FLAG. ETIQUETTE CODE
 FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
When and When Not Did Glory Should
 Be HoIsted.

The following code of f1ag etiquette has been compiled from army and navy usages ard placed by the r. A. F. in the. public schools. While the1sntl4 dren are becoming fairly well trained in the knowledge, there are many of more mature Eears to whom it may be instructive. The rules arc:
 The flag should rot be hoisted be- fore sunrise, or allowed to rCnain out after sunset. It should not pe dis played upon stormy days, nor left, out over night.
 Whenever possible. the flag should be Ehown from a mast or staff, but should not be fastened to the side of a building, platform or scaffolding
 When the colors are passing on parade, as in review the spectator, if a man or boy, shoulh # walking, halt; if sitting, rise, stand at attention and uncover.
 When flags are used in unveiling a statue or monument they should not be allowed to fall to the ground, but should be carried aloft t9 wave out: forming distinctive feature during the remainder of the ceremony. -
 When the flag is used out of doors it should be allowed to ily <in the breeze: when clusters and tlrapery- of colors are desired, bunting or cloth should be used, but never the flag.
 when na1lonal flag and state or other flags fly together, or are used in decoration together, the national flag should be on the right
 For indoor decorations the flag can only be used as a drapery. It cannot be used to cover a bench or table, desk or box, or where anything can be placed upon it.
 For indoor decorations the flag may be caught up in many artistic fashions and used with buntings, garlands, plants or flowers, but should never be placed below a person sitting.
 When used on a bier or casket at funeral, the stars should be placed at the head.
 In no case should the flag be allow ed to .toIIch the ground.
 TSfe- flag must not be, marred by advertisements ts or desecrated on the stage. e
 ]. It is an unwritten law in tho navy that the flag must never be washed. It is always to be considered i'm macu1ate.
 The. flag salute adopted by the \. S., D. A. R., military schools, Boy Scouts and other organizations, as well as being put into the schools of the country, is: "I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the republic for which 1t stands. One nation, indiyisib ible,t with liberty and justice for ali.'.

 The city was scene of quite a live ly excitement for few hours on Tuesday noon, occasioned by the re- port that search warrants had been issued for the seizure of liquors in the hotels and principal saloons, under the conhscation clause of the prohipifory statue known as the Maine liuucrs law. Warrants were placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Fillmore, Monday night for service and return Tuesday morning, bright and early, the sffer- if with posse of good looking police men appeared at several places in the city.

 Fine Cistern Dug By City
 North of the Northern Railroad de- pot on the West Side a large cistern has just been dug, under the superin- tendance of John Murphy, to supply the city with water from the cove in case of fire. This cistern is supplied by an eighth inch pipe, sunk three feet below low water mark, so that a constance supply of water is assured as at high water there will always be seven feet in the cistern and at low water three feet. The 1iggiCe of this cistern enable the city to give 'p the right of way to the river and the old road will at cnce be closed up by the Northern Railroad Co.
 Thanksgiving was observed in Nor wich in the old way. The boys set off their barrels as usual in the eve ming.

GREENEyILLE
Large Attendanee at Mems League Meeting-chimney Fire on Central Avenue-Personais and Notes,

The Mems league of the Federated church held their regular meeting Fri day evening in the churcL. President w. A. Lund presided. The regular routine of business was transacted. The reports of the secretary and the treasurer were read and accepted. Fol lowing the business session, the men joined in singing America There was a solo by MT. Lund and a piano se- lection by William Huher. Rev Sam uel That sher of Jewett City made the address of the evening and said in
 part:
 I hold in my hand something we all use, and of the common variety. It is just a. common penry pencil. It is so common that one finds them every where. they go, but to me it represents something beside a pencil. It repre- sents folks, just common folks, and God must have loved the common folks, because he made so many of them. Some folks are like pencils. They may be all painted and varnish- ed and fixed up, but rub it eff and lln- derneath you will find just the com nor variety. That should keep us humble so as not to magnify, our own good deeds and minimize the good things of others. Eecause we are common we need not be- cheap. If NC could corner a pencil market and hold 1t, men would be wiling to pay one uOlldr apiece TOT tile common variety. So men are common they should hold themselves to be worth some thing which takes them out of the cheap variety. I cree heard a fore man of a building concern say to the barnman: Be on the lookout. flor the horses; give them good care. harses cost money, but men are cheap" That feeling and idea Is gone. Even soul less corporations recognize 1t today and men are no longer cheap Men are composed of two parts, like a pen- cil-the outer and the inner, the phv- sical and the inner man, the spiritual should have a good house in which to dwell. The body is not the essential thing in man, but it should be big. clean and strong for the inner man to dwell
 The pencil has purpose and that is to make a mark. The man should nave a purpose and not drift without an ideal. His purpose is to make a mark-nothing- on earth or in hell can keep him from doing it. \ pencil is inefficient unless sharpened Every soul should he sharpened. Education will help. Men need something more than knowledge of books, and that is the knowledge of Jesus Christ ss the most efficient sharpener of souls The pencil has an eraser. Men make mis- takes, do things they should not do. They could not go up to the great God with all the mistakes and sins therefore the blood of Christ erases out the mistakes in life.
