Clouds of double thickness overcast the sky last Thursday and the light of day was nearly blotted out, shortly after two o'clock. The superstitious believed that we had run right into Halley's comet and that the day of judgment was at hand. The lold est people living in Weldon don't recall as dark a day before.

The follow ing from the social and personal columns of the Times-Dispatch, of the lOth, will be read with much interest by Halifax county friends, Mrs. Phillips formerly being Miss Maude Gregory, of Halifax: "Mr. and Mrs. Louis Phillips, of Newport News, have gone to Maryland, where Mr. Phillips will take the rest cure at a private san atorium. Later they will leave for Europe to spend about a year trav eling on the continent." Spring Fishermen. -The spring fever usually strikes us just about time for the dogwood tobloom.and then we begin to think of spring fishing. The Charlotte Observer noting the signs of the times, says: "This is the time of the year when fishermen begin to dream of their summer expeditions to the limpid streams or the ponds where they catch the wary trout or his more sluggish brothers. Spring weath er brings back memories of the catches last year the lloafing and the free-and-easy lunch after the catch. The man who hasn't the loafing fishermen's instinct in him ami does not feel his nature stirred a: the approach of spring is to be pitied." Court Next Monday. The March term of Halifax Superior Court will begin next Monday the 2 1st, with Judge George H. Ward, of Elizabeth City, presiding. Court will be held in the new court house and this fact alone will attract many visitors to Halifax Monday. The most important case on the State docket is that of State vs. E. E. Powell, on a charge of mur der. The county commissioners will tmet at Halifax today to receive t'le new court house at the hands of the contractors. It is a splendid building, a matter of county pride for every citizen in Halifax, and it has ample capacity for the seating of a very large crowd. "1 he Village Tragedy." This is a poem by Miss Pattie Wil liams Gee, daughter of the late Dr. Charles J. Gee, of this place. Miss Gee has written several poems of marked merit. Her volume of verses einitled, "Palace of the Heart," made its appearance sev eral years ago and received appre ciative recognition in complimenta ry press notices North and South. Miss Gee is a North Carolinian, a daughter of the grand old county of Halifax, where she still has nu merous relatives and friends. She is ardently attached to her native State and her "Ode to Carolina," was extensively noticed and copied at the time it was published. Miss Gee makes her home at Hasbrouck Heights, N. J., and in loving mem ory of her old home on the Roa noke she has named her home in New Jersey, "Roanoke Cottage." Halley's Comet. Look out for Halley's comet. It is now coming with a great rush and may be seen with an ordinary field glass near the sunset line of the horizon. Soon it will be seen with the naked eye, and about May 1 8th, it will be at its greatest brilliancy. The latest predictions are that it will strike the earth about May 18th, yet this need not alarm any one. The only effect it will have will be to cause a meteoric display, per haps, such as was seen in 1833. Comets may come and comets may go, but this old world will roll on still. "Let not your hearts be troubled, for, lo, I am with you, alway, even until the end of the world," is the substance of what our Saviour said to his followers, and it is good scripture for us to day. Will Speak at Halifax. W. L. Spoon, highway engineer of North Carolina, will speak at Hal ifax Monday the 2 1 st, on the ques tion of good roads. This is a mat ter of vital importance to every citizen of Halifax county and doubtless a large crowd will be in attendance. Monday will be the first day of Halifax Superior court and the assembling of the first ses sion of court in the new court house. The subject of good roads is Hiiracting attention all over the county. It is a m uter ot stupen dous interest to the State, to every community and to those who shall come after us. The matter of get ting a large crowd to hear Mr. Spoon Monday is being agitated by Frank Shields at Scotland Neck, Eugene Johnston, of Littleton, John L. Patterson, of Roanoke Rapids, Dr. A. S. Harrison, at En field, and W. E. Daniel and Geo. C. Green, of Weldon, and others of various places in the county. The people are deeply interested in this question and we trust that every one will talk the matter up. Tell your neighbors about th? great meeting at Halifax Monday and be sure to attend yourself.

Winston having reported to the North Car olina Historical Commission that he has raised sufficient funds with which to procure a marble bust of the late Senator Matthew W. Ran som and placed the amount at the disposal of the commission, that body has awarded a contract to F. W. Ruckstuhl, the distinguished sculptor of the bust of Governor William A. Graham recently placed in the rotunda of the State house. The artist has been asked to have the bust completed in time to have it unveiled in one of the niches of the iState house rotunda during the session of the next Legisla ture. Turn About is Fair Play. Said a well known business man to us the otherday:"It would not hurt you to occasionally mention our business in the paper. It would help to fill up, you know." Yes, we might do it. We haven't the least idea on earth that it would hurt us, and it would, as he sug gests, help to fill up. We might do all this, but at the same time thank God, we do not have to do it, unless we feel like it. It would not hurt him, either, to come around and say: "Give me a col umn of space for an advertisement and here is the money for it." By doing this he would become a deserter to that grand army of dead-heads who expect ths news papers to continually note the im provements they make, by giving them free puffs, and for which they never pay a cent. It is high time for all classes to learn that a news paper is a business enterprise, the same as a dry goods store or a grocery, run for a living for its owner. "-Gaftney, (S. C.,) Led ger. With Mrs. J. L. Shepherd. The Book Glub spent a very de lightful afternoon with Mrs. J. L. Shepherd at her home in South Weldon Wednesday last. The hall, parlors, and dining room were all elaborately decorated in ferns, red carnations and shaded lights. Miss Ella Shepherd, of Richmond, assisted the hostess in receiving the guests. A very interesting paper "Glimpses Into the Life and Works of James Whitcomb Riley," was read by Mrs. Wilkins. "A Hoosi- er's Romance," by Mrs. 0. W. Pierce; and "Knee Deepin June," by Mrs. W.L.

I shut down lending it to him and coaxed him to try it a year. And here is a few little items that hap pened last week out our way. I thought they'd look good in the paper and so I just jotted them down today. And here's a basket of apples my wife picked expressly for you; and here's a pumpkin fom Jennie she thought she must send something, too. You're gcttin' out a mighty good paper, as all our family agree; just keep your old goose quill a flappin' and give bad men a good one for me. And now seeing you are busy, I won t be takin' up your time, I've things of my own to 'tend to good day, sir, I must be gwine." Fayette City (Pa.) Journal. ATLANTIC COASTLINE HOTEL. This Noted Old Building to Be Torn Down Official Notice (iiv en That It Must (io lune 1st. The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company has notified the lessees of the Atlantic Coast Line hotel at this place that about June 1st the company will begin to tear down and remove the old landmark. The hotel is now in charge of Mr. C. D. Cherry, who has been making qui:e a success of it since he took charge, a little more than twelve months ago. The removal of the old building becomes necessary on account of certain changes to be made in the tracks when the new route is com pleted from Weldon andGarysburg and the erection of the union pas senger station. The Atlantic Coast Line hotel is said to be the second largest frame building in North Carolina. The erection of this building was first started by President Byrd, of the Petersburg and Weldon Railroad, and was completed later by Moody & Jarratt. It is a building with a history and has had some notable proprietors during its existence. Among the well known men who have at vari ous periods been in charge of this bnilding, may be mentioned the late Dr. G. W. Blacknall, who was for years proprietor of the Yarbo-1 rough House, in Raleigh. Later it was in charge of the Happers, Major T. L. Entry and others. In more recent years it was known as the Davis House, run by Colonel Davis up to the time of its sale to the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company. The railroad people put Mr. Mann in charge and all trains stopped here for meals. Mr. Mann was succeeded by Mr. Gaul, who was quite popular with the travelling public. Several years ago the Atlantic Coast Line leased the property to Gresham and oth ers. Mr. C. I. Gresham was suc ceeded by Mr. L. T. Brawner.who remained in charge only a few months, and then, on account of rheumatism he sold out to Cherry and others, who have been in charge since. Some notable social functions have been held at this old hotel at various times. Brilliant germans, in which the beauty, grace and chivalry of several States have par ticipated; banquets, private theatri cals; meetings, etc. Weldon has for some years felt the need of a first class hotel of modern construction, but as longas the present building was maintain ed as a hotel, no one was willing to risk money in anew enterprise. But the removal of the building, which is now a certainty, official notice having been given, it be comes absolutely necessary that steps be taken at once towards the erection of a nice brick hotel. This is an important point and a new and conveniently arranged hotel will attract the travelling public. Those interested in the proposed new hotel should begin to look around for a site and begin work as early as possible. Millinery Opening.

Tlie ii-unoii why sonic towns grow is because (hero are men of push and enrrtry in them, who are not afraid to spend their time and monov to boom their towns. They erect substantial buildings, organize stock com panies and establish factories, secure railroads, work for pub lic improvements and use every means in their power to induce people to locate iu their city. Wherever they go they tell of the advantages of their city, they write about them in every letter, they send circulars and newspapers to all whom they think they can get to visit their city, and when any one visits them they treat him so kindly that he falls in love with them and their city at once, it is enterprise and everyone pull ing together that makes a pro gressive town. Ex. To be 'I liiED by Short Maid. Choose the tall color schemes. Pink makes a woman look taller, while red nukes her look shorter. Brown shortens, but white length ens. Black detracts from the height, but light rcun add:; to it. Don't wear a tlat hat. The bat tleship hat is becoming to short women. Be sure that it has the upturned side and the tall crown. Tall hats arc for the short wo men, but she mustn't wear the tall square or the round cheesebox hats. She must select something high, irregular and graceful. Don't dress your hair wide if you are very short. Avoid the very stout type of wo man. You will be dwarfed. Keep away from tall hanging portiers. Choose draperies and hangings in case you must stand close to them for any length of time that are curved or draped rather than those that fall with Greek simplicity. But women can put it all over men when it comes to looking in terested when they are not. HER PHYSICIAN APPROVES Taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Siibattiis, Maine.
