All wUI start
To Trenton with girto and boys,
Hearts are light
With their little inite
When of Kinsey, buy Christmas
toys.

For a little fun,
W. C. Kinsey keeps them all.
Candy and cakes,
Some like snow flakes,
And the cost is exceedingly small.
Pop-crackers, skyrockets
In boy's pockets,
To Kinsey, but little he pays.
A pop a crack
Our minds go back.

A doll, a laugh,
Not like a calf,
To please girls, large and small.
A train, a cradle,
A nice soup ladle,
To please mamma,-baby and all.
Go one, go all,
Lean, lank and tall,

only discovered the next morning

We again ask those who owe us
for subscription to come foward and
pay at once. It is t*e the amount
you owe is small, but when you put
two or thrqe hundred such sums to
gether it means much to us. Wc
earnestly ask you to attend lo this
matter at once.
Wc call special attention of the
readers of the Ni'vvs to the adver
tisement of Oettlnger Bros., Kins
ton, N. C. It will be seen that they
agree to deduct jocents from every
£lO purchase upon the presenta
tion of the paper containing the ad
vertisement. This is worth saving
these hard times, and they will sell
you goods as cheap as any other
firm in Kinston or any where else.
The first issue ,of the Morning
Post, published in Raleigh, N. C.
made its appearance Dec. ist. The
Post is published by a company with
G. O. Andrew* President and W.
P. Whitaker, Secretary. Its politics
is democratic, its news service the
best, and its typhographical appear
ance handsome. It can readily be
classed with the first metropolitan
dailies of the country. We wish
the Post all possible success.
Wc notice from the conference
proceedings that Rev. J. M. Benson,
the beloved pastor of Jones circuit,
stood a splendid examination and
was duly received as a member of
the N. C. Conference, at its recent
session in Raleigh. Mr. Benson has
been returned to this circuit, greatly
to the delight of its members. May
this conference year be the best in
all his ministry.

Wallace E., son of James F. Scott,
at his home on Riverside Farm,
near this city, Nov. 27th, age 7
years, 1 month.—Newberne Journal
The infant child of Dr. and Mre.
R. A. Whitaker, died last Friday at
11 o’clock, age about 14 hours. An
other little bud transplanted in heav
jcn. The bereaved parents have the
sympathy of"this community.
A little child of Dan Stanley, near
Maysville, was burned to death last
week. Mrs. Stanley, the mother
I had gone to the garden for some
vegetables, when she heard the child
scream, and hastening to find the
cause found it wrapped in flames.
It was horribly burned, and lived
only about four hours.
Neta, the daghter of Mr, and Mrs.
J, R. Williams, died at her home
in Kinston December 2d, 1897, in
the 16 year of her age. SJie was
sick only a few clays with Herttorag
ic fever. Many are the hearts that
are sore over her departure, yet they
sorrow not as those who have no
hope. She spent some time in Tren
ton this fall with her aunt, Mrs Ben
son, and won the hearts of all who
knew her by her frank, bright and
happy life. She is not lost but gone
before, she has but passed through
glory’s morning gate to walk in par
adise.
