Teachers Must Have Certificates.
Poe's N. C, Nov. 12th 1897.
1
To the School Committeemen
of Harnett County :
The Board of Education has
requested that, as nearly as
possible, all schools shall begin
about Ihe first of December.
Under instructions from the
State Supt., no teacher, not
even as an assistant, is allowed
to teach in the public schools
without having a certificate
from the Supervisor.
Under the law the Supervi
sor is required to visit the
schools. It would be of great
benefit to the children and the
public school interests if, at
some appropriate time, the
committee would arrange for
one or two educational rallies
in each township.
See that the children have
comfortable school-rooms and
especially guard their interests
in your selection of teachers.
Be sure to get correct census
reports and send them to me by
first Monday in December.
If at any time I can serve
you or the children of my coun
ty, please do me the kindness
of letting me know it.

Household Gods.
The ancient Greeks believed
th n t the Penates were the gods
who attended to the welfare and
prosperity of the family, l'hey
were worshipped as household
gods in every home. The
household god of to-day is Dr.
King's New Discovery. For
consumption, coughs, colds and
for all affections of Throat,
Chest and Lungs it is invalua
ble. It has been tried for a
quarter of a century and is guar
anteed to cure, or money re

be without this good angel. It

When The Civil War Ended.
Many people think Appomat
tox marked the end of the war,
as Sumter did its beginning.
As a matter of fact, the war
did not end officially until until
August 20, 18GG, when Presi
dent Johnson issued a procla
mation announcing that war
was at an end, and that peace,
order and tranquility and civil
authority existed in all the
States. While Lee's surrender
was not the end of the war, it
was the beginning of the end.
Johnson surrendered oil April
26, "Dick" Taylor on May 4,
and Kirby Smith not until May
2G. On May 13, more than a
month after Lee's surrender, a
sharp fight took place at Pal
metto ranch, in Texas, which
is called by Jefferson Davis and
other authorities the last battle
of the war. The commander of
the Union troops, mostly col
ored, sas in his report :
"The last volley of the war,,
it is believed, was fired bv the
Sixtv-second United States Col
ored Infantry, about sunset on
May 13, 18G5, between White's
ranch and the Roca Chica,
Texas." Ill this fight, which
took place on the American
side of the Rio Grande River,
the Mexican Imperialists sent
over a bo.dy of cavalry, which
aided the Confederates in their
last successful attack. On June
13 Tennessee was declared at
peace ; June 23 the blockade
was raised; July .22 Grant
made his last official report;
April 2, 186G, proclamation that
Georgia, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Alabama, Louisiana,
Arkansas, Mississippi and
Florida are tranquil, issued by
the President. August 20,
1866, war officially declared
ended. The latter date was in
1867 fixed by Congress as the
official and legal date of the
close of the war. New York

About Cotton.
A good many farmers have
asked our opinion about cotton.
We can't give any opinion as
to what cotton will do in the
future. No mortal man knows.
It may go lower or it may go
higher. The J indications are
that it will go lower still. If
we knew what cotton would do
we would gladly tell the far
mers, but we do not and we
suppose it is best; that no one
can know. The indications are
that this will be the largest crop
ever gathered and may reach
eleven million bales. A prob
able strike of 200,000 cotton
mill employes in England and
rumors of war with Spain" tend
to keep the price lower, and the
depression in the market of
manufactured cotton goods is
no sign for improvement in the
price of raw cotton.
New York futures for March
cotton are down to 5.74 and they
do not reach six cents for any
month next year. Holding cot
ton is like playing at games of
chance vou may sometimes win
and sometimes lose, but often
er lose, we believe. It has been
our observation that as a rule it
is best to sell cotton as fast as
vaii ffot it vphIv for market. If
on- Tnnn know exactly what
cotton would do, and had a lit
tie monev he could make an
immense fortune in a few weeks,
but such is only speculation
and the man who deals in cot
ton futures generally loses as
much if not more than
gains.

There is a matrimonial case

One Alex Joiner, who lives
about ' three miles from this

third time to the same woman.
Some few years ago he was
married and he and his better
half (or "wusser") lived to
gether for some time. They
finally could not agree and sep
arated. A divorce was ob
tained by both. After a time
Mr. Joiner began to pay his re
spects to' his former wife and
after a second sevies of court
ships they were married again.
Ere long a second divorce was
applied for and granted. A few
months ago a third. courtship
was begun and ended in a third
marriage about three weeks
ago. The are now living in
perfect harmony. II untsville
