Oh, talk not to of the charms of the maiden
Who pats the bright keys, With fingers ringLaden;
She tosses her topknot and chews her gum sweetly,
The letter is wrong, but she fools you completely.
With condescension she lists you dictate,
But client she could placate;
No sense and no brains you in her discover
And yet you still keep her, you surely must lore er.
All clerks should be aes ho hare naugh to thee
Who smell not of ponder, who trembling berpdre tee
They take not your candies, not perfume sprinked

mourn the loss of their first
born, an only son, James Mar
shall Cropper, who died Friday
evening at 10 o'clock after a
brief span of life. The infant,
never strong, was born Monday.
The parents at first had hopes
that it might live, but they soon
discovered that death was to
follow shortly upon the footsteps
of life. The little one was taken
to Carrollton Sunday morning on
the 7 o'clock train and the tiny
body laid to an early rest in Oak
Hill Cemetery, where lie the
remains of his grandfather.
There was no service.

Revival Meeting Closed

The protracted meeting which
was held four weeks in the
churches of the city, a week at q
time in each, was closed Sunday
night. Three ministers, Rev.
Franc Mitchell, Rev. 0rmsbee,
and Rev. Ransford all gave short
talks. Although the professions
of religion have been few, it is
felt the churches have beer
strengthened by the reconsecra'
ton of their members. The
closing meeting was held at the
M. E. Church South and the
church was filled. Some of the
talks by the ministers were
strong and to the point. The
revival seems to have started 9
movement that is to continue
after the mmting is closed.

Mrs. Cleveland Married

At Princeton Monday, the
widow of President Grover
Cleveland was married to Prof.
Thomas ]. Preston of Wells
College.
Perhaps since Dolly Madison's
time no woman has been so un-
iversally loved in all America
womanly, handsome, intelligent,
domestic and withal modest,
Cleveland's greatest honor was
being her husband and his su-
premest happiness her love.
AS she abhorred notoriety she
was deep in the hearts of true
Americans, and the contrast be-
tween her children and those of
other notables impresses on her
countrymen her superior qualities
of parent and guide. Frances
Folsom was a beautiful refined
accomplished and most lovable
girl. AS Mrs. Grover Cleveland
she won the love of all the nation
by her graciousness and simple
democracy. AS mother the
character and accomplishments
of her family put her on a high
er pedestal of glory and as the
wife of professor of archaeology
her life will still reflect the high
est type of modern good among
her fellow creatures and elevate
all who become acquainted with
it. Every woman may not be so
much to her generation but none
who cannot emulate this most ex-
emplary model, not by public ex-
ploitation but rather by private
inculcation into the home circle
of virtues and accomplishments
which are necessary to religion,
domestic tranquility and social
cleanliness. Why not?

Mrs. Herring Entertains

One of the most pleasant social
affairs held here for a long time
was one at the home of Mrs.
E. W. Herring last Monday even
ing when she had about two
dozen guests to spend the even
ing. They found the entertain
ment so much to their liking
that it was an hour past the
midnight hour before they left
for their homes and even then,
some found themselves reluctant
to leave the scene Of pleasure.
The first event was a peanut
sticking contest, followed by
games of Forty-two and Rook,
six tables being used. After
the games in which partners
were chosen according to pro-
gram, there was a contest to see
who could identify a dozen arti-
cles passed through the hands
held at the backs of the guests.
Partners were chosen for the
supper by each guest grasping
a marshmallow at the end of a
string which was twisted and
entangled with others, one end
of the string being held by a
lady and the other by a gentle
man. The supper was served in
| two courses about midnight and
was followed by cigars for the
men present. The menu was
ut-chicken salad, creamed oys-
| ter patties, date an d cheese
sandwiches, pickles, grape juice
ice, coffee, angel food cake and
and pineapple parfait. 7 h e

FISTICUFFS IN COURT
Attorney and County Official
Lay On a la Jeffries

That it was a big mistake to
take the circuit court or any part
of it away from this town and
take it to Salisbury has always
been known. 1t was demons
trated again Friday night of last
week when two Keytesville
residents became involved IN a
scrap in the court room at 10 p.
m. while a night session was in
progress. J. D. Taylor had been
on the witness stand and made a
remark about ia. Waylard that
Mr.. Wayland asked him about
later. Taylor it isreported pushed
Wayland in the chest and told
him he did not want anything to
do with him. Wayland, natural
ly warm Of nature responded
with one that connected with
Taylor's optic. Innocent BY
ISLANDERS then interviewed and
tried to separate the malcon-
tents. While someone grabbed
Wayland, Taylor managed to
slide one across toward Way
lands right eye. Wayland
ducked but not far enough and
the blow caught him. Both men
it is said, had black and bruised
eyes as a result. Judge Lamb
who was in charge of the court
had not decided by the time
court adjourned what cognizauce
if any would be taken of the
contempt of court involved in
the demonstration as no similar
case had arisen during his
judicial term.

Antarctic Explorer Dead

Capt. Robert F. Scott the En-
'glish explorer, started inl June
1910 for his second attempt to
reach the south pole. January
IS 1912 he and four companions
reached the pole after indescrib-
able hardships, and planted the
English flag beside the Nor
wegian raised there just one
month and four days earlier by
Capt. Raold Amundsen, the first
discoverer. Unusual cold and
blizzards had delayed Capt. Scott
and on his way out he was
forced to camp with fuel enough
for but one short fire and pro-
visions for two meals. A stock
of provisions which had been
cached on the trip out was only
II miles away, but it could not
be reached, and Capt. Scott and
8 of his companions were found
frozen to death in the little tent,
another who had wandered only
a short distance by a search
party which had gone in the
ship in which the explorers had
sailed to bring them back.
Records in the tent written by
Capt. Scott while starving and
freezing, the last dated March
Is 1912, eight months before
they were found, confirm the
prior discovery of the pole by
Capt. Amundsen, and tells of
their hardships and facing death
inevitably. At the close when
he could write no more he said,
These rough notes and our
dead bodies must tell the tale,
but surely, surely, a great, rich
country like ours will see that
those who are dependentSSon us
are properly provided for"
On Feby. 5 1913 Mrs. Scott,
wife of the Captain sailed from
San Francisco, Calf. for New
Zealand where she was to meet
her husband on his return. She
does not know of his death nor
viii she until she reaches her
destination some time in April.
Peary, discoverer of the north
pole and Amundsen, discoverer
of the south pole are practically
prostrated by the fate of Capt.
Scott.

On Evils Trail

According to the remarks of
the ministers at the closing ses-
sion of a months special meet
ing held at the different church.
es of this city Sunday night, the
cohorts of evil will find it to their
interest to keep their eyes open.
According to the ministers, evil
is rampant in the city and much
harm is being done the young
people by the existance of evil.
Just what the evils were, is not
stated by the ministers but the
Demon, rum was given some
recognition. 1t was intimated
there were others. At the mems
meeting Sunday afternoon where
there were present abou 25 men
of the town, it is said there were
some astounding revelations
made. These men have volun-
teered to ferret out the dens of
evildoers and concerted action
is to be taken, according to the
plans outlined to put the devil
on the run. Just what the plan
of operation was to be was not
stated as the ministers declined
