The war is over but, as an ex change puts it, the world is not over the war Let us hope it is really true that over in Russia they've got Trotz ty on the run. The good roads movement is a fine thing, but it is playing hobs with the railroads This is a great country. They are wearing straw hats in Southern California today. A man may make his mark in Germany but it isn't worth much after he makes it. They settled the quarrel over Yap before most of us found out what'it was about. President Harding seems to be dissatisfied with the golf links around Washington. It is a wonder that some of the starving European princelings do . not go into the movies. Judge Landis has two ways of reaching baseball player who might show contempt of court. We sometimes wonder how the great men of the world amused themselves before golf was invent ed. There is talk of further redu cing the size of the army. The soldier has no friends in lime of peace. Another thing. If we can per suade the nations of the world to disarm they will be able to pay us what they owe us just that much sooner. WE don't suppose it will be nec essary for the delegates to the dis armament conference to carry gas masks. YOUNG Mr. Rockefeller has gone to China. He can't speak Chinese but he can hire all the interpreters he needs. The nations no doubt will agree to a reduction of armaments,and all will be well if they will just keep the agreement. The armistice was signed three years ago, but so far no lawyer has tried to get the courts to declare it unconstitutional. A Pennsylvania woman acci dentally swallowed a spoon the other day, and they say she was stirred up until the doctors got it out. "Fatty Arbuckle was born in Kansas," says an exchange. But It should be remembered that he didn't go the bad until after he left there.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA SI ARMISTICE DAY, The Whole County En tered Into the Spirit of the Day and Nearly Every Section was Well Represented. ABOUT 7,000 PEOPLE PRESENT.

A big crowd, a fine parade, good speak ing, free dinner for the musicians, soldiers and guests of honor, a game of football in the afternoon completed a program which had been well planned and was carried out to the letter with not a single disagreeable feature from begin ning to end. The whole county entered into the spirit of the day and nearly every section was well represent ed. All of our business men, showing their loyalty and patriot ism by an elaborate display of Hugs and bunting in the National colors and the stores were beautiful in their holiday dressing. Besides this a great number of the homes of our citizens were beautifully decorated. The floats were especially fine, many of them displaying artistic skill in conception and execution of various ideas they were intend ed to represent. The music by the Weldon and Rosemary bands gave interest and enthusiasm to the large crowd present. At the close of the march the crowd assembled in the park, where a stand had been beautifully decoiated, and afier a most fervent and inspiring prayer by Mr. Job Taylor, Bishop J. B.

How to get Friend Husband up in the morning in a cheerful mood has long been a problem with the head of the house. The alarm clock shatters peaceful slumber and sends many a man to work with a grouch. A Boston housewife has solved the problem, or says she has. She wakens her husband by tickling his feet with a broomstraw. This makes him start the day with a laugh. If he went to bed with grouch she uses a feather. Tickling soothes the nerves. An alarm clock or any other sudden noise irritates them. And good disposition is largely a matter of nerves. Seventeen years before Napo leon died Beethoven composed a fin eral march for him.

The cold-bloodedness of big cities is mostly on the surface. Folks are much ihe same everywhere. Human nature travels under many disguises but it never changes. OOINQ THE IMPOSSIBLE. Have you ever done a thing which other people declared could not be done? If not, you have never known the greatest joy of life. You have missed the finest thrill that human beings are per mitted to experience. No matter what it is climbing a tree, or mending a broken toy, or reviving a dying business, or lead ing any sort of forlorn hope to vic toryif you have done something which other people have said could not be done, you have placed your self above your fellows. You have made them honor you. You have done a splendid thing, and your blood will tingle while you receive the praises that will be freely given. Try it some time try doing the impossible thing. It will be great fun just to try, and if you succeed it will give you a sense of elation and mastery that will make all your ordinary everyday tasks seem mere trifles. TWELVE MISTAKES. There are innumerable mistakes that people can and do make in life. A writer in a current maga zine enumSrates twelve mistakes which he says are most common but which may easily be avoided. They are : I. lo attempt to set up our own standard of right and wrong. 2. To try to measure the en joyment of others by our own. 3. To expect uniformity of opinion in this world. 4. To fail to make allowances for inexperience, 5, To endeavor to mold all dis positions alike. 8. Not to yield in unimportant trifles. 7. To look for perfection our own actions. 8. To worry ourselves and others about what cannot be reme psip' 9. To consider a thing impossi ble which we ourselves cannot perform. 10. Failing to help others whenever, however, and when ever we can. 11. To believe only what our minds can grasp. 12. Not to make allowances for the weakness of others. There are many other mistakes that we can make, of course, but if we try to keep from these twelve in particular we will be headed in the right direction. And in striv ing to avoid these twelve we will no doubt avoid many others. 11 iNll Sl!l ! m S : -.' L u'esh all over again at tho beginning!

Things That Happened 33 Years Ago in Town and Vicinity. November 15, I888.-Mr. S. M. Gary, ot Halifax, is a candidate for the Inferior Court clerkship, made vacant by the death of Mr. G. L. Hyman. Mr. Gary would make a most efficient officer. Mr. Claude Kiichin, of Scotland Neck, son of Hon. W. H. Kitchin, was married on Tuesday morning to Miss Kate B., daughter of Prof. Mills, of Wake Forest College, the ceremony being performed at the residence of the bride's father by the Rev. R. T. Vann. We con gratulate Mr. Kitchin on his good fortune and Scotland Neck on the pleasant acquisition to its society it has acquired in the person of Mrs. Kiichin. Mrs. Ida Wilkins, Miss Laura Powers, Mrs. J. W. Sledge. Miss Blanche Allen, Miss Lula Allen, Miss Niecy Brockwell and Mrs. E. W. Brown spent several days at the Richmond Exposition last week. Miss Lizzie Fessenden, of Brook lyn, and Miss Jessie Kenan, of Wilmington, who have been visit ing Misses Emily and Kate Long, left Saturday. Miss Kate Gregory, of Crowells, left Saturday for Savannah, to visit the Exposition. The community was greatly shocked on Saturday last at the an nouncement of the death of G. L. Hyman, Esq , clerk of the Inferior court, which occurred on that morning at Halifax. Mr. Hyman occupied a room in the court house, and about sunrise smoke was seen issuing from under the door. He was called and there being no answer the door was forced open, when a horrible sight met the eyes of those who entered. His body was lying on the bed in a natural position but was so terri bly burned as to be unreconizable. One arm was burned off to the el bow and the flesh of the face and head was completely destroyed. On the floor under the bed lay a lamp which is supposed to have been accidentally overturned and which had set fire to the floor and bed. On Friday last interest centered in the tournament which began about two o'clock. Twelve knights entered the lists. Capts. T. W. Mason and W, R. Bond were the judges. Capt. W. H. Anthony carried off the first prize. There being a tie between.the next three highest, it was ordered that they each have one ride to settle the question which was in that way determined as follows: T. W. Fenner 26, G. H. Johnston 20, W. E. Watson 18, and they crown ed the first, second and third maids of honor, respectively. After the play Friday night a .large crowd assembled in the ball room to wit ness the coronation ceremonies. Miss Emily Long was crowned queen of love and beauty, Miss Jessie Kenan, first maid of honor, Miss Virgie Allen, second maid of honor, Miss Etta Allsbrook, third maid of honor. I ' I frf 71. A!
