Leather is so high that one suspect the cow or somebody of hoarding ii and cornerning the market. Again the Kaiser is disappoint ed in America we insists upon licking his "invincible" Prussian guard ! The diamonds those munition makers, returning from work in Pennsylvania, wear, are something dazzling. Cannot agree that the U-boat danger has passed. The Huns got another fishing Schooner on Saturday. Speaking of great turning movements, there will be one worth noting when the people turn autocracy out. The rapidity with which a "fore field" becomes a hindfield is per haps another indication of brilliant German strategy. TATE OK f mil), 1 CITY OKTOUilK), t I.UL'At COUNTY J Frank J.

Could we but know that future days The sweets of life would bring, We'd calmly rest, we'd sweetly dream And of thai future sing. Bui human wisdom ne'er can all Or forecast what's in store, Then preparations fully make Leave nothing in deplore. Oh, these school boys ! Will they never end? I am studying physiology, and getting on right well, but when I branch oft on anatomy, it's twin subject, and gel to thinking about it, my mind be comes confused, and it gels on my nerves to that extent, I can scarce ly bend my elbow, or sit down; it is to me a very unpleasant nought, but all who are trying the of life io climb, and pluck only (lowers from its lugged sides, hi I, in attempting io go forward, u il i.e that thorns, as well as Holers, must he encountered, and ihai "all lhat glitters is not gold, thus this repulsive study, will prevent my ever becoming a surgeon; could I more readily um'irsiand, success would perhaps crown my etturts; it is w ell ilut every one is not woe fully stupid, as my poor little self. (eel sorry lor boys; you know if ihey are once called bad, all lose confidence in ihem; they "must stem the tide alone" through a cer tain youthful period; then transfor mation usually lakes place when they get into long pants and this is the time in retrieve themselves they generally do this, and are quickly transformed into polite, gentlemanly youths sicpping into society, almost forgetting the stig ma "bad boy," that once rested upon them. Had I not the sweetest mother that ever imprinied a kiss of affec tion upon the brow of an only son, I might go astray, but when I think of her love, and the esteem she bears me, 1 cannot do wrong, and beiray a trust so explicitly bestow ed; oh, mothers! seek to gain the confidence of your boys, that you may become truly an "advisory board" in their behalf their affec tionate companion discuss with them their troubles, kneel by their sides, and ask the God of love to keep them from temptaiion, and guide them in ways of life eternal. Oh, Mother mine! A subject long I've pondered And tried to fit in rhyme, Could never do it justice Made failure every time. If one be good at guessing He'd aptly guess no other The one that strikes a lender chord The world knows, this is moiher. Dec. 1 1, 1859. Well, the big comet that created such a sensation is now a thing of the past, but it has not disappeared without crea ting a profound impression; the superstitious world may not be en tirely wrong in its deductions that such phenomena sometimes fore cast events that revolutionize the world; may the startling appear ance of this gigantic Heavenly body prove nothing more than a ' freak of nature" seeking a more conge nial orbit, but it's unusual brillian cy, its immense size and apparent nearness to earth, caused closer scrutiny, and perhaps more gener ally observed than any of us pred ecssors. Dec. 12, 1 859. -We were glad to see from the last issue of the Richmond Examiner that John Brown, the notorious insurrection ist, of "Harper's Ferry" fame, who was hanged just ten days ago, had only a few accomplices, while it was feared originally, lhat he had quite a Following which might cause a deal of trouble. If WtLDON 33 YEARS AGO. From The Roanoke News, Sept 3. IM5. Miss l.ula Hutchinson, of Meck lenburg county, Va., is visiting relatives in town. i Mr and Mrs J M. Mullen re i turned home trom a trip to the j mountains last w eek. Misses Annie and Maggie Cmii- gland, who have been visiting rel lives in Northampton county, re- j turned home last week. Mr. Fergus Reid, of Norfolk, i well and favorably known in ilus community, was in tow n Tuesday, Capi. J. S. Norihiuglon, of I'e tersburg, a native of this county, returned to his home Monday, al ter a month's visit in the country. Miss Laura Powers, who has been visiting Friends in Littleton, Ridgeway and Raleigh, returned home Saturday. The posiolhce at Littleton is now in the hands of the new postmas ter, Mr. W. II. Nichulson, and is kept in the back room of Col. W. A. Johnston's store. Mr. J. W. Briggs, of the Dan ville, (Va.) Times, who has been in town several days, visiting rela tives, left for Henderson Monday. Mr. L. B. Tillery, who has been running baggage master on the Atlantic Coast Line between Rich mond and Wilmington for the past two years, has been promoted to a freight conductor's place between Wilmington and Wcldon. Our congratulations are extended to Capi. Lynn. Thanks. Those pears were simply superb, and the peaches large, luscious and juicy; but that watermelon lakes the cake. A full two-footer and proportionately large, with dark, green stripes running up its rainbow figure, it was delicious and palatable. We are indebted to that sterling and energetic farmer, Mr. R. W. Brown, for a sample of his side crops. Baseball. On Thursday last a match game was played here be tween the Weldon club and the In dependents of Aurelian Springs. The game was well played and up to the sixth inning there was little difference in the score. The In dependents then began to go ahead and on the ninth inning had scored 41 to Weldon's 29. Died. We exceedingly regret to announce the death of Mrs. Leah A. Shields, w ife of ourcouniyman, W. H. Shields, Esq., which took place Thursday at Oxford, where she was visiting. Her remains were taken to Scotland Neck Eri day and interred in the Episcopal cemetery. Mrs. Shields was a de vout Christian, a good mother and kind neighbor. A Fruitful Compliment. A pleasant entertainment was given at Mr. A. L. Stainback's Tuesday night at which most of the young people of the town were present. Towards the wee sma' hours a band of serenaders wilh their in struments assembled at the gate of Mr. Stainback's residence and made ihe mighty musical, but mod esty forbids further remark upon this portion of the evening. In ad dition to the hospitality extended to the tramps at the time, they were again remembered the next morning, a waiter of fruit, (lowers and cake being sent them. The musicians request us to express the hope that the lives of the young ladies will be full of pleasure and lhat their walk through life may be strewn with (lowers as sweet and more lasting even than those received by them. Signs and portents all over the glube indicate the approaching de struction of Germany's diabolical plans. When the big explosion comes, where will the secret back ers of Germany hide themselves? 6r6 cures Chills and Fever BANKER Otto Kahn speaks of seeing American soldiers in Pans with a girl on each arm.

The Branch House is the place in the packing organization where what the packing plant does for you is put where you can use it Both are the natural result of growth and development in the living thing they belong to. Swift & Company Branch Houses are located in distributing centers all over the country. They are fitted out with refrigerating equipment to keep meat cool, sweet and fresh. Each one is in personal charge of a man who believes in what Swift & Company is doing for people and wants to help do it They are directed by men who have spent years learning how to get better meat cheaper to the places where it is needed. Meat is shipped to the branch houses direct from the packing plants in Swift & Company's refrigerator cars, in such quantities that it can be disposed of while fresh and sweet. Your meat dealer comes here to buy your meat for you unless some one else can treat him better then we can. So you need the branch house in order to live well; and the branch house and the packing plant need each other.in order to be useful to you. Swift & Company, U. S. A.
