Did it whistle and call and loudly trill, As if with music the whole world would fill 7 Did it coax, entreat then threaten and scold, With Ifotes as clear as from strings of pure gold ? Did it warble with voice clear as a bell Then ripple in tones like a brook in the dell? Die it tremble with joy. till its wonderful lays, Filled ail the moonlight and shadows with pfaise ? If you ne'er heard it's song at midnight hours, You know not the half of this dear bird of ours, When at night it keeps watch o'er its brood and nest, Our Southern Mock Bird is then at its > best. ? Lutie Cooke Foster in News and Observer, Wednesday 8th. * Evidently Mexico is satisfied nnu* that ulia hoa l>o<l in V A dollar endowment has been planned for Trinity College. A severe storm passed through the vicinity of Salisbury Wednesday doing much damage. We overheard someone say on the streets the other day they "had just as soon die with smallpox as vaccination." Four thousand bottles of booze were emptied into the French Broad river near Asheville Wednesday) morning by officials. It will be too late for a correction of the quarantine law after it has been tiied for awhile and has spread trouble broadcast. From the action of the State Board of Health you may have the smallpox ; or anything else you please so far as| they are concerned. Fou must have your little baby vaccinated or take chances of its having small pox.- The state refuses to protect it in any other way. The Legislature recognized the tact that the new quarantine law was not just when it provided that a countv could or could not l?.- ; , . ? "> ? " The decision of the State Board of Health in regard to small pox has met with a very unpopular reception i front the citizens of Franklin conn-! tj. ? , The tnan with a fall developed ; case of small pox has jast much! right to walk about the streets now ' as you have, so far as the State lawis concerned. At least the people should have] been warned a month or two before hand and given chance to be vacci-! nated one at a time before the new law was put into focce. YOU MAY HAVE SMALL POX.( At a meeting of the Board of Health of Franklin <?nnty held in * Louishur , Tuesday Dr. J. E. Malone, Superintendent of Health was , instructed to enforce the new law in regard to vaccination for small pox and to require all small pox patients and those who have beisu exposed t thereto to remain at hojtne until given ' < permission by him to leave. The entire new law may be a wise one and we hare no intention of expressing' a * lack of ooofidenoe in the opinions of any of the eminent physicians who garee with it, nevertheless we do not feel that it is a wiae step to do away with all restriction*. There are too many people who take a delight in spreading this or any other disease and there should be some way of restraining them. It may be that vaccination will positively prevent a person froia contrasting small pox out there are few people who would want a small pox subject walking around them if they had been vaocinated every year and, if it was possible, they had a guarantee to the effectiveness of the vaccination. There is a certain class of people who from sheer negligence, will never be vacoinated an 1 among these the disease will always he in evidence ?nd 5! the same time (hey will be aiiowed to go aroiimi with your children or yourself, atteud church i together ride on the cars by your ; side, and the one source of protec- < tion?vaccination, is not, according 1 to the public's way of thinking,-sufficient. This is a splendid protec- j I tion and everybody ebould be vacci- 1 luted, but when a person,has small | ppx he or she should bo shut up. j ^ ' ^^mmmmj i Mount Carmel Items 1 As youhaven't heard from us lately ] will send in a few Items.

The custom of making New Year's gifts has gone completely out of vogue among the people of tlw Culted States with the axceptlon perhaps olfehe very wealthy, who can afford to give on all. occasions. In France New Year's day. or Le Jonr d'Etrennes (literally, day of gifts), is the greatest day of the whole year. All France buys itself poor. The men are supposed to give bonbons and flow era to every lady upon whom they call, and Jan. 2 flnds women sick from eating sweetmeats nnd men sick from spending more than they could well afford, but the average Frenchman believes in the old observation that it la "all in a lifetime," or, according to our vernacular, that "Christmas (New Year In France) comes but once a year." The practice making presents on New Year's day was originated by the Romans and from them taken up by the Britons. When gloves were novelties and luxuries that every woman wanted, but not every one could afford, they were the customary gifts, often very handsome ones made of silk and decorated with gold traceries and. precious stones. Occasionally a sum of money was given instead of the gloves, the donor designating the gift as "glove money." Queen Elizabeth "was especially fond of stockings " as a New Year's gift. Sir Thomas More Vhen lord chancellor once decided a case in favor of a lady, who, to show her gratitude, sent I Sir Thomas n pair of gloves containing j lunj kuiu coins, ?ir i nomas returned I the gold with this note: "Mistress?| Since it were against good manners to' refuse your New Year's gift I am con-' tent to take your gloves, but as for-the j lining?1 utterly refuse it." When pins were first Invented and I brought Ninto use about the beginning of the sixteenth century they were highly prized as New Year's gifts. They, too. were made of very valuable) material?of gold and silver, as well as of the common metals. The money which had been expended in g'oves ~was then rn'ide use of for pins, and money given for the purchase of the new style gift was '-ailed "pin money.'* The term has gradually enlarged it? meaning, ami now the modsrt: girl speaks of her "pin money." but si:* buys all sorts of thin.r* with It and instead of receiving it friends .on'-e a year ohm In- it from "papa" one* a month ??r ope- ? week. y LIST YOUR TAXES The people oT\Lfcuisburg are hereby notified w>\all at the Clerk's office of jthe t<Ysm of Loui8trurg and list their tax?s> for 1911 I R.
