Morrison has called a special session of tne ueneral Assembly of North Carolina for December 6th. It Is- pecUIiar that he should wait until the very busiest time/ of the year to call it together, when it would be eas ily possible for him to set a date that would be more convenient for every body. The latest thing in law suits we have seen is a case in Salisbury where a Mrs. Melissa J. Woodington is suing W. A. Hoseman, a merchant of that city, for -10.000 for selling her hus band flavoring extracts, wtilch caused him to neglect and beat her. Mer chants who handle extracts had bet- 1 ter take warning It is to be hoped the Commissioners will mate an effort to get the road question in Franklin County settled at once so that the roads may be taken over by the State Highway.

There is hardly anv oues tion about these organizations being tire biggest blessings The Mfthern far mer has ever received. EWiry other business in the United States, and in tact in the world, is organized except the farmer. This fact mafTes it abso lutely necessary for the Tarmer to or ganize to protect his interests. There are two things about Mr. Hill's actions In rfefcartl to the roads in Franklin County that the people do not understand, if he is quoted prop erly. The first is: why i? It that the Nashville road cannot be taken over because it was not in good shape to the County line, while the Halifax roads, under the resolution, stops at Centreville. five or six miles from the County line Second. Why is it that the condition of the Halifax road has nothing to do with-it s being taken ov er. and is spoken of as a construction, project, while the Nashville* road is required to lie put in first da?s shape before it can be accepted? It seems only a matter of justice that the- same condition* that would apply to one should also apply to the other. fOTHFRS siior "Mi MIArf RoXK Till. IK IMI'tf^HTFRS |\ Al'TOS.

Not only do you let me have a banquet wtthln your lovely petals, but yoi might leave me to find It myself, which In time I would do, but you help me by showing me the way." "Well," said the Iris. "I don't think It would be very polite If I said : " "Come to dinner. Bee,' and then didn't show you the way to the dining room. "If people went out to dinner and the host or hostess Tei them find their own way to the dining room without leading the way I don't think It would be so very polite. ?

Honey,, as you know, is so very sweet." "Oh. Bee, how Tve always admired you and your family for the fine hone^r you make!" "But you help us so much," said the.. Bee. "Without .yon we couldn'2 make such fine honey. Indeed, we couldn't. "Your sweetness is so lovely and helpful. An<5. 'oh. lovely Iris, you are so beautiful." "I'm grateful to you for saying so." said the Iris. "We are sometimes known as the Blue Ftag flower and sometime known as the Fleur-de-lis, which is the flower of France.

"But do alt down." said the hog* creature, "and so your necks won't break or feel as though they were breaking off. I'll call for the raised chairs and the raised banquet table.** Another goug sounded and the boy and the girl upon sitting down on two chairs that were put by them, found that they were being raised up so that they didn't ha?e to strain their necks to look at the huge creatnre.

The huge creature spoke to th? night watchman again, and some more of the roof seemed to be removed quite easily?- He evidently btd A ftUB of able workmen. They had the sky now above them aud they taw that they were sitting In one of the up stairs banquet halls, for they had left the things behind them which they had seen downstairs except their com panions and the banquet table. "How about your feet?" asked the , boy, who had suddenly thought the huge creature's feet and legs must be very much cramped. "Thank you. they're feeling all right," . said ihe^buge creature; "Just see I" The boy and the girl looked under ' the table and they saw that there was an opening through the floor left for him. and that his long legs had all the room they wanted. "I have so much to explain." said the huge creature. "In the first place, boy and girl, do eat your soup. You ran listen as you do so." They began to eat their soup which had ufown from a little bit of s<>up In a very small cup to a good deal of soup in a soup dish. "Delicious soup," said the girl, po litely. "That's good," said the huee crea ture. "Now, to go on with my *tnry, the great banquet table which isrew from trays, and the big quantity of food is Just a way trays and fo<*l and banquets have of doing at the Hos pitality Hotel.- Where creatures are hospitable, where they love to er.ter taln their friends. It is surprising how things will grow ? or we'll f?*el they grow. "We are giv#?n special power of mak ing things grow because we've been here so long a time. But you'll no'lce, boy and girl, that the friends you have who are hospitable and who *hare what they have with you. always ^em ;o be bigger, and their homes s^em bigger, and their food seems more than with the inhospitable people.
