Especial to News and Observer.)
Wilson, N. c., March IAN ac-
count Of the robbery of H~erring's
drug store, in this city, appeared in
the News and Observer Of December

ner Moore, a negro who had been en-
ployed by DR.: Ben Herring, entered

the night, and stole nearly one hun
dred dollars in money and a umb
Of articles-and how he was tried and
sentenced to the roads.
Since his incarceration it has been
discovered that he shipped a box OF
something from Wilson to Greenvine,
marked Mamie Cooper. The authori-
ties got on to the fact and will have
the goods reshipped to Wilson Gas
Mamie has not put in a claim for the
box.) On the arrival Of the box it

TWefyc-tOn Whale.
John c. Hadley, one Of Wilson'S
foremost citizens, is back from Vir-

were stranded on the beach. The
largest of these 1evlathans measured
about sixty-five feet in length and
weighed (estimated) twelve tons; the
the smaller one measured t~hirty-five

COmmendible Work
 Among Boys and Girls

We cannot boast of parks and play grounds for children, neither can we boast of colleges, where the boys and girls may obtain the higher branches of education, but there is a branch o work being conducted in Ketchikan which would be commendible in any city in the world, with all their parks, nlavgrounds and educational features. Laying aside the question of religeon, and dealing with the subject from the standpoint of the elevation of the minds of the boys and girls of our community between the ages of eleven and seventeen years. we must say that the work of the Rev. F. V. Fisher among the young men and women is commendible indeed. He has organ ized society among the boys, "The Knights of King Arthur, land has in- the boys are leading a cleaner and better life, and instead of loafing on the streets, are to be found taking up branches of study which will be of un- told benefit in time to come. From once to three and four times week the boys congregate at the home of Mir. Fisher, where they conduct the business of their organization aud receive instructions. They ate taken out on the bay in launches and ban oueted, and made to feel that they have mission in life which IS along higher plane.
 Take the boys as d whole, we find they are gentlemanly little fellows, do not swear nor use tobacco, and may be found attending church services on the Sabbath day. Where is the moth- CT or father who is not glad to know their boy is one of these?
 Among the girls, there is Queen Esther Circle, which is conducted along lines much the same as that oi the boys, in which the girls take an interest. Entertainments are arranged by Mir. Fisher; studies are mapped out, and tue managing of the business is under his supervision. The society is fourishing and all the members are enthusiastic workers.
 Our advise to parents is to encourage their children to join one of these societies where benevolence. sobriety and industry is placed constantly be- fore them. Combining this with a christian teaching, we are confident they will grow up to be better men and women.

Home People Deserves
 Better Treatment

The show last night may not. have been up to the standard in comparison with the plays put on in the cities, but we dare say the people who took part did the best they knew, and de- serve respect at least, which was not shown ny a few mem bers of the audi ence. Not few went for the express purpose of hearing what was being said on the stage ana on many occa- soDs this was denied them by the con stant talking and otherwise making unnecessary noise by a few in different parts of the house. If the efforts of any person are ever so feeble, so long as they are doing the best they know they deserve respect and it is wrong to hurt their feelings by any show of dis approval.
 The boys between the ages of ten and fifteen years who occupied the front seats made much unnecessary noise and should have been made keep quiet or leave the hall.
