The Grand Jury completed their work on Wednesday morning and after hand ing in the following report they were discharged with the thank* ofthe court. To Hon. f. M.

We also rec ommend that those cells now in un, be repsjred in the best manner possible. We think ^hat every broken bar in these cells should be entirely removed, and replaced with now ones. We. also recommend that a toilet be placed In the new <?ell, when purchased, in order that desperate criminals may be prop erly accommodated, withoat allowing them the use of the halls between the calls.

Before the bridal party arrived Miss Mary Dunn, consin of the bride, from Henderson, rendered several selections Mi the organ and Miss Elizabeth I tai lings sang "Because" in a very charm ing manner.

Then entered tha maida ef honor, Hiaaaa Virginia Lon* and Laila Reams, of Rocky Mount, gowned in blue meaaalin with pearl* trimming* carrying a bou quet of ptek carnations. Tha bride dressed in ? traveling rait of blue with glovea and hat t* switch carrying a ?hower bouquet of blliee roses, entered on the arm of her brother, ' Dr. K. M . Parry, of Leuisborg, who gave her away, They were met at the altar by tha ijroom and beat man, Dr. B. C. John eon, of Bunn. The church waa beautifully decorated with svertreens and white.

The ladies of the Daughter* of the Confederacy gave a dinner at the ar mory on Tuesday from which they rea lised nearly $50. Quite a large num ber gave them their patronage and the effort* of the ladiea was crowned with siccea*. Number of Delqirates For the benefit of the eeveral Candi da tesand the publio we publish below the number uf voum each mwnghtp Is en titled to in the coming convention as given ua by the secretary of the execu tive committee: Dunns 8, Harris 8, Youngsville ft, Franklinton 13, Hayavi'le 8, Sandy Creek 7, Gold Mine 6. Cedar Rock. 12, Cypress Creek 8, Louisburg 15. Civic League. The Civic League held a regular meeting in the Masonic hall on yester day morning. Aside from the adop tion of the constitution and by-laws no special business was transacted. Sev eral committees were represented and although thev made no official report mskiy enthusiastic diRcntsions were en joyea. The ladies declare they are in earnest and it begins to look as if they i are surely going to have a cleaner and better town, and we hope they will be successful with their work. Although no official action was taken we leara they have already gotten matters in shape whereby the cemetery will be turned oyer to the town and many ad ditional and substantial improvements will be made. Let everybody lend a helping hand to the ladies, as they are surely "bringing things about" ia this work and deserve the help and com mendation of all. The Only Exception. When a man is making a fight for the nomination for an office he is making that a business and expects to profit if nominated and elected. When he has articles written and published in his behalf or by a friend it is expected that it will assist him in gaining this profit. Just so with the merchant who adver tises hfs wares. Therefore the paper who publishes same without pay is not dealing fair with its regular patrons. We hare come to believe that if our advertising space is of benefit to mer chants it is of equal benefit to oandi- > dates, therefore we have decided that | it is nothing but just and proper that j they shonld pay for the space used the ] same as any other advertiser. So with- 1 out regard to either person or objeet we propose to charge for all adytrtise mg matter and our columns are open j for such to all. However there ia one exception to,, this rule. We feel duty bound through our love for home , to enter the field and take up the part of a home man for public office in a contest that reaches out of the county. This is the one and only case wherein we can see that a newspaper that has the interest of the people at heart and bas any regard for fairness, is called upon to enter the fight for any candidate before a con vention without pay fer the services rendered. In <]uestions.of this kind the Tinas misleads no one a it bas always stated that in any and all eases before the primaries it makes its uauat charges for articles advancing the candidacy of ?? alky o?>e. ?

Misses Kstelle King, of Baltimore, and Lillian Allen, of Kentucky, who have been visiting Mrs. F. H. Battle, returned to Littleton the past .week where they are teaching in Littleton Female College. Surprise Marriage. The many friends of the contracting parties were taken by much surpuse when the announcement was made that on Menday ?ight about 9 o'clock Miss Bettie Barker Boddie, of this place, and Mr. Joseph W. Mann, of Nashville, left Louisburg for Franklinton by auto mobile in company with a few intimate friends and were married at the Metho dist parsOnkg^" tTTere by Rev W. rW. Rose." Both A the young people are weli known and haye scores of friends through Louisburg and Franklin county who will extend congratulations and good wishes. The bride is the daugh ter of the late Willis Boddie,. one of the county's most successful citisens, and whose iamily occupy a prominent posi tion ? in the social life of ? Louisburg. She was a young woman with a charm ing disposition and a pleasing person ality, which has made for her friends of all, acquaintances. The groam is the son of the late Dr. J. J. Mann, of this county, whose reputation as a physi cian was more than state-wide. He is a promineat insurance man in Nash ville and has won many friends in his busiaese dealings ia that town. We join their many friends here in extending congratulations. In Memorial. .Some one has said, "It is not enough to know a thing, but we must know that we know it." To mj mind this is good doctrine Yet, there is a vast difference in knowing a thing theoret ically aad having a practical application of the truth taught therein. In our day there ia litt e but what a man full of energy can comprehend theoretically. Some haye even theorised about death and the judgment. Yet, no man can know the hold which an Innocent babe has upon Its mother's heart, nor how .. r. ' - great the ?hook when the cold hand of death men such a anion, tf for only ? little while. Laara Burwell Jones was born May 21,1911. About that time maoT hill ?idea ware made beautiful, by naturae touch, aa the wild flower* filled every nitch with their foil blown fragrance and all around teemed vocal with praise to God. Yet, ne other flower was eo ?we?t to them ae the tiny little roe* bulb that began then to nnfold it* little petals In t.he home of Laura Egertoa and Jeeeph Jones. From the Unit, she was only a tiny little plant and grew but little stronger through all the months, till Mtrch IS, 1812. He who levee little children' with an infinite love, transplanted her into the great flower garden above. There she will become a full blewn roue and her heavenly fragrance will be a balm for bleediag hearts and weary feet of loved onee left behind. All that hnmaa hands could do for her was done oa earth but oar Heavenly 'Father needed'' her up there. Twice oar friends have been thus bereaved. They now kaye two in heaven and one on earth. No we don't understand it no, but by and by, "We shall see as we are seen and know as we are known." Till then may. God's grace abound towards the stricken parents and may heaven be their eternal home. G. W. Stabling. ' In Memorlam. On March 28th, 1912,- after a brief illness follewing a stroke of paralysis, Mrs. India Debnam departed this life, to enter upon the greater life beyond. Mrs. Debnam was the widow of the late Sim Debnam, and these were the parents of fifteen children, eleven of whom are now living. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Debnam, by hon est toil and industrious habits managed to provide well for her family. She was a consistent, faithfal mem ber of White Levei church, and the . funeral sorvieoo wefe Sendeeied at her home by her pastor. Rev. J W. Sledge, on March 31st. The great throng of neighbors and friends present, attested the high esteem in which she was held. T. H. S. ? * Pope's Items Miss Minta Conyers'has beet, visiting friends and relatives near Pope's for several days. Mr. Billie Confers* hart~a runaway Sunday near Needmbce. His horse be came frightened at a motorcycle and turned liis buggy over throwing him out and two ladies, but neither were seriously hurt. ' Mr. E. J Moore spent Sunday with itr. W. A. Fuller near Pope's. The people are very busy iust now on their farms and our people are nearly up with their work in spite of the bad weather. Several people near Pope's have planted cotton and many others will in a. few davs if they can let politics alone. Politics is all the talk now. We must talk less and do more to elect good, moral, pure, intelligent officers in our county. G. H. P. A. B. Wester for Legislature. The voters of Franklin county will be called on in the near future to decido who shall be their representative in the Le islature of 1913. This is always a matter of great -"importance to the county, but in this year when we shall have no member of the Senate resident in pur county It is imperative that we send our best nan. In order that a representative may bo worth anything two things aro necessaiy, first he must know what to do and second he must have the moral courage to stand for right. __ . ' Mr. Wester was born In Franklin county and has never lived beyond its borders. He knows our poople in all parts of theeoanty and in every walk of life. He spent his boyhood on the farm and is still engaged in this business though he has at different times been interested in mercantile and other bus iness pursuits. His experience has brought him in contact with every in terest of our poople and given him op portunity to learn their viewa and needs as few men-inow them From his boyhood to the present time he has lived an- honest, honorable Chris tian life. His life has demonstrated the fact that he believes in "a square deal" to every man. 7 Bis priyato character is ivko^e reproach. Strictly sober in his habits, above even suspicion of possibility of being moved by graft ami bribery and other things of that kiad, bow could we find a bet ter man. J B. W. BALtAKD. * ??? : ?
