Our neighbors on the South ile of Flat River are preparing build a new phone line. Thi! lrar.font ari crtr tr twi.t - 'trWiiui for lliri utH'k Hi and lots' of potatoes planted, f - ,-r - Wheat is looking better than was expected at one time; The toads are - out jumping around, but some are predicting that they will return to their holes to get a peek through their tee windows. 1 i . On last Monday, Tuesday and T 11T J v. I eanesaay, wnue some were plowing, their horses panted equal to summer time and we hope that those beautiful spring days with the rising of the sap, with the budding of the trees, with the blooming of fruit trees, with the warbling songs of birds. with the croaking of frogs, with the crawling of reptiles and with the Iwarra penetrating sun shine will not turn back to win ter. , TobaccoTpIants seem to be plentiful if a cold wave does not destroy them. The farmers are bringing oat their fertilizer for the next crop. I now hold a certificate of Agency for Person and ' Durham countys as ray territory in which to handle the Greenville washer. and a better machine you cannot find on the market. the washer works on the beverage principle and the clothes are cleaned be tween two rubbing boards, and a small boy or girl can do the work alright ;f I heard a man say a few days ago tan ne recently neiped one of his friends, raise, a , tobacco barn that was. alU cedar except me poies. Not long since I heard several men debating as to what acts in a man s life would down him quicker than another,' and they all decided for a man not to pay his just and honest debts when he could, would lower him in the estimation of man kind more than any other deed of his life, and they also claimed that a just debt never went out of date with an honest man. Some of our friends are ex ceedingly anxious to know why the county of Orange and Dur ham have a longer school term than Person county with the Terrell fund, added to the school: fund of Person, and they desire an answer through the col umns of The Recorder if any one sees fit to give a correct answer. iney ciaim tnat tneir taxes are more than ever, and they think that they are entitle to a longer school term with the increase of taxation for several years, and that supplemented by the Terrell fund. (From the best information we can gather is that the Terrell Fund is only used in Person for the erection of new buildings, and cannot be used for general expenses. One reason why Dur ham county has a longer term than Person county is possi biy due to the fact that many districts have a special tax for that purpose. Ed. Recorder.) ' On last Sunday I called on Mr. C. T. Pool and there I found 10 or 12 of his friends and neigh bors and after we all surrounded that well supplied dinner table where we partook of a hearty re past our cars caught the strains of that sweet music made by Mr. Pool on his Egrapherphone. Add C. TV Pool, to your sub scription list . Roper. seeing so much wet weatherV knowing it will make their crops late. From the amount of snow we had- Friday, it seemed like mid winter. But at last the rays of the golden sun light "peeps out" and makes us . all feel as good as possible. mm t ' - m "- mm ' " - J - Master &ariy Terry, ten years old son of W. J.

Walker is suffer- mg from a throat trouble, but is convalescent Misses Nannie and Mattie Ter ry spent a very pleasant after noon this week at the home' of Mrs. J. T. Tilley. We think if thecounty commis sioners were to travel over the roads in this community, the grading would be extended this way a little. Why, they are so awfully bad that a man going to Durham last week had a bucket of tbutter, his wagon , wheel dropped in a hole so deep that his butter was buried under the mud. It seems that butter is too costly to grade roads with.' There is lots of sickness in this neighborhood. But we trust on ly in God to he us, and restore us to health and strength. As the writer is suffering from neuralgia, will close with best wishes .to correspondents, and especially our kind editor. M.M.T. Sotfl UmH Hews. The firuuM we a little blu, Iran Steal. Most people here have gone in to winter quarters. The Stem school has three ex cellent teachers in Mr. and Mrs. A. M. t Jones, and Miss Lucy ones. They will give an enter tainment on the 16 and 17th of April and the public is cordially invited. Tobacco plants are coming up well. E. M. tori Iir lifters. Young men, love your mother. I have often been imprest with what is related of an Indian. He was asked if he was rowing a boat accompanied by his wife and mother across a dangerous stream, and if one had to be lost which of the two would he try the hardest to save? My moth er; for, said he," a man can get another wife, but he can never have but one mother.' Hannah the Mother of Prophet, Samuel, not only had a son serving God in his house, but she lived to see that son became, one of the most illustrious men. The last and best judge of Iseral for twenty years, the most honored of all the Prophets, and the makers of Kings. Ha became a great auth or, having composed the book of Ruth, one of the most charming productions of the ages; and while thousands of earth's popu lation have been honored with with his name, and were delight ed to wear it Hannah was also blest In that she had other sons and daughters to cheer her old age. ncn at me pinnacie ui oi greatness, Samuel was one that never forgot his mother, no truly great jnan never does many of us know how, James A. Garfield made his way to the Vhite House from the log cabin where his mother struggled to start him in life, there he was sopported and encouraged by the manuel labor of his dear mother. When magurated President of the United Stetes, the dear old mother rejoiced as she sat by his side, feeling that her prayers had been answered. 4 After he de delivered his inaugural address and taking the oath of office he forgot all else and turned aside from ex-President, Judges of the court, Senators, and the repre sentatives, and for a moment forgotihis wife, till he embraced his mother and printed a kiss of afeMbn on berwrinkled cheeks, for he then realized the value of her and her watchful care. How many of us would give this world for a glimpse of ourmothers who are dead and gone. I feel like the poet did when he wrote these lines.' Backward turn Backward 0 time . in your flight Make me a child again just for to-night Mother comeback from the echo less shore Take me again to your heart .as of yore; Kiss from my forehead the fur ' rows of care v Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair. Overiny slumbers your loving watch keep, Rock me to sleep mother rock me to sleep. I did not mean by warning the young men only, to leave young ladies out Dreamer 't::---m-r. 'From the Eoiboro Courier " We are informed by those who are in a position to know, that the matter of electric lights for Roxboro will soon be put up to the people of the town to say whether they want them or not Mr. Young Brown, who was one or Ferson s best citizens. died at his home at Hurdles Mill last Saturday, and was buried Sunday evening under the aus pices of the Masons, of which or der he was a member. Mr. Brown was 77 years old. The attendance at the burial was an unusually large one. Mr. Luther W. Thomas died at his home in Roxboro last Friday night, after a very brief illness of acute indigestion. Mr. Thorn as was on the streets only a few days before his death. He leaves a wife and nine children, with an aged father,, two brothers and several sisters to mourn his death.
