THE FRANKEIN , TIMES. jTa. THOMAS, JUdctor and Proprietor, Fbidat. May, 29; . . , .1896. NOTICE. Parties having business with the Times of any nature will confer a favor by call ing at the office of E. F. Yarborongh, associate editor, across -the passage from the composing room. The printers have no authority to make contracts nor at tend to any business connected with the paper, being employed solely to do type setting and other mechanical work. It causes a loss of their time, which often times delays the issue of the paper to have them attend to matters of the nature above referred to. Visitors are also re quested to be governed by this. TAE DROPS. Liberality in all things mean to mind one's own business. See local notice of Dr. E . F. Early elsewhere in this issue. This world is what we make it, eith er a heaven or a hell, and we are a long time dead. A number of our citizens attended Wake Forest College Commencement this week. Wnotice from the Henderson Hustler that Col. W. T. Hughes was in that town last Friday. When sorrow, misfortune or bad luck overtakes you, put on an extra hustle and console yourself by thinking how much worse it might have been. The. insurance fraternity has a new member in the person of Mr. J.J. Person. He is the representative of the Fidelity Mutual Life Association, of Philadelphia. We wish him success. Federal Court is in session at Ral eigh, and Messrs. R. F. Yarborongh and Moses Neal, of Louisburg, left Monday to 'attend the same, having been summoned to serve on the jury. One or two subscribers have ordered their paper discontinued, and we have promptly complied with their request. Now if they will as promptly pay us what they owe, we will be greatly obliged. The way to have your paper stopped is a very simple matter. Simply write and request that it be done, and at the same time remit what you owe. Then it will afford us genuine pleasure to com ply with the request. There are no empty business houses and residences in town at the present time. They are always in demand, and the demand is nearly always greater than the supply. Louisburg property always pays. We return thanks to Mr. N. M. Law rence, superintendent, for an invitation to attend the annual celebration of the Oxford Orphan Asylum on June 24th. The Grand Lodge of Masons meet there on that date. Remember the meeting of the Confed erate Veterans called to morrow, (Satur day, the 30th) to take under considera tion the question of attending the Grand Re-union at Richmond, Va., J une 30th. It is earnestly desired that every Veteran in the county attend. We wish to state plain, and we hope our friends will please bear it in mind, that we charge 5 cents a line for resolu tions of respect, cards of thanks and obit uaries. This is a rule adopted by the North Carolina Press Association, of which we are a member. It is with pleasure we announce the formation of a co-partnership between those clever gentlemen and skillful phy sicians, Drs. E. S. Fosterand J. E. Ma lone. Nothing that we could say could add anything to the State-wide reputation en joyed by those two distinguished prac titioners. Their card appears elsewhere. County Commissioners meet next Monday it being the first Monday in J une. Several matters of importance will come before ihem, among which is the selection of text books tobe used in the public schools of the county for the next scholastic rear. The selection of books was put inth,eir hands by an act of the last legislature. The novelty having about worn off the telephone is now being nsed only for business purposes. It is, however, prov ing a great convenience, and the wonder :: We hare made arrangements .with the American SPress Association, one of the leading News Ageneies of the conn, try, to supply uw weekly with an inter esting, snort, non-political Washington letter. We think this a really valuable feature" and hope it will prove interes ting to our readers. Commencing with next weefc.it will appear, regularly on our first page. - The series of servises which have been conducted from the .Baptist church for the past week or two, concluded last Sunday night.. All who we have heard express themselves . say that they have been greatly benefitted and strengthened spiritually. Rev. Mr. Duke who con ducted most of the services, made a fine impression upon our people and will be long remembered. The commencement exercises of Wakefield Classical Institute, of Wake field, N. C, will take place June 4th. Commencement sermon by Rev. James Long, and literary address by Rev J. W Garter. The Louisburg Orchestra will furnish the music. In addition to -the regular exercises, Monday night will be "children's night," devoted especially to the little folk, and on Wednesday night there wilt be an interesting debate and musicale. Prof. Hugh Long, the prin cipal, has our thanks for an invitation to attend. We desire to give our hearty approval to the fines imposed by Mayor Person and Mayor Protem J. B. Yarborongh upon the parties before them this week for disturbing the quiet of the town by loud swearing and other unseemly con duct upon the streets. There is less ex cuse in our opinion for violation of this ordinance than almost any other, and it is time that those who do not respect themselves sufficiently to refrain from such ocndnct, to learn that they must have some regard for other people. We trust that there will be no let up on the part of the officers until this nuisance is abated. In our local a few weeks ago regard ing the telephone and mentioning the fact that the Henderson connection would enable Lonisbnrg people to avail them selves of the Postal telegraph line, we in tended no reflection on the Louisburg telegraphjCOtnpany or any of its officers or employees. We desire to state most emphatically that ourselves and the en tire community are under many obliga tions to the last named company, as they have during election and all other times obliged us in every possible way by fur nishing the news, &c, at exceedingly low rates. ' What we meant was that the Pos tal gave much quicker service than- the Western Union, not being so handicapped with railroad business, and connection with it would thereby prove of benefit to our business men and others who de sire to keep abreast of the market. Sunday's issue of the "News-Observer" gives a reproduction of the design of the massive punch bowl to be given by the State of North Carolina to the Cruiser "Raleigh." It is the selection of the committee appointed by the Gov ernor to-select a present for the Cruiser named for the State's capitol city, pur suant to a long established custom of States and cities giving presents to ships named by the Navy Department in tneir honor. We clip the following description. The bowl is of sterling silver, and will weigh three hundred ounces. It meas ures 12 inches in height and is 21 inches across. It rises from a massive pedestal of eight Dolphin heads with the spreads of tour large shield like shells upon which the medallions and engravings are fixed. In numeral shells and conch scroll work introduces a finishing touch which gives the entire bowl an artistic marine effect. It will have a capacity of six gallons. On one end is the Great-Seal of North Caro lina in bold relief, and on the other the seal of the Navy Department. The in scription is : "The State of North Caro lina to the United States Cruiser Kaleign, 1896. On one side is an etching of the cruiser. A solid silver ladle, of simi lar design and inscription, will accom pany the bowl. The presentation will be at Southport, and arrangements for the event are now being made. A prety custom prevails among the ships in our navy. Every Saturday night the officers gather around the board, and the senior gives the toast : "To the ab sent ones : our wives and sweethearts; may our wives be our sweethearts and our sweethearts be our wives." Improvement Notes. . Mr. J. B. Thomas will, we learn, soon commence the erection of a commodious tobacco prize house. ' Work on Mr. S.S. Meadows' new resi dence is being rapidly pushed. Mr. W. B. Green has let the contract for the erection of a seven-room dwelling on the lot recently purchased by him corner of Nash and Spring streets. Personal. Capt. C. M. Cooke went to Raleigh Tuesday. Mrs. R. F. Yarborongh is visiting rela tives in Raleigh. Miss Birdie Person is visiting relatives at Wake Forest. We are glad to see Mr. Geo. Uzzle, the well-known contractor, in town again. Mr. J. L. Webb, Cashier of the Bank of Nashville, spent Sunday with his peo ple here. Mr. Thomas A. Person is back again from Tarboro and will now remain nntil the opening of the tobacco market again at the latter place. ' Messrs. C. M. Cooke, J . R. Collie and E. F. Yarborongh visited Henderson last week in the interest of the newly organ ized Knights of Pythias lodge at that place. Try Battle Ax, at Crenshaw Hicks A Alien.

Love and liquor do not long inhabit the same house. It is scandal's slimy story that makes old Satan smile. 'Tis the convict who makes a grate study of life. Food for reflection never yet filled an empty stomach. Many "heavy swells" float on the bill- owes of credit. It certainly is not a mistake for a man to marry a widow. A long engagement is what we would call a slow match. The best religion of all is that which makes us loye our fellowmen. Printer's ink when used as paint, will make a sinner look a saint. Maid of Orange sweet little dear, have you proposed during leap year ? Never judge a moustache by its color, nor call it by such a name when its down. The number of people engaged in crush- I ing truth to earth is surprisingly large. People who start libel suits are seldom enabled to dress better as a" result of the same. There would be heaven in every heart if you would only stifle the selfishness in your own soul. To be or not to be whether it is better ! to be a base ball player or a bicycle rider that's the question. Orange (Va.) Observer.

There was au interesting "breach of promise of marriage" case tried in our .neighboring town of Henderson during the recent term of Tance Superior Court. Miss Mary Clay, of Stovall, . C, the damsel whose affections had been trifled with, was the plaintiff in the action. The defendant was Kenneth Satterfield, of Henderson. Mr. Spruill, of, the Louis burg bar, was among the counsel em ployed in the case, appearing for the de tendant. The trial resulted in a sen University of N. C. Commencement. The programme of .the above occasion published in our last issue gives prom ise of an exceedingly interesting and in structive time for all who attend. The exercises begin with the Baccalaureate 8ermon by Bishop Bondthaler, of the Moravian church, on Sunday, the 31st. Among the features will be an address by Vice-President Stevenson. We hope Louisburg people will show their interest tence of four years in the penitentiary in this great State institution by largely for Satterfield. Messrs.
