Vie return thanks to our friend Mr. U rn. A. Carter to be present at the gradua ting exercises of the United States College of Veterinary Surgeons, on Wednesday, April 17th, Wash ington, D. C. What We Are at Home. Our life abroad is but a reflex of what it is at home. We make our selves in a great measure at home. This is especially true of women. The woman who is of course.rude and vulgar at home, cannot be ex pected to be chaste and refined in the world. She cannot shake them off. They are woven into the web of her life. Now Is The Time to Pay. The life of an editor was saved the other day by the presence of a sil ver dollar in his pocket. A crank shot at him and the bullet struck the dollar. Should we happen to get shot before you pay up your subscription and there is no dollar to stop the ball we shall always presume you might have saved our life. Stop! Look! Listen A good example is the best teacher. Pre cepts are useless tl cuniradicird by our daily living. If we aie slaves to our evil passions, how can we leach our children self control. If we sometimes speak or act an un truth, we cannot expect them to be truthful. Do not scold; do not use harsh words; for they will surely be reflected in your children. Should not Pass Unnoticed. It is a pity that the parents of the boys who were throwing rocks at the school building on Sunday night while Mr. Pou was speaking could not have been present and known that their sons were guilty of such unpatriotic acts. These are serious times and such conduct re fleets dishonor on our town as well aa on the guilty parlies and should ol pass unnoticed. 'We we have them. ;m iht. lmiS limit of , endurance. There hanle when menial and physical l'erhaps he is waiting to go "mcr the post when l.uigm.- ,,d nm. assure hun, hut Ul, sui,,,y This is the least we can do lot i,r their not Move OL'T.-Whcn one finds he is out of sympathy with his home town he should move out. Do not get into that unconscious habit of growling. Thank Fortune we only have a few "kickers" in Weklon, but the few we have are weight for the rest to carry. If you have made up your mind to live in a town then stand tin lor it Think oi-- Yoi k own Faults. Don't tell everything you know. don't tell everything you hear, don't Mister your tongue with back biting, don't be Satan's bellows to blow up the lire of strife in the community, Hither cut olf a bit ol your tongue or season it with the salt of grace. Be quick to work and slow to talk. Think ol your own faults ere other people's faults you tell. KhEi Your Money at Home. Never send a dollar away from home when the article that the dollar will purchase can be obtained at home. Money is our financial blood. Its circula tion keeps the business body alive. Bleed that body by sending money away and business will soon put on J look ol lethargy. Always trade at home. Watch the bargains of fered by enterprising merchants in this paper and you will learn the best places to spend those home dollars. Don't Be a Dummy. -When anyone comes to U eldon grasp him by the hand and tell him what bright prospects the town has. Don't stand around hke a lot of dressed up dummies before a cloth ing store and wear long faces with gloomy looks that see only the dark side of things. Above all, Jon t go whining around and make a shadow on the bluesi sky. If you really liave not the heart to speak a cheery word or lend your uillueiice in behalf of our town, for mercy sake hide yourself when strangers come to visit us. Siioit.dBeSenttotheCoun- n Roads. We areinfurmed that someone look Dr. T. W.M.Long's automobile key Irom his machine on Sunday night, while he was listening to Mr. Pou's speech, and gave him considerable trouble, as he could not move his car without it and was forced to hire another car lo lake him and his party to their home in Roanoke Rapids. Such acts of vandalism are too fre quent in Weldon and the town au thorities should see that there is a stop put to all such. The county roads is a good place for any one who w ould Jo such a thing.

THE JUNIUS DANIEL CHAPTER lintertnined by Mrs. Walter E. Daniel. The Junius Daniel Chapter U. 11 (' ln.ll tlioir r-timilir mpprina on Wednesday, April 3rd, with Mrs. W. H. Daniel, as hostess, The day was beautiful and balmy, ,,e lawns and hedges with their new dress of green, washed by a recent April shower, gave a call from nature to each one of her children to come out in the sun shine and with renewed hope and spirits to take up the work of "do ing" and "giving" that right and justice may win and peace and plenty abound in the earth. The ladies met promptly and the meet ing was opened by singing a hymn and prayer. Alter roll call the committee reported quite a nice additional sum collected for a bed in a hospital in France. Selections were read showing the patriotic work of the Li. D.

C FROM ROSEMARY. Knowing our country is in a se rious condition and sad to know some of our young men from this llage, other towns and neighbor hoods will have to leave their homes, mothers, friends and com panions, with the expectation of never seeing each other again ! If any holding any unkind feelings in their heart against their friend and fellowman, may he in all good will in his heart deep as the broad waters tbat covers the seas, offer your hand in friendship, as the separating point is now at hand. A year ago this spring, I visited my old home, Ringwood. I have been away nearly 20 years, the older heads that were there then, are dead, and those of my school mates, who some are doctors and lawyers, and in other business.and of whom I feel proud of have made their homes elsewhere, except Mr. C. A. Williams, who has been a merchant of that town 50 years. J. T. Bishop. Acta like dynamite on a sluggish uver ana yon lose a day's work.
