Turlington Institute Observed the Day With Appropriate Exercises. Collection Taken lor Raleigh Monument. Thanksgiving Day was appro priatelv observed by the school | in Turlington Institute Hall on Thanksgiving morning. The ex-i ercises consisted of reading and | singing of a devotional nature i followed by prayer. Each of the five rooms contributed its share. The primary room under Miss Denton's direction gave an ex- j hibition of their small powers in | reading and phonetic spelling that was quite interesting. No! one appreciated this more than j the little fellows themselves. Their enthusiasm is amusing. The two next higher rooms gave some concert recitations, and j single recitationsbv Misses Anna Underwood and Alma Kasom. Miss Annie Mclluire closed this part of t he exercise by a recita tion "The 1 irst Thanksgiving Day." Thanksgiving Day and North Carolina Dav as recommended by the Legislature of 1901 were united.

Amendment to Stock Law in John ston County. For the benefit of those citizens of Johnston county who failed to he included in the Stock Law territory by reason of the fact that they opposed the stock law, and were consequently fenced around by the Stock Law Com missioner, 1 will call their atten tion to the fact that the Legisla ture of 1901 enacted a law which in effect will abolish this privilege, and that all t he land in the Stock Law Territory of the county without exception will be subject to Stock Law Tax on and after the next assessment. By refer ence to Chapter4-51, i'uhlic Laws of 1901, at page til3, it is plain that section 9 of t he Public Laws of 1.S99, (excepting the territory heretofore fenced out) is repealed. The repealing act of 1901, chap ter 4."> 1 does not lake effect till January 1st. 1902, see chapter .">72, acts 1901, page JS12. The trouble has been up until recent ly, to know what the law actually was, owing to thefact that chap ter 4.">1, laws 1901 i not prop erly indexed, therefore, difficult to find. John A.
