It seems hard to get the cotton picked before winter sets in. i The year 1910 is rapidly draw- j ing to a close as you may have ob- j served by reference to the calendar upon the wall.

Worthen, the new general superintendent of the Southern Division of the Western Union Telegraph Company, with headquarters in Atlanta, was with the Sefboard Air Line, at the "block office" here, some years ago and was considered a splendid operator.

Weldon peo ple were somewhat surprised to find the earth covered with snow Sunday morning. It was the first snow, of any consequence, for the season. December is usually a good month, and is kind to holiday shoppers, but this year it is giving us a taste of real winter and old Santa Claus can probably come with his sleigh and reindeers to pay his annual visit to the good little children.

The la-, dies of Grace Church held a most successful bazaar for the benefit of the church last Friday and Saturday In connection with the bazaar was the naming of a pretty and stylish ly dressed doll. The doll's name was placed in an sealed envel ope. All of the well known names including the doll's name was printed on a card, such names as Mary, Sally, Parmelia, Jennie, Pauline, Olga, Hortense, Helen, etc., etc. You paid five cents a guess as to which of the names had been given the doll. The doll was contributed to ihe bazaar by Mrs. W. M. Cohen;and Miss Jen nie Tilghman named it, and she i named it "Jennie." John O.Drake , was the man who had faith in the ! ! name of "Jennie" and he named ! the doll. The naming of the doll ' put $10.50 in the treasury of the bazaar. An amusing feature was ' the auction Friday night of the j masquerading girls. W. H. Joy ner, of Garysburg, w as auctioneer and there was some lively bidding The successful bidders not only found that they had secured a real bargain in the fair masquradcr, but along with the pretty girl was thrown in a dainty lunch and all enjoyed the occasion very much. The auctioneer, himslf, was axious to secure several of the fair 'masks' but the other young men present outbid him at every turn. The ladies realized quite a hand some net profit from ihe fancy work and good things, eatables.and desire to return thanks to all whom anyway contributed to the success of the bazaar.

Zollieotter, of this town, who has been leader of the Laymen's movement for the past two years, was not a candidate for re-election. Miss Bays in her report of his work, in ihe News and Observer, says: "He has given himself; ! earnestly and untiringly to this j ; work. He has alo given liberally ; "f his means in older to advaue; the work during the past year, : there having been no provision ! made for the expenses of the lead-1 er to be met during the year. Dr. j ZollicoH'er has travelled thousands of miles in the interest of the work; has attended every district confer ence in the conference, but one; has visited churches in every dis trict and has delivered a large number of addresses in the inter est of the work of the Laymen's Movement, which has for its ob ject the evangeliaiion of ihe world in this generation.

A large crowd was in attendance j Monday, and the people at once i feel in love with their splendid new court house. The building i was delightfully heated by steam j throughout and on such a raw, dis-' agreeable day it proved a blessing to all who had to attend court. : The State docket showed 04 cases when court opened. There were ; quite a number of "blind tiger" j cases. ,The docket showed three j murder cases. D. H. Smith, the Weldon tele-, graph operator, who made an as- j sault upon another operator named Kose, wuli a hilliaru cue, was let oft light, by paying one-half of the cost in the case. E. B. Clark, a young lawyer of Weldon who is I located at Halifax, appeared for Smith and managed the case well. i M atrimony. Matrimony is the ! joint stock company which a min ister promoteth as a side line and a law yer throweth into bankruptcy with a feminine stockholder as the preferred creditor. j It is the boot which induces a ; girl to swap a hundred-dollar sala-' ry for a forty dollar man. 'Tis a ; neckyoke which maketh two col lars to chafe as one. Matrimony is ascribed to soften-! ing of the brain or heart, or purse ' itch. Exactly what causeth it, the ; Lord only knoweth, but time will tell when it is loo late. The benefits of matrimony are many (saith the promoter). Through ; it a man acquireth a good cook and housekeeper sometimes. And a j woman ohiaineth a meal ticket 1 occasionally. And when she doth although issued for life, she fre- i quently loseth it before it expireth. Matrimony resulted) variously in happiness, trouble, or even chil dren. The latter, though the least frequent, seem to be the most dreaded. Is matrimony i neighbor on thy i "Yea, it is hell,' a failure? The right hand saith, " and the one on it is heaven." And ! thy left, "Nay verily, both are wrong it is earth. In the Blessed Realm there is no marrying or giving up alimony. Angels, being wise, are prudently fearful. Wherefore, only by rush ing and investigating for ourselves can we learn what matrimony has in store for us. Brethren, let us take a chance. .... .... , Pompcian Olive Oil in pint cans hi Cohen's Drug store. i EASTMAN KODAKS We now carry full line of Eastman Kodaks and Sup plies. HUANOKF. mi'lll".
