Not a Dead Law. (
We publish the following from <
The News and Observer and it J
brings us to think that often on j
the streets of Smithfield there I
are men who seem to think that I
there is no written law much |
less a divine law that forbids cru- j
elty to dutub beast:
"The law againt cruelty to an- I
imals is not a dead letter. The j
mayor of New Bern (all honor to (
him!) has fined a drayman fifty e
dollars for cruelty to nis horse: fi
"A merciful man is merciful to j
his beast." When any man is n
^ruel to animals, he ought to be r
made pay the penalty. A mere A
reading of "Beautiful Joe" would '
put an end to cruelty on the part r
if all its readers. ' j ^
A Birthday Party.
A happy gathering of our
roung people were delightfully
entertained on last Monday
?vening from 8:30 uutil 12 o'clock
it the hospitable homeof Mr. W.
i. Stevens, the occasion being the
he celebrating of Mies Bertha's
tighteeuth birthday.
.Music, prominading on the
?leasant porches, fun and frolic
iped the hours all too quickly
iway. A pleasant and unique
eature of the evening's entertain
nent was the literary contest.
V subject was assigned to each
>air of young folks and an essay
lpon this subject was required
>t them in ten minutes. After ten
ninutes' busy scratching of pen
?ils the essays were given in and
he guests were invited into the
lining room in the following
irder:
Mr. YV. D. Hood with Miss Bet
de Lee Sanders, Mr. Jas. H. Abell
with Miss Mattie McGuire, Mr.j
Tom Daniel with Miss Mary
Myatt, Mr. Dalma Easom with
Miss Y'essie Coats, Mr. Walter
jrantham With Miss Dixie Moore,
Mr. Ralph Stevens with Miss Nel
lie Johnson, Mr. Jabez Hollowell
with Miss Eva Hood, Mr. A. H. i
Rose with Miss Maude Holmes,
Mr. Dick Holt with Miss Roxie
Easom, Mr. Dick Holmes with
Miss Bet tie Kirkman, Mr. T. E. j
Austin with Miss liena Bingham,
Mr. Clair Wilson with Miss Bertha
Stevens and Mr. Leon Stevens
and Miss Nellie Barbour.
Here delicious refreshments
were served by Miss Stevens and
Miss Rose.
Then followed more music and i
some humorous recitations by j
Misses Rose and Stevens, after
which the decision of the judges
in the essay contest was an
nounced. The prize, a silver shoe
buttoner, was awarded to Miss'
Maude Holmes and Mr. A. H.
Rose.
Miss Bertha received many
pretty mementoes of the day. j
f he clock chimed out twelve far
too soon and the merry company,
with many good birthday wishes
for Miss Bertha, said good night.
The Ball Game.
Iselma had the laugh on us in
the ball game Tuesday at that
place and how they did enjoy it.
It was genuine pleasure to watch
their enjoyment. 'Twasa rather
novel experience for them?Smith
field usually laughs. The boys
and those going over to witness
the game even laughed Tuesday
with Selma, they have such a
habit of it.
One of our boys measured his
long length in one of Selma's mud
holes and brought off a consid
erable portion of real estate on
his baseball pants. It was a
pretty game but was not free
from errors, as the ground was
Full of water. Walter (irantham's
field work was one of the features
of the game. Every hall thatj
went in his direction was his.
Will Hood pitched a winning
game. He struck out twelve
ijjen, the opposing pitcher only
five men. Every one of our boys
lid good work, taking in consul- j
jration the wet ball and dia
mond.
They had the laugh on us, but
le laughs best who laughs last.
