The term of the first road trustee elected shall be for three years, the second for two and the third for one year, line successor of one road trustee shall be elected at the annual April meeting for the term of three years. They are hereby in corporated, and the Hoard of Road Trustees of such townships shall be their corporate name. Catbird Versus Whippoorwill. I There's a man in Raleigh who thinks the whippoorwill, as a i weather indicator, is a fraud and his piping roundelay a delusion and a snare. He clips the follow ing from the News and Observer of receutdate: "The Newton Enterprise , hii8 received a dead sure tip i on the weather. It ways: , "We heard the first whip poorwill notes of the year last Friday evening. This is j a sure sign that spring has , at lust set in. Farmers al- l ways feel safe 111 planting corn ? and cotton after the whip- ( poorwill* beirin their morn- i ing and evening concerts." On this our Raleigh man com ments as follows: "The Newton Enterprise and the whippoorwill may think they : know something about this j spring but the catbird can give ; points that they've never dreamt ' of. No catbird, yet, 110 settled ] spring weather yet and none un- j til cat bird comes." Without passing on the claims i of the catbird for meteorological j honors, candorcompels us to ad- ' mit that the present cold wave ' somewhat jars our faith in the 1 whippoorwill's prophetic powers ; as set forth by tne Enterprise.? News and Observer. Yes, the catbird has arrived. One has been singing his merry ; songs near one of Smithfleld's 1 residences for about two weeks. ! The recent cold snap places him ; in the same catalogue as Mr. von Herrmann and the whippoorwill | as weather prophets. This re cent changeable weather has caught them all napping. Small Pox. On account of exasperated itatemeuts that have l?eeii circu lated through the county con cerning smallpox in our town we Jeem it necessary to say for the information of the general public that there is no further cause tor Harm. There have been a few cases here, but all who have not entirely recovered are doing well, and there has been no ueath. The tirst case was not known to be small pox till several persons had been exposed and a few of these have since had the disease; but in every instance the patient has heen isolated, until now it is thought by the physicians that the danger is practically over. Vile authorities nave taken every precaution and used every effort to protect the community and stamp out the disease, and are to be congratulated upon their success. The only remaining trouble is i family of colored people just jut of the corporate limits, and they are under the strictest sur veillance, guards keeping watch lay and night, to prevent the lisease being spread from these. We feel safe to assure the public that there is no further danger and trust that the false reports will not scare the jH-ople away from home nor keep them away iroin town. G. W.

C., April 24, 1!>01. me cat-Bira's Exeutive Ability. Mr. A. B. Stronach takes up the cudgel in behalf of the cat bird against the whippoorwill as a weather prophet. He says the reason you may know spring has eoine when the cat-bird comes is this: "The cat-bird never builds a nest for itself. It waits till some other bird has built a nest and then it comes along and appro priates it to its own use. In other words is has modern exec utive ability, which someone has described as the ability of mak ing some one else work for you." ?News and Observer.
