Sift r‘ RURAL CARRIER ITEMS Haw River Items. ime in its li pid flight has light us th] ough another Christmas and ar other year has past and leaves-vs but the mem ory of its joys, f nd pleasures, its cares and . responsibilities, its neglected opportunities of mak ing this world better by having liyed in it. And as we ooen the book of memory and read froHi its pages the interesting scenes that occurred around the old home fireside of the long ago and look upon . the dear faces ano familiar forms of those who then contributed to our joys ano pleasures of the Christmas fire sides, our heart is made sad to know that many of them have gone from us. The curtains of eternal nighi have folded themselves around the past year and laid it on the bier and bourn it away to the archieves of Father time. Many went visiting in search of pleasure while others remained at home and enjoyed the good things that our mothers and wives prepared for us thus we could look out toward the star of Bethleham when the joyous an them was sung by the angle host “Glory to God in the Highest and on Earth Good will to Men.'’ Christmas is the hightide of the year. Miss Woodfin Chambers who has spent the Holidays at home with her parents Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Robei tson has returned to Raleigh to resume her work in school. A very sad occurance happen ed here Monday the 26th when the barn and stable of Mr. C. P. Albright was burned. Mr. T. S. Coble our R. F. D. man and Joe Albright lost a horse each was burned to death. How the barn caught is a mystery. By the time it was found out the flames were raging so that the horses couli not be saved, every effort was made but failed. The boys worked hard to save them. The loss of the barn, horses, feed and harness would amount to about One Thousand Dollars. Coble had hired a horse from McPherson Livery Stable that day. Joe left his in the stable that day with Coble’s, and went out to spend the day with his parents. So both were a- "way at the time of the fire. Miss Alice Thompson of Efland is visiting the family of J. R, Stewart. We hope her stay will be pleasant. Mr. and Mrs. Ike Henderson are rejoicing over the arrival of sweet, little girl at their home.

M.Y. W, B. Sharpe who has been laid up two or three weeks with a carbuncle on the back of his head is some better now, ^V'e had the pleasure of enter- taiiiing J. W. Whitehead of Snow Camp No.' 2 Monday night. Mr. Whitehead is one of our old school mates and is now' serving Alamancecounty as one of the members of the Board of Educa tion. “Providence” did not send a snow just before his visit but our neighbors who had killed hogs came to our rescue. He lives down near the Chatham line and prehaps “Providence” thought he had consumed enough of the Chatham products without giving us a chance to capture one of Chathams “citizens” for him. Dr. Paul Dixon and wife and little son Joe returned to their home at Roanoke Va. last Thurs day after spending the holidays with relatives and friends on No. 7.

After doing full Justice to the feast the evening was spent in social converse and listening to Organ music and singing by Messrs Serenus A. Sharp and A. B. Nicholson and others. Serenus, still plays “No Wedding Bells for me” and tried to look like he ment it but Mr. Nicholson looks like he would en joy a few in his.

KimsaB City .journal . It is no wonder, under the pre sent system of legislating, that the statue books are loaded down with unconstitutional freakish, useless and harmful laws. Noth ing else could be expected when the merchant is taken from be hind the counter and the farmer from his plow to participate in the business of statecraft for 90 days without any special prepara tion whatever. One legislator will I spend the entire session lobbying I for his bill to regulate the size of j pickle jars and he must promise I to support a dozen other bills that I ho knows nothing about in order i to have himself emblazened in history as the author of the fam ous Dill Pickle Ijaw for the allevia tion of human suffering. To return to Governor Hadleys educational idea, v/hy not educate lawmakers in the science of state craft? It is a pretty serious busi ness this asking a lot of busy men who make no pretense to technical knowledge to pass laws regulating banking, railroads, msurance or telephones. In the old days things were much simpl er and there were few problems that could not be solv^'d by the j average citizen. Today business I matters are specialized, and j m many cases are intricate and pulling. But the legislators go right on recklessly increasing the number of laws and repealing very few with ho timie to devote to the study of the subject af!‘ect ; ed. / Jos. A. Isley & Bro. Co.
