Chittenden, and re organized by electing the following officers for the year: President, Hazel Burt Grant; vice-president, Eugenia Hudson; secretary, Vir ginia Turner; treasurer, Elizabeth Chittenden. The leader appointed committees for different work and instructed the children as to the obligations of the Chapter. It was voted to make the dues 51 c a year each and the meetings will be held on the third Thursday afternoons in each month. Five new names were given for membership and a drive will be made to secure the name of every child in Weldon who is eligible and wishes to join. Those who wish to become mem bers call on Mrs. Ida Wilkins, who will furnish blanks and assist in fi’ling them out. At the close of the business ses sion Miss Elizabeth Chittenden as sisted by other members of the Chapter served chocolate and wafers which were much enjoyed. OHANTED A PATENT. We notice in the report sent out by Swift & Co., Patent Lawyers, Washington, D. C., that a patent has been granted our young friend, Mr. Hubert L. Clary, Weldon, N. C., for a two-color stamp. We have not seen ihestamp, but know ing the young man as we do, we will bet our last cent that the stamp is O. K. He is a very bright young man and will make a great success one of these days. You just watch him. Take It Before doing. Do yon want to be that unfortunate person whose coughing at church, con cert, lecture or theatre blots out the word we most want to hear. Chamber Iain’s Cough Remedy helps these ern barasscd ones, quickly puts au end to coughing, tickling throat and nervous hacking. SPRIGHTLY SPARKS. (lathered Here and There and Everywhere. 1'iirewell turkeys. Cold, frosty mornings. Christmas is not far off. Today is a legal holiday. Nice weather for hunting. Today is Thanksgiving day. Lots of cotton in the fields yet. Look out for cold weather now. Don’t forget the orphans today. The era of gunning casualties has arrived. Old Santa Claus will soon he here, children. A useless waste is one that will not be squeezed. Christmas is the next event to look forward to. Beautiful pictures are made at Brinkley’s Studio. Turkey and cranberry jelly will rule the roast today. Old mollie cotton tails are fat these frosty mornings. Several of our citizens are at tending court at Halifax. Autumn leaves, like pretty girls, look prettier when pressed. Nearly everybody h3s the worst cold they ever had in all their lives. r.ggs are very scarce and high and the egg nog season is fast ap proaching. Nature evens things up, after all. What if a cat had to carry insur ance on all of its nine lives ? One of the hardest things to find in Weldon is a friend who isn’t hard up at the same time you are. Nothing can equal the sneer a bald-headed man has for the Willie boy with his hair hanging down in his eyes. Almost any town can support from three to five citizens who wear three dollar hats on thirty cent heads. It is not too soon to consider your Christmas present. You should remember the old as well as the young. The man who can hum a hymn while putting up a stove pipe, should be taken into church with out probation. They say that President Cool idge never smiles. Wonder if he has ever seen a pair of those bell bottomed pants ? Some States enjoy ridiculing the senators from other States. It helps them to forget the shortcom ings of their own. The tireless cooker may be all right, but it’s not as comfortable as the old kitchen stove when you back up to it on a cold day. It won’t be long now until a fel low can explain to his wife that he was late getting to supper be cause his airpl me got caught in a fog. We know a Weldon man who says he doesn’t like two-pant suits because n makes him uncom fortable to w.ar two pairs at a time. It has about reached the point where the up to date village is made up of two stores,one church, meat market, a drug store and ten garages. Noah could have saved the world a lot of trouble if he had swatted those two bad-cold microbes as they marched ud the gang-plank of the ark. The old-fashioned Weldon boy who used to consider it smart to build a rabbit trap now has a grand son who thinks nothing of building a radio set. Sometimes we see a Weldon girl so pretty we feel like walking right up and telling her how good looking she is, and then we think of how unbecoming we would be with a black eye. After a man has been married about twenty yeats he’d like to have a dollar for every time his wife has said: “I wish I had some thing decent to wear like other women." OLD FOLKS’ CONCERT. An old folks’ concert will be given at the school auditorium on Friday night, December 5th. The concert will consist of old time music. The minuet will be danced with all the grace of by-gone days and the entertainment will be con cluded by dancing the Old Virginia Reel. A rare entertainment is in store for all those who attend. A full program will be published in our next issue. OOTS M DASHES About Folks You Know, Will Know, or Ought To Know. Mr. 1). J. Millikin, of Halifax, was a visitor here last week. Mr. and Mrs. 1). R.

James and children, of Elkin, who have been visiting Mr. and Mrs. J. A John ston, returned home last week. Soon after reaching home Mrs. James was taken with appendicitis and was successfully operated on. BETTER GET BUSY. We don’t intend this us a threat, but the Weldon mer chant who wants to get all that is coming to him ought to drop around to the postoffice and get a glimpse of the mail, the kind of mail, that is now coming in. He’ll find that a large part of it consists of catalogues and circular appeals, offering everything for Christmas and the holiday season that the buying public is going to want. Right now the mail order houses are laying their lines for capturing the greatest holiday trade they’ve ever known. They haven't any thing better, nor any cheaper than home merchants can offer—but it’s up to the home merchant to make the buying public realise that fact. And he isn't going to do it by word or mouth. The mail-order people know how. They've learn ed the secret ot selling goods—and you only have to go to the postof fice and see the class of mail com ing through to realize it. Their secret is no longer a secret to the wise merchant. It is nothing more than use ’’Printer’s Ink.” And if he doesn't get his share of the bus iness this season it’s because he isn't as wise as the mail order men. DOMESTIC DIPLOMACY. Junior (Mother listening)—“Pa pa did you ever see an angel?” Father— "Did 1 ever see an angel? Why, my boy. I've lived with one ever since 1 was mar ried." (This earns Father a night out.) Just That Quickly, They Help. Do you not feel good ? Very likely your liver is at fault. Won’t you try Chamberlain’s Tablets? .Jusi one or two at bedtime, sleep well at night, feel better in the morning. Never any un pleasant “next day” effect Try them, only :35c. MEETING OF THE BOOK CLUB. Mrs. W. T. Shaw entertained i the ladies of ihe Book Club on I Tuesday, November I81I1. A | light snow having fallen together j with the dark gray clouds made | the occasion a typical I banksgiv- j ing one. Our president, Mrs. Poe, presi- ! ded. Current events was the re- j sponse in roll call. A continuation of present day literature brings us j to Luigi Pirandello, an Italian, ! who was born 1867, for many | years a teacher in Home. His novels are deservedly popular, ever figuring as best sellers, and his fiction, poetry and drama has been steady for years. His plays are considered in the history of contemporary drama. A paper by Mrs. W. A. Pierce on his life was interesting. Mrs. Poe gave a reading on the plays of Pirandello in which six characters 'in search of an author’ is considered his best. His fame as a dramatist was made after the presentation of this play. Lovely music concluded the program. Duet by Mrs. Vinson and Mrs. Shaw, (II Trovatore.) Voice selection by Mrs. Shaw, Schubert’s Serenade. The guests were invited in the tea room. They were greeted by Mrs. R. A. Musgrove and Miss Anna Shaw who were attired in the primitive style of the Puritan maiden, and were ready to serve a beautiful turkey dinner which was much enjoyed. The autumn leaves, roses and chrysanthemums were the attrac tive decorations. Guests of the Club were Mrs. E. L. Williams, Miss Pattie Shaw, Mrs. J. B. Zollicoffer, Mrs. A. S. Allen and Mrs. W. O. Davis. IMPORTANT MEETING. There will be a very important meeting of the Route Porty High way Association in Wallace, N. C., on Tuesday, December 2, at 6 P. M. , in the Pine View Hotel dining room. Hon. Frank Mills, Presi dent of the South Atlantic Coastal Highway Association and Mr. Fred G. Ward, Secretary, will beat this meeting. I have been asked by our State Chairman to see that Halifax coun ty is represented at this meeting and to advise him the number who will attend from this county. Those who will go will please notify me at once that I may for ward your name to our chairman. Very truly yours, C. F. Gone, Halifax County Chairman. THANKSGIVING. Today, great Nation, anthems raise ToGod, in voice of thankful praise. Thank Him who gives thee life and health— Thy brain and brawn to garner wealth, Which He doth lend thee as thine own. Thank Him for gracious mercies shown; Thank Him for harvests from the land— For blessings rich on every hand. Look up and give thy heart full sway, Remembering, ’tis Thanksgiving Day. —B. Morehouse. IT'S COMINU. In a short time our live and en ergetic townsman, Mr. Henry Farber will commence the erec tion of a handsome three story brick building on his lot on Wash ington avenue. The first floor will be fitted up for an opera house, something the town is sadly in need of. This opera house will be fitted up with latest improved fix tures, nice comfortable seats, large stage, heated and well lighted. In other words, it will be first-class and up-to-date in every particular. It will be 3 building that the citi zens of the town will be proud of. Mr. Farber says it’s coming and he is a man of his word. Take Them and Be (Had. When you feel dull and stupid after eating, Chamberlain’s Tablets stimulate the action of the stomach, liver and bowels, and your whole body responds to their wholesome influence. Try them. Only 26c. MAKES HIM HOMESICK. "Shui ihe door,” yelled ihe rough man. ‘‘Where were you raised—in a barn?” The man addressed complied bu! ihe speaker, looking at him a j moment later observed that he was ■ in tear-. (loing over to the victim l he apologized. "Oh, come,” he said soothingly, “you shouldn't take it to heart be cause I asked if you were raised in a barn.” “That's it, that's it, sobbed the other man. "I was raised in a barn and it makes me homesick j every time 1 hear an ass bray,” THE WOMAN’S CLUH On Friday a called meeting of the Woman’s Club was held at the 1 home of Mrs. O. W. Fierce for j the purpose of formulating plans j for work for ensuing year. All ; those who were especially inter- j ested in the progress and success of the Club were asked to be pres ent. Nothing means more to the community than this organization, and the renewed interest mani fested among the members prom ises great things for the future. TWO FINE SERMONS. A large congregation worshipped at the M. H. church on Sunday last and listened to two fine sermons by "The New Pastor”, Rev. G. W. Perry. Mr. Perry expressed himself as being delighted at his return to Weldon and we assure him the Weldon people are t/t lighted to have him back. Five new adult members have been re ceived since conference and the prospects for another successful year are extra promising. SHARP EVES AND KEEN EARS, j Two men were telling about their remarkable power of sight and hearing. “Do you see that house over there on the horizon?” said one. "Yes,” was the reply. “Can you see that fly walking around on the roof?” “No, but I can hear the shingles cracking when he steps on them,” replied the second. DAVE EPPS DEAD. Dave Epps a well known colored man of this [own, died at his home here on last Friday. Dave had many friends among white people who will learn of his passing with regret. For many years he looked after the base ball grounds, during ball season, and was always ! ■eady too shout whenever our aoys would win the gome. May le rest in peace.
