VVe will be glad - to have all

Quite a number of our people
expect to take in the Sunday School
excursion to Raleigh to-day,
A force of hands were busy at
work on the northern end ot the
yard laying a side track for the Sea
board yesterday.
The first game of ball of a se
ries with the Oxford team was play
ed last Friday in Oxford and result
ed in a score of 10 to 2 in Oxford's
favor.
The colored game of ball be
tween Kittrall and. Franklinton here
Friday resulted in Kjttrell defeating
the home team 6 to 3. Cooke, the
home boy's pitcher, was off.
Let each citizen see if they can
not get at least one item for our re
porter each week. If you will only
do this you will find a big difference
in the news service of this depart
ment. The work on tle "good roads"
has been commenced by the survey
ing of the old Chavia road from the
river to town. We learn that the
building will commence as soon as
the 8urvving is complete.
A game of ball was played here
yesterday between .the home team
and the Oxford team, which resulted
in a score of 7 to 4 in favor of Ox
ford. Although the weather was
verv unfavorable auite a nice crowd
enjoyed the game.
On account of the series of
meetings being held at the Methodist
church the regular meeting (at
which the newly elected ofiicers
were to have been installed) of the
Jr. O. XT. A. M. was postponed until
next Monday night. All newly
elected officers are requested to be
present to be installed.
Business men of Franklinton
this is the time of the year to adver
tise and by not doing so you are
greatly in your own light. Think
the matter over soundly and see if
you don't agree with us. An adver
tisement is an index to your business
eo that a person can see what they
want and whkbb to get it.
The meetings at the Methodist
church are still going on and we
learn that much good is already in
evidence. The sermons preached
by Rev. Mr. Browning are able and
convincing, and oar people are show
ing their appreciations by giving
him good audiences. We learn that
the meetings will probably come to
a close Friday night.
Boys what has become of the
band? This is too good an enter
prise to let drop. Let all tkose who
have taken part in the- workings ' of
the band begin anew and run the
organization to a finish. Gentlemen
ot Franklinton it appears to us that
it is up to you to see that an organi
zation of this kind should jbe Kept
up. Lend the boys some encourage
ment, and thereby gite .them some
thing to work for.
-Co. F. had a regular target
practice last Friday evening in their
armory on their gallery range.

scores. Capt Kearney wants every

A Thought on Spelling:.
When the old blue-back spelling
book of Noah Webster, a volume
that had a sale second U the Holy
Bible only, was a textbook in erery
American primary school the pupils
were much more accomplished spell
ers than they are under the new fad
of "intensive education." In those
days the pupil was set to barn the
alphabet before he was allowed to
spell "botany" or "asperity." Now
they put them to reading aphorisms
oeiore ne can xeii you a -o ' irom a
"d," or a p" from a q."
A good speller is an exception,
more less rare, and is always deficit
in the faculty of imagination, and
qenerally deliberate of thought one
whose hand mores as swift as bis
mind thinks. All of us recall what
. .. ..
a .miserable speller Marlborough
was, and Napoleon Bonaparte's
mind thought with such lightnibg
rapidity that ere he had fashioned
one word, when writing,1 he had; At
tacnea to it a syllable or a part' ox a
syllable of the sncceeding word.
That was one reason why his manu
scupt was the despair of those Whose
part it aa to decipher it. j
But after all, spelling, in some re
spects, is to the Writer what the
pedigree is to . the"' horse. On the
turf the racer without 'a pedigree
that can beat, a riVal with a 'pedigree'
is the better horse, and a w ork by a
mail like,. De Foe, f witb ; half the

SOMETHING NEW IN WED
DINGS. A Wisconsin couple on the eve of
their marriage the other day made
an announcement of a novel depart
ure from the ordinary procedure on
such occasions. They let it ,be
known that no invitation to the
wedding would be sent ou,t and no
presents guld be expected, out that
an admission fee would be colUcted
at the church door fro all who
wished to witness the ceremony.
This was done, as stated in the an
nouncement, for the purpose of rais
ing a fund upon which the couple
might begin their married life. So,
instead of getting a lot o! useless
jpesentSj'they received a nice little
8am in caslr, and with it they were
able to purchase such articles as
they needed. Of course this was
horrible, disgusting, etc., but there
was a good deal of common sense
in it. -Did you ever look over a
bride's display cf wedding presents
wunoui Demg sirucic with the num
ber of useless things there were in
the lot and thinking of how much
money had been wasted by' friends
in the purchase of gifts for which
there would never be any oee? Be

saved the trouble of taking care of a
