Mrs. Walter Cavnaugb, of Duplin, is visiting relatives here. Mr. W. A. Ringham, oi Wil miguton, visited relatives here last week. There was but little idleness here Tuesday. There was nobody asleep and not over half of either party drunk. There were but few negroes here to vote the Republican ticket, and not one voted the white man's ticket. Mrs. L. E. Stevens died Thurs day of last week after several days' illness She was a daugh ter of .1. R Dunning, of this place. Miss Laura Ilutchins, of Chap el Hill, is here.

A. R. Gilbert is selling a kind of cotton seed that is a wonder !ul improvement compared with the sort usually planted in this section. Our farmers ought to improve seed and look to better culture for a reward for such in dustry. Write Mr. Gilbert for prices. A good joke on the Republi cans here is to the effect that a certain devout Democrat whose lace they had failed to read was "wined and dined" by them. Their lips dropped and flopped and weut. a tiragging when he walked up and voted as he ought. Some things are funny, some serious and some hateful. All these took place here Tuesday. Funny because the Republicans were on the run, serious because of the consequences that might follow an abuse of the citizen's right, and hateful because some scamps tried to stick their noses in your scribe's business. BALTIMORE HERALD. A most finished and dainty presentation of child life was given at the Lend-a-Hand Club by Miss Jennette T. Broomell, in a recital of readings and child impersonations. The art of Miss Broomell is so akin to nature that tears of mirth or sympathy quickly responded to the stimu lated frolic or grief of this in imitable portrayer of child life.

The following times and planes are hereby appointed for white teachers' association meetings in Johnston County: Menson, Monday, Nov, 19th; Public School House in I)ist.

These meetings wdl be held at 11 A. M. each day The law requires ail public school teachers to attend these meetings, but provides that the teachers shall be paid for the time lost iu attending as though teaching. township associations. One object of these meetings} ns most teachers already under stand is to organize Township Associations as the teachers have done in former years in the beginning of the school terms. Teachers, of course, can attend the meeting nearest to them. Another object of these meet ings as previously stated will be to give out new school registers, monthly and final report blanks, and lists, of new scbool books (to those not having them al?! ready,) and to give instructions in using the same. The exactions of the school law on teachers and County Sup erintendents make it absolutely necessary to make full, complete and correct records. Unless ev ery teacher keeps correct records it will be impossible fortheCoun ty Superintendent to do so. The wholesome effect of the school law requiring these in creased duties of teachers and { Superintendents during the last three years of Prof. Turlington's; administration decreased the number of whitechildren in Johu ston County who could not read [ aui write from 773 to 329. By proper efforts we can reduce illit eracy still more. Furthermore the course of study, the system of grading, the schedule of reci tat ions and the modern peda gogical methods ot teaching out lined by theStateSuperiuteudeut of Public Instruction mean greater things for our education al life in the future. Teachers, let us get together at these meet ings and lay plans for doing great work this year. In order that every teacher may seee this notice it will ap pear again next week. J. P. Canaday.
