FALL FLOWER FESTIVAL. The success of last year's Mower show which was held under the auspices of the Woman’s Club of Weldon, has inspired the Civics Department of the Woman's Club to plan a greater Mower show for the approaching fall. To this end a special committee has been ap pointed, composed of Mesdames T. C. Harrison, W. J. Ward, H. V. Bounds, H. D. Allen, John Zollicolfer, Wm. L. Knight, C. J. Owen, Harris, Cohen, Morehead The committee is earnestly striv ing to further the Mower show movement. This show will be successful in proportion as the town is in terested.

Let civic pride assert itself and let the citizens say with Mowers that they are enthusiastic to help make Weldon a town ceautiful. Watch for later announcement of date and place. In the interim vie with your neighbor to make lovely your exhibit for the Octo ber Flower Show. MARS. Will He Nehrer the Barth During This Month than Hver Helore— Watch tor the Large Star In The Bast. The flashing red star that rises in the east as the sun goes down in ihe west, and it veers round to the southeast and finally to the south, the higher it rises, is Mars Persons who sit up as late as 12 or I o'clock, or later, on clear nights, such as all nights have been lately, will see the planet, harder in the night they can com pare it with Venus, who is fleeing in the opposite direction. Venus, ordinarily, is bigger and brighter than Mars. It is whiter, but lately it has seemed to us that Mars is brighter. Certainly it will seem brighter soon, for it is rapid ly coming nearer the earth. For tunately there has been no moon lately to obscure the brightness of either Mars or Venus, and us die atmosphere has been clear one could get a splendid view, even without a telescope. Ordinarily Mars is earth shy. Astronomers say that usually it ranges some (50-odd million miles away from the earth. Now it is only 34-odd million miles away they tell us, and on a day in Au gust it will be even nearer. Astronomers assert that this time it will be nearer the earth by 2, 000,000 miles than it was in 1909 the last time it came "close.” It is every 1 5 or 18 years that the Perihelion (nearest) Opposition oc curs. Today astronomers are better equipped to obtain information about Mars than ever before in history. Telescopes and spectro scopes have been so improved and refined that they will enable ob server to study the details of tfie planet much more satisfactorily than formerly, although in 1909 Professor Lowell of Harvard learn ed more about it than had ever been known before. In the July number of World's Work, Mr. R. H. Platt, Jr., pub lished a very readable article about Mars and the surmise that it is in habited. Since 1892 some astron omers haye believed that there was life on the planet. Others have scoffed at the idea. CIVIC PRIDE. A man driving through Weldon a few days ago in an automobile tossed a newspaper from his car into the street. A housewife opened a can of vegetables and the empty can found its way into the alley. A young man and woman wan dering aimlessly down the street engrossed in themselves and the candy they were eating and the box was dropped on the sidewalk. A farmer’s horse lost a shoe in the street and a passerby, afraid of a puncture, picked it up and threw it into a vacant lot. A convival spirit in a secluded spot up the alley swallowed his last drink and dropped the bottle where he stood. And so it goes on from day to day, year to year, and has been going on for many years. A discarded article thrown down here, another there, something somewhere else, but always some thing that adds to the rubbish which clutters up the streets and alleys and makes the landscape less attractive. It is pure thoughtlessness—noth ing else. But the continued prac tice of these sort of habits on the part of the majority of people would soon make a deserted junk heap out of any community. Stop and think before you do anything that will detract from the attractive and cleanly appearance of Weldon. WELDON WINS. Weldon took the Triple R’s into camp Monday afternoon on the home grountts to the tune of 3 to 2. It was a pitcher’s battle be tween Holland and Gillman, with Holland having a shade the best of the argument. It was the best and fastest game seen on the home grounds this season. The feature of the game was the hilling of Clayton for Weldon, getting a sin gle, double and a home run in four trips to the plate. R. H. E. Weldon 3 7 2. Triple R’s 2 5 1.

August 6, 1892. — Died, at her residence about four miles front Halifax, yesterday of malarial fe ver Miss Mollie Stephenson, aged about thirty six years. Her niece Miss Minnie Stephenson, died at the same place of the same disease about three weeks ago. A few da>s ago a little colored boy was rescued from drowning in Roanoke river by Master David White, son of our townsman,Capt. T. N. White. The boy was in deep water and could not swim. He began to sink and called for help when David, who is only 12 years old, went out and brought him to shore. Friday night Buck Sally, a col ored man aboui twenty years old, was run over and killed near Gas ton by the shoofly train from Ral eigh to Weldon. Mrs. W. W. Faucett left yester day for a visit to Little'on. Mr. Jonie Cohen, of Fnfield.was in town Monday. Mrs. R. S. Hall, of Florence, S. C., is visiting friends in town. Miss Nellie I. Angell, of Galli pollis, Ohio, is visiting Mrs. R. C. Lassiter. Mrs. J. B. Timberlake and her daughter, Miss Mamie, of Raleigh, are visiting relatives in town. Rev. J. A.

The regular monthly meeting of the American Legion was held Monday night, August 4th. Four teen members were present. The report of the showing of the pic ture, Powder River was read. This picture had a wonderful at tendance. The Legion wants to thank all those who helped to make the show such a big success. The Weldon Library will receive ihe American Legion weekly as a gift from this post for one year. This post has grown fine and we hope that other comrades will soon join us. We now have the bonus blanks. All ex-service men wishing these blanks or any information in re gard to same, see Mr. Bascom Harrell at Ins office. Blanks will be filled out at no charge. Get your bonus fixed now. CLUB UIRLS ENCAMPMENT. The annual encampment of Hal ifax County Club Girls will be at Panacea Springs from August 11th I to the 15th. While the camp is in part a recreational feature of club work, it is not entirely so. The mornings will be devoted to class work in First Aid Lesson, Dress Design and some practical demon strations given by different club girls. The afternoons will be given i over to Arts and Crafts Work, story telling and recreations The evenings will be devoted to games, j stunts by different clubs and sing ing. We hope that all the parents will be interested in visiting the camp sometime during the week and watch the girls at work and play. You will be welcome at any time On Friday, the 15th, will be picnic day for all parents and club girls and w'e cordially invite you to come, bring your lunch and spend the day with us. B. A. THE FAIR The grand stand is nearly com pleted at the fair grounds, the stables and other buildings have been completed and in fact every thing is nearly ready to open the gates. The race track has been put in first-class condition and there will be some fine racing. Go ahead with your exhibits. Large premiums will be offered. Meet your old friends at the Halifax County Fair! SPRIGHTLY SPARKS. (lathered Mere and There and Everywhere. August is here. The last summer month. Peach dumplings are now pala table. Perspiration never reigns but it pores. Fans arc (lining and llirts are fanning. The harefooted boy now sports stumped toes. The school vacation days are on the home stretch. Everybody is talking about the Halifax County Fair. Get something ready to exhibit at the Halifax County Fair. The mosquito bills have lost none ol their old lime piquancy. Heading borrowed newspapers is said to be injurious to the eye sight. Picnic lemonade—one lemon, two ounces of sugar and a tub full of water. The man who says he under stands women is always too wise to try to prove it. The watermelon season is here, but no county-raised melons are in the market, as yet. Our advice to autoists around Weldon is to say it with brakes and save the flowers. It's easy to find fault, and yet some of us keep as busy at it as if there was a reward ottered. We agree with the fellow who said that political platforms read like ‘‘Yes, we have no bananas.” An eastern editor says wars are not going to last forever. Certain ly. The world won’t last that long. To stop hiccough, grasp the pulse of the left wrist with the right hand, press firmly for one minute. Our idea of a good news item is somethihg that happens to some body that we wish had happened to us. We hope ihe Weldon man who always finds something to harp on will he us fortunate in the next world. Some Weldon wives never ask [heir husband's advice in a matter until they decide what they are go ng to do. The nation’s wealth is now esti mated ut $362,000,000,000. The ast three figures represents our part of it. No\t> that most of us are peeled down to nothing we expect any minute to see the girls doning their summer furs. The Weldon man who stays out ill night will sooner or later get mo the habit of looking on the dark side of life. Wonder how much John D_ would have been worth by now if he had been a plasterer or a brick ayer all his life? Give a lot of men a pulpit and even without taking up a collection they couldn’t preach to you any more than they do. About the only time some Wel don husbands get the last word is when they say: ‘ All right, then, here's the money." Too many women are jealous of their husbands. What a woman ought to do is suspect her husband less and watch him more. A Vermont man is named Damnit. It must be nice to be able to sign that name when you’re making out a check to pay u bill. It’s always said of the best of them: “He was a good man, but-and he lias to die to get them to quit using that word “but." It's always safe To swat a fly Unless he’s on A custard pie. We see where a New York bro ker has bought a newspaper. Pret ty soon lie’ll know the difference between being a broker and being broke. A Weldon woman may do a lot of foolish things, but you never saw her sit on a box and whittle or spit tobacco juice at a little buy's bare feet. They say there’s nothing new under the sun. but we wouldn’t be surprised but what a lot of strange things are happening under the moon. POOR OLU DAD. Nuggets tells of a father of seven I who found himself strolling thru a strange and beautiful forest, when suddenly there stepped from behind the bush directly in front of | him a lovely young woman. In wild alarm he tried to climb a tree. But she gently restrained him, and putting an arm gracefully around his neck, she gently adjusted the .knot in his threadbare tie. “Why did you try to run away | from me?” she cooed when his struggles had ceased. •‘‘Madam, I have never been in- i troduced to you —I do not even ! know who you are," said the un- j happy man, deeply disturbed, "and j besides, I am a married man — ” "Listen, you poor fish,” she re plied, "I am wealth, 1 am promin ence, I am elegant houses, a yacht, ' and a clean shirt every day. I am leisure, I am travel, I am luxurious motor cars, a shiny hat and an un shiny coat. I am plenty to eat and drink and wear I am For tune.” “All right,” said the man, in a trembling whisper, as he summon ed up courage enough to take one of her hands and pat it nervously, "but for heaven’s sake, don’t talk so loud!” “Why not'" asked Fortune in surprise. “So as not to wake me," re- , plied the Father of Seven. And when his wife nudged him in the ribs at 5;30 and told him it was time to get up and fix the fur nace, she marveled at the beautiful calm that brooded upon his home ly features. BOOKS IN THE LIBRARY. In addition to about 200 vol umes of History, Biography and Fiction which have been collected in the years of its existence by the Book Club to form a nucleus for a public library, the following books have been added: Webster’s new International Dictionary, Premier Atlas, the new International En cyclopedia, 24 vols., Popular Sci ence and Industry, the Wonder World, the World Book, Organ ized Knowledge in Story and Pic ture, the travelling library from Raleigh for the Little Folks and new books of fiction as follows; "My Book and Heart,” Corra Harriss, "Polly Anna and Orange Blossoms," "The Covered Wag on," "The Danger Trails,” "The Lamp in the Desert,’’ “The White Sister,” "The Tempted Swan," ‘‘The Tin Soldier," "Slippy Mc Gee," "A Woman Named Smith" "David Copperfield, ” "Ishmael," and "Self-Raised.” Subscriptions to popular magazines and other new books will be added from lime to time and it is hoped the public will avail themselves of this oppor tunity for good reading DO YOU WANT ONE? The Children’s Home Society of North Carolina, located at Greensboro, N. C., now has ready for placement in approved foster homes a number of children, both boys and girls, and ranging in age from infants of a few months up to large boys and girls ten to fourteen years of age.

Massey has formed a co partnership with his brother, of Pleasant Hill, and will in a few days open a first-class bakery. The latest improved fix tures have already been placed in the building. A ..first-class bakery is something this town has needed for a great while. Our people have had to depend on Emporia and Rocky Mount for their bread and in some instances, you could not buy a loaf of bread in town. We welcome the new bakery and wish for the firm great success. FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY. Last Saturday was the fiftieth anniversary of ouresteeined towns man, Mr. J. L. Harris. Our friend is nearing his 78th birthday and is hale and hearty for one of his ad vanced age. We wish for Mr. and Mrs. Harris many more years of happy married life. COUNTV MOSPITAI.. At the regular meeting of the Commissioners iri Halifax on Mon day, August 4th, they decided to establish a Tubercular Department to the County Home and to erect a building on the grounds for the care of Tubercular patients of the county. This measure was urged by the Doctors of the county through Dr. T. VC'. M. Long, of Roanoke Rapids, and was passed without a dissenting vote. Dr. E. W. Larkin was instructed to pre pare plans for the erection of the building which is not to cost above $10,000 to be submitted to the Board at their meeting in Septem ber. CONFEDERATE CEMETERY. A committee of ladies from the Junius Daniel Chapter U. D. C., Mrs. Ida Wilkins, Mrs. J. S. Tur ner and Mrs. D. R. Anderson, went before the Highway Com missioners at their meeting on Monday last asking them to permit Mr. CL R Core, superintendent of Highways for Halifax county to clean up and put the old Confed erate Cemetery in West Weldon, in proper condition fur its perma ment upkeep. On motion of Mr. J. T. Chase, of Roanoke Rapids, they instructed Mr. Gore to do the work keeping a correct account of costs, etc., of which the com mission would pay one-half. The ladies then requested the Board of County Commissioners ;o pledge the other half. This af ter much discussion in which all igreed the work should be done, hey declined to do saying it should be done by private subscription ind each one pledging liberally to the cause. This plan will be car ried out by the Chapter and sub scriptions are requested as the work will be begun in the early Future and it is necessary to secure the other half of what the work will cost. Any amount in cash of subscription will be gratefully re ceived by Mrs. Wilkins or any member of the committee. FIFTY MILKS AN HOUR. Two negroes racing an automo jile Iasi Sunday evening, ran into me of ihe stop signals in ihestreei >n Washington avenue, carrying he sign about fifty leet across the ! ureei, completely demolishing the root of the car and bending one ixle and breaking a wheel. I he ;ign is built of solid concrete and veighs about 500 pounds. The Iriver was at once arrested and a iearch was made for liquor.

No better Christian man was ever born and reared in Halifax county than the Kev. Walter J. Smith. Peace to his ashes and evergreens to his memory. THE LOST SPIRIT. 1 went into the house of God, Some blessings there to share; But no one came to welcome me, Or even seemed to care. They sit and watched the service through And some would whisper low : Who is the stranger here today? But no one seemed to know. The preacher took a splendid text, Poured out the Word of God; With none to heed the gentle call, Or help to bear the rod. The service closed, they all walked out, None came to shake my hand; Or even say: We welcome you ! My friend, come back again! J.tH. Edwards. Weldon, N. C. SPOKE AT MACON. In the absence of Rev. H.
