C. ■■ 1 ■'■■■' ■ » » ■ ' " r —r~~ Friday, December 12 ,tqi^ A perfect town is that in which you see the farmer-patronizing the home merchants, the laborers sjiending the money they earn with their own tradesmen, and all animated by a spirit that will s. not purchase articles abroad if they can be bought at home. After reading an article in The Pitt County Independent of the 10th. one will conclude that the editor cents, or more, for a red cambric Christmas stocking. Come over here where you get your money back in real goods. Hog killing time is near, - and Martin County folks will begin to look up a little higher, for with ' barns filled with corn, peanuts and other crops and the smoke house with hams and pork, the farmers feel safe for the rainy days of the coming season. There is nothing better in all the earth. Some people's idea of personal liberty is to get into such a con dition that they disturb the peace, break the law and blot out all the earlier memories of home and mother. To such people, the town is a parade ground for a display of their animal natures. No man liveth to himself-others are to enjoy life also.. The Greenville Reflector says that Col. E. F. Lamb, of Martin County, is to be deputy collector of customs at Elizabeth City. Bro. Whiehard has gone wrong on his record -we claim many good things for Martin - County but not a collectorship. We have a Lamb all right, who would fill this position or any given him, and lie* is a Colonel, too, but he is a Democrat without-the job-seek ing tendency. Need More Houses To have agreed with some cal amity howlers several years [ago, would have meant to have seen almost the total depopulation of Williamston. People predicted that there would be so many houses vacant that property would fall lower than at any pre vious time. Men whose minds were not "carried away by every wind of doctrine" asserted that such would not be the case. They were right. At no period since that time .has there been enough houses to accomodate the people here and those desiring to come. The situation ot this time .is unfortunate. There are no residences to rent, no private families who will take boarders and no private boarding houses. The two hotels prefer transients and are making no effort to ac commodate people, and recently the proprietors of each have de cided to raise the board to $25 month. To a man and wife with moderate salary, this means much more than they can afford. The solution of the problem lies in t MJ building of more cottages and one or more roomy boarding houses. There would be no trou ble to get people to move here and rent these houses, and the necessity for them is great. Peo ple with funds to invest could safely build houses, and get good interest on their money. If the towti wants and needs more peo ple, let something be done in the matter.

School Notes Mr. Jacques Busbee, the noted artist of Raleigh, delivered an in teresting lecture at the East Carolina Training School un "Our Native Shrubs and Flowers." He opened the eyes of his audience to the beauty of our native flowers here in North Carolina. Mr. Busbee painted the remarka ble protraits of Governor Jarvis and Mrffi-H. Ragsdale, which were presented to the school by the two societies last commence ment. He is a great favorite at the Training School. A Student Council has been organized here for the purpose of working with the President in the government of the school. The Council which i,s the govern ing body of the school, is com posed of President Wright and representatives from the classes chosen by the class members themselves. It is the duty of these members to bring to the notice of the President all ques tions of school importance; these to be decided by the council and the laws governing the student body made by them. This mode of government has proved suc cessful as tried by tne Training School and may be recommended for its power to develop a splend id school spirit and create the proper attitude on the part of those governed.
