for a good many clerks to be released

do this much for the cause.
At the next meeting of the county
commissioners the question ot fitting
the Court House with fire proof

hoped that the matter will be favor
ably reported. The public records

erally, tp call upon his best girl. He
ascepded the steps, rang the bell, and
was ushered into the pailor, where
he proceeded to make himself com
fortable while awaiting his lady friend.
The" lady was somewhat delayed, and
our young friend wasdeep in bliss
ful dreams ere she made her appear
ance, but on her arrival all fancies
were dispelled and realisms were
alone to be thought of. After rising
to greet his hostess, Mr. Johnson re
sumed his seat in a luxurious rocking
chair, but, sad to relate that chair
was not well balanced, hence, as Mr.
Johnson threw himself back, the bet
ter to test its easy motion, there was
a smothered shriek, a confused ap
pearance of frantically extended arms
and legs, then Mr. Johnson, after a
most gracefully executed backward
summersault, landed upon an oil
painting that adorned an easel imme
diately behind his chair. Never did
montebank more gracefully pass
through a paper covered hoop than
did Mr. Johnson slip through the
canvas of that picture. To say that
he was confused when he rose, with
picture frame around his neck and a
bit of easel in either hand, is putting
it too mild; he was too full for utter
ance, and after treeing himself from
the debris and muttering a few words
of apology he made his escape and
went home to think the matter over
and try to devise some means by
which he could make good the dam
age done.

The Wilson Metliodist Episcopal
Sunday School has. been sadly be
reaved in the death of Mrs. T. N.
Gibbons. By her enthusiastic inter
est in the Sunday school, manifested
by her punctuality and active work
she, during her residence among us,
became a large factor in the success
of the Sunday school interests of the
hurch at this place. She, was a
teacher intelligent, capable, warm
learted and consecrated. But she is
gone! one has joined the great arm)'
of Sunday school workers "beyond
the river.
Therefore, we, the Wilson Metho-
list Episcopal Sunday school, while
owing to the will of our Great
eacher, give public expression to our
great Joss, we point with loving pride
to the character of our sister which
yet lives among us. We commend
the husband and -little ones to the
God of all comfort and recommend
that this paper be spread upon our
records and a copy be sent to - our
church andtown papers lor publica

Where Arf They?
Some time ago the county com
missioners authorized the laying of
a brick pavement along the Nash
street front of the Court House
Square. Why has it not been done.'
There are plenty of laborers wanting
work and Mr. Lucas is anxious to
supply the brick. Why then is not
the matter attended to? Then, too,
in regard to the pavement around
tha''Cobb" building. We are relia
bly informed that the owners of the
property have agreed to pay their
part of the expense of laying this
much needed walk. This corner is a
disgrace to any town, and when it
only lacks a little energy on the part
of the proper officials to put it in
good order, it is reasonable for the
citizens to ask "Why is it not fixed?
For what have we hired you?"
: K.lCTtric Time Ilecen.
Mr. Geocge Gehe, of New York,
representing the Western Union Tel
egraph Company, was in town last
week, and succeeded in placing six
electric clocks. These machines are
quite unique in their construction
They are connected with the Western
Union wires and can be so arranged
as to correct themselves every hour
by meridian time at Washington
thus giving an absolutely correct time
piece. They also wind themselves
thus avoiding all chance of running
down and trouble to the owner
Wilson is up to the time in this line
but woefully backward in many-other
respects.
A Jumping Match.
A few ot the boys started a jump
ing match in front of The Advance
Saturday evening. It was not many
minutes betore a large crowd had
gathered to see them perform. Mr.
Banks, of insurance fame, had suc
ceeded in jumping away from all the
other boys and was feeling himself
right much, when our new doctor
quietly remarked that, although he
was an old married man, that Tie
could beat anything that had been
done so far. Of course he was urged
to try his hand, or rather feet, and
finally consented. He stepped back
and took a look at his task, and then
went at it. W hen he rose in tne air
it could only be likened to the free
leap of a bullfrog and when he
landed a good foot beyond the out
side mark the boys put on their
coats and walked away. They didn't
even stop to ask the doctor what
kind ot springs he used in his legs.
Tlu Dos.
Last Sunday afternoon, a number
of citizens were sitting in front of the
Briggs House, when their attention
was drawn to the number of dog
that were playing in the street. Th
question was raised, "Do all thes
dogs pay tax." This is a very per
tinent question. Out of the six or
eight dogs, then in sight, only one
wore a collar and it was the natur
infetence that, that one was the only
tax payer in the crowd. If any dog
is to be taxed, then all should be
taxed, and those whose owners are
unwilling to pay for, the town authori
ties should destroy.
