Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASXOR I A They say the stock market is running wild, but it won’t be half as wild as some of the fellows who are now trying to keep up with it wiP be a little later on. Colds, Grippe, Dengue. Headaches, Constipation, Biliousness. It is tbe most speody remedy we know. Is a Prescription lor L SPBIGHTLY SPARKS. Gathered litre and There and feverywhere. The good auto drivers do not die young— hut they make a lot ol others do so. A man ol leu words hasn't any business try mg 1.1 - Ive these if a cross wind pu/zV A Seattle daiieet IVii and broke her nose. She must have been doing the "aviation glide." A thrifty nun thinks he is a good spender, but that isn't a modern girl s idea ol a good spender. Afier all, it's the fathead and noi the overhead that makes it cost so much to run the government China has recognized Russia, but it’s a question now of how long China is going to recognize her self. Don’t call i man a liar just be cause he says he never had a fight with his wife. Maybe he's a bach elor. Some folks follow the old adage about keeping the saw in the log, but they keep it too still for busi ness. Political differences are not hurt ing America. It’s the political in difference (hat Joes the greatest harm. There's one secret most Weldon wives never keep from their hus bands, and that is their opinion of them. A lot of people will he unhappy in heaven when they find ihey can not pass any laws or institute any reforms. Sooner or later every tnan finds out that it's just about as hard to get along without i woman as it is with one. We heard a Weldon mail say yesterday that they ^ all it a "bum per crop” when the price-, hump the farmer. Haven't you noticed diet some fellows put in more energy shirk ing lhan ihey would need tu put in working ? It doesn't do any good for Wel don parents to worry over their children—all they do is worry their children by it. It has been our observation that the honeymoon ends this day and time when the collectors start com ing to the house. Asking tor a match has started many a conversation when a fellow couldn’t think of anything 10 say about the weather. We sometimes feel that a good many divorces could he avoided it the cooking schools of the country had more scholars. Every now and then we read about a man who tries for a hero medal and winds up by making a darned fool of himself. The auto driver who hesitates at the railroad crossing says good bye to the caboose instead of how dy-do to the undertaker. The principal difference between a cow chewing Iwr chud and a girl chewing gum is that the cow can always look unconcerned. We've come to the conclusion that the trouble with the average Weldon man is that he considers himself above the average. There are a lot of great men in this country, hut few who can keep from looking silly when being pho tographed for the movies. IJp in Maine a woman captured a deer in her front yard. Here in Weldon quite a few girls eupiuic dears in their front rooms. Years ago the "full dinner pail" was a popular slogan in this coun try but the present generation seems to favor the "full gas tank." Who among us in Weldon can remember when all men wore sus penders and when they occasion ally hung a man in this country for murder? There are people' in Weldon who can show you your faults with much pleasure as if they were pointing out the sights of the town to a stranger. "When 1 was a boy," says Un de Luke, "it wasn’t so hard to lo cate the seat of childish troubles. Father usually could locate it with a razor strop. After some g; Is have wiped the dust off the piano and cleaned the keys they are so exhausted that they have to sit down and let moth er finish the housework. Most Weldon men who get a circular from a fake stock-selling concern would give the price of a share of the stock to find out who sent in their names. Mr and Mrs V- -V pierce I n tertained a I arge Number uf t riciuls on New Year s live. One of the most charming social events of the holiday sea ion was en i ■ , v.' alien Mr. and Mrs W A l’i [ • ■ ■ tenanted a I trge number of 11 tends on New Year's Live at ilu-i; nonieo; Washington avenue. The ueiidv' dowt pour of rain at the ippointed hour, nine o'clock, served only to accentuate by con trast the charming glow of hospi tality which greeted the guests upon entering. The entire lower floor v.as thrown en suite for the rccasion and front drawing room, library, music room, Jming room, solarium and halls glowing fires, softly shaded lights, cheerful gar lands and greens and the sparkling twinkle of myriad Christmas tree decorations beamed their welcome. The guests were greeted at the door by the host unJ hostess, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Pierce, assisted by Dr. and Mrs. li. D. Poe. They were then invited by Miss Kate Garrett into the solarium where amid a bower of ferns and grow ing plants delicious punch was served by Mrs. W. J. Ward and Mrs. L C. Draper. So genuine was the hospitality, so congenial the atmosphere that the guests felt free to wander at will among the rooms engaging in casual, or frivolous or serious con versation as occasion and tempera ment prompted. eventually interest centereu around the piano when Mrs. W. T. Shaw and Miss Garrett began playing some of die old favorites and soon all the guests were hav ing the time of their lives as they joined in singing “My Bonnie I.it’s Over tiie Ocean, “Wait for the Wagon,” “Sweet Genevieve," “Polly Wolly Doodle,” and other favorites, both ludicrous and senti mental. Several charmingly ren dered vocal solos by Mrs. K. I. Daniel were particularly enjoyed. Shortly before the passing of die old year, die gu-.sts were invited into the dining room where Mrs T. ( . Harrison and Mrs. O W. Pierce presided most gracefully in serving delicious ices in Christmas colors w ith cakes arid mints. Misses Virginia Turner, Virginia Green, Betty Boney and Hliz ibeth Allen, four lovely girls of tiie younger set, assisted in serving the guests. Later they brought in and deposi ted on the table a variegated assort ment of delightful imp :rted favors in the shape of unique piper hats and head dresses, and an assort ment ol toy musical instruments and horns and whistles. Lach guest chose the hat and the instru ment which most appealed to him, and when twelve o’clock struck the Ne a V ar was welcomed in by a discord ol strange sounds as George Washington playing an accordion do ported witii Winged Plenum piping merrily on a whis tie, and ot1 cr combinations equally ludicrous. At a late hour the guests were ag ii:i assembled in the solarium for a farewell glass of punch and and toasts to the New Year. As they were leaving, the guests all grouped themselves around the open fireplace and sang heartily and just a trifle wistfully at parting, the old tone ; a, rite, “Goodnight Ladies.” Included it, Mr. : d Mrs Pierce’s guest list were a number of people promi.ient in sod il ci< dc: ot VC el don, Halifax, Roanoke Rapids and Jackson.

COASTAL HIGHWAY. li “30” and “40 ’ Routes Adopted. Wilmington,Jan. 5.—State high way routes 40 and 30, both of which touch Wilmington, have been officially adopted as routes of the South Atlantic Coastal High way, according to a telegram re ceived by L. P. Davis, secretary of the Warsaw chamber of com merce, from Fred G. Ward, secre tary-manager of the South Atlantic Coastal Highway Association, of Brunswick. This highway extends from Maine to Key West, Florida, through Washington, D. C. As stated by Mr. Ward at a recent banquet in his honor at Wallace, ‘Five hundred thousand automo biles would traverse this highway annually, to Miami, Florida." News of the adoption of Koute 40 will be learned with pleasure by all towns and cities along its way, and it is especially pleasing to the citizens of Weldon. The movement received the hearty support of civic organiza tions m Pastern Carolina counties, and much credit is due them for this accomplishment which will be of untold benefit to the entire east. TOTAL ECLIPSE. Moon To Pass Between Barth and Sun — To Be Only Partial Eclipse Here. On the morning of Saturday, January 24, there will be a total eclipse of the sun visible in the eastern United States and Canada along a path extending southeast from central Minnesota through Long Island. It will be visible as a partial eclipse through a wide area of the western world. So im portant is this event, the only one of the kind which will be seen by millions of Americans, that the American Astronomical Association urges a stop of all ordinary activi ties during the eclipse, which in many regions will be seen in the twentieth century. The scientific world is assem bling its forces for observation along strategic points along the path of darkness, but in addition this eclipse will come under the observation of army of radio fans. Cloudy weather can spoil the chances for the men with tele scopes, but if a radio set adorns your living room you may observe the eclipse with your ears. Radio is going to play a leading role in this celestial performance. Not that any messages are looked for from that solar parent of ours who has a temperature of 10,000 de grees Fahrenheit, but it is possible some change may be noted in the magnetic and electric conditions of the earth. Static may be effected by the eclipse in some marked way. John Jones listening in at his receiver at Mackinaw, Michigan, or lorn Smith in New York may hear a rumble or a hush that will herald a great new discovery. On the other hand, he may not.

I'M petformance was u i q ie ia that the sinsi g of “Alone was the iirst lime Mr. McCormick ever gave an audi ence, radio, theatrical, phono graph, or otherwise an opportuni ty to hear hint sing this touching masterpiece. SO THERE! "Huh!" he snorted, after read ing the account of the wedding “Always the ‘blushing bride’! That’s the bunk!" ‘‘Oh, no, it isn't," replied the Mrs Sweetiy. "Just consider the | kind of men women have to tnar I ry.” NOT A CHANCE. “Just let me have one—just one!" he begged. "I’ll never tell a soul.” She gazed on hint pityingly. ‘‘No, Gerald," she teplied, firm ly. “Mamma has every one of cigarettes counted, ana she knows I smoke a different brand." HUBBY’S HEAD.
