clothing was
burned off the little one and so seri-

Making Hay at Home.

Who said this was not a grass
country? The soil of Vance county
will produce as fine clover-annual
and regular-grasses and all varieties
OF the legumes most popular for
stock purposes, as any found any,
where. Fertilization may be neces-
sary to be sure, but our lands are
easily susceptible of being brought to
a high state of cultivation and the
returns for the labor and expense
pay well no matter what crop NAV
be planted. These thoughts are sug-
gested by the experience of Mr.. ]. n.
Fuller who brought to our office
Tuesday bunch of crimson or an
nual clover on which there were 80
branches or stems. This was an ex-
ceptionally large plant of course but
it shows what can be done i'm this
soil under proper cultivation. And
yet we see some people buying hay
from elsewhere when they should
raise it themselves.
