Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, fell this year on Satur day. Like all Jewish holidays it was observed from evening to evening. It is the first day of the seventh month of the Jewish cal endar and was originally a sort of civil new year, but since the de struction of Jewish nationality, and the dispersion of the people, it has developed into a purely religious occasion where the principal idea put forward is the emphasis upon the flight of time and the uncer tainty of human life. All the Hebrew stores in town were closed last Saturday. HAS ARRIVED. Mr.' L. W. Anderson who lives near town, brought to our oince one day last week, two boll weevils. He had them securely corked in a bottle, but from what he says, there are thousands of the same family in his cotton fields. It has been predicted for some lime that the boll weevil would be with us for the 1 923 crop, and it appears he has already arrived and ready for business. The farmers through out this section will have to cut their cotton acreage short next year and plant corn, peanuts and tobacco, until the boll weevil has moved io another section. aOOl) THINO HE STOPPED. Little Johnnie, who had been praying for some months for God to send him a baby brother, finally became discouraged. "1 don't believe God has any more little boys to send," he told his mother, "and I'm going to stop praying." Early one morning not long after this he was taken into his mother's room to see twin boys, who had arrived in the night Johnnie re garded them thoughtfully for some minutes and then remarked, Gol ly, it's a good thing I stopped pray ing when I did."

A legend says that it was pro claimed by an angel in a certain city, that whoever laid an accepta ble ottering on the altar in the ca thedral on a certain day, would re ceive a miraculous sign of accep tance, with divine blessing. The rich paraded ostentatiously down the center aisle, and gave their rare and costly gifts. Mighty sol diers laid their swords there, kings and emperors their crowns and scepters; but all were rejected by invisible angelic hands. At the last hour, in the fast deepening twilight, a young woman, modestly dressed, slipped into the church and hugging the shadows, crept up the chancel. Onobserved, she threw herself upon the chancel rail, and reaching far across, laid her bare and empty hands upon the altar. Long she remained in silent prayer. At length she slipped away as she had come. But where she had laid her hands, behold, two white lilies sprang up, bloomed and filled the temple with fragrance. Her service, humble and complete, was the best of all the gifts laid upon God's altar. The community in which we live, and its people, need to know about Jesus. Our greatest gift to our generation is that we be what we ought to he, and bring others in touch with the Christian, source of our life. THE MUSIC CLUB.

Observing the nicety with which a cow licked the cotton out of boll, an inventor got die idea of what cromises to be a real c!n picker. His electrical cow has rough tongue of revolving brushes the suction of a high-powered vaccuum cleaner, and a group of long flexible necks. The machine, operated from a tractor, enables four pickers to cover eight rows at once, and to pick clean and about five times as last as by hand. BETTER SERVICE.

If you are a diphtheria carrier, your name has been given to the Chief of police, with instructions to arrest you if found on the streets. The average woman has a vo cabulary of only eight hundred words, says an educational expert. But half that many will do if she gets mad. You may not believe it, but there are lots of men in this country who are longing for the good old days when a woman could be both mod est and fashionable. If you have been adjudged as a diphtheria carrier, you will have to obey the law and stay at home for treatment. You will be arrested if found on the streets.

CALOMEL 5000 BUT AWFUL TRE ACHFROUS Next Dose May Salivate, Shock Liver or Attack Your Bones. You know what calomel is. It's mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. Ir crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system. If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone lor a few cents which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quick er than nasiy calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money. Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day's work, Dodson's Liver Tone straightens you right up and you feel great. No salts necessary. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and cannot salivate. ANNOUNCEMENT PARTY. Miss Sue Murker, ol Weldon to Become the Bride f Mr. H. L. Liizell, of (Joldsboro, on No vember 8th.

Miss Ida Tarbell, ihe marine writer, has been in Pennsylvania lately, we learn, seeking "local color" as the ancestral home of Abraham Lincoln. Not far from where the Lincolns lived in Berks county at thai time resided another famous, but Pennsylvania-bred Kentuckian, Daniel Boone. It ii to be hoped that Miss Tar hell's search at the fountain head of the Lincoln family will enable her to banish from a section of the South ihe tradition thai John C. Calhoun was Lincoln's father. The story has been circulated for generations and is actually believed by many intelligent people. This lale is akin to others that have scandalized ihe eminent for ages. The scholarly l-'roude took great pains to disprove thai Julius Caesar was the father of his own assassin, Brutus. The latest and best biography of Thaddeus Stephens devotes space to year that the famous Pennsyl vanian was the son of an obscure New England farmer, but of the great French statesman Talleyrand, who was visiiing America the year before Stevens was born. The fact that Stevens had a club foot was the basis of the story, which Stevens had heard. Biographers of Alexander Ham ilton have ever groped around the identity of his father. Born in the West Indies, he came io this coun try when a youth and entered col lege. Recent,y ihe legend has gone forth that Hamilton's father was none other than Washington a raoncation as tar letcned as it is grotesque. Washington did visit the West Indies when a boy, and he had smallpox while he was there, but his admiration for Ham ilton in future years was not due to blood relationship. More lives are lost now by step ping on the gas than by blowing it out. ll" all men voted as they prom ised to do, how different the elec tion returns would be. Now they want laws to protect air traffic. But they can never re peal the law of gravity. A Philadelphia doctor says that people don't drink enough water. VC hat are they drinking? Henry Ford may be a man of peace, but he bucked right up and fought the coal profiteers. Just as we expected. The coal strike was settled before Congress found out what it was about. Anothek objection to Senator Henry Cabot Lodge is that he lives at a town named Nahant. "The industrial mess fills no dinner pails," complains an ex change. But it is food for thought. AFTER the railroad strike is fi nally settled let all hands go back to making the grade crossings safe. The German mark fell another fifty points last week. If it falls much further it will be wiped out. And we were told that one re sult of the war would be that the Turks would be driven out of Eu rope France's chief grievance against Lloyd George seems to be that he won't collect the debt that Germa ny owes her. YOUR business may not be satis factory; but how would you like to be running a life insurance compa ny in Ireland? "Ireland needs a leader," says an exchange. That's just the trou ble. Every individual Irishman thinks he is the real leader. Governor Allen, of Kansas, has issued but one pardon, and that upon the recommendation of physicians to a man dying of tu berculosis. What an unusual gov ernor. A telegram from New York says that Southern women were glad to adopt the short skirts, as they are not taking kindly to the long skirt propaganda. Nell Lewis is right. They will not go back to long skins and be street sweepers. $J0O. Medical student: "What did you operate on the man for, Doctor?" Doctor: "Three hundred dol lars."
