Miss Kelly, a woman of unusual person ality, and charm, at once enlistee the attention of the audience with her splendid remarks apropos tc (he occasion. Miss Kelly’s inter est in education and in progress along all lines is intense. Het vision for greater, and better ele mentary schools is an Inspiration, and is quite contagious.

Lassiter, Mrs 'fey Ellis and Mrs. Robert Mus jj®ve, in serving a delightful ict , the \X eldon people a Imle over a i year ago, at which lime she was one of ihe principal speakers ai ■ the Inspiration Banquet, held at • the Terminal Hotel. On behalf of the Citizens—the tax payers of the community-Hon. Chas. R. Daniel, in a most delight ! ful address, presented the High I School Building. As Chairman, School Board, Hon. George C. Green, in well chosen words— I nude a splendid acceptance speech ' It was deep regret that Hon. W. j E. Daniel could not be present at I these exercises. From the organ ization of the School Board, Mr. t Daniel was Chairman, and pm ! f irth Ins hesi efforts in formulating plans looking towards the erection of this creditable school building.

This is one of the very best I speeches that has been delivered | in Weldon in many a day. All | who were not present missed a treat. FARM NOTES. I By VV 0. Davis, County Agent, Weldon, N. C. Have you joined the "Live-at I Home” campaign for North Caro lina Agricultural Independence in 1924? If not you should do so at once to help prevent your commit nny from feeling the suffering mat i other sections have felt due to the 1 ravages of the weevil. A cam paign to enlist members to live at home in 1924 began February | 22nd and ends April 1st. Farmers and farmers’ wives are asked io I agree to try io do icn certain things this year pertaining io supplying food and feed on the farm. Those that sign up in the campaign before April first and next fall have ac complished seven of these ten live at-home items will be awarded a certificate of merit signed by ihe Governor of the State, the Presi dent of the State College, and ihe Director of Agricultural Extension Work. Enlistment blanks will soon be circulated through the schools. It is hard for our farmers to real ize the importance of home raised supplies in the boll weevil farming program. The campaign running now to get farmers to produce home supplies in 1924 shows what the State authorities think of its importance. More important than this, though, is the fact that expe rience has shown that a farmer never overcomes the boll w'eevil until he grows his supplies at home. We have a supply of the new bulletin, ''North Carolina Doll Weevil Program for 1924,’ and will be glad to send a copy to any one asking for it. Send in your order for carpet grass and L.espedeza seed for a permanent pasture. I hese seed should be sown next month. I hey require no preparation of the soil. Scatter the seed in your low’ grounds and cut over land and then forget them until next spring. lot sold. The lot on First street, known as the Anderson property and be longing to the Seaboard Air Line, was sold last week to the Wftite Ice Cream Company, of Raleigh, the price paid being $2,700. Had it been known that this property could have been bought, it would have easily brought $10,000. It is indeed, the cheapest property that has been sold in Weldon for many years By the summer, we learn, we will have an up-to date ice cream factory. We extend a hearty wel come to the White Ice Cream fac tory. THE TIME TO MARRY The (ihost of a Murdered Love Is Always to be Seen by Looking Over the Lett Shoulder. “t!ome and kiss me, sweet-an 1-twentv. N outh 's a stuff will not endure," SHAKESPEARE. I.et people preach as they will, youth Is the time to marry. Yes, early youth is the time too, for he w ho awakens a girl s heart should be the one to lead her to the altar; and she who first tills the boy's soul with beautiful fanees is the one, it is more than probable, who will make him the happiest during the latter years of life. II arty one were to ask me, "At what age shall my daughter marry?” I should answer: "Ai the age in which she first falls in love.'' ‘ I believe that the instincts of the heart are very true. There are eyes that are like no other eyes to us when we first meet them. There are voices that, having been once heard, haunt our dreams. All the cool reasoning in the world is worthless when compared to the signs and tokens with which rea son has nothing to do—which say to us, "He has come,” or "She is here.” But only in early youth will any one listen to these voices. A few years later, people have had ex perience. They fancy that they know the folly of yielding to im pulse. They act on judgment. The God-given instinct has left them, and on, the folly of selec tions that come of cool delibera tion and calm investigation. Oh! the miserable lives those of ten lead who have made "very sensible matches!” While the the "idiots" who loved each other, they couldn't tell why, are as hap py as mortals can be. The time to marry is while you are yet young enough to be what the world calls foolish. And young people "know their own hearts” much better than older people can. The girl of eighteen is perfectly sure that Ned is the only one who can make her happy—not Will. I'hc woman of twenty-eight, with several otters on hand feels that she does admire Mr Brown the most; but Mr Smith is such an excellent man! and ends, perhaps, by marrying Mr. Jones, whose property is larger than that of eith er. Or, if she accepts Smith, per petually wonders whether Brown might not have been better. Trou ble will come in this world, but those who start upon its path mu ted to their first loves, escape so many pangs—so many embittering memories. The ghost of a murdered love is always to be seen by looking over the left shoulder, let man or wo man be as brave as may be. Due may avoid the backward glance, but one knows it is there. Dun t send your girl or your buy into life attended by such a spectre, if you cun help it Though doctors preach, and elderly people, who forget the past, advise, and there are young women ridiculously kept at school at twenty now a days. Your daughter of eighteen is quite old enough to be a happy wife if she is old enough to love. New JIJDOH AND SOLICITOR. The Governor has appoinied Solicitor G. E. Midyette, of North ampton county, to succeed Judge Thomas M Pittman, resigned. The Governor has also appoinied Mr. K. Hunt Parker, of Enfield, solicitor to succeed Mr. Midyette. The new judge is well and favora bly known throughout the 3rd Ju dicial District and in our opinion, will make a most excellent judge. The new solicitor is regarded as in every way capable of handling the affairs of the office He is well versed in literature and is a vigor ous lawyer He represented this county in the last General Assem bly and was a captain in the army during the world war. another laroe DWELLING TheCarolina Building Company has the contract to build for Mrs. R. P. Morehead a residence, to be located on Sycamore street, with basement, nine rooms, closets, halls and other modern improve ments, with modern plumbing and heating system, with modern ga rage and woodhouse and concrete walks and driveways. All as per plans and specifications by Mr. W. M.Elks. Work will be commenced as soon as weather conditions will permit. Keep your eye on Wel don and just watch her grow. WORK COMMENCED Roanoke River Development Company Installing 300 Horse Power Engine Here—Rebuilding Plant at the Locks on the Canal.

P. fuel oil Engine at the power plant here and that the plant at the locks, Roanoke Rapids, is being repaired and will shortly be in service producing about 300 H. P. addi tional.

"There is one thing in the world that is always easy to stir up,’’ said one the other day, "and this is dislike or hate, to the other fellow. Prejudice is easy. You can change love to hatred in a word—tell some one that So and So said this or that about him and he doesn't wait to see So and So and ask him about it, jut immediately dislike, or ha ! tred,is engendered,and haven’t you ever noticed how much easier it is to stir up strife than create love? Or, in other words, it is easier to I be wrong than right.” 666quickly relievesColds,Fever and LaGrippe, Constipation, Bili ousness and Headaches. SHOULD THERE HE A CI1ANQE IN >VAY OF ELECT INO SCHOOL TRUSTEES? j The preseni arrangement of self perpetuating board operaiing un der a special act of the Legislature, while then, admittedly undemo cratic, was considered necessary under conditions, at that time, and was accepted by the public as the best solution of the problem, but conditions have changed and with the menace then existing removed, the patrons of the school and tax payers are entitled to more consid eration than is now allowed them in the management of its affairs. People as a rUe, evidence slight interest in a public institution when they participate only in the pay ment of taxes for its maintenance. This accounts probably for the piti fully small attendance at the re cent dedicatory exercises at the new school building. These exer cises should have appealed strong ly to popular interest, but attend ance was particularly limited to the school faculty and the board of trustees. This invites more than passing note and must have crea ted impression on invited speakers that popular interest in public ed ucation is at a low ebb in Weldon. Another point to which I call at tention, the women contribute a large and new element in our body politic and if invited, would willing ly contribute to the management ut the institution, naturally feeling a deep interest in educational mat ters. They are qualified to be helpful in many ways and by all means should have one or more places on the board. The act under which the board is operating should be amended or repealed and the board elected by popular franchise. If this idea strikes a popular chord, the tune is ripe to begin agitation, so that the Halifax coun ty members of the Legislature may know in time, the wishes of the people of the Weldon Graded school district. The writer has no axe to grind, tias no desire to be on the board and can accept indefi nitely the present regime personal ly, but I think the institution would be helped in popular interest if the voters elect the board. Citizen. MAKES MOKE KAIDS. The fallowing from a letter front Littleton to the News and Obser ver : “Federal Prohibition Officer W. E. Woodtin at different times dur ing the last ten days assisted by W. N. Carter, deputy sheriff, and J. T. l.assister made several raids tiening them about twenty-five men, ten thousand gallons of mash and whiskey, one truck and two Ford cars. All the men who could n’t give bond are in jail, the whis key and mash was poured out ana the cars confiscated. Officer Woodtin was indicted on i Decembers, 1923, for the murder of Grover Bradley, of Northamp ton county, brother of John and Jesse Bradley, who are nowpend I ing trial for the manufacture of I whiskey. Mr. Woodfin was re . leased from jail about the first of January on a $10,000 bond after . a habeas corpus proceedings before , Supreme Court Judge Clarkson.’’ LINEN SHOWEK. Every one is most cordially in 1 vited to attend the linen shower to be given in the b sement of the 1 Methodist church on Friday after * noon from 3 to 5 o’clock. Linens, such as gowns, sheets, spreads, 1 pillow-cases, towels and washrags, will be much appreciated and wtl be used in the sick rooms of the . needy of our community. Welfare Dept. Woman’s Club SPRIGHTLY SPARKS. Gathered Here and There and Everywhere. Changeable weather. Now for March winds. Two months of 1924 gone. The days are rapidly spreading at both ends. The first spring month steps in next Saturday. For toothache or neuralgia blow a pinch of salt up the nose The dollar bill has no eagles on it but we notice that it continues to fly just the same. The honey moon is over when he quits hiding his faults and she quits hiding her hair. If you want to be good all you have to do is to obey God, love man and hate the devil. A; we look at it, these ‘‘centers of culture” are places where girls never learn how to cook. In the game of crack-the-whip it seerns that the ultimate consumer always get on the short end. The man who first called them “easy payments’’ was certainly a mighty poor judge of adjectives. A slowpoke is the Weldon man you pass in your car; the speed demon is the one who passes you. Why is it that the man who is too old or too fat to run always has the most trouble with his hat blow ing off? What has become of the old fashioned man who wore a black bow tie that fastened on with a little wire loop ? The handsome bungalows in South Weldon being erected by Mrs. D. B. Howell, are nearing completion. Suicide is all wrong. No man has a right to kill himself and leave his share of the taxes for the bal ance of us to pay. We know one Weldon husband who saio he'd be more polite to his wife only he’s afraid she couldn't withstand the shock. The wave of crime over this country merely proves how hard some fellows are trying to keep from g< Fig to work. Occasionally we meet on the streets of Weldon a fellow who is so careful of his conscience that he only uses it on Sunday. One of the hardest things to fig ure out is what becomes of all the labor that is saved by the so called labor saving-machines. It has been our observation that the Weldon man who has sunshine in his heart can get along without moonshine in his stomach. Judging by the length of some of their earrings, we wouldn’t be ! surprised to see the old-fashioned ! cowbell become fashionable. ; Civilized man is a good deal like an over ripe egg—you never real ize how bad he is until adversity gives him a pretty hard crack. The man who never speaks ill I of a woman or religion may not : wear silk shirts and kid gloves but lie’s a gentleman just the same. With the constant clamor for beer, luwer taxes and a bonus it looks as though politicians will have plenty to talk about this year. Mrs. W. T. Shaw’s Circle will meet Friday night at the residence of Mrs. John Zollicoffer. Seven thirty o'clock is the hour of meet ing. "It strikes me,’’said a Weldon man yesterday, “that if a fellow wants his dreams to come true the best thing he can do is to wake j up." When a Weldon man gets it into his head that he owes his family as much loyally as he owes his coun try he commences to make a pretty good citizen. Figures show that we, spend more for chewing gum in this country than for books. Well, ! isn’t it easier to exercise the chir than the mind ? \ Throughout our life's brief span On this terrestial ball, Kind Heaven protect us from tht man, The man who “knows it all.” If the mothers of Weldon mus teach their boys that money isn’ everything then they should no feel disappointed if they take a jol in a bank instead of learning to b i plasterers.

RESPONSIBILITY. “Now, children," said one of the teachers in the Weldon public school, “you are all to write a com position on ‘responsibility.’ "Then one boy handed ia this: "Boys have two buttons to their suspend ers to keep their pants up, and when one button tears off ihere’s a lot of responsibility on the other button.” TIRESOME STOPS.
