Dr. John Knox, Ji., return ed yesterday from Baltimore, where he went with Mr. V. l (Iray, who underwent an opera tion at. .Johns Hopkins Hospital Saturday for appendicitis. Mr. (iray was getting along nicely when Dr. Knox left Baltimore. Mr. W. S. Rozier, who visit ed relatives in the Ten Mile sec tion last week, was in Lumber ton Monday and left that eve ning for his home in Bethune, S. ('. He says that he noted wonder ful progress in Lumberton since he lived in this section some years ago. -Miss Sallie Maxwell.whohad held a position for some time as saleslady for the firm of .Ino. T. Biggs & Co., resigned a week or so ago to take effect yesterday. The vacancy caused by Miss Maxwell's resignation has been tilled by Mis3 Josephine Roberts, who began work yesterday. Mrs. Joseph Barnes, about 05 years old, died at her home at Barnesville Tuesday. She had been in declining health for sev eral months and for several weeks little hope was entertain ed of her recovery. She is sur vived by her husband, a daugh ter and son and several grand children. - The mule which was stolen Friday night Horn Mr. L. C. Davis, who live- 3 miles from town on the Harleesville road, was found loose in a field near Rowland Monday hitched to the buggy which was stolen the same night from Mr. Jake Thompson, of Back Swamp. The negro man who found them re ported the matter to Deputy Chas. Cox, of Rowland, and Mr. Cox reported the find to the owners, tliscoved Many visiting Jews are here from near-by towns to celebrate with the local members of the race the Jewish New Year.which began last evening. Services were held last night in the Jew ish synagogue and will be held today and tomorrow, during which time all the stores of the Jews will be closed. This marks the beginning of ten penitential days, the best of which is known and observed as lorn ftippur, or Day of Atonement. The New Year is known as Rosh Hashana. Mr. F. P. Humphrey, of Saddle Tree, suffered painful in juries one day last week by be ing run over by a wagon, his mule, which lie was trying to hold his head, becoming unman ageable on the approach ol an automobile and breaking away from hirn and throwing him to the ground. The carelessness of the average automobile driver causes people who drive along the country roads lots of unneces sary trouble. Mr. Humphrey was able to be in town yesterday, but he is still sore from the ef fects of his mishap. Lem Inman, a colored youth, came into this office Tuesday and handed this scribe a paper upon which wa-? some writing which in form at first seem -d t) indi cate that somebody had ceased. But it did not mean that. Far from it. Lem said it meant that he and Edna, daughter of York McNeill, colored, who has his lo cal habitation near Hamer, S. C. were united in the holy bonds of matrimony at the home of Daniel Mephaul. Esri.. on the 12th of t his same month, the same being Sunday. And Lem said futher more that he and Edna are hap py. The first guess of the scribe was wrong: there was cause for rejoicing, not sorrow ;sor row and sighing had fled away. The thief has not been Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Caldwell Entertain in Honor of Miss Ma ry Waison, of Riverton A Delightful Event. Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Caldwell entertained Tuesdayeveningfrom 8:30 to 11:30 o'clock, at their home on Elm street, in honor of their guest Miss Mary Watson, of Riv erton, who formerly taught in the graded schools of Lumberton and has numerous friends here. The grounds and porches were "sin wmi tiajjaiiest; lanterns presenting an exceedingly pret ty and attractive appearance, which was but an earnest of the warm hospitality and delisrhtful entertainment awaitinp; within where Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell and Miss Watson received the numer ous invited guests. First on the programme tor the evening was the pairing of couples bv means of an auction sale. Mr. W. K Bethune was the auctioneer. The ladies were placed behind a cur tain in which had been cut two small holes, and all that the gen tlemen had to judge by in bid ding were two bright eyes. Fort unate, though, were the bidders above all the tribe who fall to the auctioneer's seductive pleadings; tor they were secure in the knowledge that no matter how high the bid it would not cover even a fraction of the value of the prize. At that, some were slow in bidding, for they hesitat ed to offer less than the world for what was beyond price; but all were duly sold at last ant! the gentlemen were well content. Followed a contest which test ed one's familiarity with the names of the counties in the State. Each couple was given a list of questions and the answer to each was the name of a county. Query: Who was Solomon? An swer: Davidson. Query: What did the boatman say to his wife? Answer: Rowan. And others of like nature, only different: very different; and for the nonce it was a puzzled crowd. Time up and cards collected, the dining roo:n, where Misses Annie Ruth Caldwell, Janie Car lyle, Jean Jones and Gertrude McConnaughey served a salad course and cream and cake and mints, became the center of at traction for a while. This room was beautifully decorated in pink and green, expressed in long- leaf pine and pink streamers about the walls and pink stream-j ers from the chandelier to the table beneath, on which was the cutest little pine tree imaginable, brave with life-size burrs and all. As the guests reassembled in the library, where the decorations were red and green, expressed in roses and terns, and parlor. exquisite in light blue draperies, and the hall between, the result of the county contest was an nounced. Misses Leila May Gill, Pennie Rowland, Flora McNeill and Minnie Lennon were the on ly ones who had answered every question correctly and in the cut for the prize, an exquisite hand painted copy of the well-known toast to the Old North State, Miss Gill won. Miss Gill presented the prize to the guest of honor, Miss Watson, and in tendering and receiving the gift Misses Gill and Watson made little speeches so neat and apropos that the crowd was surprised in to entirely unintended applause. Mr. Caldwell's speech in present ing the prize to Miss Gill was al so entirely happy. Tiny gilded burrs tied with red ribbon were given as souvenirs of the occasion. . Music piano, violin, voice rendered by Miss Marion MoringtAsheboro, mus ic teacher at the graded school, and Messrs. Rudolph Car lyle, Pope Stephens, W. Lennon and Simeon Caldwell, added to the pleasures of altogether delightful hours. THE PULSE OF LIFE. The newspapers published by The Observer Company are made uoon the principal ot making the best possible newspaper, regardless of cost, and then taking chances on getting back the cost and something more lor our efforts. 8 Whoever subscribes for any one or more of these papers is not lavinsr out an expense account but is making an investment. The news columns carry information that is worth money and so also do the advertising columns. The business man who will watch these columns will find many an opportunity to tnrn an honest dollar in trade and at the same time give the other fellow what he is looki . for. The news gatherers of the company' publications are trained to get and print news of commercial v.alue. New business opportunities iiew enterprises, changes and developments in old enterprises where there is opportunity for trade, are all carefully recorded. '" , Any of these publications are invaluable for family reading. Everybody ought to have a good clean newspaper. It is the equivalent of an educa tion for those who cannot otherwise get school or college training and it is the connecting link between the school or collegiate training and prac tical life. The modern newspaper is the pulse of the daily activities and (hose who don't feelt his pulse are not fully alive to these activities.

Schokett drifted into the, toils Tuesday night and as a result had to pay into the town treasury yesterday a total of $1D.G(), which represented a fine of $10 and costs for disturb ing the peace in the neighbor hood of his residence on Second street. It was in evidence that a woman and children were screaming and that there was something wrong, just what did not appear at the trial. Schokett made a statement to the effect that he got home just in the mid dle of the disturbance and told his wife and the children to stop making such a racket.
