agSppBgBBa?iatiWWBW FRANKLIN TIMES A. F. JOHNSON. Editor and Muagtr Friday. July 28. 1911. Elizabeth, Aged Nine. . Out of the way in a corner Of out dear, old, attic room, Where bunches of herbs from the hillmde Shake ever u sweet perfume, An oaken chest is standing? With hasp and padlock and key? Strong aa the hands that made it, . I On the other side of the sea. ^Btyhen the winter days are dreary, And we're out of heart with, life, -i Of its crowding carea^are weary And sick of its restless strife, *. I We take^ Ijfessou in patience From thelattic corner din. Where the oW chest holds fast its treasure, .! A warder dark and grim. Robes of an antique fashion? Lace and linen and silk? That time has tinged with saffron, , . Thqugh once they were white as milk; .^Wonderful b?by garments, 'Broidered with loving care By fingers that felt the pressure As they wrought the ruffles rare. A sword with the red rust on it, That flashed in the battle tide, When from Lexington toYorktown, Sorely men's hearts were tried; A plumed chapeau and a buckle, And many a relic fine; Framed in by berry and vine. Faded the square of canvas, Dim iB the silken thread? But I think of the white hands dimpled. Ana a cniiatsti, sunny Head; For here in cross and tent stitch, In'a wreath of berry and vine. She worked it a hundred years ago, "Elizabeth, aged nine." In and out in the sunshine. The little needle Hashed, And out and in on the rainy day When the sullen drops down plashed, As close she sat by her mother? The little l'uritan maid? And did her piece on the sampler Each morn before she played. You are safe in the crystal heavens, "Elizabeth, aged nine," But you and your share of troubles, Sharper than any of mine. The gold-brown hair with sorrow Grew white as drifted snow. And your tears fell here, slow."Staining This-very plumed chapeau. When you put it away, its wearer . Would never use it more? ^BBy a sword-thrust, learning the secrets God keeps on yonder shore. But you wore your grief like a glory, Not yours to yield supine, _ Who wroughrin your patient childhood, "Elizabeth, aged nine." Out of the way in a corner. With hasp and padlock and key, Stands the oaken chest of my father's. That eaine from over-the sea. Ths hillside herbs above it Shake odors faint and fine, And here on its lid is a garland To "Elizabeth, aged nine." For love is of the immortal, An/4 nafinnpa ia siiKllm# And trouble's a thing of every day That toucheth every time; And childhood, sweet and sunny, Oh womanly truth and graee. In the dusk of the way light torches And cheer earth's lowliest place. ?Margaret E.

Cooke has leased the store room next, to Beagley- Alston Drug Company and will move in on August 1st. , ?The attention of our readers is called to the change of adv. of Candler-Croweli Co., in this issue.

Mr. Beasley~the former oarrier informs as he will probably go to Apex in the near future. ?The new cottages of Mrs. Lee 1 Battle en Baker Heights has just , been completed. This adds much to ( this section whjph is one of the most i desirable residential portion of I Louisburg. The town will soon have ' water and sewerage in this section | and the conveniences will be complete. Let others who own lots up there build tbem up. ?There are times in the work of a i newspaper man when he must be i controlled by his svmpathies for the innooent ones in the publication of news. This paper bows to the iiiev- j itable in such cases and is willing to i accept the critioism ot some if good 1 is accomplished and aohing hearts are saved further pain. ?No one is obliged to live where he is not suited. If one hasn't an encouraging word for the business enterprise and?institutions of bis , town, be should shut up and "go 'way baok and sit down," If things ' don't suit you, move to where they ! will. A growler and sorehead in a j town is an enterprise killer every time. It would pay a town to donate him $5 and tell him to move. ?Florists say that some flowers when made into bouquets together will wilt in a very short time. Roees flnd mirrnAnoffo fnw ovomnln oor* destructive to eaeh otber that they will not last through a dinner. It is possible that the sweet scent of flowers was onoe a deadly odor which killed other plants likely to grow in the same soil, and thus protected the plant giving it out. ? We call yonr especial attention j to ttie change of advertisement of I Egerton'e big little store itrthis issue. He informs us that bis clearance sale last week was a greater success than he had expected and that he was going to continue it awhile longer anyway, therefore'dre nas placed many otber articles on sale at greatly reduced prices. Read his advertisement and see what he has to say. I ?Vernon Godfrey, of Elizabeth City, arrived the past week to take a position as registered diuggist with the Beasley-Alston Drug Co., to fill the vacanoy caused by Mr. I-ee having to leave for his former borne in Dunn for his health. Mr. Lee made many frienug here who will regret to 1 .? -i - ? ' ??! learn 01 ine aepartore ot nimsrnt j and his good wife. Mr. Vernon | comes highly recommended aa a folly capable yonng inan and we extend to him a most cordial welcome ' to oar town. ?Don't gramble. The most anfortunate class of people living npon this green earth are the grumblers. They rob home of its joys, society of its dues, and themselves of the btst things of life. - From the days the children of Israel "grumbled" and were sent on their tedious wanderings "for forty years in the wilderness," up to the present hour the world has been full of grumblers. It is "too hot" or "too cold," "too wet" or "dry." People iif reasonable circumstances have visions of the poor house, while the rich grumble that they Can't get rich faster. ?Bill Nye had .the truth well told when he said: "A uian may use a wart on the back of his neck for a collar button, rue in the back coach of a railroad truin to save interest on his money till the oonductor gets around, stop his watch at night to save wear and tear, leave his "i" or 1 "t" without a dot or cross to save ink, pasture his mother's grave to save corn, but a man of this sort is a gentleman and a scholar compared to the fellow that will take a newspaper two or three years and when asked to settle for it puts it into the postoffice a id has it marked "refused." .

Johnson on Court street and will make Louisburg his future home.

Narrow Escape From Death Nashville, July 26.?During a severe thunder storm here Mr. Wallace Batch elor had a narrow escape from being killed by lightning.
