Religion

ReLIgIOn
In cabin near MERGED, Calf,
Mrs. Ola Irene Harwell sat read
ing the Bible to her husband and
two small sons. In the Book of
Matthew, Chapter XVIII, she read
the eighth verse:
Therefore if thy hand or thy foot
offend thee cut them of and cast them
from thee; il is better for thee to enter
life halt or MANNED than having ttuo
hands or feet to be cast into everlasting
fire."
She read the ninth verse:
"And if thine eye offend thee pluck it
out and cast it from thee; it is better
for thee to enter into life Uith one eye
rather than having ttoo eyes to be cast
into hell fire."
Finishing, Mrs. Harwen picked up
her scissors, walked to the wood
shed and gouged out one eye, hacked
off one hand. Next day at a Mer-
ced hospital physicians said she
would live.

Miscellany

By seven o'clock one night last
week, Chicago's mammoth Soldier
field was filed with 100000 Utter
bugs come to enjoy a jam session.
Outside, as police closed the gates,
milled thousands of other swing ad-
diets who could not get in to hear
20 prominent dance orchestras or
watch amateur swingsters swing
it. The mob grew, stormed the
gates, tore across the carefully sod
ded turf where bedlam reigned I'M
til early next morning. When the
last of 200, 900 music-mad youngsters
had gone home, sad-eyed city Off
Gals found Soldier field needed re-
sodding, many other repairs.

dropped back to 1882 levels. His
figures: 1898 income would be
81, 500, 900, 900, against 1925 $4,328,-
100000. Not forgotten was the fact
that this years income is weighted
with government subsidies.
Already seeking new ways of boil
steering U. S. agriculture to a pre-
war status, Secretary Wallace left
for Montreal, there to discuss with
Canadians way of splitting the
world export market between North
Americas two nations. When he
gets back there will be more in
vestigation into the -Eicher
bill for price fixing and export de-
bentures, generally opposed on the
grounds that price fixing against
professors would place a new hid
den tax on consumers.
But next winter, when Farm Re-
lief is again thrown at congress,
there must be discussion of the only
panaceas yet remaining: export
subsidies, federal price fixing and
compulsory limitation.

PARKER WILL HOLD
COURT IN January
Resident Jurist To Return
For Criminal Session
On January 9

Judge r. Hunt Parker, Of Roanoke
Rapids, resident judge of the third
judicial district, in which Vance
county is located, will preside over
the weeks criminal session of Vance
Superior Court to convene here on
Monday, January 8, it was learned
today.
Judge Parker will hold this court
by reason of an exchange with Judge
Walter j. Bone, of Nashville, who is
to preside in the third district for the
first six months of 1882 He will have
two other sessions in his own right
after the January term.
Return of Judge Parker for the
January term will make four terms of
court, all criminal, two of them with
civil weeks following, held in this
county by Judge Parker within the
space of a year. He held a special
term here last February, then presid-
ed at the regular October session this
fall, and also at another special term
that was held last week. There are
two special terms for trial of criminal
cases in 1888, making a total of six
terms of court in this county for the
year. It was the first time in many
years a special term was held in
Vance.
The extra term last week was held
in an effort to clear up the criminal
docket, or as nearly SO as possible.
Ten cases were left, however, when
adjournment was taken Friday aft
ernoon. Seven others have been
added this week, and others will ac-
cumulate during the three weeks re-
naming before the regular January
session, so that there will probably be
a full weeks session next month.
There was the idea today that Judge
Parker has a pronounced hope of be-
ing able to clear the criminal docket
in Vance county once more. He likes
to hold court in Vance county, it is
understood. He once was a resident
OF Henderson while solicitor of the
district. He is known to be quite
popular with the people of the county,
and has always received a flattering
vote when before the electorate eth
er as judge or as solicitor.

Post Office
Rush Begins
On Mailings
Extra Help Added To
Take Care of Volume
of First Class and
Package Service

The Christmas rush was on in full
blast at the Henderson post office to-
day. Extra help has already been pro-
vided in order to expedite outgoing
and incoming mails as rapidly as pos
sible to the end that there may be no
undue delays and that tho greatest
degree of service may be afforded
patrons of the office.
The upsurge in business was reflect
ed in the great volume of outgoing
packages. This is expected to reach
its peak probably tomorrow. The in
coming volume is looked for in it's
peak on Thursday with a slight taper
ing off on Friday, and with the bulk
of the business cut of the way on
Saturday.
Greeting cards will longest the mails
shortly after mid-week, though there
is an apparent tendency on the part
of the public to mail these greetings
some earlier this year than usual.
Great quantities of them were placed
in the mails Monday and still larger
volumes today. That tide of greeting
cards is expected to continue its up
ward surge through Thursday, in
Guiding the incoming and outgoing
mail.
Letter carriers in the city and the
parcel post branch have Geen fur
nished with extra help where needed
and this is anticipated for most of the
o. the week
1t is understood there will be no
delivery of mails by the post office on
either Sunday, which is Christmas
day, or Monday, the day that will be
taken as the Christmas holiday. For
that reason, postal authorities here
are urging the local public to see to
it that their mailings are made as
early as possible so as to guarantee
delivery before Christmas day.
